Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Lance is a video game released in January 1988 for various home computer systems and consoles. The game is based on the first Dragonlance campaign module for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, Dragons of Despair, and the first Dragonlance novel Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Heroes of the Lance focuses on the journey of eight heroes through the ruined city of Xak Tsaroth, where they must face the ancient dragon Khisanth and retrieve the relic, the Disks of Mishakal.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Gamebook is a series of 18 gamebooks published from 1985 to 1988. The series was initially titled Super Endless Quest Adventure Gamebook as the books added a more complex game system to stories which otherwise share the same style with the Endless Quest books. On the third book the series' title changed to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Super Endless Quest Adventure Gamebook and it finally became Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Gamebook from the fourth book onwards.

The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is a third-generation axial instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The initial design and scientific capabilities of ACS were defined by a team based at Johns Hopkins University. ACS was assembled and tested extensively at Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. and the Goddard Space Flight Center and underwent a final flight-ready verification at the Kennedy Space Center before integration in the cargo bay of the Columbia orbiter. It was launched on March 1, 2002 as part of Servicing Mission 3B (STS-109) and installed in HST on March 7, replacing the Faint Object Camera (FOC), the last original instrument. ACS cost 86 million USD at that time.ACS is a highly versatile instrument that became the primary imaging instrument aboard HST. It offered several important advantages over other HST instruments: three independent, high-resolution channels covering the ultraviolet to the near-infrared regions of the spectrum, a large detector area and quantum efficiency, resulting in an increase in HST's discovery efficiency by a factor of ten, a rich complement of filters, and coronagraphic, polarimetric, and grism capabilities. The observations undertaken with ACS provided astronomers with a view of the Universe with uniquely high sensitivity, as exemplified by the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and encompass a wide range of astronomical phenomena, from comets and planets in the Solar System to the most distant quasars known.

An Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) enables the evaluation of mature advanced technology for usage by the United States Military. ACTDs allow technology evaluation earlier and cheaper than would be possible through the formal acquisition of new production capabilities. ACTDs must be sponsored by an operational user with approval and oversight from the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Advanced Systems and Concepts (DUSD(AS&C)).

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons was an Intellivision game, one of the first Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games to be officially licensed by TSR, Inc.. It was later retitled to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Cloudy Mountain to distinguish it from the sequel, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin. It was also the first Intellivision cartridge to use more than 4K of ROM.

The Advanced CANDU reactor (ACR), or ACR-1000, is a Generation III+ nuclear reactor designed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. It combines features of the existing CANDU pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR) with features of light-water cooled advanced pressurized water reactors (APWR). From CANDU, it takes the heavy water moderator, which gives the design an improved neutron economy that allows it to burn a variety of fuels. However, it replaces the cooling loop with one containing conventional light water, greatly reducing the cost of the primary cooling loop. The name refers to its design power in the 1,000 MWe class, with the baseline around 1,200 MWe. Development of the ACR ended after AECL's reactor division was sold off in 2011.The ACR-1000 was introduced as a lower-price option compared to a larger version of the CANDU design then being considered, the CANDU-9. ACR was slightly larger, but less expensive to build and run. The downside was that it did not have the flexibility of fuels that the original CANDU design offered, and would no longer run on pure unenriched uranium. This was a small price to pay given the low cost of enrichment services and fuel in general. The ACR-1000 was bid on several proposals around the world, but won no contests. The last serious proposal was for a two-reactor expansion of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, but this project was cancelled in 2009. With no other sales prospects, the AECL design division was sold to SNC-Lavalin to provide services to the existing CANDU fleet, and the ACR design effort ended.

The Advanced Combat Rifle (ACR) was a United States Army program to find a replacement for the M16 assault rifle. Under the stress of battle the average soldier with an M16 could guarantee hitting a target at 45 meters, but hit probability was reduced to one out of ten shots on target by 220 meters. Because of this, The ACR program was initiated in the late 1980s to create a weapon that could double the hit probability. The ACR program was preceded by older programs such as the Special Purpose Individual Weapon.

Because of its ability to accurately measure the energy of single photons, it serves as an X-Ray integral field spectrograph for Chandra.ACIS is a focal-plane instrument and it used an array of charged coupled devices. ACIS is designed to both record an image and measure the energy of those incoming X-rays. (see also spectrometer)The CCD sensors of ACIS operate at -120 Celsius and its filters at -60 and -50 degrees Celsius. ACIS has a special heater that allows contamination from Chandra to be baked off. It was part of the design of Chandra to have lubricants, and the ACIS design took this into account with ability to clean its sensors. The contamination can reduce the sensitivity to X-ray light. Another danger to the sensor is radiation in space.After 15 years of operation (in 2014) there there was no indication of a limit to the lifetime of ACIS. One design feature of the telescope is a calibration source that can be used to understand the health of ACIS. This allows the level of contamination, if present, as well as the charge transfer inefficiency to be measured.

In computing, the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification provides an open standard that operating systems can use to perform discovery and configuration of computer hardware components, to perform power management by, for example, putting unused components to sleep, and to perform status monitoring. Internally, ACPI advertises the available components and their functions to the operating system kernel using instruction lists ("methods") provided through the system firmware (UEFI or BIOS), which the kernel parses; and then executes the desired operations (such as the initialization of hardware components) using an embedded minimal virtual machine.First released in December 1996, ACPI defines platform-independent interfaces for hardware discovery, configuration, power management, and monitoring, and is designed to replace Advanced Power Management (APM), the MultiProcessor Specification, and the Plug and Play BIOS (PnP) Specification. ACPI brings the power management under the control of the operating system, as opposed to the previous BIOS-centric system that relied on platform-specific firmware to determine power management and configuration policies. The specification is central to Operating System-directed configuration and Power Management (OSPM), a system implementing ACPI which removes device management responsibilities from legacy firmware interfaces.Intel, Microsoft and Toshiba originally developed the standard, while HP and Phoenix also participated later. In October 2013, the original developers of the ACPI standard agreed to transfer all assets to the UEFI Forum, in which all future development will take place. The latest version of the standard is "Revision 6.1", which was published by the UEFI Forum in March 2016.
