A weapon which throws or propels a missile to a distance; any firearm or instrument for throwing projectiles by the explosion of gunpowder, consisting of a tube or barrel closed at one end, in which the projectile is placed, with an explosive charge behind, which is ignited by various means. Muskets, rifles, carbines, and fowling pieces are smaller guns, for hand use, and are called {small arms}. Larger guns are called {cannon}, {ordnance}, {fieldpieces}, {carronades}, {howitzers}, etc. See these terms in the Vocabulary. As swift as a pellet out of a gunne When fire is in the powder runne. --Chaucer. The word gun was in use in England for an engine to cast a thing from a man long before there was any gunpowder found out. --Selden. 2. (Mil.) A piece of heavy ordnance; in a restricted sense, a cannon. 3. pl. (Naut.) Violent blasts of wind. Note: Guns are classified, according to their construction or manner of loading as {rifled} or {smoothbore}, {breech-loading} or {muzzle-loading}, {cast} or {built-up guns}; or according to their use, as {field}, {mountain}, {prairie}, {seacoast}, and {siege guns}. {Armstrong gun}, a wrought iron breech-loading cannon named after its English inventor, Sir William Armstrong. {Great gun}, a piece of heavy ordnance; hence (Fig.), a person superior in any way. {Gun barrel}, the barrel or tube of a gun. {Gun carriage}, the carriage on which a gun is mounted or moved. {Gun cotton} (Chem.), a general name for a series of explosive nitric ethers of cellulose, obtained by steeping cotton in nitric and sulphuric acids. Although there are formed substances containing nitric acid radicals, yet the results exactly resemble ordinary cotton in appearance. It burns without ash, with explosion if confined, but quietly and harmlessly if free and open, and in small quantity. Specifically, the lower nitrates of cellulose which are insoluble in ether and alcohol in distinction from the highest (pyroxylin) which is soluble. See {Pyroxylin}, and cf. {Xyloidin}. The gun cottons are used for blasting and somewhat in gunnery: for making celluloid when compounded with camphor; and the soluble variety (pyroxylin) for making collodion. See {Celluloid}, and {Collodion}. Gun cotton is frequenty but improperly called nitrocellulose. It is not a nitro compound, but an ethereal salt of nitric acid. {Gun deck}. See under {Deck}. {Gun fire}, the time at which the morning or the evening gun is fired. {Gun metal}, a bronze, ordinarily composed of nine parts of copper and one of tin, used for cannon, etc. The name is also given to certain strong mixtures of cast iron. {Gun port} (Naut.), an opening in a ship through which a cannon's muzzle is run out for firing. {Gun tackle} (Naut.), the blocks and pulleys affixed to the side of a ship, by which a gun carriage is run to and from the gun port. {Gun tackle purchase} (Naut.), a tackle composed of two single blocks and a fall. --Totten. {Krupp gun}, a wrought steel breech-loading cannon, named after its German inventor, Herr Krupp. {Machine gun}, a breech-loading gun or a group of such guns, mounted on a carriage or other holder, and having a reservoir containing cartridges which are loaded into the gun or guns and fired in rapid succession, sometimes in volleys, by machinery operated by turning a crank. Several hundred shots can be fired in a minute with accurate aim. The {Gatling gun}, {Gardner gun}, {Hotchkiss gun}, and {Nordenfelt gun}, named for their inventors, and the French {mitrailleuse}, are machine guns. {To blow great guns} (Naut.), to blow a gale. See {Gun}, n., 3.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Motherly \Moth"er*ly\, a. [AS. m[d3]dorlic.] Of or pertaining to a mother; like, or suitable for, a mother; tender; maternal; as, motherly authority, love, or care. --Hooker. Syn: Maternal; paternal. Usage: {Motherly}, {Maternal}. Motherly, being Anglo-Saxon, is the most familiar word of the two when both have the same meaning. Besides this, maternal is confined to the feelings of a mother toward her own children, whereas motherly has a secondary sense, denoting a care like that of a mother for her offspring. There is, perhaps, a growing tendency thus to separate the two, confining motherly to the latter signification. [bd]They termed her the great mother, for her motherly care in cherishing her brethren whilst young.[b8] --Sir W. Raleigh.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) A system for effectively managing material requirements in a manufacturing process. Information systems have long been an important part of the manufacturing environment. In the 1960s, manufacturers developed Material Requirements Planning (MRP). According to the American Production and Inventory Control Society, Inc. (APICS), MRP is a set of techniques that uses bill of material data, inventory data, and the master production schedule to calculate requirements for materials. It makes recommendations to reorder materials. Furthermore, because it is time-phased, it makes recommendations to reschedule open orders when due dates and need dates are not in phase. Time-phased MRP begins with the items listed on the Master Production Schedule and determines the quantity of all components and materials required to fabricate those items and the date that the components and material are required. Time-phased MRP is accomplished by exploding the bill of material, adjusting for inventory quantities on hand or on order and offsetting the net requirements by the appropriate lead times.

Motorola 14500B (MC14500B) A 1-bit {ICU} from {Motorola}. Probably the limit in small processors, the 14500B had a 4-bit instruction and controlled a single data read/write line, used for application control. It had no address bus - that was an external unit that was added on. Another {CPU} could be used to feed control instructions to the 14500B in an application. It had only 16 pins, less than a typical {RAM} chip, and ran at 1 {MHz}. (1994-11-30)

Motorola 6800 A {microprocessor} released shortly after the {Intel 8080}, in about 1975. It had 78 instructions, including the undocumented HCF ({Halt and Catch Fire}) bus test instruction. The 6800 evolved into the {Motorola 6801} and 6803. The {6502} was based on the design of the 6800 but had one less data register and one more index register. (1994-10-31)

Motorola 68000 (MC68000) The first member of {Motorola, Inc.}'s family of 16- and 32-bit {microprocessors}. The successor to the {Motorola 6809} and followed by the {Motorola 68010}. The 68000 has 32-bit registers but only a 16-bit {ALU} and external {data bus}. It has 24-bit addressing and a {linear address space}, with none of the evil {segment registers} of {Intel}'s contemporary processors that make programming them unpleasant. That means that a single directly accessed {array} or structure can be larger than 64KB in size. Addresses are computed as 32 bit, but the top 8 bits are cut to fit the address bus into a 64-pin package (address and data share a bus in the 40 pin packages of the {8086} and {Zilog Z8000}). The 68000 has sixteen 32-bit {registers}, split into data and address registers. One address register is reserved for the {Stack Pointer}. Any register, of either type, can be used for any function except direct addressing. Only address registers can be used as the source of an address, but data registers can provide the offset from an address. Like the {Zilog Z8000}, the 68000 features a supervisor and user mode, each with its own {Stack Pointer}. The {Zilog Z8000} and 68000 are similar in capabilities, but the 68000 is 32 bits internally, making it faster and eliminating forced segmentations. Like many other CPUs of its generation, it can fetch the next instruction during execution (2 stage {pipeline}). The 68000 was used in many {workstations}, notably early {Sun-2} machines, and {personal computers}, notably {Apple Computer}'s first {Macintoshes} and the {Amiga}. It was also used in most of {Sega}'s early arcade machines, and in the {Genesis}/{Megadrive} consoles. Variants of the 68000 include the {68HC000} (a low-power HCMOS implementation) and the {68008} (an eight-bit data bus version used in the {Sinclair QL}).

Motorola 6801 (And 6803) A version of the {Motorola 6800} with {ROM}, some {RAM}, a serial I/O port and other functions on the chip. It was meant for embedded controllers, where the part count was to be minimised. The 6803 led to the 68HC11 and that was extended to 16 bits as the 68HC16. (1994-11-07)

Motorola 68010 A {microprocessor} from {Motorola}. It was the successor to the {Motorola 68000} and was followed by the {Motorola 68020}. Some instructions which were previously {user mode} were made {system mode}, which necessitated patches to a few programs. The 68010's main advantage over the 68000 was that it could recover from a {bus fault}. The 68000 {microcode} didn't save enough state to restart all instructions; the 68010 corrected this fault. This allowed it to use {paged virtual memory}. The 68010's DBxx (decrement and branch) instructions could hold and execute the preceding instruction in the {prefetch buffer}, allowing some two-instruction loops to execute without refetching instructions. At one time there was a 68010 variant that was pin-for-pin compatible with the 68000. Early {Amiga} hackers replaced their 68000s with 68010s in order to get a small performance increase.

Motorola 68020 A {microprocessor} from {Motorola}. It was the successor to the {Motorola 68010} and was followed by the {Motorola 68030}. The 68020 has 32-bit internal and external data and address buses and a 256-byte {instruction buffer}, arranged as 64 {direct-mapped} 4-byte entries[?]. The 68020 added many improvements to the 68010 including a 32-bit {ALU} and external {data bus} and {address bus}, and new instrucitons and {addressing modes}. The 68020 (and 68030) had a proper three-stage {pipeline}. The new instructions included some minor improvements and extensions to the supervisor state, some support for {high-level languages} which didn't get used much (and was removed from future 680x0 processors[?]), bigger (32 x 32-bit) multiply and divide instructions, and bit field manipulations. The new adderessing modes added another level of indirection to many of the pre-existing modes, and added quite a bit of flexibility to various indexing modes and operations. The {instruction buffer} (an {instruction cache}) was 256 bytes, arranged as 64 direct-mapped 4-byte entries. Although small, it made a significant difference in the performance of many applications. The 68881 and the faster 68882 {FPU} chips could be used with the 68020. The 68020 was used in many models of the {Apple Macintosh} II series of {personal computers} and {Sun} 3 {workstations}.

The odd numbers (68010, 68030, 68050) were minor upgrades from the previous chip. For example, the {Motorola 68010} was a {Motorola 68000} with some minor enhancements and modifications to some user/superuser instruction assignments. The {Motorola 68030} was a {Motorola 68020} with an {MMU} and more minor enhancements.

It has 2 to 3 times the performance of the 68040. The 68060 is probably the last development from Motorola in the high performacnce 680x0 series. They don't want to compete with their own {PowerPC} chips. The 680x0 series is intended more for embedded systems, where it is already very popular.

Motorola 6809 (MC6809) An eight-bit {microprocessor} from {Motorola, Inc.} The 6809 was a major advance over both its predecessor, the {Motorola 6800} and also over the {6502}. The 6809 had two 8-bit {accumulator}s, rather than one in the 6502, and could combine them into a single 16-bit register. It also featured two {index register}s and two {stack pointer}s, which allowed for some very advanced {addressing mode}s. The 6809 was source compatible with the 6800, even though the 6800 had 78 instructions and the 6809 only had around 59 (including a {SEX} instruction). Some instructions were replaced by more general ones which the {assembler} would translate, and some were even replaced by {addressing mode}s. Other features were one of the first multiplication instructions of the time, 16-bit arithmetic and a special fast {interrupt}. But it was also highly optimised, gaining up to five times the speed of the 6800 series CPU. Like the 6800, it included the undocumented HCF ({Halt and Catch Fire}) bus test instruction. The {Hitachi 6309} was a version with extra {register}s. The 6809 was used in the UK "{Dragon 32}" {personal computer} and was followed by the {Motorola 68000}.
