| comp., MS | application layer | programlag (A set of application models that take precedence over application models that are in lower application layers. The lowest layer is named SYS) |
| comp., MS | asynchronous communication layer | lag for asynkron kommunikasjon (The layer of AJAX functionality that takes care of communication between the browser and the server) |
| comp., MS | ATM adaptation layer | ATM-tilpasningslag (The layer of the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protocol stack that parses data into the payload portion of the ATM cell for transport across an ATM network) |
| comp., MS | Boot Information Negotiation Layer Service | Boot Information Negotiation Layer-tjeneste (A service that runs on a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server that acts on client boot requests. The display name of BINLSVC is Remote Installation) |
| environ. | boundary layer The layer of fluid adjacent to a physical boundary in which the fluid motion is significantly affected by the boundary and has a mean velocity less than the free stream value | grenselag |
| comp., MS | Core layer | kjernelag (A layer in the Surface SDK that exposes a set of APIs for developers to use to create Surface applications) |
| baker. | cream layer cake | kremkake |
| baker. | cream layer cake | bløtkake |
| comp., MS | data-link layer | datalinklag (Layer two of the OSI model. A layer that packages raw bits from the physical layer into frames (logical, structured packets for data). This layer is responsible for transferring frames from one computer to another, without errors. After sending a frame, the data-link layer waits for an acknowledgment from the receiving computer) |
| comp., MS | hardware abstraction layer | Hardware Abstraction Layer (A thin layer of software provided by the hardware manufacturer that hides, or abstracts, hardware differences from higher layers of the operating system. By means of the filter provided by the HAL, different types of hardware look alike to the rest of the operating system. This enables the operating system to be portable from one hardware platform to another. The HAL also provides routines that enable a single device driver to support the same device on all platforms) |
| environ. | inversion layer The atmosphere layer through which an inversion occurs | inversjonslag |
| baker. | layer cake | bløtkake |
| el., sec.sys. | minimum ignition temperature of a dust layer | laveste tenntemperatur for et støvlag |
| comp., MS | network interface layer | nettverksgrensesnittlag (A layer of the TCP/IP DARPA model that is responsible for placing TCP/IP packets on the network medium and receiving TCP/IP packets off the network medium. The network interface layer is also called the network access layer) |
| comp., MS | network layer | nettverkslag (Layer three of the OSI model. A layer that addresses messages and translates logical addresses and names into physical addresses. It also determines the route from the source to the destination computer and manages traffic problems, such as switching, routing, and controlling the congestion of data packets) |
| environ. | ozone layer The general stratum of the upper atmosphere in which there is an appreciable ozone concentration and in which ozone plays an important part in the radiative balance of the atmosphere | ozonlag |
| environ. | ozone layer depletion The fragile shield of ozone is been damaged by chemicals released on earth. The main chemicals that are depleting stratospheric ozone are chlorofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerators, aerosols, and as cleaners in many industries, and halons, which are used in fire extinguishers. The damage is caused when these chemicals release highly reactive forms of chlorine and bromine. Over the past 30 years ozone levels over parts of Antarctica have dropped by almost 40% during some months and a "hole" in ozone concentrations is clearly visible in satellite observations | nedbryting av ozonlaget |
| comp., MS | patch layer | oppdateringslag (An application layer that is paired above an application layer, and used only for hotfixes and service packs. The name of each patch layer ends with the letter "P", and one pair is named SYS and SYP) |
| comp., MS | posting layer | posteringslag (A current, tax, or operations ledger classification that is assigned to accounting journal entries) |
| comp., MS | session layer | øktlag (Layer five of the OSI model. A network layer that allows two applications on different computers to establish, use, and end a session. This layer establishes dialog control between the two computers in a session, regulating which side transmits, as well as when and how long it transmits) |
| environ. | soil layer Distinctive successive layers of soil produced by internal redistribution processes. Conventionally the layers have been divided into A, B and C horizons. The A horizon is the upper layer, containing humus and is leached and/or eluviated of many minerals. The B horizon forms a zone of deposition and is enriched with clay minerals and iron/aluminium oxides from the A layer. The C layer is the parent material for the present soil and may be partially weathered rock, transported glacial or alluvial material or an earlier soil | jordlag |
| comp., MS | Transport Layer Security encryption | TLS-kryptering (A generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)) |
| comp., MS | WPF layer | WPF-lag (A layer in the Surface SDK that exposes functionality for developers to use to create Surface applications) |
