  2. Thinsulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinsulate

    The word is a portmanteau of the words thin and insulate, trademarked by 3M. [1] The material is made by the 3M Corporation and was first sold in 1979. [2] It was originally marketed as an inexpensive alternative to down; at the time, 3M claimed it was twice as warm as an equivalent amount of any natural material. [3] [4]

  3. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

  4. Differential coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_coding

    A differential encoder provides the operation, a differential decoder - the operation. Both differential encoder and differential decoder are discrete linear time-invariant systems. The former is recursive and IIR, the latter is non-recursive and thus FIR. They can be analyzed as digital filters.

  7. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    Many incremental encoders have an additional output signal, typically designated index [2] or Z, [3] which indicates the encoder is located at a particular reference position. Also, some encoders provide a status output (typically designated alarm) [4] that indicates internal fault conditions such as a bearing failure or sensor malfunction.

  8. Low-density parity-check code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_parity-check_code

    The constituent encoders are typically accumulators and each accumulator is used to generate a parity symbol. A single copy of the original data (S 0,K-1) is transmitted with the parity bits (P) to make up the code symbols. The S bits from each constituent encoder are discarded. The parity bit may be used within another constituent code.
