  Computer bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early computer buses were literally parallel electrical buses with multiple connections, but the term is now used for any physical arrangement that provides the same logical functionality as a parallel electrical bus.
The former referred to bus systems that were designed to be used with internal devices, such as graphics cards, and the latter to buses designed to add external devices such as scanners.
An internal bus connects all the internal components of a computer to the motherboard (and thus, the CPU and internal memory).

 Electrical bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bus often takes the form of an array of wires that terminate at a connector which allows a device to be plugged onto the bus.
In an electrical laboratory, for example, a bare bus-bar will sometimes line the wall, to be used by the engineers and technicians for its high electrical current carrying capacity, which allows a convenient approximation to zero voltage, or ground in the US, and earth in the UK.
In analysis of an electric power network a "bus" is any node of the single-line diagram at which voltage, current, power flow, or other quantities are to be evaluated.

 Bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In area where double-decker bus operation is not typical, including the United States, there have been numerous experiments using them on high-capacity routes, but often this has proved impractical because the infrastructure (bridges, overhead cables, etc) has not been designed for their additional height.

 United States Patent Application: 0040219397
The present invention discloses: a server; an electrical module located within the server; a fuel cell, located within the server, for generating electrical power; and an electrical bus, located within the server, coupling the electrical power generated by the fuel cell to the electrical module.
Preferably the communications bus 218 is a fiber optic cable, so as to keep the fuel cell device/server 202 electrically isolated, and thus not be as affected by any fluid leaks external to the fuel cell device/server 202.
Preferably the electrical bus 216 voltage is monitored at or near the battery 217 connected between the fuel cell 204 and the electrical bus 216.

 Aircraft Electrical Fire and the case for Virgin Electrical Bus
The "Virgin Electrical Bus" proposal is essentially the installation in aircraft of a completely separate emergency electrical wiring system which would only be used in the event of an in-flight electrical fire to power essential aircraft systems normally available under Standby Electrical power to get the aircraft back on the ground in one piece.
If a person had an electrical fire in their house, the first thing that person would do is remove the electrical power to the house by pulling the main house fuse, but that option is not available with aircraft like the B777 and Airbus.
Electrical currents flowing through a structure comprising sheets of metal, such as an aircraft airframe, causes electrolysis which rapidly degrades protective coatings, accelerating corrosion at the joins and leading to the possibility of premature catastrophic structural failure as the aircraft ages.

The traction motors typically receive electrical energy from an energy bus of the vehicle, in response to which the motors apply a torque to the drive wheels, thereby causing the vehicle to accelerate.
Thus, in a series hybrid electric vehicle, there are typically two energy sources capable of supplying surplus electrical energy to charge the energy storage system: the auxiliary power unit, and the traction motors acting as a regenerative braking system.
Conversely, when there is a surplus of electrical energy on the energy bus 42, which may result from excess energy supplied by the auxiliary power unit 64 and/or from regenerative braking energy supplied by the regenerative braking system 46, the energy storage system 62 receives and stores such surplus energy for future use.

 Motor Control Center Meltdown
While examining the joints connecting the horizontal feeder bus bars to the to vertical branch section bus bars, we noticed the lock-down nuts were backed off to where they engaged only a very few threads of the bolts.
Electrical load operation tends to be periodic: There are times of low electric energy requirements and periods of high electric energy demand (and higher current density draw).
This periodic bus bar heating and cooling can loosen connections at bus and cable lug joints, reducing current transfer from lug to bus and bus to bus.

These bus feed wires were routed through five conduits that were installed along the right side of the fuselage, from the avionics compartment to approximately halfway up the fuselage side wall.
All of the bus feed wires supplying the avionics CB panel are routed from the right aft side of the cockpit wall, forward through a hole behind Galley 2, and then inboard to the avionics CB bus bars.

 Data processing system having distributed priority network with logic for deactivating information transfer requests - ...
Upon completion of the bus cycle, the priority logic is coupled to deactivate the indication of the grant of the bus cycle, and in response thereto, to deactivate the request of the particular unit which has just had access to the bus.
When the bus cycle is granted, the unit places its interrupt vector on the bus, the interrupt vector including the channel number of the central processor and the interrupt level number.
Thus, with the bus in the idle state, the first event that occurs as the bus goes to the busy state is that the user sets its user request flip-flop 15.

 AETCO Short Circuit & Coordination Study
Many times the source side of the interrupting device is an electrical bus in a piece of switchgear.
Ideally in any electrical distribution system, when a fault occurs it is desirable to interrupt and remove only that portion of the electrical system in trouble, leaving the remaining system intact.
In addition to the Short Circuit and Coordination Studies, a Load Study should be made on an electrical distribution system to determine the adequacy of the system, as well as the proper sizing and setting of electrical protective devices.

Busbar systems for industrial and commercial facilities are often designed to minimize first costs, with the busbar sized to the minimum permitted by safety considerations.
Users can also enter values for a number of other variables, such as electricity and materials costs, the inflation rates to be applied to these costs, the pattern of usage the system is expected to experience, the expected life of the busbar system, etc.
Once the user has entered the relevant variables the program calculates the dollar value of the system's heat losses, a number of other costs including first costs, and the resultant life-cycle cost based on the parameters entered.

In this case, we are not talking about the Greyhound or School variety of bus but rather an electrical bus.
Essentially, an electrical bus is any network of conducting pathways that allow electrical impulses to travel along from source to destination.
As far as a computer is concerned, a bus is a set of pathways allowing data to travel as electrical impulses (recall that the language of computers is binary or base two counting and either the absence or presence of current represent zeros and ones).
