Guidance - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Defense

(1) Direction, altitude control, and navigation (where appropriate) of sensors or interceptor vehicles. (2) The entire process by which target intelligence information received by a guided missile is used to effect proper flight control to cause timely direction changes for effective target interception.

guided ray - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Telecommunications

In an optical fiber, a ray that is confined primarily to the core. Note: A guided ray satisfies the relation given by #f21 where θ_r is the angle the ray makes with the fiber axis, r is the radial position, i.e., radial distance, of the ray from the fiber axis, n_r is the refractive index at the radial distance r from the fiber axis, and n_a is the refractive index at the core radius, a, i.e., at the core-cladding interface. Guided rays correspond to bound modes, i.e., guided modes, in terms of modes rather than rays. Synonyms bound ray, trapped ray.

An RNA molecule (or a part of it) which hybridizes with eukaryotic mRNA and aids in the splicing of intron sequences. Guide sequences may be either external (EGS) or internal (IGS) to the RNA being processed and may hybridize with either intron or exon sequences close to the splice junction. See: split gene.

GUID (globally unique identifier) - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > E-mail > Microsoft Email > Microsoft Exchange > Microsoft Exchange 2003

A 16-byte value generated from the unique identifier on a device, the current date and time, and a sequence number. A GUID is used to identify a particular device or component. In Active Directory, GUIDs are automatically generated for every object (for example, user, group, computer, and so on), and that value is guaranteed to never change. In Exchange, the Recipient Update Service automatically generates GUIDs for every mailbox. Also referred to as a Universally Unique Identifier (UUI). [Exchange 2003]
