Term	Term Definition	Options	Unit of Measure
Fixed film	Fixed Film Trickle Filtration is a process used to reduce Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and ammonia nitrogen levels. Trickling filters are composed of a bed of porous material (rocks, slag, plastic media, or any other medium with a high surface area and high permeability). Wastewater is distributed over the surface of the media, where it flows downward as a thin film over the media surface for aerobic treatment. The wastewater is then collected at the bottom through an under-drain system. The effluent is then settled by gravity to remove biological solids prior to being discharged.	View	None
Flake	Flake: Flake ice machines produce ice continuously, usually in a barrel-shaped evaporator. An auger inside the evaporator scrapes ice off the sides into a storage bin.	View	None
Flow Qualifier	Flow of water in a water treatment and distribution plant or wastewater treatment plant.	View	None
Flow Value	Flow value associated with the Flow Qualifier.	View	Mgal/day
Freezer	A cabinet designed as a unit for the freezing and storage of food at temperatures of 0 ¡F (-17.8 ¡C) or below, with the condensing unit and compressor built into the cabinet.	View	None
Front	Load laundry from the front of the machine.	View	None
Frost free	Frost free or a self-defrost freezer cycles off/on automatically to effect a discharge of ice and keeps the interior frost free.	View	None
Fry top griddle	A multi-purpose appliance used for surface cooking by direct contact with a heated plate, and may also function as a device for roasting, broiling, grilling or any combination of these methods. A fry-top range may have an oven located beneath the cooktop or shelving or may be mounted on top of a refrigerated base.	View	None
Full network connectivity	The ability of an Endpoint Device to maintain network presence while in Sleep Mode or another low power mode (LPM) of equal or lower power consumption and intelligently wake when further processing is required (including occasional processing required to maintain network presence). Presence of the Endpoint Device, its network services and applications is maintained even though the Endpoint Device is in a LPM. From the vantage point of the network, an End Point Device with full network connectivity that is in LPM is functionally equivalent to an idle End Point Device with respect to common applications and usage models. Full network connectivity in LPM is not limited to a specific set of protocols but can cover applications installed after initial installation. Also referred to as Ònetwork proxyÓ functionality and as described in the Ecma-393 standard. a) Network Proxy - Base Capability: To maintain addresses and presence on the network while in LPM, the system handles IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NS/ND. b) Network Proxy - Full Capability: While in LPM, the system supports Base Capability, c) Network Proxy - Remote Wake: While in LPM, the system is capable of remotely waking upon request from outside the local network. Includes Base Capability. d) Network Proxy - Service Discovery/Name Services: While in LPM, the system allows for advertising host services and network name. Includes Base Capability.	View	None
Full size	A combination oven capable of accommodating two 12 x 20 x 2 1Ú2-inch steam table pans per rack position, loaded side by side, from front-to-back or lengthwise. A convection oven that is capable of accommodating standard full-size sheet pans measuring 18 x 26 x 1-inch.	View	None
Full sized one door	A cabinet that has one door and is full-sized according to national standards.	View	None
Full sized two doors	A cabinet that has two doors and is full-sized according to national standards.	View	None
Full-spectrum audio amplifier	A Full-spectrum Audio Amplifier is an amplifier capable of full audible frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) output on all channels.	View	None
Fully fault tolerant server	A computer server that is designed with complete hardware redundancy, in which every computing component is replicated between two nodes running identical and concurrent workloads (i.e., if one node fails or needs repair, the second node can run the workload alone to avoid downtime). A fully fault tolerant server uses two systems to simultaneously and repetitively run a single workload for continuous availability in a mission critical application.	View	None
Glass door	Greater than, or equal to, 75% of the front surface area is glass.	View	None
Griddle	A commercial appliance designed for cooking food in oil or its own juices by direct contact with two hot surfaces where temperature is thermostatically controlled.	View	None
Grinder	An electric motor powers a grinder to prepare whole coffee beans for brewing.	View	None
Half or quarter size	A cabinet that is half-sized or quarter-sized relative to the standard residential refrigerator.	View	None
Half size	A combination oven capable of accommodating a single 12 x 20 x 2 1Ú2-inch steam table pan per rack position, loaded from front-to-back or lengthwise. A convection oven that is capable of accommodating half-size sheet pans measuring 18 x 13 x 1-inch.	View	None
Handset	A Telephone consisting of a handset, cradle, and battery, designed for use with a multi-handset Telephone system.	View	None
Hard drive	Hard Drive (HDD) is the primary computer storage device which reads and writes to one or more rotating magnetic disk platters.	View	None
Heated transparent merchandising cabinets	An appliance with a heated compartment that is designed to display and maintain the temperature of hot food that has been cooked in a separate appliance.	View	None
Heating element	An electric resistance heating element in the water reservoir is used to heat up water for brewing in drip coffee makers.	View	None
High definition multimedia interface	A High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data.	View	None
High definition resolution	High Definition Resolution (HD) is video output with resolution greater than 480 lines (480 i/p).	View	None
