The minimum value of a signal that can be detected by the system or sensor under consideration. 2. A value used to denote predetermined levels, such as those pertaining to volume of message storage, i.e., in-transit storage or queue storage, used in a message switching center. 3. The minimum value of the parameter used to activate a device. 4. The minimum value a stimulus may have to create a desired effect.
Industry:Telecommunications
The minimum time interval between the starts of successive yywrite cycles of a storage device that has separate reading and writing cycles.
Industry:Telecommunications
The minimum time between the television pictures that have been selected for encoding. Note: ITU-T Recommendation H. 221 cites the following values for picture interval: 1/29. 97, 2/29. 97, 3/29. 97, and 4/29. 97 seconds per picture.
Industry:Telecommunications
The metric unit of solid angle. See International System of Units.
Industry:Telecommunications
The methods used to detect imminent hardware or software failure and provide fail safe or fail soft recovery.

The message digest algorithm used in PGP is the MD5 Message Digest Algorithm, placed in the public domain by RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5's designer, Ronald Rivest, writes this about MD5: "It is conjectured that the difficulty of coming up with two messages having the same message digest is on the order of 2^64 operations, and that the difficulty of coming up with any message having a given message digest is on the order of 2^128 operations. The MD5 algorithm has been carefully scrutinized for weaknesses. It is, however, a relatively new algorithm and further security analysis is of course justified, as is the case with any new proposal of this sort. The level of security provided by MD5 should be sufficient for implementing very high security hybrid digital signature schemes based on MD5 and the RSA public-key cryptosystem. "
Industry:Telecommunications
The mechanism that allows a user to be alerted on one terminal and to choose to answer the call on any terminal, not necessarily the one through which alerting took place.
Industry:Telecommunications
The mechanism for conveying, or the conveyance of, security-related information between two entities.
Industry:Telecommunications
The measurement of the distance to a remote object (target,) from a known observation or reference point. Note: Ranging may be accomplished by geometric means, e.g., triangulation, or by the measurement of the transit time of an electromagnetic or acoustic signal. Ranging has application to navigation and cartography.
