Definition of "Fault" |
A circuit condition in which current flows through an abnormal or unintended path. This may result from ah insulation failure or a bridging of insulation. Conventionally the impedance between live conductors or between live conductors and exposed or extraneous conductive parts at the fault position is considered negligible. / An accidental condition that causes a functional unit to fail to perform its required function. A defect that causes a reproducible or catastrophic malfunction. / An accidental condition that causes a functional unit to fail to perform its required function. / In computing and operating systems, a trap, also known as an exception or a fault, is typically a type of synchronous interrupt typically caused by an exceptional condition . A trap usually results in a switch to kernel mode, wherein the operating system performs some action before returning control to the originating process. A trap in a system process is more serious than a trap in a user process, and in some systems is fatal. In some usages, the term trap refers specifically to an interrupt intended to initiate a context switch to a monitor program or debugger. / Interactive television also known as ITV or iTV is a form of media convergence, adding data services to traditional television technology. Throughout its history, these have included on-demand delivery of content, as well as new uses such as online shopping, banking, and so forth. Interactive TV is a concrete example of how new information technology can be integrated vertically into established technologies and commercial structure rather than laterally creating new production opportunities outside of existing commercial structures, example the world wide web. / (1) in hardware, a physical defect or imperfection of hardware. Typical circuit faults are shorts opens in conductor, defects in silicon, etc. |
