Iron Pipe Size (OD). Same as NPS. Standard pipe threads. Also Internal Pipe Swivel connection (female)

Iron Pipe Size. Standard pipe threads. See also "FIP", "MIP".

abbreviation for pipe size: Iron Pipe Size.

improvement points. These are given out at every level-up and are spent improving abilities and skills. Abbreviation can also can stand for IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is the unique number assigned to your computer when it's connected to the Internet, which lets your PC connect to the Anarchy Online servers.

A pipe specification system that associates certain nominal pipe diameters with standardized wall thickness called "schedules." The same schedule number will have a different fixed decimal inch value for each nominal diameter.

(Iron Pipe Size) Standard Pipe threads. Female IPS is internal pipe threads, male IPS is external pipe threads. Also known as "NPT" or "NPS".

ron ipe ize: Standard pipe size. Female IPS are threaded internally; Male IPS are threaded externally.

Iron Pipe Size. Standard pipe threading, measured by the inside of the pipe. The Strom Plumbing Extended Tub Drain with Rubber Stopper has 1-3/8” IPS tubing.

"Iron Pipe Size"; a rating that has been established to define a given type of pipe and how it is measured. It refers back to the iron pipe that was used prior to the development and use of PVC pipe. PVC pipe utilizes IPS measurements.

Abbreviation for the “Iron Pipe Size”, used to refer to standard nominal pipe sizes

Generally an abbreviation for "iron pipe size." Sometimes it means male pipe threads.

abbreviation for iron pipe size, also means threaded fittings.

Pipe thread sizing system. Also measurement of the outside diameter of a pipe.

Abbreviation for International Pyrheliometric Scale.

IPS stands for In-Plane-Switching. It was co-developed by key manufacturers including Panasonic, Hitachi and Toshiba. IPS mode system technology is used in TFT LCD displays. It delivers a very wide viewing angle of up to 170 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with minimal gray-scale inversion (ie, when the screen starts to look blacked out when viewed from the sides). IPS works because the liquid crystal molecules inside the display rotate and therefore remain parallel to the substrate when voltage is applied. This results in perfect orientation of the crystals. An 'Advanced Super' (AS)-IPS mode system is also available for further LCD picture improvements.

In-Plane Switching (IPS) is an LCD technology in which the alignment field is generated from electrodes located on a single substrate rather than on opposite sides like more conventional (TN) panels. This technique allows greater viewing angles and contrast ratios.

Ionic Polymer System – A system used to help plating adhere.

An intrusion prevention system (a computer security term) is any device which exercises access control to protect computers from exploitation. "Intrusion prevention" technology is considered by some to be an extension of intrusion detection (IDS) technology, but it is actually another form of access control, like an application layer firewall. Intrusion prevention systems were invented by One Secure which was latter acquired by NetScreen Technologies that was aquired by Juniper Networks in 2004 who decided to make access control decisions based on application content, rather than IP address or ports as traditional firewalls had done. This ability to inspect network traffic at a deeper level confused them with intrusion detection systems, which also inspect network traffic for signs of intrusions. Intrusion prevention systems may also act at the host level to deny potentially malicious activity. An Intrusion Prevention system must also be a very good Intrusion Detection system to enable a low rate of false positives. (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusion-prevention_system)

Instalment Processing System

Intrusion Prevention System. Similar to an IDS, but also has the ability to prevent a breech of the policy configured upon it. Can also be network or host based.

Acronym for Information Processes and Systems, which is how Getronics refers to its own IT department. The different IPS teams develop and manage the process tools and systems Getronics uses to do business, as well as some development related to external customer projects.

Intrusion Prevention System A preemptive approach to host and network security used to identify and quickly respond to potential threats. An intrusion prevention system (IPS) monitors individual host and network traffic. However, because an attacker might carry out an attack immediately after he/she gains access, intrusion prevention systems can also take immediate action as preset by the network administrator. See also HIPS and NIPS.

An abbreviation for nches er econd. IPS is normally used to describe tape speed in tape recording machines. A typical cassette recorder operates at 1 7/8 IPS, where reel to reel machines can range from 1/ 7/8 all the way up to 30 IPS. Faster speeds will sound better (all other things being equal) and have less noise, but can get expensive. A standard reel of 2-inch tape costs well over $100, and at 30 IPS will only hold about 15 minutes of music.

The speed at which the label is printed.

Generally refers to tape speed or tape writing speed.

Inches per second, a measure of tape drive speed and performance.

Inches per second. A scanner transport measurement of speed.

This is an abbreviation for "inches per second", a rate of speed measurement of printers.

Imperial measurement of printer speed.
