Force \Force\, n. [F. force, LL. forcia, fortia, fr. L. fortis       strong. See {Fort}, n.]       1. Strength or energy of body or mind; active power; vigor;             might; often, an unusual degree of strength or energy;             capacity of exercising an influence or producing an             effect; especially, power to persuade, or convince, or             impose obligation; pertinency; validity; special             signification; as, the force of an appeal, an argument, a             contract, or a term.                         He was, in the full force of the words, a good man.                                                                               --Macaulay.          2.

Strength or power for war; hence, a body of land or naval             combatants, with their appurtenances, ready for action; --             an armament; troops; warlike array; -- often in the             plural; hence, a body of men prepared for action in other             ways; as, the laboring force of a plantation.                         Is Lucius general of the forces?         --Shak.          4.

(Physics) Any action between two bodies which changes, or             tends to change, their relative condition as to rest or             motion; or, more generally, which changes, or tends to             change, any physical relation between them, whether             mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, magnetic, or of             any other kind; as, the force of gravity; cohesive force;             centrifugal force.          {Animal force} (Physiol.), muscular force or energy.          {Catabiotic force} [Gr. [?] down (intens.) + [?] life.]             (Biol.), the influence exerted by living structures on             adjoining cells, by which the latter are developed in             harmony with the primary structures.          {Centrifugal force}, {Centripetal force}, {Coercive force},             etc. See under {Centrifugal}, {Centripetal}, etc.          {Composition of forces}, {Correlation of forces}, etc. See             under {Composition}, {Correlation}, etc.          {Force and arms} [trans. of L. vi et armis] (Law), an             expression in old indictments, signifying violence.          {In force}, [or] {Of force}, of unimpaired efficacy; valid;             of full virtue; not suspended or reversed.

Strength looks rather to power as                   an inward capability or energy. Thus we speak of the                   strength of timber, bodily strength, mental strength,                   strength of emotion, etc. Force, on the other hand,                   looks more to the outward; as, the force of                   gravitation, force of circumstances, force of habit,                   etc. We do, indeed, speak of strength of will and                   force of will; but even here the former may lean                   toward the internal tenacity of purpose, and the                   latter toward the outward expression of it in action.                   But, though the two words do in a few cases touch thus                   closely on each other, there is, on the whole, a                   marked distinction in our use of force and strength.                   [bd]Force is the name given, in mechanical science, to                   whatever produces, or can produce, motion.[b8]                   --Nichol.                               Thy tears are of no force to mollify This flinty                            man.                                             --Heywood.                               More huge in strength than wise in works he was.                                                                               --Spenser.                               Adam and first matron Eve Had ended now their                            orisons, and found Strength added from above,                            new hope to spring Out of despair. --Milton.

A rhombohedron.          {Fresnel's rhomb} (Opt.), a rhomb or oblique parallelopiped             of crown or St. Gobain glass so cut that a ray of light             entering one of its faces at right angles shall emerge at             right angles at the opposite face, after undergoing within             the rhomb, at other faces, two reflections.

fragmentation          1. {segmentation}.          2. The process, or result, of splitting a large area of free       memory (on disk or in main memory) into smaller non-contiguous       blocks.   This happens after many blocks have been allocated       and freed.   For example, if there is 3 kilobytes of free space       and two 1k blocks are allocated and then the first one (at the       lowest address) is freed, then there will be 2k of free space       split between the two 1k blocks.   The maximum size block that       could then be allocated would be 1k, even though there was 2k       free.   The solution is to "compact" the free space by moving       the allocated blocks to one end (and thus the free space to       the other).   See {garbage collection}.

frequency division multiple access          {frequency division multiplexing}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
frequency division multiplexing          (FDM) The simultaneous transmission of       multiple separate signals through a shared medium (such as a       wire, {optical fibre}, or light beam) by modulating, at the       transmitter, the separate signals into separable frequency       bands, and adding those results linearly either before       transmission or within the medium.   While thus combined, all       the signals may be amplified, conducted, translated in       frequency and routed toward a destination as a single signal,       resulting in economies which are the motivation for       multiplexing.   Apparatus at the receiver separates the       multiplexed signals by means of frequency passing or rejecting       filters, and demodulates the results individually, each in the       manner appropriate for the modulation scheme used for that       band or group.          Bands are joined to form groups, and groups may then be joined       into larger groups; this process may be considered       recursively, but such technique is common only in large and       sophisticated systems and is not a necessary part of FDM.          Neither the transmitters nor the receivers need be close to       each other; ordinary radio, television, and cable service are       examples of FDM.   It was once the mainstay of the long       distance telephone system.   The more recently developed {time       division multiplexing} in its several forms lends itself to       the handling of digital data, but the low cost and high       quality of available FDM equipment, especially that intended       for television signals, make it a reasonable choice for many       purposes.          Compare {wavelength division multiplexing}, {time division       multiplexing}, {code division multiplexing}.          (2001-06-28)
