(bouvier) | CORRECTION,punishment. Chastisement by one having authority of a person who
has committed some offence, for the purpose of bringing him to legal

2. It is chiefly exercised in a parental manner, by parents, or those
who are placed in loco parentis. A parent may therefore justify the
correction of the child either corporally or by confinement; and a
schoolmaster, under whose care and instruction a parent has placed his
child, may equally justify similar correction; but the correction in both,
cases must be moderate, and in proper manner. Com. Dig. Pleader, 3 M. 19;
Hawk. c. 60, s. 23, and c. 62, s. 2 c. 29, s. 5.

)lass. 365; 1 Bay, 3; Bee, 161; 1 Pet. Adm. Dec. 168; Molloy, 209; 1 Ware's

board vessels of commerce was abolished.
6. Any excess of correction by the parent, master, officer, or captain,
may render the party guilty of an assault and battery, and liable to all its

ECC
EDAC
(EDAC, or "error checking and
correction", ECC) A collection of methods to detect errors in
transmitted or stored data and to correct them. This is done
in many ways, all of them involving some form of coding. The
simplest form of error detection is a single added {parity
bit} or a cyclic redundancy check. Multiple parity bits can
not only detect that an error has occurred, but also which
bits have been inverted, and should therefore be re-inverted
to restore the original data. The more extra bits are added,
the greater the chance that multiple errors will be detectable
and correctable.
Several codes can perform Single Error Correction, Double
Error Detection (SECDEC). One of the most commonly used is
the Hamming code.
At the other technological extreme, cuniform texts from about
1500 B.C. which recorded the dates when Venus was visible,
were examined on the basis of contained redundancies (the
dates of appearance and disappearance were suplemented by the
length of time of visibility) and "the worst data set ever
seen" by [Huber, Zurich] was corrected.
RAM which includes EDAC circuits is known as {error
correcting memory} (ECM).

FEC
(FEC) A class of methods for controling errors in

along with the data, which can be used by the receiver to
check and correct the data.

communication - see error correcting memory and {error

gamma correction
(foldoc) | gamma correction
Adjustments applied during the display of a digital
representation of colour on a screen in order to compensate
for the fact that the Cathode Ray Tubes used in computer
monitors (and televisions) produce a light intensity which
is not proportional to the input voltage. The light
intensity is actually proportional to the input voltage raised
to the inverse power of some constant, called gamma. Its
value varies from one display to another, but is usually
around 2.5.
Because it is more intuitive for the colour components (red,
green and blue) to be varied linearly in the computer, the
actual voltages sent to the monitor by the display hardware
must be adjusted in order to make the colour component
intensity on the screen proportional to the value stored in
the computer's display memory. This process is most easily
achieved by a dedicated module in the display hardware which
simply scales the outputs of the display memory before
sending them to the digital-to-analogue converters.
More expensive graphics cards and workstations
(particularly those used for CAD applications) will have a
gamma correction facility.
In combination with the "white-point" gamma correction is
used to achieve precise colour matching.

(http://cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/rwb/www/gamma.html)}.
