| Electronics Industries Association | US-amerikanischer Verband von Herstellern elektronischer Produkte, Electronics Industries Association (An association based in Washington, D.C., with members from various electronics manufacturers. It sets standards for electronic components. RS-232-C, for example, is the EIA standard for connecting serial components) |
| Extended Industry Standard Architecture | Erweiterte Industriestandardarchitektur, Extended Industry Standard Architecture (" A bus standard for the connection of add-on cards to a PC motherboard, such as video cards, internal modems, sound cards, drive controllers, and cards that support other peripherals. EISA was introduced in 1988 by a consortium of nine computer industry companies. The companies--AST Research, Compaq, Epson, Hewlett-Packard, NEC, Olivetti, Tandy, Wyse, and Zenith--were referred to collectively as "the Gang of Nine". EISA maintains compatibility with the earlier Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) but provides for additional features introduced by IBM in its Micro Channel Architecture bus standard. EISA has a 32-bit data path, and it uses connectors that can accept ISA cards. However, EISA cards are compatible only with EISA systems. EISA can operate at much higher frequencies than the ISA bus and provides much faster data throughput than ISA. ") |
| industry code | Industriecode (A code used to identify different industries such as automotive, aviation, and beverage. You use industry codes to identify the associated industry of an advertisement, thus preventing two ads from competing companies in the same industry from appearing on the same page) |
| Industry Standard Architecture | Industriestandardarchitektur, Industry Standard Architecture (A bus design specification that allows components to be added as cards plugged into standard expansion slots in IBM Personal Computers and compatibles. Originally introduced in the IBM PC/XT with an 8-bit data path, ISA was expanded in 1984, when IBM introduced the PC/AT, to permit a 16-bit data path. A 16-bit ISA slot actually consists of two separate 8-bit slots mounted end-to-end so that a single 16-bit card plugs into both slots. An 8-bit expansion card can be inserted and used in a 16-bit slot (it occupies only one of the two slots), but a 16-bit expansion card cannot be used in an 8-bit slot) |
| industry vertical | Branche (A segment of the marketplace, not all of it at once) |
| Visual Studio Industry Partner Program | Visual Studio Industry Partner-Programm (A program that assists partners in building, integrating, and selling applications, tools, components, and even entire programming languages with Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Team System. The VSIP program offers unique benefits to all its members-developers, tools ISVs, and line of business and infrastructure ISVs) |
