Intel 8255 Parallel Port Interface: Modes & Features
Intel 8255 Parallel Port Interface Device
The Intel 8255 is a general-purpose, programmable I/O device with 40 terminals. It features 24 I/O pins that can be individually programmed in two groups of 12 and has three modes of operation. It contains three programmable 8-bit parallel ports (A, B, and C). Each port has a corresponding register, and there is a control register for the port.
Formatting the Control Word
The control word is used to program the two groups of interface ports on the 8255. The

Designing Fair Ranking Schemes
Abstract
Items from a database are often ranked based on a combination of criteria. The weight given to each criterion in the combination can greatly affect the fairness of the produced ranking, for example, preferring men over women. A user may have the flexibility to choose combinations that weigh these criteria differently, within limits. In this paper, we develop a system that helps users choose criterion weights that lead to greater fairness.
