  2. Copper cable certification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_cable_certification

    In twisted-pair cabling near-end crosstalk (NEXT) is a measure that describes the effect caused by a signal from one wire pair coupling into another wire pair and interfering with the signal therein. It is the difference, expressed in dB, between the amplitude of a transmitted signal and the amplitude of the signal coupled into another cable ...

  3. Olmstead v. United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olmstead_v._United_States

    Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438 (1928), was a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, on the matter of whether wiretapping of private telephone conversations, conducted by federal agents without a search warrant with recordings subsequently used as evidence, constituted a violation of the target’s rights under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

  4. Electrical termination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_termination

    Less commonly, a terminator is also placed at the driving end of the wire or cable, if not already part of the signal-generating equipment. [ 1 ] Radio frequency currents tend to reflect from discontinuities in the cable, such as connectors and joints, and travel back down the cable toward the source, causing interference as primary reflections.

  5. Reflections of signals on conducting lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflections_of_signals_on...

    A time-domain reflectometer; an instrument used to locate the position of faults on lines from the time taken for a reflected wave to return from the discontinuity.. A signal travelling along an electrical transmission line will be partly, or wholly, reflected back in the opposite direction when the travelling signal encounters a discontinuity in the characteristic impedance of the line, or if ...

  6. Electric current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current

    Joule immersed a length of wire in a fixed mass of water and measured the temperature rise due to a known current through the wire for a 30 minute period. By varying the current and the length of the wire he deduced that the heat produced was proportional to the square of the current multiplied by the electrical resistance of the wire.

  7. Backfeeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backfeeding

    A common source of unintentional backfeeding is an electrical generator (typically a portable generator) that is improperly connected to a building electrical system.A properly installed electrical generator incorporates the use of a transfer switch or generator interlock kit to ensure the incoming electrical service line is disconnected when the generator is providing power to the building.

  8. Advance-fee scam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam

    Wire transfers via Western Union and MoneyGram are ideal for this purpose. International wire transfers cannot be cancelled or reversed, and the person receiving the money cannot be tracked. Other non-cancellable forms of payment include postal money orders and cashier's cheques, but wire transfer via Western Union or MoneyGram is more common.

  9. Ampère's force law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_force_law

    where is the magnetic force constant from the Biot–Savart law, / is the total force on either wire per unit length of the shorter (the longer is approximated as infinitely long relative to the shorter), is the distance between the two wires, and , are the direct currents carried by the wires.
