                    in IRL.

                   Jini  
                    | 
                  
                   Jini network technology provides simple mechanisms which 
                    enable devices to plug together to form an impromptu community 
                    -- a community put together without any planning, installation, 
                    or human intervention. Each device provides services that 
                    other devices in the community may use. These devices provide 
                    their own interfaces, which ensures reliability and compatibility. 
                   
                  Jini technology uses a lookup service with which devices 
                    and services register. When a device plugs in, it goes through 
                    an add-in protocol, called discovery and join-in. The device 
                    first locates the lookup service (discovery) and then uploads 
                    an object that implements all of its services' interfaces 
                    (join).  
                  To use a service, a person or a program locates it using 
                    the lookup service. The service's object is copied from the 
                    lookup service to the requesting device where it will be used. 
                    The lookup service acts as an intermediary to connect a client 
                    looking for a service with that service. Once the connection 
                    is made, the lookup service is not I

                   Jitter  
                    | 
                  
                   A type of analog communication line distortion caused by 
                    abrupt, spurious signal variation from a reference timing 
                    position, and capable of causing data transmission errors, 
                    particularly at high speeds. The variation can be in amplitude, 
                    time, frequency, or phase.

                    | 
                  
                   The international consortium of hardware, software, and publishing 
                    interests who, under the auspices of the ISO, has defined 
                    a universal standard for digital compression and decompression 
                    of still images for use in computer systems (commonly called 
                    "JPEG" or "JPEG-Standard") JPEG compresses at about a 20:1 
                    ratio before visible image degradation occurs.

                   Acronym for Joint Test Action Group. Often referred to as 
                    IEEE standard 1149.1. IEEE committee focused on chip interface 
                    for testing and programming. Xilinx is a member of this committee.
