Coupling (computer programming) — In computer science, coupling or dependency is the degree to which each program module relies on each one of the other modules. Coupling is usually contrasted with cohesion. Low coupling often correlates with high cohesion, and vice versa. The… … Wikipedia

Flow-based programming — In computer science, flow based programming (FBP) is a programming paradigm that defines applications as networks of black box processes, which exchange data across predefined connections by message passing. These black box processes can be… … Wikipedia
Coupling constant — For the Murray von Neumann coupling constant, see von Neumann algebra. For the coupling constant in NMR spectroscopy, see NMR spectroscopy and/or Proton NMR. In physics, a coupling constant, usually denoted g, is a number that determines the… … Wikipedia
Flow chemistry — In flow chemistry, a chemical reaction is run in a continuously flowing stream rather than in batch production. In other words, pumps move fluid into a tube, and where tubes join one another, the fluids contact one another. If these fluids are… … Wikipedia
Coupling (piping) — Pipe coupling (copper sweat) A coupling (or coupler) (used in piping or plumbing) is a very short length of pipe or tube, with a socket at one or both ends that allows two pipes or tubes to be joined, welded (steel), brazed or soldered (copper,… … Wikipedia
Excitation-contraction coupling — Excitation contraction (EC) coupling is a term coined in 1952 to describe the physiological process of converting an electrical stimulus to a mechanical response [1]. This process is fundamental to muscle physiology, whereby the electrical… … Wikipedia
Fluid coupling — A fluid coupling is a hydrodynamic device used to transmit rotating mechanical power. It has been used in automobile transmissions as an alternative to a mechanical clutch. It also has widespread application in marine and industrial machine… … Wikipedia
Inductive coupling — In electrical engineering, two conductors are referred to as mutual inductively coupled or magnetically coupled [1] when they are configured such that change in current flow through one wire induces a voltage across the ends of the other wire… … Wikipedia
Damper (flow) — This article is about the architectural element. For other uers, see Damper (disambiguation). Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air… … Wikipedia
