3.3 Operations on Processes 3.3.1 Process Creation. Processes may create other processes through appropriate system calls, such as fork or spawn. The process which does the creating is termed the parent of the other process, which is termed its child. Each process is given an integer identifier, termed its process identifier, or PID. The parent PID ( PPID ) is also stored for each process.
Definition - What does Electronic Ink (E Ink) mean? Electronic Ink (E Ink) is a proprietary electrophoretic technology and electronic paper display (EPD) patented by E Ink Corporation. E Ink technology is used in mobile devices, such as e-readers, mobile devices, smartphones, smart cards and watches. E Ink is primarily used in digital e-readers. Most digital books use grayscale and rarely use color.
Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks.
