A branch of Chemical Engineering that makes as much sense as a sequel to 'Titanic'. Also known as the 'Dark Arts of Chem Eng' or 'Absolute Bullshit', this course is hated by all who've encountered it.
Can only be learned from an evil professor through a series of lectures of confusing and often archaic material.

Process Control is a pathway to abilities some consider unnatural.
I felt a great disturbance in the input signal, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
*cough*, *cough-nerd-cough* Sorry for the nerdy in-joke, I'm an engineer.

Get the Process Control mug.When you were 18, the university recruiters told you chemical engineering had "so much variety" and "so many opportunities!" Now, you're graduating 4 years later and have realized that your only two options include oil refining (making gasoline from crude oil) and plastics (making polyethylene from ethylene).
This is probably okay, because whatever you suffer in breathing in toluene all day wearing dark coverall FRC's in 95°F weather, you'll make up for with a 6-digit salary right out of school. You also find yourself with a strangely intimate understanding of how everything around you works, like swimming pools, HVAC, cars, plumbing... everything.

Snooty grad-school materials researcher: "So what are you doing after you graduate?"
You: "I'll be working for a (Exxon/Valero/TOTAL/Phillips66/Shell/Citgo/Lyondell/BP) refinery."
SNGSMR: "Oh, so you're *just* a chemical process engineer?"
You: *grabbing another beer, talking to someone else, driving home in your brand new car...*

Cell is a microprocessor architecture jointly developed by a Sony, Toshiba, and IBM alliance known as STI.
Cell is a shorthand for Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, commonly abbreviated CBEA in full or Cell BE in part. Cell combines a general-purpose POWER-architecture core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation.
The major commercial application of Cell is in Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 game console which is slated to launch in November 2006. It will also become available in a blade configuration from Mercury Computer Systems. Toshiba has announced plans to incorporate Cell in high definition television sets. Exotic features such as the XDR memory subsystem and coherent EIB interconnect appear to position Cell for future applications in the supercomputing space to exploit the Cell processor's prowess in floating point kernels.
Up to Two-Billion calculations a second.
