This allowed comparatively simple hardware to act either as a mainframe peripheral controller or to be packaged as a standalone computer.

These rooms should also have been built to allow grab bars, accessible controls, and accessible hardware to be easily installed.

This allows low-cost hardware and compact software implementations to use the same operations for both encryption and decryption.

The open architecture allows hardware to be reconfigured to provide new facilities and features that are difficult to emulate in comparable bench instruments.

Cast iron technology had long been available - now machine made screws allowed such hardware to be economically mounted.

The main difference between hardware and software is concurrency, allowing hardware to be much faster than software.

APIs are different from drivers, which are programs that allow hardware to communicate with a computer's operating system.

To do that, the company would have to adopt standard software protocols that allowed different hardware and software products to talk to each other.

This low-voltage control allows other hardware or software to turn the system on and off.

Partitioned design allows other hardware interfacing protocols to be added for support of alarm panels, etc.
