Contained within the circuitry of a computer or computer peripheral device, and not changeable by programming; -- of functions; as, error correction is hard-wired into the circuit of the disk drive, so it proceeds very rapidly.
Connected by a continuous electrical wire, rather than through a switch; as, the air-conditioner was hard-wired into the wall circuit, so moving it would require an electrician.
Performed by an inborn pattern of neural circuits; instinctive; not learned; as, many bird songs are hard-wired, but some are learned.
Line cords and/or handset cords are permanently attached to the unit, and are not consumer replaceable.
This describes a circuit capable of and intended to perform only one task.
Describes a connection between two or more devices which is direct and permanent.
Neurologically based factor, the neural connectors primarily formed during gestation, similar to the hard wiring of a computer.
That part of a circuit which is physically interconnected.
A system that uses wires to connect all of the devices to the control.
(1) Referring to a communications link, whether remote phone line or local cable, that permanently connects two nodes, stations, or devices. (2) Descriptive of electronic circuitry that performs fixed logical operations by virtue of unalterable circuit layout, rather than under computer or stored-program control.
Hard Wired is an album by Front Line Assembly, released in 1995. It makes extensive use of audio-clips from the 1995 film In the Mouth of Madness, especially in the track "Mortal."
