  2. Percent-encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding

    URL encoding, officially known as percent-encoding, is a method to encode arbitrary data in a uniform resource identifier (URI) using only the US-ASCII characters legal within a URI. Although it is known as URL encoding , it is also used more generally within the main Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) set, which includes both Uniform Resource ...

  3. Uniform Resource Identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier

    URL is a useful but informal concept: a URL is a type of URI that identifies a resource via a representation of its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network "location"), rather than by some other attributes it may have. [19] As such, a URL is simply a URI that happens to point to a resource over a network.

  4. Encoder (digital) - Wikipedia

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

    A General encoder's block diagram. An encoder (or "simple encoder") in digital electronics is a one-hot to binary converter. That is, if there are 2 n input lines, and at most only one of them will ever be high, the binary code of this 'hot' line is produced on the n-bit output lines. A binary encoder is the dual of a binary decoder.

  5. URL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL

    A uniform resource locator (URL), colloquially known as an address on the Web, [1] is a reference to a resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), [ 2 ] [ 3 ] although many people use the two terms interchangeably.

  6. Bitstream format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_format

    A bitstream format is the format of the data found in a stream of bits used in a digital communication or data storage application. [1] The term typically refers to the data format of the output of an encoder, or the data format of the input to a decoder when using data compression.

  7. Encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoder

    Audio encoder, converts digital audio to analog audio signals; Video encoder, converts digital video to analog video signals; Simple encoder, assigns a binary code to an active input line; Priority encoder, outputs a binary code representing the highest-priority active input; 8b/10b encoder, creates DC balance on a communication transmission line

  8. Line code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_code

    In telecommunications, a line code is a pattern of voltage, current, or photons used to represent digital data transmitted down a communication channel or written to a storage medium. This repertoire of signals is usually called a constrained code in data storage systems. [ 1 ]

  9. Encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

    In cryptography, encryption (more specifically, encoding) is the process of transforming information in a way that, ideally, only authorized parties can decode. This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext , into an alternative form known as ciphertext .
