`
`samurai
`
`scalability
`
`recorded piano note, digitized and stored in memory, is
`used by the synthesizer to create other piano-like notes.
`samurai n. A hacker employed by a company or organi-
`/anon to manage network security or conduct legal crack-
`ing operations. A samurai uses the skills of a hacker to
`meet the legitimate needs of an employer.
`SAN a. See storage area network.
`sandbox n. 1. Java Virtual Machine security area for
`downloaded (remote or untrusted) applets, an area in
`which such applets are confined and prevented from
`accessing system resources. Confinement to the sandbox
`prevents downloaded applets from carrying out potentially
`dangerous operations, maliciously or otherwise. They
`have to "play" inside the sandbox, and any attempt to
`-escape" is thwarted by the Java Security Manager.
`2. Slang for the research and development department at
`many software and computer companies. See also applet,
`Java Virtual Machine.
`sans serif adj. Literally, "without stroke"; describes any
`typeface in which the characters have no serifs (the short
`lines or ornaments at the upper and lower ends of the
`strokes). A sans serif typeface usually possesses a more
`straightforward, geometric appearance than a typeface
`with serifs and typically lacks the contrast between thick
`and thin strokes found in serif faces. Sans serif typefaces
`are used more frequently in display type, such as head-
`lines, than in blocks of text. Compare serif].
`SAOL n. Acronym for Structured Audio Orchestra Lan-
`guage. Part of the MPEG-4 standard, SAOL describes a set
`of tools for producing computer music, audio for computer
`games, streaming Internet sound or music, and other multi-
`media applications. SAOL is a flexible computer language
`I or describing music synthesis and integrating synthetic
`mtund with recorded sound in an MPEG-4 bit stream. See
`also bit stream, MPEG-4, streaming (definition 1).
`SAP a. See Service Advertising Protocol.
`SAPI n. Acronym for Speech Application Programming
`Interface. A feature in Windows 9x and Windows NT that
`dltows applications to include speech recognition or con-
`vert text to speech. Also called: Speech API. See also
`vetce recognition.
`SAS n. See single attachment station.
`
`SASL n. Acronym for Simple Authentication and Security
`Layer. An authentication support mechanism for use with
`connection-based protocols. SASL allows a client to
`request identification from a server and negotiate use of an
`added security layer for authentication during subsequent
`client/server interaction.
`
`satellite n. See communications satellite.
`
`satellite computer n. A computer that is connected to
`another computer, with which it interacts over a communi-
`cations link. As its name indicates, a satellite computer is
`of lesser "stature" than the main, or host, computer; the
`host controls either the satellite itself or the tasks the satel-
`lite performs. See also remote communications.
`
`satellite dish n. A parabolic (dish-shaped) reflector and
`antenna that is used for transmitting and receiving signals
`between the ground and earth satellites. Satellite dishes
`are commonly used for receiving television transmissions.
`
`saturated mode n. The state in which a switching device
`or amplifier is passing the maximum possible current. A
`device is in saturated mode when increasing the control
`signal does not result in output of additional current.
`
`saturation n. 1. In a switching device or amplifier, the
`fully conducting state. At saturation, the device is passing
`the maximum possible current. The term is most com-
`monly used with reference to circuits containing bipolar or
`field-effect transistors. 2. In color graphics and printing,
`the amount of color in a specified hue, often specified as a
`percentage. See also HSB.
`
`save vb. To write data (typically a file) to a storage
`medium, such as a disk or tape.
`
`SAX n. Acronym for Simple API for XML. An event-
`driven application program interface (API) used to inter-
`pret an XML file. SAX works with an XML parser, pro-
`viding an interface between the parser and an XML
`application. SAX is used as an alternative to the more
`complex object-based Document Object Model (DOM)
`interface. See also DOM.
`
`scalability n. A measure of how well a computer, service,
`or application can grow to meet increasing performance
`demands. For server clusters, it is the ability to incremen-
`tally add one or more systems to an existing cluster when
`the overall load of the cluster exceeds its capabilities. See
`also server cluster.
