A device that converts linear or rotary displacement into digital or pulse signals The most popular type of encoder is the optical encoder, which uses a rotating disk with alternating opaque areas, a light source, and a photodetector
a system that maintains constraints between attributes of a concept and properties of the grapheme representing it
1 On a telescope, a device for digitizing the position or rotation of a moving part, i e for reading the mechanical position of that part of the telescope structure into a numerical control system 2 In computing, a facility that encodes data to achieve compression, in contrast to a decoder, which decompresses data
The part of a CODEC that converts the audio into numbers and then mathematically compresses it
A digital circuit that takes one data input and provides equivalent output in binary or other number base, thus functioning in the opposite manner of a decoder
feedback device that utilizes an optical source and sensor to provide velocity and position information in the form of a digital signal; not readily adaptable to different environments
Circuit that converts information such as a decimal number or an alphabetic character into some coded form For example, circuit that coverts digits 0 through 9 to a binary code
The electromechanical device, which contains a means for measuring distance traveled along a magnetic stripe, used to produce flux reversals at specified locations along the stripe
(sensor) - a device that converts a linear or rotary displacement into digital representation
Component of the communication process in which information is translated from one form into another In speech, to encode is to translate ideas into spoken words A telephone mouthpiece serves as an encoder as it translates spoken sounds into electrical impulses
A program to compress digital audio data If you wanted to compress WAV´s into MP3´s or LiquidAudio you would have to use an encoder MPeX net Encoder
Apparatus consisting of a measuring standard and a scanning unit (transducer, sensor)
A feedback device which converts mechanical motion into electronic signals Usually an encoder is a rotary device that outputs digital pulses which correspond to incremental angular motion The encoder consists of a glass or metal wheel with alternating clear and opaque stripes that are detected by optical sensors to produce the digital outputs
A feedback device which converts mechanical motion into electronic signals Usually an encoder is a rotary device which outputs digital pulses which correspond to incremental angular motion Example: A 1000 line encoder produces 1000 pulses every mechanical revolution The encoder consists of a glass or metal wheel with alternating clear and opaque stripes which are detected by optical sensors to produce the digital outputs
A speedsensing device which outputs a frequency of pulses proportional to the measured line speed
A feedback device that translated mechanical motion into an electronic signal or combination of signals (pulses) Field Motor field windings provide the magnetic field, located in the stator of DC shunt-wound motor, which interacts with the armature field to produce torque PM motors use magnets, instead of windings, to produce the stator field
(n ) A facility that encodes data for the purpose of achieving data compression Frequently, the data to be encoded is video data, but other types of data, including audio, can be compressed as well Contrast with decoder See also cell encoding, data compression, entropy coding, H 261 encoding, hierarchical encoding, predictive encoding, run-length encoding, sequential encoding
The process of translating sound into symbols Encoding is the opposite of decoding Spelling requires encoding whereas reading requires decoding (Hall & Moats, 1999)
In general, to produce a string of symbols or numbers corresponding to an input value Particularly on the Internet, to produce a file that can be stored and transmitted using the Internet's usual routines from a file containing a data type the system isn't set up to handle Encoding is necessary because parts of the Internet, such as the mail system and Usenet newsgroups, were set up expecting only text files In order to transmit programs, spreadsheets, and other formatted files that might contain characters not allowed in text, as well as Macintosh files that contain multiple parts (forks), the files must be converted to a form that looks like text You then convert the files back to the original form as you download them, or you use a decoding utility afterwards For PC files and Unix programs, the most popular form of encoding is UUencoding For Macintosh files, it's BinHex To convert an analog signal, such as normal video, to its digital equivalent To "digitize" a signal
The compressing of a file (See "Compression") Encoding converts digital media files into stream-ready files and live feeds into streams Stream encoding adds indexed or "hinted" tracks that tell the streaming server how to package the media for transmission over the network
If you encode a message or some information, you put it into a code or express it in a different form or system of language. The two parties encode confidential data in a form that is not directly readable by the other party decode. to put a message or other information into code decode, decipher decipher
