DEF

... an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers.

CONT

The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value, called the PRNG’s seed (which may include truly random values).

Record 3 2001-08-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telephones
CONT

In RINGER state, a(square-wave) ringer melody will be produced. The ringer melody has to be supplied to the ringer output stage... The ringer part contains the ringer detector, also named ringer discriminator, and melody generator. A ringer melody with 3 tones in sequence will be generated after detection and validation of the ringer signal... In parallel with resistor options read cycle and memory integrity check, the ringer detector checks the validation of the ringer signal conforming the ringer specification before a ringer melody will be generated. This is to detect a valid ringer signal as soon as possible.

Menu: réglage des mélodies d'appel. Pour chaque type d'appel (interne, externe), vous pouvez définir une mélodie différente. De plus, vous pouvez (indépendamment l'un de l'autre) choisir si les appels doivent être signalés par le biais de la mélodie d'appel, du vibreur (accessoire) et/ou dans le microcasque (accessoire). La signalisation des appels avec la DEL est indépendante de ces paramètrages.

Record 4 1997-12-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
CONT

In cryptography we have various kinds of keys, including a User Key(the key which a user actually remembers), which may be the same as an Alias Key(the key for an alias file which relates correspondent names with their individual keys). We may also have an Individual Key(the key actually used for a particular correspondent) ;a Message Key(normally a random value which differs for each and every message) ;a Running Key(the confusion sequence in a stream cipher, normally produced by a random number generator) ;and perhaps other forms of key as well.

Another approach(to supply the reference signal to the adaptation mechanism) spreads the adaptation process over the operating time of the adaptive equalizer by sending pulses in a quasi-random pattern along with the data sequence. Another quasi-random generator located in the receiver that is synchronized with the transmitter is used to form the error signal.
