Frame (GUI)

A frame, or group box, is a type of box within which a collection of graphical control elements can be grouped as a way to show relationships visually, either because the items are functionally related (such as a radio button), or because they apply to related objects.

In HTML (where frame has another meaning, referring to an individually scrollable portion of a page), this kind of grouping box is called a fieldset after the HTML element of the same name.

In the image to the right, the top frame has no title. The two frames below have titles, and a radio button outside them, presumably to select one or the other. The lower of the two boxes is dimmed, or disabled, indicating its widgets cannot be selected. Note that each of the frames (as well as the area outside of the frames) has a checked radio button, while normally only one of the buttons can be selected.

Note that any widget, including nested frames, can be placed inside of a frame, not merely radio buttons.

Frame (dance)

Frame is the body shape maintained by dancers during partner dancing. Specifically, frame refers to the shape of the upper body of the dancers relative to the rest of the dancer's body and the body of the dancer's partner.

The frame provides connection between the dance partners, making leading and following possible. A frame is a stable structural combination of both bodies maintained through the dancers' arms and/or legs, and allows the leader to transmit body movement to the follower, and for the follower to suggest ideas to the leader.

Connection occurs in both open and closed dance positions (also called "open frame" and "closed frame"). It is essential in most partner dances, but especially so in modern ballroom dance.

The required frame varies according to the dance—in street Latin style dances such as salsa, arms are held more loosely.

Locomotive frame

A locomotive frame is the structure that forms the backbone of the railway locomotive, giving it strength and supporting the superstructure elements such as a cab, boiler or bodywork. The vast majority of locomotives have had a frame structure of some kind. The frame may in turn be supported by axles directly attached to it, or it may be mounted on bogies (UK) / trucks (US), or a combination of the two. The bogies in turn will have frames of their own.

Types of frame

Three main types of frame on steam locomotives may be distinguished:

Plate frames

These used steel plates about 1–2 in (25.4–50.8 mm) thick. They were mainly used in Britain and continental Europe. On most locomotives the frames would be situated within the driving wheels ("inside frames"), but some classes of early steam locomotive and diesel shunters were constructed with "outside frames". Some early designs were double framed where the frame consisted of plates both inside and outside the driving wheels. Others were sandwich frames where the frame was constructed of wood sandwiched between two metal plates.

NEM (cryptocurrency)

NEM is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency launched on March 31, 2015 and written in Java. NEM has a stated goal of a wide distribution model and has introduced new features in blockchain technology in its proof-of-importance (POI) algorithm. NEM also features an integrated P2P secure, multisignature accounts and encrypted messaging system and an Eigentrust++ reputation system. NEM technology is used in the private blockchain Mijin being tested by financial institutions and private companies in Japan.

History

NEM was started by a Bitcoin Talk forum user called UtopianFuture after having been inspired by Nxt and wanted to improve upon it. Starting on January 19th, 2014, an open call for participation began on bitcointalk.org. The goal was to create a community-oriented cryptocurrency from the ground up.

Development

NEM has gone through extensive open alpha testing starting June 25, 2014, followed by lengthy and comprehensive beta testing starting on October 20, 2014.
