A) A memory structure in which data is entered at one end and removed from the other. A FIFO is used as a buffer to connect two devices that operate asynchronously. b) A storage device (parallel shift register) which operates as a Turing machine to buffer asynchronous data where the first data stored is the first data read out. FIFOs are used to store video and act as “rubber-band” type buffers to keep a steady video stream where memory and system clock speeds do not match. FIFOs have less delays than standard shift registers as input and output are controlled by separate clocks.

A polygon rendered so that its interior pixels are all the same colour has been rendered with “flat” shading. An object represented by polygons that is rendered with flat shading will look distinctly faceted. No highlights or reflections are visible.
Industry:Entertainment
A high-speed digitising device based on a bank of analogue comparators. The analogue value to be digitised is the input to one side of the comparators bank. The other comparators input is tied to a tap of a resistor ladder, with each comparator tied to its own tap. The input voltage at each comparator will be somewhere between the top and bottom voltages of the resistor ladder. The comparators output a high or a low based on the comparison of the input voltage to the resistor ladder voltage. This string of 1s and 0s are converted to the binary number.
