  2. Device control register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_control_register

    Its stated design goal is to "transfer data between a DCR master, typically a CPU’s general purpose registers, and the DCR slave logic’s device control registers". [3] For example, the IBM MultiProcessor Interrupt Controller (MPIC) is connected up to four processors via a shared DCR bus, and in turn the MPIC handles up to 128 interrupt ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Carrier_Detect

    DCD is very important on modems, as it is the computer's primary way to find out that the modem has lost its connection to the remote host. Aside from intentional disconnects, modems can lose their connection for a variety of reasons unexpectedly - such as the phone line being disconnected.

  4. Direct-conversion receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-conversion_receiver

    A direct-conversion receiver (DCR), also known as a homodyne, synchrodyne, zero intermediate frequency or zero-IF receiver, is a radio receiver design that demodulates the incoming radio signal using synchronous detection driven by a local oscillator whose frequency is identical to, or very close to the carrier frequency of the intended signal.

    .dcr, a raw image format; Decision Composite Residuosity in cryptography, see Computational hardness assumption; Design Change request, also Document Change request and Database Change request; Device control register, a hardware register that controls some computer hardware device like a peripheral or an expansion card

  6. Cable-ready - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable-ready

    Digital cable-ready or DCR is a label used by manufacturers on new televisions which feature built-in technology that allows consumers to receive SDTV and HDTV digital cable programs. [4] Usually this is a QAM tuner , since over-the-air broadcasts are either COFDM ( DVB-T and ISDB-T ) or 8VSB ( ATSC -T).

  7. AC/DC receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC/DC_receiver_design

    So-called "All American Five" vacuum tube radio receivers used a power supply that could work on either AC or DC. An AC/DC receiver design is a style of power supply of vacuum tube radio or television receivers that eliminated the bulky and expensive mains transformer.

    An operation to prevent further turn-on of a controllable valve device or an arm consisting of such devices by inhibiting the control signals. valve device commutation A method of self-commutation in which the commutating voltage is created by turning off the conducting electronic valve device by a control signal.

  9. Dropped-call rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropped-call_rate

    In telecommunications, the dropped-call rate (DCR) is the fraction of the telephone calls which, due to technical reasons, were cut off before the speaking parties had finished their conversational tone and before one of them had hung up (dropped calls). This fraction is usually measured as a percentage of all calls.
