Controlled language in machine translation — Using controlled language in machine translation poses several problems. In an automated translation, the first step in order to understand the controlled language is to know what it is and to distinguish between natural language and controlled… … Wikipedia
Enhanced Variable Rate Codec — (EVRC) is a speech codec used in CDMA networks. It was developed in 1995 to replace the QCELP vocoder which used more bandwidth on the carrier s network, thus EVRC s primary goal was to offer the mobile carriers more capacity on their networks… … Wikipedia

Numerically controlled oscillator — A numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) is a digital signal generator which creates a synchronous (i.e. clocked), discrete time, discrete valued representation of a waveform, usually sinusoidal.[1] NCOs are often used in conjunction with a… … Wikipedia
Intermittent energy source — An intermittent energy source is any source of energy that is not continuously available due to some factor outside direct control. The intermittent source may be quite predictable, for example, tidal power, but cannot be dispatched to meet the… … Wikipedia
Mortality rate — Crude death rate by country Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of… … Wikipedia
Voltage-controlled oscillator — A voltage controlled oscillator or VCO is an electronic oscillator designed to be controlled in oscillation frequency by a voltage input. The frequency of oscillation is varied by the applied DC voltage, while modulating signals may also be fed… … Wikipedia
Nonpoint source water pollution regulations in the United States — Nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution regulations are environmental regulations that restrict or limit water pollution from diffuse or nonpoint effluent sources such as polluted runoff from agricultural areas in a river catchments or wind borne… … Wikipedia
Failure rate — is the frequency with which an engineered system or component fails, expressed for example in failures per hour. It is often denoted by the Greek letter λ (lambda) and is important in reliability engineering. The failure rate of a system usually… … Wikipedia
