Fault-tolerant computer systems — are systems designed around the concepts of fault tolerance. In essence, they have to be able to keep working to a level of satisfaction in the presence of faults. Types of fault tolerance Most fault tolerant computer systems are designed to be… … Wikipedia
Fault tree analysis — (FTA) is a failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is analyzed using boolean logic to combine a series of lower level events. This analysis method is mainly used in the field of safety engineering to quantitatively determine the… … Wikipedia
Fault coverage — refers to the percentage of some type of fault that can be detected during the test of an electronic system, usually an integrated circuit. High fault coverage is particularly valuable during manufacturing test, and techniques such as Design For… … Wikipedia
Fault Lines (newsmagazine) — Fault Lines is a free newsmagazine published by the San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center. Fault Lines is produced and distributed by an all volunteer collective. The first issue was published in June 2004.External links*… … Wikipedia
Fault Tolerant Messaging — or Failover Abstraction is the ability to transparently “failover” a call or request from one service transport protocol to another upon failure with no changes to the functional code or business logic implementation. In elemenope, this ability… … Wikipedia
Fault (geology) — Part of a series on earthquakes Types Foreshock • Aftershock • Blind thrust Doublet • Interplate • … Wikipedia
Fault-tolerant system — This article contains specific implementations of fault tolerant systems. For general theory, see fault tolerant design. Fault tolerance or graceful degradation is the property that enables a system (often computer based) to continue operating… … Wikipedia
Fault injection — In software testing, fault injection is a technique for improving the coverage of a test by introducing faults in order to test code paths, in particular error handling code paths, that might otherwise rarely be followed. It is often used with… … Wikipedia
Fault-tolerant design — In engineering, Fault tolerant design, also known as fail safe design, is a design that enables a system to continue operation, possibly at a reduced level (also known as graceful degradation), rather than failing completely, when some part of… … Wikipedia
Fault indicator — A fault indicator is a device which provides visual indication of an electrical fault. They are used in electric power distribution networks as a means of automatically detecting and identifying faults. Basic principles During an electrical fault … Wikipedia
Fault current limiter — A Fault Current Limiter (FCL) is a device which limits the prospective fault current when a fault occurs (eg in a power transmission network). The term is generally applied to superconducting devices, whereas non superconducting devices (such as… … Wikipedia
