A container which stores hydraulic power for release, in the form of a pressurized fluid (often suspended within a larger tank of fluid under pressure)
A derivative contract under which the seller commits to sell shares of an underlying security at a certain strike price, which the buyer is obligated to buy
A collective bet on successive events, with both stake and winnings being carried forward to accumulate progressively
The element which allows users to combine several elements For example, an accumulator could consist of all voluntary deductions, or all company deductions, enabling users to accumulate amounts It allows total flexibility for time periods and values accumulated This is primarily used in payroll, but is also useful in reporting
A special storage register associated with the arithmetic logic unit for storing the results os steps in a calculation or data transfer
an in-line vessel that stores fluid under pressure for later release; used in some larger hydraulic systems
A variable that holds a partial sum or product or the analog for another binary operation besides + or * (Chapter 9)
Storage chamber for gas pressure The accumulator contains pressurized gas, which can be fed into the item to which it is connected, such as a hydraulic or pneumatic system The energy produced by the release of the gas serves as a motive force in the system to do the work, such as moving the fluid or actuating a valve
Also known as A or AC, or by other names The register which holds the results of ALU operations
An interface REGISTER (memory) in the ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT (ALU), that stores interim arithmetic information for future processing The accumulator is interface between the ALU and other sections of the computer
A part of the arithmetic unit of a digital computer where numbers are totaled (i e accumulated) and temporarily stored
A component of a heat pump that stores liquid and keeps it from flooding the compressor The accumulator takes the strain off the compressor and improves the reliability of the system
A container in the air conditioning system used to remove moisture or water This helps to extend a/c compressor and other component life
{i} storage cell; one who accumulates; register, section of memory in the CPU that is used to temporarily store the results of recent calculations (Computers)
An apparatus by means of which energy or power can be stored, such as the cylinder or tank for storing water for hydraulic elevators, the secondary or storage battery used for accumulating the energy of electrical charges, etc
