Force-System Resultants and Equilibrium
Published in Richard C. Dorf, The Engineering Handbook, 2018
The file system is the most used function of operating systems for nonprogramming users. A file is a logical storage unit of data or code separated from its physical implementation and location. Types of files can be text, source code, executable code, object code, word processor formatted, or system library code. The attributes of files can be identified by name, type, location (path of directory), size, date/time, user ID, and access control information. Logical file structures can be classified as sequential and random files. The former are files that organize information as a list of ordered records; while the latter are files with fixed-length logical records accessible by block number.

To give a feeling of the different choices that can be made when computing the layout of a graph, we will illustrate these choices for the problem of understanding the structure of a file hierarchy. The example we consider is the distribution of the open-source FFmpeg software video codec [Bellard 06]. This distribution contains 785 files in 42 folders nested five levels deep. Several file types are included: source code, video, audio, binary (libraries and object code), images, hypertext, and plain-text documentation.
MIDI: connecting instruments together
Published in Kirk Ross, Hunt Andy, Digital Sound Processing for Music and Multimedia, 2013
A ‘file’ is a package of data that is typically stored on a computer disk. Most computer programs save their data in files. A standard MIDI file (SMF) is a file which stores sequences of MIDI data. Whilst a MIDI cable transmits messages in real time, a SMF stores that data as a series of message events, each with its own time-stamp. SMFs can be stored on computer disk (and thus moved between computers), or sent across a computer network.

Attached files. The field enables attaching extra files in order to complement the request description. The attached files are used for a detailed description that cannot be provided in the description field. This field is not mandatory, but if necessary, it can contain a list of files that are associated to the request. The files can contain data in various formats (text, images, audio, and video).
