单词 interface
释义
interface

Chemical Engineering
  • 1. The boundary between two phases such as two immiscible liquids, a liquid and vapour or gas, a gas and a solid, or a gas and a vapour or gas. The interfacial area is the area of the boundary between the two phases. The interfacial tension is the surface tension at the surfaces between two phases.

    2. The point of interaction or communication between a computer and some other device. A human–machine interface is the point of interaction by a process operator to control a process by receiving real-time data and making manual adjustments to pumps and valves.


Computer
  • 1. A common boundary between two systems, devices, or programs.

    2. The signal connection and associated control circuits that are used to connect devices. See also standard interface.

    3. Specification of the communication between two program units. For example, if a procedure does not refer to nonlocal variables, its interface is defined by the parameter list. Careful definition of interfaces makes it possible to use a program unit without knowledge of its internal working, and is vital to the design of a system that is to be implemented by a team of programmers. The concept is an important feature of Ada; in Ada a package is defined in two parts, the interface and the body. The interface specifies exactly what identifiers are visible outside the package, and is sufficient to permit separate compilation of program units that use the package. Similar facilities are found in most modern programming languages and they are essential features of object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java.

    4. To provide an interface.

    5. To interact.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • The electronic circuitry used to connect two or more devices, usually required to compensate for differences in speed, signal levels, and/or codes between the connecting devices. The devices are generally computer components or systems.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • 1. A device which connects two machines and allows them to communicate with one another. The term is used most commonly in respect of equipment linked to a computer.

    2. The boundary between two substances that have different properties. See also horizon.


Geography
  • The zone of interaction between two systems or processes. Estuaries are interfaces between fluvial and marine systems (Bate et al. (2002) Water SA 28, 3).
