High efficiency video processing Video decoding providing compression efficiency significantly higher than H.264/AVC, for example HEVC (H.265). View None
High performance computing system A computing system which is designed and optimized to execute highly parallel applications. HPC systems feature a large number of clustered homogeneous nodes often featuring high speed inter-processing interconnects as well as large memory capability and bandwidth. HPC systems may be purposely built, or assembled from more commonly available computer servers. View None
Home network interface An interface with external devices over a local area network (example: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 (Wireless-Fidelity or Wi- Fi), Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), HomePNA alliance (HPNA), IEEE 802.3, HomePlug AV) that is capable of transmitting video content.

Hot and cold Units that dispense both hot and cold water. Some units may also offer room-temperature water. View None
Hot gas Hot Gas Defrosting is a method that utilizes heat internally, from inside the pipes of the evaporator, usually the highly superheated vaporized refrigerant from the compressor. View None
Hot water sanitizing high temperature A machine that applies hot water to the surfaces of dishes to achieve sanitization. View None
Hybrid A Telephone or component of a Telephone system that has the ability to ultimately convert sound into both analog waveforms for transmission through the PSTN and Internet Protocol data packets for transmission through an Ethernet connection. View None
Hypervisor A type of hardware virtualization technique that enables multiple guest operating systems to run on a single host system at the same time. View None
Ice Machine

A factory-made assembly (not necessarily shipped in one package) consisting of a condensing unit and ice-making section operating as an integrated unit, with means for making and harvesting ice. It is an assembly that makes up to 4,000 lbs of ice per day at Standard Ratings Conditions, as defined in Section 5.2.1 of ARI Standard 810-2006, and may also include means for storing or dispensing ice, or both.

View None
Ice making head An ice making head (IMH) is a model with the ice-making mechanism and the condensing unit in a single package, but with a separate ice storage bin. View None
Implemented There is a nutrient removal process(es). This may include biological nitrification, biological denitrification, phosphorus removal, or recirculating sand filters. View None
Inductive coupling A system in which power is transferred between windings in two separate enclosures through magnetic induction rather than metal-to-metal contact. Inductive coupling is typically used in small household appliances, such as cordless toothbrushes and shavers. View None
Integrated access device A network device with a modem and one or more of the following functions: wired network routing, multi-port Ethernet switching and/or access point functionality. View None
IO device A device which provides data input and output capability between a computer server and other devices. An I/O device may be integral to the computer server motherboard or may be connected to the motherboard via expansion slots (e.g., PCI, PCIe). Examples of I/O devices include discrete Ethernet devices, InfiniBand devices, RAID/SAS controllers, and Fibre Channel devices. View None
IP video tuner A function by which a device can playback streaming digital video content packetized or downloaded over an IP network. View None
Laptop A laptop or notebook designed specifically for portability and to be operated for extended periods of time both with and without a direct connection to an ac mains power source. Laptops include an Integrated Display, a non-detachable, mechanical keyboard (using physical, moveable keys), and pointing device. View None
Large network equipment Network Equipment that is rack-mounted, intended for use in standard equipment racks, and/or contains more than eleven (11) ports for wired network. View None
Large scale server A resilient/scalable server which ships as a pre-integrated/pre-tested system housed in one or more full frames or racks and that includes a high connectivity I/O subsystem with a minimum of 32 dedicated I/O slots. View None
Large vat fryer A fryer with a vat that measures > 18 inches and < 24 inches wide, and a shortening capacity > 50 pounds. ASTM Standard F2144-09, Test Method for Performance of Large Open Vat Fryers (large vat fryers) View None
Laundry Load Type

Type of materials laundered.
