  • Computer Hardware

CONT

The crucial part is the quantum chip, which is a processor built from the superconducting materials aluminum and niobium, then chilled in a tank of liquid helium. It achieves supercomputing speeds because its basic data units—called qubits—can hold both the values 0 and 1 simultaneously, and instantly share those values among all the qubits.

OBS

Coparceners held in undivided shares. Each coparcener held a distinct but undivided share which might be equal or unequal in size to the shares of the others. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 431).

OBS

Unlike joint tenants, tenants in common hold in undivided shares : each tenant in common has a distinct share in property which has not yet been divided among the co-tenants. Thus tenants in common have quite separate interests; the only fact which brings them into co-ownership is that they both have shares in a single property which has not yet been divided among them. While the tenancy in common lasts, no one can say which of them owns any particular parcel of land.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 396).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Stock Exchange
  • Investment
DEF

Common stock issued by a parent company that tracks the performance of a particular division without having claim on the assets of the division or the parent company.

CONT

Holders of tracking stock are considered to hold equity in the parent company and not the specific entity represented by the tracking stock. Tracking stock is often set up by companies that have several diverse divisions, both so that investors can take a share in a division of their interest, and so that the performance of these divisions can be tracked in terms of shareholder interest. A company will sometimes issue a tracking stock when it has a very successful division that it feels is underappreciated by the market and not fully reflected in the company's stock price.

OBS

tracking stock: term published in the Journal officiel by the Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie of the Government of France.
