In telecommunications, a channel bank is a device that performs multiplexing or demultiplexing of a group of communications channels, such as analog or digital telephone lines, into one channel of higher bandwidth or higher digital bit rate, such as...
Carrier telephony is a method for carrying several simultaneous long-distance telephone conversations over the same transmission line. Each conversation is shifted to a different frequency band, allowing the channels to share the line by...
Cold and dense water from the Nordic Seas is transported southwards as Faroe-Bank Channel overflow. This water flows from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic through the Faroe-Bank Channel between the Faroe Islands and Scotland. The overflow...
A meander is one of a series of regular sinuous curves in the channel of a stream. It is produced as a watercourse erodes the sediments of an outer, concave bank (cut bank or river cliff) and deposits sediments on an inner, convex bank which is...
In telecommunications, superframe (SF) is a T1 framing standard. In the 1970s it replaced the original T1/D1 framing scheme of the 1960s in which the framing bit simply alternated between 0 and 1. Superframe is sometimes called D4 Framing to avoid...
KBC Group N.V. is a Belgian universal multi-channel bank-insurer, focusing on private clients and small and medium-sized enterprises in Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia. It was created in 1998 through the merger of...
In digital telephony, the digital milliwatt is a standard test signal that serves as a reference for analog signal levels in the telecommunications network. When decoding the digital milliwatt, a PCM decoder produces a sinusoidal signal with a...
In geography, a bank is the land alongside a body of water. Different structures are referred to as "banks" in different fields of geography. In limnology, a "stream bank" or "river bank" is the terrain alongside the bed of a river, creek, or...
A bar in a river is an elevated region of sediment (such as sand or gravel) that has been deposited by the flow. Types of bars include mid-channel bars (also called braid bars and common in braided rivers), point bars (common in meandering rivers),...
A crystal filter is an electronic filter that uses the mechanical resonance of piezoelectric crystals, usually quartz, to shape a circuit's frequency response. Its early development was driven by carrier telephony, which required steep filters to...
