  2. Spark-gap transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-gap_transmitter

    The spark rate should not be confused with the frequency of the transmitter, which is the number of sinusoidal oscillations per second in each damped wave. Since the transmitter produces one pulse of radio waves per spark, the output power of the transmitter was proportional to the spark rate, so higher rates were favored.

  3. Damped wave (radio transmission) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damped_wave_(radio...

    A damped wave was an early method of radio transmission produced by the first radio transmitters (spark gap transmitters) which consisted of a series of damped radio waves. Information was carried on this signal by telegraphy , turning the transmitter on and off ( on-off keying ) to send messages in Morse code .

  4. Apache Spark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Spark

    Apache Spark has its architectural foundation in the resilient distributed dataset (RDD), a read-only multiset of data items distributed over a cluster of machines, that is maintained in a fault-tolerant way. [2] The Dataframe API was released as an abstraction on top of the RDD, followed by the Dataset API.

  5. SPARC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC

    LEON, a 32-bit radiation-tolerant, SPARC V8 implementation, designed especially for space use. Source code is written in VHDL, and licensed under the GPL. OpenSPARC T1, released in 2006, a 64-bit, 32-thread implementation conforming to the UltraSPARC Architecture 2005 and to SPARC Version 9 (Level 1).

  6. Fault tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tolerance

    There is a difference between fault tolerance and systems that rarely have problems. For instance, the Western Electric crossbar systems had failure rates of two hours per forty years, and therefore were highly fault resistant. But when a fault did occur they still stopped operating completely, and therefore were not fault tolerant.

  7. State machine replication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_machine_replication

    Determinism is an ideal characteristic for providing fault-tolerance. Intuitively, if multiple copies of a system exist, a fault in one would be noticeable as a difference in the State or Output from the others. The minimum number of copies needed for fault-tolerance is three; one which has a fault, and two others to whom we compare State and ...

  8. Invention of radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_of_radio

    Before the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the development of radio communication, there were many wireless telegraph systems proposed and tested. [4] In April 1872 William Henry Ward received U.S. patent 126,356 for a wireless telegraphy system where he theorized that convection currents in the atmosphere could carry signals like a telegraph wire. [5]

  9. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    A non-ideal DC voltage waveform can be viewed as a composite of a constant DC component (offset) with an alternating (AC) voltage—the ripple voltage—overlaid. The ripple component is often small in magnitude relative to the DC component, but in absolute terms, ripple (as in the case of HVDC transmission systems) may be thousands of volts.
