1. Ascent Propulsion System. Pronounced "apps". The rocket engine in the upper part of the lunar module. It provides the thrust to lift the lunar module ascent stage from the lunar surface to rendezvous with the command module. 2. Auxiliary Propulsion System. A motor on the S-IVB stage.

Advanced planning system. A software package that has been designed to work in conjunction with enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management systems to optimise the flow of materials through the supply chain. The software allows organisations to model their entire supply chain to give managers a single view of the supply chain. It is designed specifically for decision making, recognising that forecasts are inherently incorrect. It enables them to plan long term strategic resources and evaluate the effect of unforeseen changes in consumer demand, allowing them to respond rapidly to consumer demand.

Adult Protective Services. APS investigates and evaluates abuse, neglect or exploitation of dependent and elderly adults, including reporting, needs assessment, crisis intervention, emergency shelter, adult respite care and referral services.

Advanced Photo System. Developed together by five companies, this film system is distinguished by simple operation, a new picture format (16 x 30 mm) as well as a choice of three picture formats. Additional information (such as exposure, aperture and date) can be recorded on the mag-netic strip of the APS film. However, APS is not digital photography.

Advanced Photo System. This is a camera system that originated in 1996. The system introduced a new size of film and a new way of photofinishing however, only APS cameras could be used with the film.

consumer photography developed by Kodak and four other companies - Canon, Fuji, Minolta and Nikon . It is based on a new film format and photofinishing technologies.

APS is a recent development and offers more variety in the type of shots you can take. APS cameras are usually smaller than their 35mm counterparts and are much easier to load film into.

Automatic Protection Switching. SONET switching mechanism that routes traffic from working lines to protect lines in case a line card failure or fiber cut occurs.

APS stands for Advanced Photo System. It is a new film system for consumer photography that uses a unique format and photofinishing techniques.

Advanced Photo System. Kodak's version of photography for dummies. You need a special camera that takes special film. The film is in a special cartridge that you just slide in the bottom of the camera and the camera loads it automatically. For more information on Kodak's APS visit Kodak.

Advanced Photo System. An exciting film and camera technology for point-and-shoot cameras. APS offers a choice of three print formats (such as panorama), improved photofinishing and many storage and reprinting conveniences.

Active Pixel Sensors often fabricated using Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. APS enables individual pixels on the sensors to be programmed, making it easier to read a variety of different symbologies from the same device.

Active Protection System; a system that automatically intercepts threats that attack the protected object in the immediate vicinity of the object. Essentially the APS is a super-close-in system of "anti-missile defense" that creates an "active" zone of protection at a safe distance around the objects. ( See Arena APS)

Advanced Photo System. A film technology recently developed by Kodak that facilitates film loading. Users also get a card that shows all the frames, plus other advantages. Film size is smaller than 35mm.

Abbreviation for "Advanced Photo System", a format introduced in 1996 with the objective to simplify the operation of cameras and to eliminate the small picture format in the short to long term. The core element of the APS system is APS film. It is smaller (intended to permit the construction of smaller cameras), protects the negative from dust and scratches and allows the taking of three picture formats (C for Classic: 17 x 25,5 mm; H for HDTV: 17 x 30 mm; P for Panorama: 12 x 30 mm).

ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM. A camera system brought forth in 1996 as a new foolproof photography system for weekend snapshooters and people who had not yet ventured into photography. It introduced a new film size (requiring new camera designs to use it) and a new means of photofinishing.

A binary version of the current resource file that is created by the Microsoft Visual C++ and used for quick loading of resources. Microsoft Visual C++ gives this file an .APS filename extension.

APS is done with the visualization of a dynamic model of the operational system. This dynamic model-based approach is more effective than mathematical modeling because it embeds a complete model of the causal constraints in the system.

(Advanced Photo System) A system developed jointly by five companies for 35 mm photography. APS significantly simplifies the camera handling through a new type of film system. Additional information, like exposure, aperture, date and time can be recorded on APS film. It is possible to select one out of three picture formats. APS, however, is not digital photography.

Advanced Photon Source, near Chicago in the USA

(Advanced Photo System) APS was devised by a group of five manufactures: Canon, Fuji, Kodak, Minolta and Nikon as a 'breakthrough in camera and film technology' and created a new generation of 'point-and-shoot' cameras. Now, with hindsight, regarded as an interim consumer product which just filled a gap until the more innovative compact digital cameras became affordable. The film size is smaller than 35mm.

is an abbreviation for Advanced Photo System. It is a film cartridge system that magnetically records all picture data for each frame of film. This data is then used by the photo finisher to provide you with better pictures and new services that can't be found with traditional film cameras.

Advanced Planning System. Solution for dynamic supply chain management. Supports the processes involved in supply chain planning (SCP), for example, planning, optimization and scheduling for controlling the supply chain beyond company boundaries. Advanced planning is addressed by the component SAP Advanced Planner & Optimizer (APO), which is part of mySAP SCM.

Advanced Planning Systems or Advanced Planning and Scheduling - essentially the same as a Supply Chain Planning (SCP) product. The age of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) product has dawned because computing power has advanced to the stage that we can now economically mathematically model the real world where the supply of components and products is constrained by complex constraints such as supplier capacity, sequences, profiles and relationships.

Advanced planning system. Syn: advanced planning and scheduling.

Abbreviation for advanced planning and scheduling, abbreviation for advanced planning system.

A film system developed by Kodak and used by other manufacturers/ APS film is 24 mm wide and has three user-selectable image formats: H for HDTV with a 9:16 aspect ratio, C for Classic with a 2:3 ratio and P for Panoramic, with a 1:3 ratio APS cameras also let the user imprint magnetic information onto the back of the film to provide processing instructions and other information to the processing lab.
