In a data transmission, a command that does not contain sequence numbers in the control field.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a database management system, the procedures and capabilities available for reconstruction of the contents of a database to a state that prevailed before the detection of processing errors and before the occurrence of a hardware or software failure that resulted in the destruction of some or all of the stored data.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a dc voltage, the alternating component that is residually retained from rectification of ac power, or from generation and commutation. 2. In a dc voltage, the alternating component that is coupled into a circuit from a source of interference.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a DDN switching center, the processor that controls traffic on a line.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a device, process, or channel, a point that accepts data. 2. A state, or a sequence of states, of a point that accepts data. 3. A stimulus, such as a signal or interference, that enters a functional unit, such as a telecommunications system, a computer, or a computer program.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a digital computer, the condition that occurs when a calculation produces a non-zero result that is less than the smallest non-zero quantity that a given register or storage location can store or represent.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a digital computer, the condition that occurs when a calculation produces a result that is greater than a given register or storage location can store or represent. 2. In a digital computer, the amount that a calculated value is greater than a given register or storage location can store or represent. Note: The overflow may be placed at another location. Synonym overflow.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a digital data stream, a time interval that is allocated to a single digit and that can be uniquely recognized and defined.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a digital feedback loop, the digital signal that is fed back. Note 1: Several forms of analog-to-digital converters contain a quantized feedback loop following the basic A-D converter. Note 2: The feedback signal is often processed before introducing it to the loop.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a digital transmission system, distortion of the received signal, which distortion is manifested in the temporal spreading and consequent overlap of individual pulses to the degree that the receiver cannot reliably distinguish between changes of state, i.e., between individual signal elements. Note 1: At a certain threshold, intersymbol interference will compromise the integrity of the received data. Note 2: Intersymbol interference attributable to the statistical nature of quantum mechanisms sets the fundamental limit to receiver sensitivity. Note 3: Intersymbol interference may be measured by eye patterns. 2. Extraneous energy from the signal in one or more keying intervals that interferes with the reception of the signal in another keying interval. 3. The disturbance caused by extraneous energy from the signal in one or more keying intervals that interferes with the reception of the signal in another keying interval.
