Component Definition and 568 Threads

Component-based software engineering (CBSE), also called components-based development (CBD), is a branch of software engineering that emphasizes the separation of concerns with respect to the wide-ranging functionality available throughout a given software system. It is a reuse-based approach to defining, implementing and composing loosely coupled independent components into systems. This practice aims to bring about an equally wide-ranging degree of benefits in both the short-term and the long-term for the software itself and for organizations that sponsor such software.
Software engineering practitioners regard components as part of the starting platform for service-orientation. Components play this role, for example, in web services, and more recently, in service-oriented architectures (SOA), whereby a component is converted by the web service into a service and subsequently inherits further characteristics beyond that of an ordinary component.
Components can produce or consume events and can be used for event-driven architectures (EDA).

    Identifying this unknown component

    I opened my old VCR and on one of the circuits was a component which I couldn't recognize. I am usually quite good at identifying circuit components, by the abbreviations or their symbol. But this one just left me dumb founded. Its letter on the board was FL, I checked on various datasheets...

    Collision -- why there is no parallel component?

    say that a particle collides elastically with a wall 60 degrees from the wall's normal. the force from the wall is along the wall's normal. My questions is why there is no parallel component to the force from the wall since the particles velocity had a parallel component.
