* Vector Quantity: Denotes the simultaneous time rate of distance moved and the direction of a linear motion
* Face Velocity: Velocity obtained by dividing the volumetric flow rate by the component face area

The property of a computer program, or program segment, that allows for the simultaneous execution of operations on different data values, thus making it possible to allocate the work to a set of operators and accomplish the work in parallel. One example of work that is very vectorizable is taking an entire matrix of values and multiplying each by 2. It is possible for different operators to work on different cells of the matrix at the same time.
Variable air volume
A system for controlling the rotational speed of either an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) motor by varying the voltage to the electrical power supplied to the motor
A system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor
A material or construction that adequately impedes the transmission of water vapor under specified conditions
A device to stop or regulate the flow of fluid in a pipe or a duct by throttling
The vision of utility computing is to access information services in a fashion similar to those provided by telephone, cable TV, or electric utilities. It is a service provisioning model in which a service provider makes computing resources and infrastructure management available to the customer as needed and charges them for specific usage rather than a flat rate. Like other types of ondemand computing, such as grid computing, the utility model seeks to maximize the efficient use of resources and/or minimize associated costs
* The time during which a computer is operational. Downtime is the time when it isn't operational
* Sometimes measured in terms of a percentile. For example, one standard for uptime that is sometimes discussed is a goal called five 9s, which is a computer that is operational 99.999 percent of the time
Typically uses batteries as an emergency power source to provide power to data communications facilities until emergency generators come on line
