 Encyclopedia4U - Pointing device - Encyclopedia Article
A pointing device is any hardware component that allows a user to input spatial data to a computer.
While the most common pointing device by far is the mouse, other kinds include trackball, touchpad, pointing stick, lightpen, various kinds of digitizing tablets which use a stylus, and even a special "data glove" that translates the user's movements to computer gestures.
CAD systems and Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) allow the user to control and provide data to the computer using physical "gestures" - point, click, and drag - typically by moving a hand-held mouse across the surface of the physical desktop and activating switches on the mouse.

 Device driver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Writing a device driver is considered a challenge in most cases, as it requires an in-depth understanding of how a given platform functions, both at the hardware and the software level.
Choosing and installing the correct device drivers for given hardware is often a key component of computer system configuration.
All of this means that the engineers most likely to write device drivers come from the companies that develop the hardware - since they have more complete access to information about the design of their hardware than most outsiders.

 device - a Whatis.com definition
2) In the context of computer technology, a device is a unit of hardware, outside or inside the case or housing for the essential computer (processor, memory, and data paths) that is capable of providing input to the essential computer or of receiving output or of both.
With notebook and smaller computers, devices tend to be more physically integrated with the "non-device" part of the computer.
In a general context, a computer can be considered a device.

 DEVICE - Definition
The word device is often used in a bad sense; as, a crafty device; contrivance is almost always used in a good sense; as, a useful contrivance.
That which is devised, or formed by design; a contrivance; an invention; a project; a scheme; often, a scheme to deceive; a stratagem; an artifice.
[n] an emblematic design (especially in heraldry); "he was recognized by the device on his shield"

 Device Advice
An example of such device is intraocular lenses (21 CFR 886.3600).
After the Medical Device Amendments became law, the classification of devices was determined by FDA classification panels.
Device product classifications can be found by searching the Product Classification Database, http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfPCD/classification.cfm.

 Device manager information and help
This code indicates that the.inf file for this device may be incorrect or the registry may be damaged.
One or more of your devices within your computer are conflicting, such as an IRQ conflict.
Device manager is available in Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

 Device Independence Principles
The user agent is some software or firmware in a device (for example a browser) that lets the user identify a web page to be rendered, assembles an appropriate request for that page (possibly including the delivery context), accepts the reply (delivery unit), and renders that reply into one or more perceivable units.
The general phrase "device independence" is used for this, although the access mechanisms may include a diversity of devices, user agents, channels, modalities, formats etc.
The aim of this document is to focus on device independence and to set out some principles that can be used when evaluating current solutions or proposing new solutions, and can form the basis of more detailed requirements and recommendations.

 Device Polling support for FreeBSD
All of this is handled by accounting the time spent in network software interrupts as "device handling", and by scheduling software interrupts as described in the next section
We account the time from the first POLL to the last POLLMORE as spent in device processing, so we include deferred processing in the computation.
Additionally, if received packets are not processed to completion, it is likely that the system will not even perform any useful work because it will not find the time to complete processing outside the interrupt drivers.

 Troubleshooting Device Conflicts with Device Manager
If there is a problem with a device, it is listed in the hardware tree.
If the issue continues to occur, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard to inquire about how to obtain and install a BIOS update for your computer.
A black exclamation point (!) on a yellow field indicates the device is in a problem state.

 device driver - a Whatis.com definition
Virtual device drivers handle software interrupts from the system rather than hardware interrupts.
In Windows operating systems, a device driver file usually has a file name suffix of DLL or EXE.

 LinuxDevices.com -- your embedded Linux resource
Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) is shipping a new version of its "Stamp" development board based on a single-core DSP processor running uClinux.
Drew Technologies has used embedded Linux to build what it calls the "world's first open technology automotive scanning tool." The ScanDAQ ("data acquisition") is a ruggedized handheld device designed to run J2534-compliant software, enabling mechanics to reflash or modify automotive ECUs (electronic control units).
In this whitepaper, Tony Walters of Certicom explains the importance of -- and issues relating to -- implementing DRM in embedded systems and devices.

 Tom Duff on Duff's Device
I cannot quote chapter and verse, but Larry Rosler, who was chairman of the language subcommittee (I think), has assured me that X3J11 considered it carefully and decided that it was legal.
first, it didn't address the performance of the device, but rather the performance of one of its few uses (implementing memcpy) for which many machines have a high-performance idiom. 
Somebody claimed that while the device was named for me, I probably didn't invent it.

 Devfs (Device File System) FAQ
Not all "devices" are hardware, some are higher-level drivers like KGI, so you can get more "devices" without adding hardware You can improve this by creating an ordered (balanced:-) binary tree, in which case your search time becomes log(N).
Since only the available devices will have entries, there are no inefficencies in directory scanning or device openings.
Because the kernel has a naming scheme which is quite different from the old naming scheme, you need to install devfsd so that software and configuration files that use the old naming scheme will not break.

 DEVICE: Dynamic Environment for Visualization in Chemical Engineering
With DEVICE, we hope to find a middle ground between merely viewing a simulation and building one from scratch where the students are able to actually complete and learn through modeling tasks.
In DEVICE, students solve real world problems in a simulated environment with visualizations that help establish the realistic context.
The goal of DEVICE (Dynamic Environment for Visualization in Chemical Engineering) is to facilitate student learning through construction of models and evaluation of the models executing as simulations.

 The Enterprise Mission - Anti-Gravity
In recent years, many so-called "anti-gravity" devices have been put forward by both amateur and professional scientists, and all have been scorned by the establishment.
What makes this latest claim different is that it has survived intense scrutiny by sceptical, independent experts, and has been accepted for publication by the Journal of Physics-D: Applied Physics, published by Britain's Institute of Physics.
Lifts in buildings could be replaced by devices built into the ground.

 What is device? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
These particular devices fall into the category of peripheral devices because they are separate from the main computer.
Most devices, whether peripheral or not, require a program called a device driver that acts as a translator, converting general commands from an application into specific commands that the device understands.

 Gadget may wreak traffic havoc - 10/26/03
Because Michigan's communities have not invested in the traffic technology as heavily as some states, problems with copycat devices like the MIRT are just beginning to appear.
But the real vulnerability may lie in whether the receivers can lock out devices like the MIRT and read only the signal from specific fire trucks.
Tim Gow, who markets the device through his company, FAC, which also sells high-end weapons and accessories to police, said he's not using the Internet to appeal to the public, but only to level the playing field in a David-versus-Goliath market.
