Statement (computer science)
In computer science, a statement, also called a program statement, is a fragment of a program executed for its effect rather than to produce a value.
Staten Island Ferry
The Staten Island Ferry is a free passenger ferry between Staten Island and Lower Manhattan, run by New York City since 1905, carrying 16 million riders a year.
Staten Island Railway
The Staten Island Railway, also known as Staten Island Rapid Transit, is the only rapid transit line on Staten Island, running 24/7 between St. George and Tottenville.
Statens vegvesen
Statens vegvesen (Norwegian Public Roads Administration, NPRA) is the Norwegian government agency responsible for national and European roads, traffic safety, and driver and vehicle licensing.
Statera Energy
Statera Energy is a London-headquartered UK company developing grid-scale battery storage, flexible generation, pumped hydro, and green hydrogen, founded in 2015 and owned by EQT Infrastructure since 2024.
Statfjord oil field
Statfjord is an oil and gas field in the northern North Sea, straddling the Norway–UK sector border, discovered by Mobil in 1974 and producing since November 1979.
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 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 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 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 single assignment form
Static single assignment form (SSA) is a compiler intermediate representation in which every variable is assigned exactly once, with phi functions handling control flow merges.
Static site generation
Static site generation (SSG) is a web development technique where a site's HTML is built in advance, then served from a CDN to every visitor.
Static synchronous compensator
A static synchronous compensator, also written static synchronous condenser, is a shunt FACTS device that supplies or absorbs reactive power on an AC grid to regulate voltage.
Static synchronous series compensator
The static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is a converter-based FACTS device that injects a controllable voltage in quadrature with line current, controlling power flow like a series capacitor or reactor.
Static timing analysis
Static timing analysis (STA) validates the timing of a digital integrated circuit by checking all constrained signal paths for violations without simulating input vectors, making it faster and more thorough than dynamic simulation.
Static transfer switch
A static transfer switch is a solid-state device that switches critical loads between two AC power sources within milliseconds, used mainly in data centers and hospitals.
Static typing
Static typing is the property of a programming language whose type checker runs before execution, catching type errors in Java, C, and Haskell before the program runs.
Static VAR compensator
A static VAR compensator (SVC) is a shunt-connected power-electronic device regulating voltage on AC networks through thyristor-controlled reactive compensation, a standard FACTS controller first applied commercially in 1964.
Static variable
A static variable is a variable whose storage is allocated for a program's entire execution, so its value persists between uses, as in C-family languages' static keyword.
Static web page
A static web page is a set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files served to every visitor exactly as stored, with no server-side code varying the content.
Statically determinate structure
A statically determinate structure is a structure whose support reactions and internal forces can be calculated from the equations of static equilibrium alone, without information about material stiffness or deformation.
Station blackout
A station blackout (SBO) is the complete loss of AC electrical power at a nuclear power plant, caused when both offsite grid power and emergency diesel generators fail.
Station code
A station code is a short, usually alphabetic identifier for a railway or transit station in ticketing, reservation, or operating systems, independent of the station's name.
Station post insulator
A station post insulator is a rigid insulator used in high-voltage substations to support bus bars, conductors, and disconnect switches, made in porcelain, composite, and toughened glass.
Station service transformer
A station service transformer (SST), also called a station auxiliary transformer, supplies a power plant's own auxiliary loads from the high-voltage transmission network, independent of generator status.
Station wagon
A station wagon, also called an estate car, is a passenger car body style with a roof extending over a shared passenger and cargo compartment.
