The author has also worked out a complete programme on a programmable computer, which can either be used for rock-mass classification or for stability determination.

作者在可编程序计算器上编制了一个完整的程序，它既可用于岩体质量分类，又可用于判断采场稳定性。

Aimed at this problem, a method of serial communication loading on HAD which is controlled by PCC (programmable computer controller) was proposed, and a novel experimental system was designed.

针对这一问题，提出了利用可编程计算机控制器(PCC)控制磁滞测功机实现串行通信加载的方法，并设计了一新型负载特性模拟实验系统。

The work of others like the engineer Tommy Flowers, who helped build the first programmable computer at Bletchley, named Colossus, was also left unacknowledged.

Rather than discussing the already worn (and to me irrelevant) debate of digital book versus analog book, I talked about future technologies like brain computer interface, real-time simulation and programmable material, and how these will change the face of literature far beyond the Kindle, perhaps eventually eliminating text altogether.
