Abstract: This metric is the ratio of the maintenance personnel who are actively doing the maintenance work (direct) to the maintenance personnel supporting the maintenance work (indirect). Direct personnel include those workers in the maintenance department that repair, maintain, modify or calibrate equipment.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a protocol designed for recording and playing back music on digital synthesizers that is supported by many makes of personal computer sound cards. Originally intended to control one keyboard from another, it was quickly adopted for the personal computer.
Standard MIDI file format, updated http://www.csw2.co.uk/tech/midi2.htm3 of 23 10/22/2003 10:35 AM To any file system, a MIDI File is simply a series of 8-bit bytes. On the Macintosh, this byte stream is storedin the data fork of a file (with file type 'MIDI'), or on the Clipboard (with data type 'MIDI'). Most othercomputers store 8-bit byte streams in files. 1.3 - Chunks MIDI Files are made up of-chunks-. Each chunk has a 4-character type and a 32-bit length, which is thenumber of bytes in the chunk. This structure allows future chunk types to be designed which may be easily beignored if encountered by a program written before the chunk type is introduced.
