  4. Vortex flowmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_flowmeter

    A vortex flowmeter has the following components: A flow sensor operable to sense pressure variations due to vortex-shedding of a fluid in a passage and to convert the pressure variations to a flow sensor signal, in the form of an electrical signal; and a signal processor operable to receive the flow sensor signal and to generate an output signal corresponding to the pressure variations due to ...

  9. Space–time code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space–time_code

    A space–time code (STC) is a method employed to improve the reliability of data transmission in wireless communication systems using multiple transmit antennas. STCs rely on transmitting multiple, redundant copies of a data stream to the receiver in the hope that at least some of them may survive the physical path between transmission and ...
