1. Pertaining to a process in which all events occur one after the other; for example, the serial transmission of the bits of a character according to the ITU-T V.25 protocol.
2. Pertaining to the sequential or consecutive occurrence of two or more related activities in a single device or channel.
3. Pertaining to the sequential processing of the individual… (Read More →)

1. Pertaining to the sequential or consecutive transmission of data into or out of a device, such as a computer, transmission line, or storage device.
2. A process by which data are obtained from a storage device or entered into a storage device in such a way that the process depends on the location of those data and on a… (Read More →)

1. A computer that has a single arithmetic and logic unit.
2. A computer, some specified characteristic of which is serial; for example, a computer than manipulates all bits of a word serially.

A port through which data are passed serially, i.e., one bit at a time, and that requires only one input channel to handle a set of bits, e.g., all the bits of a byte.

The sequential transmission of the signal elements of a group representing a character or other entity of data.
Note: The characters are transmitted in a sequence over a single line, rather than simultaneously over two or more lines, as in parallel transmission. The sequential elements may be transmitted with or without interruption. Synonym sequential transmission.

Conversion of a stream of data elements received in time sequence, i.e., one at a time, into a data stream consisting of multiple data elements transmitted simultaneously.

See parallel-to-serial conversion.

A three-port waveguide junction that has an equivalent circuit in which the impedance of the branch waveguide is predominantly in series with the impedance of the main waveguide at the junction.

A network device that provides service to the network users by managing shared resources.
Note 1: The term is often used in the context of a client-server architecture for a local area network (LAN).
Note 2: Examples are a printer server and a file server.

An application process that implements all or part of the functionality defined by a service definition [ECMATR46].
