Armored Personnel Carrier aperture grille: A CRT technology that fosters a bright display (compared to the competing shadow mask technology) The aperture grille itself is a collection of fine metal strips that stretch vertically from the top of the screen to the bottom The monitor's electron beam is shot through the grille, which positions the beam so that it correctly excites the red, green, and blue phosphor dots that ultimately comprise the picture you see on the screen Because an aperture grille allows more electrons to pass through than a shadow mask, it tends to foster a more brilliant image Currently, Sony and Mitsubishi manufacture all the aperture-grille CRTs used by the world's many monitor companies

Automatic Power Control - also known as Thermal Calibration This is a technique that ensures that disk and optical drives operate correctly (particularly writing on-track) if the ambient temperature changes In normal computer applications these interruptions, which can be as long as 1 5 seconds, have no effect However in real time applications or writing from hard disk to CD-R, data can be lost (buffer over/under-runs), unless the device or applications are able to buffer enough information during an APC Drives do have settings where APC is interruptible (called AV - Audio/Video - disk drives or secondary mode APC on opticals) to ensure that real time data transfers continues However if an APC is not executed in an appropriate timescale to match temperature changes then the drive will end up writing garbage
