The complementary metal-oxide semiconductor settings, which preserve key information, until the battery dies, about the machine's hard drive, memory and other things.

CMOS ("see-moss")stands for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, is a major class of integrated circuits.

These include the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS), which stores some information, such as the system clock, when the computer is powered down.

That battery supplies power not only to the internal clock but also to the computer's CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) memory chip.

CMOS, or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, chips, use far less power than more conventional charge-coupled device chips.

C.M.O.S. (for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) settings are data about components of your system, like the hard disk, that must be right for the computer to work.

Canon says its 10-megapixel CMOS sensor (for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) has bigger microlenses over each picture element, so more light from the subject is recorded.

One of the key features that led to the success of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, technology was its intrinsic low-power consumption.

In the 1980's, the company studied replacing the traditional mainframe processors with low-cost microchips called CMOS, for complementary metal-oxide semiconductors.

PCMOS (probabilistic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) is a semiconductor manufacturing technology invented by Pr.

They can be used on either TTL (transistor-transistor logic) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) integrated circuit devices.

Both CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensors start at the same point - they have to convert light into electrons.

The Foveon chip is based on a low-cost semiconductor industry technology known as Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, or CMOS (pronounced SEE-moss).

At Kidder, Peabody & Company, Adam F. Cuhney regards Intel and Motorola as "strong buys," citing their involvement with CMOS, or complementary metal-oxide semiconductors, on the leading edge of process technology.

Several manufacturers have developed video laryngoscopes which employ digital technology such as the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor active pixel sensor (CMOS APS) to generate a view of the glottis so that the trachea may be intubated.
