Something, such as a muscle, disease, or physiological process, that neutralizes or impedes the action or effect of another. antagonist in Science Expand. A muscle that opposes the action of another muscle, as by relaxing while the other one contracts, thereby producing smooth, coordinated movement. A chemical substance, such as a drug, that interferes with the physiological action of another substance, especially by combining with and blocking its nerve receptor.
ThatÃ¢â¬â¢s where Electronic Data Processing (EDP) comes into play. EDP is a generic term describing a system of hardware, software, procedures, and people working together to sort and process data into useful forms. This involves much more than simply gathering information Ã¢â¬â it involves applying intelligent analysis and manipulation to data to put it to work.
Part of the Printers glossary: EPP/ECP (Enhanced Parallel Port/Enhanced Capability Port) is a standard signaling method for bi-directional parallel communication between a computer and peripheral devices that offers the potential for much higher rates of data transfer than the original parallel signaling methods.EPP is for non-printer peripherals.ECP is for printers and scanners. EPP/ECP are part of IEEE Standard 1284, which also specifies support for current signaling methods (including Centronics, the de facto standard for printer communication) so that both old and new peripherals can be accommodated.PP is for non-printer peripherals.
