  Diabetes mellitus type 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type 1 diabetes (formerly known as "childhood" or "juvenile" diabetes or "insulin dependent" diabetes) is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, but can occur in adults as well.
A subtype of type 1 (identifiable by the presence of antibodies against beta cells) develops slowly and so is often confused with Type 2.
The fraction of type 1 diabetics in other parts of the world differs; this is likely due to both differences in the rate of type 1 and differences in the rate of other types, most prominently type 2.

 PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Type 1 was effectively a simplification of the PS system to store outline information only, as opposed to being a complete language (PDF is similar in this regard).
Type 3 fonts allowed for all the sophistication of the PostScript language, but without the standardized approach to hinting.
Since then, many free Type 1 fonts have been released; for instance, the fonts used with the TeX typesetting system are available in this format.

 Millers Falls Type 1 Bench Planes
One distinctive feature of the Type 1 planes is the presence of the 'double-jointed' lever cap but without the patent number which was present on the Type 2 and later planes.
The Type 1 has traces of red paint in the background of the logo although this is not readily seen in the photograph.
Type 2 and later planes had the model number stamped into the side of the plane as shown in the lower left corner of this photograph.

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) disease that occurs when the pancreas produces too little insulin to regulate blood sugar levels appropriately.
For all types of diabetes, the metabolism of carbohydrates (including sugars such as glucose), proteins, and fats is altered.
Type 1 diabetes accounts for 3% of all new cases of diabetes each year.

 Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body's own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (called beta cells).
Some people develop a type of diabetes — called secondary diabetes -- which is similar to type 1 diabetes, but the beta cells are not destroyed by the immune system but by some other factor, such as cystic fibrosis or pancreatic surgery.
Type 1 diabetes appears to occur when something in the environment -- a toxin or a virus (but doctors aren't sure) -- triggers the immune system to mistakenly attack the pancreas and destroy the beta cells of the pancreas to the point where they can no longer produce sufficient insulin.

 XML Schema Part 1: Structures
A complex type definition is a set of attribute declarations and a content type, applicable to the [attributes] and [children] of an element information item respectively.
The content type may require the [children] to contain neither element nor character information items (that is, to be empty), to be a string which belongs to a particular simple type or to contain a sequence of element information items which conforms to a particular model group, with or without character information items as well.
1 The values of the properties of an attribute declaration must be as described in the property tableau in The Attribute Declaration Schema Component (§3.2.1), modulo the impact of Missing Sub-components (§5.3).

 Type 1 (Juvenile) Diabetes : Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
Type 1 diabetes strikes children suddenly, makes them dependent on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.
To stay alive, people with type 1 diabetes must take multiple insulin injections daily or continually infuse insulin through a pump, and test their blood sugar by pricking their fingers for blood six or more times per day.

Although type 1 diabetes (often called juvenile onset diabetes) used to be categorized as a childhood or young adult disease, it can occur at any age.

 Type 1 Superconductors
The Type 1 category of superconductors is mainly comprised of metals and metalloids that show some conductivity at room temperature.
Type 1 superconductors - characterized as the "soft" superconductors - were discovered first and require the coldest temperatures to become superconductive.
For example, phosphorus appears to be the Type 1 element with the highest Tc.

 Juvenile onset diabetes
Type I, or juvenile onset diabetes, is the more severe form of the illness.
Type I diabetes is what is known as a 'complex trait', which means that mutations in several genes likely contribute to the disease.
Among these are (1) a gene at the locus IDDM2 on chromosome 11 and (2) the gene for glucokinase (GCK), an enzyme that is key to glucose metabolism which helps modulate insulin secretion, on chromosome 7.

 Herpes Type 1
While many people have type 1 oral infections and type 1 or 2 genital infections as well, it is extremely rare for a person to have infections with type 1 and type 2 simultaneously in the same location.
Herpes Simplex Type 1 (HSV-1) is the virus responsible of "cold sores" which are known as fever blisters, This virus is related to, but not the same as, the HSV-2 virus which causes genital herpes.
Because herpes virus types 1 and 2 share many common antigens, there is considerable cross-reactivity among most type 1 and type 2 enzyme immunoassays (EIA) based on whole viral proteins.

 Diabetes Types, Type 1.5, Slow Onset Type 1 and LADA.
Type 1.5 is one of several names now applied to those who are diagnosed with diabetes as adults, but who do not immediately require insulin for treatment, are often not overweight, and have little or no resistance to insulin.
Researchers have determined that the Type 2 patients most likely to control their blood sugars on combination oral agents are those least overweight (BMI of 30 or less), with shortest duration of diabetes, and C-peptide levels normal or only slightly low.
One major benefit to this type is that when their blood sugars are controlled, people with Type 1.5 usually do not have the high risk for heart problems more often found with the high cholesterol and blood pressure seen in true Type 2 diabetes.

These identify zones to Type 1 rasterizing programs, such as ATM and PostScript printers, so that (unspecified) special techniques may be applied to these parts during the outline-filling process.
This is for two reasons: first, although Type 1 is an open format, Adobe does not publish the specification of the Type 1 rasterizer, so clones and updated versions of PostScript may not produce identical bitmaps; second, from time to time Adobe updates the behaviour of its rasterizer.
