An actuator is the mechanism by which a control system acts upon an environment. The control system can be simple (a fixed mechanical or electronic system), software-based (e.g. a printer driver, robot control system), a human, or any other input.
Nomos or Nomoi may refer to: from the Greek term for law (Î½ÏÎ¼Î¿Ï, nÃ³mos; pl. Î½ÏÎ¼Î¿Î¹, nÃ³moi). It is the origin of the suffix -onomy, as in astronomy, economy, or taxonomy.
NOI is a before-tax figure; it also excludes principal and interest payments on loans, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization. NOI appears on the propertyâs income and cash flow statements. If the total is negative, it is called a net operating loss (NOL). NOI is considered less vulnerable to manipulation than some other figures because it can only be increased by raising rents and associated fees or by decreasing reasonably necessary operating expenses. NOI is not the same as taxable income or cash flow.
