A clinical coder—also known as clinical coding officer, diagnostic coder, medical coder, or nosologist—is a health information professional whose main duties are to analyse clinical statements and assign standardized codes using a classification system.
In the process of encoding, the sender (i.e. encoder) uses verbal (e.g. words, signs, images, video) and non-verbal (e.g. body language, hand gestures, face expressions) symbols for which he or she believes the receiver (that is, the decoder) will understand. The symbols can be words and numbers, images, face expressions, signals and/or actions.
A codec is a computer hardware or software component that encodes or decodes a data stream or signal. [1] [2] [3] Codec is a portmanteau of coder/decoder. [4] In electronic communications, an endec is a device that acts as both an encoder and a decoder on a signal or data stream, [5] and hence is a type of codec. Endec is a portmanteau of ...
This decomposition is useful for the design and analysis of quantization behavior, and it illustrates how the quantized data can be communicated over a communication channel – a source encoder can perform the forward quantization stage and send the index information through a communication channel, and a decoder can perform the reconstruction ...
Almost all data compression methods involve the use of a model, a prediction of the composition of the data. When the data matches the prediction made by the model, the encoder can usually transmit the content of the data at a lower information cost, by making reference to the model. This general statement is a bit misleading as general data ...
Delta encoding is a way of storing or transmitting data in the form of differences (deltas) between sequential data rather than complete files; more generally this is known as data differencing. Delta encoding is sometimes called delta compression, particularly where archival histories of changes are required (e.g., in revision control software).
A Data Matrix on a Mini PCI card, encoding the serial number 15C06E115AZC72983004. The most popular application for Data Matrix is marking small items, due to the code's ability to encode fifty characters in a symbol that is readable at 2 or 3 mm 2 (0.003 or 0.005 sq in) and the fact that the code can be read with only a 20% contrast ratio.

Differential Manchester encoding (DM) is a line code in digital frequency modulation in which data and clock signals are combined to form a single two-level self-synchronizing data stream. Each data bit is encoded by a presence or absence of signal level transition in the middle of the bit period, followed by the mandatory level transition at ...
