3. pertaining to or using a system of transmission of

Cellular telephones are typically small and battery

Cellular theory, or Cell theory (Biol.), a theory,
according to which the essential element of every tissue,
either vegetable or animal, is a cell; the whole series of
cells having been formed from the development of the germ

acellular slime mold
(gcide) | slime mold \slime mold\, slime mould \slime mould\n.
1. An unusual fungus-like protist of the phylum Myxomycota or
the class Myxomycetes, having a stage of growth in which
it comprises a naked noncellular multinucleate mass of
creeping protoplasm having characteristics of both plants
and animals; it also has a propagative phase in which it
develops fruiting bodies bearing spores; it is sometimes
classified as a protist. It is called also {acellular
slime mold}. [WordNet 1.5 +PJC]
2. Any of several remarkable amoebalike organisms of the
phylum Acrasiomycota, mostly terrestrial, having a
fruiting phase resembling that of the {acellular slime
molds}, but being cellular and nucleate throughout their
life cycle; called also cellular slime mold. The most
studied species is Dictyostelium discoideum. In their
feeding phase, they live like amoebae as individual cells,
engulfing bacteria as a prime food source. When the food
source diminishes, they begin to aggregate, swarming
together to form clumps which may move toward heat and
light, so as to reach the surface of the ground; they then
differentiate into a form with spores contained within a
sporangium resting on a stalk. When the spores are carried
to another location with adequate food supplies, the
spores may germinate to resume the life cycle. The phase
of aggregation appears to be initiated by release of
cyclic AMP, serving as a signal between the individual
cells. The formation of the fruiting body has some
similarities to differentiation in multicellular
organisms, but the mechanisms are still under study. Some
biologists object to the classification of Dictyostelium
as a slime mold, as it is neither a mold nor slimy.

Bryophita or Cellular Acrogens
(gcide) | Cryptogamia \Cryp`to*ga"mi*a\ (kr?p`t?-g?"m?-?), n.; pl.
Cryptogami[ae] (-?). [NL., fr. Gr. krypto`s hidden, secret
+ ga`mos marriage.] (Bot.)
The series or division of flowerless plants, or those never
having true stamens and pistils, but propagated by spores of
various kinds.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The subdivisions have been variously arranged. The
following arrangement recognizes four classes: -- I.
{Pteridophyta, or Vascular Acrogens.} These include
Ferns, Equiseta or Scouring rushes, Lycopodiace[ae]
or Club mosses, Selaginelle[ae], and several other
smaller orders. Here belonged also the extinct coal
plants called Lepidodendron, Sigillaria, and
Calamites. II. {Bryophita, or Cellular Acrogens}.
These include Musci, or Mosses, Hepatic[ae], or
Scale mosses and Liverworts, and possibly
Charace[ae], the Stoneworts. III. {Alg[ae]}, which
are divided into Floride[ae], the Red Seaweeds, and
the orders Dictyote[ae], Oospore[ae],
Zoospore[ae], Conjugat[ae], Diatomace[ae], and
Cryptophyce[ae]. IV. {Fungi}. The molds, mildews,
mushrooms, puffballs, etc., which are variously grouped
into several subclasses and many orders. The Lichenes
or Lichens are now considered to be of a mixed nature,
each plant partly a Fungus and partly an Alga.

cellular automata
(foldoc) | cellular automaton
cellular automata
(CA, plural "- automata") A regular
spatial lattice of "cells", each of which can have any one of
a finite number of states. The state of all cells in the
lattice are updated simultaneously and the state of the entire
lattice advances in discrete time steps. The state of each
cell in the lattice is updated according to a local rule which
may depend on the state of the cell and its neighbors at the
previous time step.
Each cell in a cellular automaton could be considered to be a
finite state machine which takes its neighbours' states as
input and outputs its own state.
The best known example is J.H. Conway's game of Life.

cellular multiprocessing
(foldoc) | cellular multiprocessing
(CMP) The partitioning of
processors into separate computing environments running
different operating systems.
The term cellular multiprocessing appears to have been coined
by Unisys, who are developing a system where computers
communicate as clustered machines through a high speed bus,
rather than through communication protocols such as
TCP/IP.
The Unisys system is based on Intel processors, initially
the Pentium II Xeon and moving on to the 64-bit Merced
processors later in 1999. It will be scalable from four up to
32 processors, which can be clustered or partitioned in
various ways. For example a sixteen processor system could be
configured as four Windows NT systems (each functioning as a
four-processor symmetric multiprocessing system), or an
8-way NT and 8-way Unix system.
Supported operating systems will be Windows NT, SCO's
Unixware 7.0, Unisys' SVR4 Unix and possibly the OS2200
and MCP-AS mainframe operating systems (with the assistance
of Unisys' own dedicated chipset).

(CNN) The CNN Universal Machine is a low cost,
low power, extremely high speed supercomputer on a chip. It
is at least 1000 times faster than equivalent DSP solutions
of many complex image processing tasks. It is a stored
program supercomputer where a complex sequence of image
processing algorithms is programmed and downloaded into the
chip, just like any digital computer. Because the entire
computer is integrated into a chip, no signal leaves the chip
until the image processing task is completed.
Although the CNN universal chip is based on analogue and logic
operating principles, it has an on-chip analog-to-digital
input-output interface so that at the system design and
application perspective, it can be used as a digital
component, just like a DSP. In particular, a development
system is available for rapid design and prototyping.
Moreover, a compiler, an operating system, and a
user-friendly CNN high-level language, like the C
language, have been developed which makes it easy to implement
any image processing algorithm.
