  2. Phase resetting in neurons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_resetting_in_neurons

    Phase resetting in neurons is a behavior observed in different biological oscillators and plays a role in creating neural synchronization as well as different processes within the body. Phase resetting in neurons is when the dynamical behavior of an oscillation is shifted. This occurs when a stimulus perturbs the phase within an oscillatory ...

  3. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(electronics)

    Different types of noise are generated by different devices and different processes. Thermal noise is unavoidable at non-zero temperature (see fluctuation-dissipation theorem), while other types depend mostly on device type (such as shot noise, [1] [3] which needs a steep potential barrier) or manufacturing quality and semiconductor defects, such as conductance fluctuations, including 1/f noise.

  4. Resettable fuse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettable_fuse

    The resetting will often not take place even if the fault alone has been removed with the power still flowing as the operating current may be above the holding current of the PPTC. The device may not return to its original resistance value; it will most likely stabilize at a significantly higher resistance (up to 4 times initial value).

  5. Cliff effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_effect

    In telecommunications, the (digital) cliff effect or brick-wall effect is a sudden loss of digital signal reception. Unlike analog signals , which gradually fade when signal strength decreases or electromagnetic interference or multipath increases, a digital signal provides data which is either perfect or non-existent at the receiving end.

  6. Generation loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_loss

    In digital systems, several techniques such as lossy compression codecs and algorithms, used because of other advantages, may introduce generation loss and must be used with caution. However, copying a digital file itself incurs no generation loss—the copied file is identical to the original, provided a perfect copying channel is used.

  7. Digital reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_reset

    Digital reset or digitally reset may refer to: Digital reset (computing), the reset of a digital computer; Digital reset (electronics), a cleared latch-state in electronics; Digital reset (typesetting), a digitally prepared typeset for publication either from a previous digital typeset or a complete rework of a work previously published with ...

  8. Digital down converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_down_converter

    In digital signal processing, a digital down-converter (DDC) converts a digitized, band-limited signal to a lower frequency signal at a lower sampling rate in order to simplify the subsequent radio stages. The process can preserve all the information in the frequency band of interest of the original signal.

  9. Counter (digital) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_(digital)

    In digital logic and computing, a counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular event or process has occurred, often in relationship to a clock. The most common type is a sequential digital logic circuit with an input line called the clock and multiple output lines.
