Hoosier cabinets were in vogue from about 1900 to about 1920, but right about that time homes began to include built-in countertops and cabinets, so there was much less of a need for the Hoosier. (The Hoosier got its name, incidentally, from the Indiana Hoosier Manufacturing Company, which was among the first to make these cabinets.) If you don't have a lot of storage in your kitchen, or if you love vintage and antique furniture, you may still have one of these.
SDET is a benchmark used in the systems software research community for measuring the throughput of a multi-user computer operating system. Its name stands for SPEC Software Development Environment Throughput (SDET), and is packaged along with Kenbus in the SPEC SDM91 benchmark. A more modern benchmark that is related to SDET is the reaim package, which is itself an up-to-date implementation of the venerable AIM Multiuser Benchmark.
Short for Synchronous Optical Network, a standard for connecting fiber-optic transmission systems. SONET was proposed by Bellcore in the middle 1980s and is now an ANSI standard. SONET defines interface standards at the physical layer of the OSI seven-layer model.The standard defines a hierarchy of interface rates that allow data streams at different rates to be multiplexed.SONET establishes Optical Carrier (OC) levels from 51.8 Mbps (OC-1) to 9.95 Gbps (OC-192).he standard defines a hierarchy of interface rates that allow data streams at different rates to be multiplexed.
