  Mask | World of Computer Science
A mask is a pattern of bits used as a filter to selectively accept or reject bits in a set of data.
The binary image of a mask, commonly called a bit mask, is used to selectively reject or accept certain corresponding bits in a data value when the mask is used in an expression with a logical operator.
When a "1" bit occurs in the mask, the bit in the data value remains the same, but when a "0" bit occurs in the mask, the bit in the data value is switched from 1 to 0 (while a 0 remains a 0).

 Mask (computing) Summary
In computer science, a mask is some data that, along with an operation, are used in order to extract information stored elsewhere.
The most common mask used, also known as a bitmask, extracts the status of certain bits in a binary string or number.
A common type of mask of this type is a subnetwork mask, which is associated with a device's IP address and used to instruct a router which bits of the address indicate the subdivision of the network the computer is on and which identify the specific computer within the subnetwork.

 Shape from Light Fields - Experimental record
Cell m3 was computed by forward projecting the absolute value of an unmasked filtered backprojection of the original (cell h1) using an occupancy mask (cell c1) derived from that backprojection using the usual (max-based) gradient operator.
Noise in the occupancy mask is causing self-shadowing noise.
The mask is the usual ramped blurred horizontal and vertical gradient of a filtered backprojection of a textured scene (cell g5).

 IP Routing Primer: Part One | Full Story | November 6, 2000
The subnet mask is configured to tell the host or client which part is the network address and which part is the node address.
With this type of subnet mask, the boundary between the network and node address is always on a dot between the last 255 and the first 0, sometimes referred to as the byte boundary.
With this type of mask, seeing the binary version doesn't add any value, but later it will be necessary to see the binary data to fully understand masks that don't end neatly on one-byte boundaries.

Mask manufacturing for the 100 and 65nm nodes is accompanied by an increasing deployment of VSB mask writing machines.
The impact on the total turn-around time for a design is twofold: the time to get the data ready for the hand-off to the mask writer is growing but also the time it actually takes to write the mask is heavily influenced by the size and complexity of the data.
The mask writing of a particular data set is affected by the file size and the shot count.

 Table masking for resistance to power analysis attacks patent invention
A mask table is also defined such that the values of each entry, masked with the corresponding random value, is the value of a fixed mask.
The masked substitution tables and the mask tables may be used in cryptographic operations to permit the output of table look-ups to be masked, without directly using the fixed mask value in the computations of the cryptographic operations.
In accordance with other aspects of the invention, such masked substitution tables and mask tables may be used in cryptographic operations carried out in accordance with the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and DES (Data Encryption Standard) approaches known to those in the art.

The mask image that was used for model estimation can be viewed after statistics have been computed by displaying the mask.img file in the results directory.
The group mask is the intersection between the individual subjects' masks, which means that even if only subject's mask was missing a certain region, this region will not be included in the group statistics.
I have found it useful to define this explicit mask using the subject's normalised inplane anatomical image, by segmenting out the gray and the white matter from it, then combining them, and then smoothing it with a large kernel (20mm), in order to be really lenient as to which voxels would be included.

Unlike the layer mask which becomes and integral part of the layer, Quick Mask is a temporary setting.
Although the mask is shown in red to represent rubylith masking (a holdover from the pre-digital print industry), fl and white have the same effect as they do for layer masks.
In the Quick Mask version of this operation, it is very clear what areas are protected and which are not, as well as the level of transparency at all points in the selection.

The distance between two same-colored phosphors is called the dot pitch for the shadow mask, the stripe pitch for the aperture grille, and the slot mask pitch for the slot mask.
Since dot pitch is measured along a diagonal and stripe and slot mask pitch is measured along a horizontal, a smaller stripe or slot mask pitch equals a slightly larger dot pitch.
Slot masks have a metal mask like a shadow mask, but the pixels are long and rectangular, resembling the stripes of an aperture grille.

 Dummies::Unmasking the Subnet Mask for the CCNA Exam
A subnet mask, which contains a binary bit pattern of ones and zeros, is applied to an address to extract the network ID for purposes of determining whether an address is on the local network.
The function of a subnet mask is to extract the network ID portion of an IP destination address and determine whether an IP address exists on the local network or whether it must be routed outside the local network.
The default standard Class C subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and its binary equivalent is 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000.

 What is subnet mask? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to.
The subnet mask is the network address plus the bits reserved for identifying the subnetwork.
It's called a mask because it can be used to identify the subnet to which an IP address belongs by performing a bitwise AND operation on the mask and the IP address.

The first digit is associated with the user (creator of the file), the second with the group, and the third with others.
This mask is XORed (eXclusive ORed) with the access mode 666 for files or 777 for directories to determine the access mode for newly created files and directories.
Since the mask is XORed with the octal number 666 or 777, which represent full permissions for user, group, and others (each digit in that order), the result is the opposite of what is represented by the mask; that is, the umask value specifies those access modes which are to be DENIED.
