UMTS = Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
Mobiltelefon-system baseret på GSM - kaldes også 3G (3. generation). Første generation er NMT, mens anden generation er GSM. Man taler også om 2½. generation, som er GPRS.
 
[TechEncyclopedia]: The European implementation of the 3G wireless phone system. UMTS, which is part of IMT-2000, provides service in the 2GHz band and offers global roaming and personalized features. Designed as an evolutionary system for GSM network operators, multimedia data rates up to 2 Mbps are expected using the W-CDMA technology. In the meantime, GPRS and EDGE are interim steps that will speed up wireless data for GSM.

Unicode
Unicode tildeler hvert enkelt skrifttegn et unikt tal, uanset hvilken platform, uanset hvilket program,

uanset hvilket sprog.

 

Grundlæggende set beskæftiger computere sig udelukkende med tal. De arkiverer bogstaver og andre skrifttegn ved at tildele et tal til hvert enkelt tegn. Før Unicode blev opfundet, var der hundredvis af forskellige indkodningssystemer beregnet til at tildele disse tegn tal. Der fandtes ikke nogen indkodning, der kunne rumme nok skrifttegn: F.eks. har Den Europæiske Union brug for flere forskellige indkodninger til at dække alle sine sprog. Selv for ét enkelt sprog som engelsk fandtes der ikke nogen indkodning, der rakte til alle bogstaverne, tegns tningstegnene og de tekniske symboler i almindelig brug.

Disse indkodningssystemer kommer også i konflikt med hinanden. Det vil sige, at to forskellige indkodninger kan bruge det samme tal til to forskellige skrifttegn, eller de kan bruge forskellige tal til det samme skrifttegn. Alle computere (især servere) har behov for at kunne understøtte mange forskellige indkodninger; alligevel risikerer data altid at blive korrumperet, når de sendes mellem forskellige indkodninger eller platforme.

 

Unicode ændrer hele situationen!

Unicode tildeler hvert enkelt skrifttegn et unikt tal, uanset hvilken platform, uanset hvilket program, uanset hvilket sprog. De førende inden for industrien, bl.a. Apple, HP, IBM, JustSystem, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sun, Sybase, Unisys og mange andre, har adopteret Unicode-standarden. Unicode forlanges af moderne standarder såsom XML, Java, ECMAScript (JavaScript), LDAP, CORBA 3.0, WML, etc., og det er den officielle måde at implementere ISO/IEC 10646 på. Det understøttes i mange operativsystemer, alle moderne browsere og mange andre produkter. Fremkomsten af Unicode-standarden og tilgængeligheden af værktøj, der understøtter den, er blandt de væsentligste nyere udviklinger inden for global software-teknologi.

Når Unicode inkorporeres i klient/server eller multi-lagsprogrammer og i websteder, giver det væsentlige besparelser sammenlignet med brugen af legacy-skrifttegnsæt. Unicode gør det muligt at anvende ét bestemt software-produkt eller ét bestemt websted på tværs af mange forskellige platforme, sprog og lande uden yderligere rekonstruktion. Det gør det muligt at transportere data gennem mange forskellige systemer, uden at de ødelægges.

UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply
- supported by NT Server

[Techweb] Backup power used when the electrical power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level. Small UPS systems provide battery power for a few minutes; enough to power down the computer in an orderly manner. Sophisticated systems are tied to electrical generators that can provide power for days.
A UPS system can be connected to a file server so that, in the event of a problem, all network users can be alerted to save files and shut down immediately.
An online UPS provides a constant source of electrical power from the battery, while the batteries are being recharged from AC power. An offline UPS, also known as a standby power system (SPS), switches to battery within a few milliseconds after detecting a power failure.
The line interactive UPS is a hybrid of the online and standby units. Like the standby unit, it does not constantly draw from the battery, but it switches over to the battery faster when required. In addition, it does not switch to battery when it encounters low voltages. It uses extra power from the the AC source to make up the difference instead.
A surge protector filters out surges and spikes, and a voltage regulator maintains uniform voltage during a brownout, but a UPS keeps a computer running when there is no electrical power. UPS systems typically provide surge suppression and may also provide voltage regulation.
UPS - Now More Than Ever In order to improve performance, computers are increasingly using write back caches, which means that updated data intended for the disk is temporarily stored in RAM. If a power failure occurs, there is more of a chance that new data will be lost, thus UPS systems are becoming important for all computers.

USB = Universal Serial Bus
Developed by Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Compaq, DEC, NEC & Northern Telecom
On new AT and ATX motherboards - 1.5 / 12Mbps. Square socket.
Plug-and-play for peripherals - may be hot-plugged (hot-swap)
Supported by Windows 95 osr-2.1, 98 and 2000.
i BIOS skal man kunne enable USB
Optager kun ét interrupt
Op til 127 enheder (mus,printer, monitor,tastatur, scanner,speaker etc) kan tilsluttes (via en USB hub) - flere enheder deler båndbredden efter et TokenRing princip
4 ledere:
- 2 data
- 2 strømforsyning: highpower (0,5A - 5V -2,5W), lowpower (0,1A - 5V - 0,5W) fx mus og tastatur
max kabellængde: 5 m

[Techweb] (Universal Serial Bus) A hardware interface for low-speed peripherals such as the keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and telephony devices. It also supports MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 digital video. USB has a maximum bandwidth of 12 Mbits/sec (equivalent to 1.5 Mbytes/sec), and up to 127 devices can be attached. Fast devices can use the full bandwidth, while lower-speed ones can transfer data using a 1.5 Mbits/sec subchannel. USB's hot swap capability allows everything to be plugged in and unplugged without turning the system off. USB ports began to appear on PCs in 1997, and Windows 98 fully supports it.
Devices are plugged directly into a four-pin socket on the PC or into a multi-port hub that plugs into the PC or into a device that also functions as a hub for other devices.
The USB bus distributes 0.5 amps (500 milliamps) of power through each port. Thus, low-power devices that might normally require a separate AC adapter can be powered through the cable. Hubs may derive all power from the USB bus (bus powered), or they may be powered from their own AC adapter. Powered hubs with at least 0.5 amps per port provide the most flexibility for future downstream devices. Port switching hubs isolate all ports from each other so that one shorted device will not bring down the others.
USB ports on the PC and hubs use a rectangular Type A socket. All cables that are permanently attached to the device have a Type A plug. Devices that use a separate cable have a square Type B socket, and the cable that connects them has a Type A and Type B plug.
USB Connections Hubs can be stand-alone units or built into the monitor, which makes it easier to connect the keyboard, mouse and other devices. The thin Type A sockets are used on the PC and hubs. Type B sockets are on the input side of hubs and on peripherals that have separate cables.

UTC = Universal Time Coordinated
Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), commonly referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Coordinated Time (also referred to as Zulu Time by the U.S. military), and mistakenly (due to different measuring methodologies that result in differences on the order of a second) referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) (established by international conference in 1884), is the time at the prime meridian (0° ±7.5° longitude), and used by numerous agencies worldwide. The International Date Line is on the other side of the world (in the middle of the 12th UTC zone) at 180° longitude.

UTC is;
equal to time at longitude 0° ± 7.5°,
equal to time in Greenwich, England,
5 hours ahead of EST (CDT),
6 hours ahead of CST (MDT),
7 hours ahead of MST (PDT),
