HTML file
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the authoring language used to create
documents on the World Wide Web. HTML defines the page structure, fonts, graphic
elements and hypertext links to other documents on the Web.
J
JPG file
Joint Photographic Experts Group Image File. A JPEG file is a compressed raster or
bitmapped graphic image. When a JPEG is created, a range of compression qualities may
be considered. JPEG compression is a lossy process, which means that you sacrifice
quality for file size the more you compress the image (the highest quality images results
in the largest file size). Whereas GIF images are limited to 256 colors (8-bit), JPEG images
may contain millions of colors (24-bit) as well as additional information including
PostScript clipping paths.
L
Lab-on-a-chip
The generic term for a microfluidic product, signifying a chemical process or material
movement taking place on a microchip. In contrast to analysis in a standard laboratory
that relies on human intervention at several stages to manipulate or observe samples
and record results, the self-contained lab-on-a-chip represents an almost hands-free
technology.
