5. CMOS
   CMOS is a type of memory. CMOS stands for “complementary metal-oxide semiconductor�, describing the physical arrangement of cells within the memory device. On a standard PC motherboard, CMOS is used to hold data that is accessed by BIOS Setup. The CMOS memory is maintained when the system is off by a battery backup.

8. CMOS
   A type of chip able to operate with a tiny trickle of electricity from a battery. The term also refers to the contents of a CMOS chip on the motherboard, which holds information about the system and its peripherals even while the system is turned off. CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Substrate.

9. CMOS
   (Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) Camcorder and digital camera sensor technology which, like a CCD, converts light into electrical signals. The benefits of CMOS are less smear, wider dynamic range for superior contrast and lower power consumption for efficient battery operation.

12. CMOS
    (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) A sensor similar to CCD. CMOS semiconductors use two circuits, negative and positive polarity circuits. Because only one of the circuits can be on at once, CMOS chips are less energy consuming than other chips that utilize simply one type of transistor. This...
