Definitions for "Guarding"
A type of data redundancy that uses a set of physical drives to store data and a single, additional drive to store parity data. Using guarding, the user’s data is protected from the loss of a single drive. Guarding is sometimes preferred over mirroring because it is more cost effective in systems with a very high storage capacity. However, guarded configurations are significantly slower for application programs that frequently write to the array, because each attempt to write to the array requires multiple read and write commands to maintain the parity information. If this is a problem, mirroring or duplexing is a better choice. See also mirroring, RAID 4, and RAID 5.
A type of data redundancy in which a set of physical drives stores data and an additional drive stores parity data. See also mirroring, striping, and RAID. — Hexadecimal. A base-16 numbering system, often used in programming to identify addresses in the system's RAM and I/O memory addresses for devices. In text, hexadecimal numbers are often followed by.
following an opponent around the court to prevent him from getting the ball, taking a shot or making a pass
The defensive position of the arms against an opponents blows or anticipated blows.
the act of following an opponent around the court to prevent him from getting close to the basket, taking an open shot or making easy an pass, while avoiding illegal contact.
stiffening of muscles in response to pain
Involuntary local reflex ("protective") abdominal muscle contraction in the region of an area of peritonitis (inflamed lining membrane of the potential cavity in the abdomen).
A technique that reduces leakage errors and decreases response time. Consists of a guard conductor driven by a low-impedance source surrounding the lead of a high-impedance signal. The guard voltage is kept at or near the potential of the signal.
A process often used in In-Circuit and other forms of test that ensures that a shunt path does not interfere with a measurement. It is achieved by forcing nearby nodes to a given voltage, often virtual earth.

Placement of live parts of electrical equipment where they cannot accidentally be contacted, such as in a vault, behind a shield, or on a raised platform, to which only qualified persons have access.
