Static (1985 film)

Static (1985) is Mark Romanek's independent comedy-drama debut, co-written with star Keith Gordon, about Ernie Blick, who builds a TV said to show heaven. Premiered at Chicago 1985, US release 1986; Romanek later disowned it.

Static (DC Comics)

Static (Virgil Hawkins) is a Milestone/DC superhero, first appearing in Static #1 (1993), with electromagnetic powers from Dakota's Big Bang; star of Static Shock (2000–2004) and later a Teen Titan.

Static Age

Static Age is the Misfits' debut album, recorded January–February 1978 in New York, shelved after label rejections, and released in 1996 on the box set and standalone in 1997 on Caroline Records; distinct from the Burlington, Vermont post-punk band The Static Age.

Static application security testing

Static application security testing (SAST) is a white-box testing method that analyzes source code, bytecode, or binaries without executing them to find security vulnerabilities early in development.

Static code analysis

Static code analysis examines a program's source code without executing it, to detect bugs, security vulnerabilities, and quality issues, ranging from linters to formal verifiers that prove properties.

Static electricity

Static electricity, or static charge, is an imbalance of electric charge on a material's surface, built up when two surfaces touch and separate, producing sparks, shocks, and lightning.

Static forces and virtual-particle exchange

In quantum field theory, a static force between particles can be described as the exchange of a virtual particle, most familiarly a virtual photon; the picture comes from perturbation theory and Feynman diagrams.

Static friction

Static friction is the contact force resisting sliding between solid objects at rest relative to each other; it adjusts to match applied force up to a maximum, µsN.

Static induction thyristor

The static induction thyristor (SIThy, also written SITH, Japanese 静電誘導サイリスタ) is a four-layer power semiconductor switch with gate-controlled turn-off, invented by Jun-ichi Nishizawa in 1975 and used in pulsed power and accelerator supplies.

Static induction transistor

The static induction transistor (SIT) is a voltage-controlled power field-effect transistor invented by Jun-ichi Nishizawa in 1950, known for high-power, high-frequency operation and triode-like behavior.

Static light scattering

Static light scattering (SLS), also called differential light scattering, is an optical technique that measures laser light scattered by particles in solution to determine molar mass and radius of gyration.

Static load test

A static load test is a structural engineering test that applies a gradually increasing, non-varying load to a foundation element to measure its deformation, capacity, and stiffness.

Static Major

Static Major (Stephen Ellis Garrett, 1974-2008) was a Louisville-born R&B singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer of Playa who wrote Ginuwine's "Pony" and Aaliyah's "Try Again" and won a posthumous Best Rap Song Grammy for Lil Wayne's "Lollipop".

Static perimetry

Static perimetry, also known as standard automated perimetry, is an ophthalmic test measuring visual field sensitivity at fixed grid locations, the clinical standard for glaucoma since the 1980s.

Static Poems

Static Poems (Statische Gedichte) is a 1948 poetry collection by German poet and physician Gottfried Benn that restored him to German literature after his wartime publishing ban.

Static posturography

Static posturography, also called stabilometry, is a noninvasive test that measures body sway during quiet standing on a force platform, used to assess balance in vestibular and neurological disorders.

Static pressure

Static pressure is the pressure in a fluid at rest, equal in all directions at any point, increasing with depth by the hydrostatic equation p = p0 + ρgh.

Static program analysis

Static program analysis is the automatic analysis of program code without execution, proving properties true for all possible executions; its techniques include data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, and symbolic execution.

Static random-access memory

Static random-access memory (SRAM) is a fast, volatile semiconductor memory that holds each bit in a latching circuit and needs no refresh, used mainly as cache.

Static routing

Static routing is a method of configuring IP routers in which an administrator manually defines the next hop for a destination instead of using a dynamic routing protocol.

Static Shock

Static Shock is the 2000-2004 Kids' WB animated series about Virgil Hawkins, a Black teen who gains electromagnetic powers, adapted from Milestone Media's Static by Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Derek Dingle, and Michael Davis; 52 episodes, four seasons, noted for social commentary.
