UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is a third-generation cellular standard based on the GSM standard and developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that maintains power in the event of a failure. A UPS commonly includes a battery that is kept charged and ready. When power fails, the battery supplies power, as long as it lasts. When the battery fails,

An uninterruptible power supply or uninterruptible power source (UPS) is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.

A unique identification technique

A factory-programming service for 1-Wire EPROM chips with customer-specified data. Service provides one serialization file for customers to create identifiers in silicon.

A device which provides frequency conversion to a higher frequency, e.g., in digital broadcast-satellite applications.
