User interface designUser interface (UI) design or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience. In computer or software design, user interface (UI) design primarily focuses on information architecture. It is the process of building interfaces that clearly communicates to the user what's important. UI design refers to graphical user interfaces and other forms of interface design.
Speech translationSpeech translation is the process by which conversational spoken phrases are instantly translated and spoken aloud in a second language. This differs from phrase translation, which is where the system only translates a fixed and finite set of phrases that have been manually entered into the system. Speech translation technology enables speakers of different languages to communicate. It thus is of tremendous value for humankind in terms of science, cross-cultural exchange and global business.
Java (technique)Java est une technique informatique développée initialement par Sun Microsystems puis acquise par Oracle à la suite du rachat de l'entreprise. Défini à l'origine comme un langage de programmation, Java a évolué pour devenir un ensemble cohérent d'éléments techniques et non techniques.
Google TraductionGoogle Traduction (Google Translate) est un service de traduction automatique gratuit fourni par Google. Contrairement à d'autres services de traduction comme Babel Fish (supprimé en 2012), AOL et Yahoo! qui utilisent SYSTRAN, Google utilise son propre logiciel de traduction. Le service permet également la traduction de pages Web, même longues. Depuis , une limitation de caractères traduits est posée, mais elle n'affecte pas la traduction d'une page web via son URL.
Power toolA power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with hand tools. The most common types of power tools use electric motors. Internal combustion engines and compressed air are also commonly used. Tools directly driven by animal power are not generally considered power tools. Power tools are used in industry, in construction, in the garden, for housework tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and around the house for purposes of driving (fasteners), drilling, cutting, shaping, sanding, grinding, routing, polishing, painting, heating and more.
Data-flow analysisData-flow analysis is a technique for gathering information about the possible set of values calculated at various points in a computer program. A program's control-flow graph (CFG) is used to determine those parts of a program to which a particular value assigned to a variable might propagate. The information gathered is often used by compilers when optimizing a program. A canonical example of a data-flow analysis is reaching definitions.
Free Java implementationsFree Java implementations are software projects that implement Oracle's Java technologies and are distributed under free software licences, making them free software. Sun released most of its Java source code as free software in May 2007, so it can now almost be considered a free Java implementation. Java implementations include compilers, runtimes, class libraries, etc. Advocates of free and open source software refer to free or open source Java virtual machine software as free runtimes or free Java runtimes.
Prototypevignette|Photographie d'un prototype BMW : la BMW Nazca C2 Dans le domaine de l'industrie et plus généralement de la recherche et développement (R&D), un prototype est selon la définition de l'OCDE , mais il s'agit aussi parfois d'un exemplaire incomplet (et non définitif) de ce que pourra être un produit (éventuellement de type logiciel, ou de type « service »Djellal, F., Gallouj, C., Gallouj, F., Francoz, D., & Jacquin, Y.

Chow varietyIn mathematics, particularly in the field of algebraic geometry, a Chow variety is an algebraic variety whose points correspond to effective algebraic cycles of fixed dimension and degree on a given projective space. More precisely, the Chow variety is the fine moduli variety parametrizing all effective algebraic cycles of dimension and degree in . The Chow variety may be constructed via a Chow embedding into a sufficiently large projective space.
Interface utilisateur tangiblevignette|Reactable, un exemple d'interface utilisateur tangible Une interface utilisateur tangible est une interface utilisateur sur laquelle l'utilisateur interagit avec l'information numérique par le moyen de l'environnement physique. L'objectif de développement des interfaces utilisateur tangibles est d'encourager la collaboration, l'éducation et le design (conception) en donnant à l'information digitale une forme physique, profitant ainsi des capacités humaines de saisir et de manipuler des objets physiques et des matériaux.
