  2. ADSL loop extender - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSL_loop_extender

    ADSL repeaters are deployed by rural telephone companies trying to provide rural Internet service to farms and small towns where it is impractical to place the DSLAM closer to the subscriber. Typical distance improvements with a loop extender are shown in the diagram below, with rate in megabits per second and distance in thousands of feet. [1]

  3. Optical communications repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Optical_communications_repeater

    Some repeaters also correct for distortion of the optical signal by converting it to an electrical signal, processing that electrical signal and then retransmitting an optical signal. Such repeaters are known as optical-electrical-optical (OEO) due to the conversion of the signal. These repeaters are also called regenerators for the same reason.

  4. Bumper knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_knot

    The first suggestion for tying the bumper knot is to always keep the loops tight. If the loops become loose at all the knot will not work. The initial string used for the lead usually consumes about 8 inches when tying. To start tying the knot, hold the bend of the hook, and start feeding one end of the line through the eye of the hook.

  5. Meat extenders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_extenders

    Extenders were originally used to reduce costs, but they were later used to make meat products more healthy by adding dietary fiber, or to improve the texture. [2] Meat extenders were used in the United States in the 1940s, with rolled oats used as an extender in sausage meat, and dishes such as stuffed cabbage were considered to be a suitable ...

  6. Repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeater

    The digital repeater is used in channels that transmit data by binary digital signals, in which the data is in the form of pulses with only two possible values, representing the binary digits 1 and 0. A digital repeater amplifies the signal, and it also may retime, resynchronize, and reshape the pulses.

  7. Digital loop carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_loop_carrier

    A digital loop carrier (DLC) is a system which uses digital transmission to extend the range of the local loop farther than would be possible using only twisted pair copper wires. A DLC digitizes and multiplexes the individual signals carried by the local loops onto a single datastream on the DLC segment.

  8. Poultry farming in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poultry_farming_in_the...

    Egg production peaks in the early spring, when farm expenses are high and income is low. On many farms, the flock was the most important source of income, though this was often not appreciated by the farmers, since the money arrived in many small payments. Eggs were a farm operation where even small children could make a valuable contribution. [23]

  9. Mechanically separated meat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_separated_meat

    Mechanically separated meat: pasztet Mechanically deboned meat: frozen chicken Mechanically separated meat (MSM), mechanically recovered/reclaimed meat (MRM), or mechanically deboned meat (MDM) is a paste-like meat product produced by forcing pureed or ground beef, pork, mutton, turkey or chicken under high pressure through a sieve or similar device to separate the bone from the edible meat ...
