t in the inline direction precedes the graphic character.
- In architecture, the front edge of a sheet as it moves through a printer.
- The amount of time it takes a supplier, such as a distribution center, to acquire an item for shipping.
- The amount of time between placing an order and receiving the items.
- A switch field replaceable unit (FRU) that plugs into a switch chassis. It contains connectors for interconnecting with adapters and other switches. Internal to the switch chassis, a leaf connects to spine modules, which provide connectivity to other leaf FRUs in the same switch chassis by way of a midplane.
- In a tree, an entry or node that has no children.
A leaf card in a switch chassis that contains a specific number of InfiniBand port connectors and has the capability of communicating with other leaf modules through connections to spines.
- The lowest level contract folder or organization in a hierarchy that is not a parent.
- See leaf member.
A page that contains pairs of keys and record identifiers and that points to actual data. See also nonleaf page.
See thin client.
- A continual physical connection over a telecommunications line between two computers or between a computer and a network.
- See nonswitched line.

least traveled path
A putaway and picking strategy that selects putaway or pick locations by calculating the shortest distance to travel through the warehouse to putaway or pick all of the items required for that assignment.
least upper bound (LUB)
The smallest number that is greater than the variable. Least upper bounds are important in math programming (MP) and constraint programming (CP) in the context of setting bounds on variables as tightly as possible. See also greatest lower bound, upper bound.
In APPN, the one route calculated by topology and routing services (TRS) to have the lowest total weight after TRS compares the node characteristics and TG characteristics of each intermediate node and intermediate TG of each possible route for the class-of-service requested, and computes the total combined weight for nodes and TGs in each route. After a least-weight route is calculated between two given nodes, the result may be stored to prevent repetition of this calculation in future route selections.

left outer join
A join whose result consists of the matched rows of the two tables that were joined and the unmatched rows of the first table. See also full outer join, join, outer join, right outer join.
A matured product that is near end of life and has a "withdrawal from marketing" date established. There are no plans for new releases or versions or new translations (only fixes), and it is not a candidate for inclusion in any other product offering. However legacy products that are included in other product offerings become components and are subject to the flagship requirements. Legacy products cannot maintain their legacy status if they announce a new version/release or if they are included in another product offering. Legacy products must maintain their existing level of globalization support from the time they enter legacy status until their withdrawal from support. See also flagship product, key product, non-key product.
In a company structure, one or more sub-units that are connected to a group company. A sub-unit may represent a specific geographical area in one consolidation structure, and in a parallel consolidation structure it can be included in a group representing the total of that geographical area.
The normalized or canonical form of a word. Typically, the lemma is the underived and uninflected form of a noun or a verb. For example, the lemma of the terms 'organizing' and 'organized' is 'organize'. See also stem.
A process that identifies the root form and different grammatical forms of a word. For example, a search for mouse also finds documents that contain the word mice, and a search for go also finds documents that conta
