ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
The termination of user information transfer between a source user and a destination user in response to a disengagement request. Note: Successful disengagement occurs at the earliest moment at which either user is able to initiate a new information transfer transaction.
Industry:Telecommunications
To generate new frequencies by mixing two or more signals in a nonlinear device such as a vacuum tube, transistor, or diode mixer. Note: A superheterodyne receiver converts any selected incoming frequency by heterodyne action to a common intermediate frequency where amplification and selectivity (filtering) are provided. 2. A frequency produced by mixing two or more signals in a nonlinear device.
Industry:Telecommunications
To fill unused storage locations in an information system (IS) with the representation of the character denoting "0".
Industry:Telecommunications
Training that (a) in which usually live instruction is conveyed in real time via telecommunications facilities, (b) that may be accomplished on a point-to-point basis or on a point-to-multipoint basis, and (c) may assume many forms, such as a teleseminar, a teleconference, or an electronic classroom, usually including both audio and video. Synonyms distance learning, distance training, electronic classroom, virtual instruction.
Industry:Telecommunications
The specialized field concerned with the use of electronic devices and systems for the acquisition or acceptance, processing, storage, display, analysis, protection, disposition, and transfer of information. Note: C-E includes the wide range of responsibilities and actions relating to (a) electronic devices and systems used in the transfer of ideas and perceptions, (b) electronic sensors and sensory systems used in the acquisition of information devoid of semantic influence, and (c) electronic devices and systems intended to allow friendly forces to operate in hostile environments and to deny to hostile forces the effective use of electromagnetic resources.
Industry:Telecommunications
The space, adjacent to a lightning protection system, that is substantially immune to direct lightning strokes.
Industry:Telecommunications
To connect circuits together temporarily. Note: In communications, patches may be made by means of a cord, i. E. , a cable, known as a "patch cord. " In automated systems, patches may be made electronically. 2. In a computer program, one or more statements inserted to circumvent a problem or to alter temporarily or permanently a usually limited aspect or characteristic of the functioning of the program, e. G. , to customize the program for a particular application or environment.
Industry:Telecommunications
The technology associated with those components, devices and systems which are designed to interact between the electromagnetic (optical) and the electric (electronic) state. Note 1: The operation of electro-optic devices depends on modification of the refractive index of a material by electric fields. Note 2: In a Kerr cell, the refractive index change is proportional to the square of the electric field, and the material is usually a liquid. Note 3: In a Pockels cell, the refractive index change varies linearly with the electric field, and the material is a crystal. Note 4: "Electro-optic" is often erroneously used as a synonym for "optoelectronic".
Industry:Telecommunications
The time between the start of an access attempt and access failure caused by access denial, i. E. , system blocking. Note: Access denial times are measured only on access attempts that result in access denial.
Industry:Telecommunications
The square of the electric field strength of an electromagnetic wave. Note: Intensity is proportional to irradiance and may be used in place of the term "irradiance" when only relative values are important.
