In Technology
Various arrangements of multiple individual components to create a single system, such as:
- An antenna array, such as a phased array, a tower array, etc.
- A speaker array, used to produce directional Sound
- Asynchronous array of simple processors
- Ball grid array, pin grid array, and land grid array, ways to connect integrated circuits
- Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP)
- Color filter array, placed over an imaging array
- Disk array, such as the RAID
- Field emitter array, an electron source
- Gate array, including a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)
- Halbach array, an arrangement of magnets
- Linear diode array used in image scanners
- Microphone array, such as a line array
- Microelectronic array for biological monitoring
- Parametric array of transducers
- Phased-array optics
- Photovoltaic array
- Processor array (not to be confused with an array processor)
- Programmable Array Logic (PAL), a systematic way to implement boolean functions.
- Reconfigurable datapath array, a flexible data processing architecture
- Staring array, an imaging sensor
- Systolic array, a hardware architecture
- Towed array sonar
- Wi-Fi array, a wireless networking device
- Video Graphics Array (VGA), a display adapter and video format, and many variants thereof (EVGA, FWVGA, QVGA, QXGA, SVGA, SXGA, SXGA+, TXGA, UVGA, XGA, XGA+, ...)
- ICL Distributed Array Processor, an array processor for the ICL
and also
- Array gain, a telecommunications parameter
- Array processing of multichannel signals (not to be confused with array programming)

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
