Subject field(s)
  • Optical Telecommunications
DEF

A technology that uses light propagating in free space to transmit data between two points.

CONT

Free-Space Optics (also known as FSO, Wireless Optics or Optical Wireless) is an optical data, voice and video transmission system. Like fiber optic cable, wireless optics communication systems use laser light to transmit a digital signal between two transceivers. However, unlike fiber, the laser like is transtmited through the air (free-space) instead of through a glass strand. In order for the digital signal to be transmitted and received, there must be clear line of site between each wireless optics unit. In other words, there should be no obstructions such as trees or buildings between the transceiver units.

CONT

The technology is useful where the physical connection of the transmit and receive locations is difficult, for example in cities where the laying of fibre optic cables is expensive. Free Space Optics is also used to communicate between space-craft, since outside of the atmosphere there is little to distort the signal. The optical links usually use infrared laser light, although low-data-rate communication over short distances is possible using LEDs [Light Emitting Diode]. IrDA [Infrared Data Association] is a very simple form of free-space optical communications. Distances up to the order of 10 km are possible, but the distance and data rate of connection is highly dependent on atmospheric conditions.

OBS

In Information Technology and Communications, IrDA refers to Infrared Data Association, a standard for communication between devices (such as computers, PDAs and mobile phones) over short distances using infrared signals.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
DEF

An interconnection between audio components in which there are two conductors, signal and ground.

OBS

The ’unbalanced’ aspect of this connection is that, since ground is the reference, each of the two signal leads has a very different(unbalanced) impedance relationship to the reference. This is of no consequence unless there are noises or hum potentials in the grounding of the interconnected components. Commonly employs a coaxial cable, in which the outer cylindrical shield serves as the ground connection.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électroacoustique
DEF

Interconnexion entre des composants audio comportant deux conducteurs : le signal et le son.

OBS

Le caractère «dissymétrique» de cette connexion tient au fait que la terre étant utilisée comme référence, chacune des deux extrémités du signal présente un rapport d'impédance très différent (dissymétrique) avec la référence. Cette différence est sans effet, excepté en présence de bruits ou de bourdonnements dans la mise à la terre des composants interconnectés. Cette connexion utilise en général un câble coaxial, dont le blindage cylindrique extérieur sert de connexion à la terre.

The Common Berthing Mechanism(CBM) is a functional structure that is used to connect the components of the International Space Station(except the Russian modules).... A CBM is composed of two parts, an active CBM that uses an electric motor to make connection, and a passive CBM. To connect these two parts, an astronaut first uses the robot arm to grapple the module on which the passive CBM is attached and move it close to the active CBM. A limit switch located on the active CBM senses when the passive CBM is close enough to the active CBM and generates a signal indicating that preparation for berthing is completed. Next, the active CBM extends four capture latches to catch the passive CBM. The 16 power bolts then extend from the active CBM and are inserted into the holes of the passive CBM, completing the connection. When the pressurized modules are connected, a big O-ring seal made of special rubber will seal the CBMs to maintain air-tightness inside the connected modules.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

... the network learns a predefined set of input-output example pairs by using a two-phase propagate-adapt cycle. After an input pattern has been applied as a stimulus to the first layer of network units, it is propagated through each upper layer until an output is generated. This output pattern is then compared to the desired output, and an error signal is computed... then transmitted backward.... Based on the error signal received, connection weights are then updated....

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telephones
CONT

The transmitter and receiver connect with the loop through a speech circuit, which is often referred to as a "two-wire, four-wire" network because the four wires from the handset are reduced to two at the connection with the loop. The primary function of the speech circuit is to separate the circuits for talking and listening in order to limit the amount of the talker's signal(the side tone) in his own receiver.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Téléphones
CONT

Le microphone et l'écouteur [du téléphone] sont reliés à la ligne par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit "octopôle" (2 fils -- 4 fils) permettant de passer des 4 fils du combiné aux deux fils de la ligne téléphonique. Ce circuit qui permet de séparer le circuit "parole" du circuit "écoute", sert essentiellement à réduire la réinjection de parole dans l'écouteur. On appelle aussi ce circuit l'"antilocal".
