A data transmission mode that provides transmission in one direction only See FULL DUPLEX and HALF DUPLEX
A mode of communication where a person either talks or listens, but not both at a time When operating a two way radio on a simplex radio channel, the transmitter and receiver operate on the same frequency, and the operator cannot listen while he is talking
{i} simple word, word that is not compounded (Linguistics); Euclidean geometrical spatial element that has the smallest number of boundary points (Mathematics); one-floor apartment
A radio technology that allows only one-way communication The FM radio in your car, or your TV set, could be viewed as simplex devices
A system in which only one signal can be transmitted at a time (normally used to indicate that only one channel of dual channel radar is transmitting)
Defunct French component manufacturer, one of the earliest makers of derailers They are best known in the U S for the cheap plastic derailers supplied on millions of Bike Boom ten speeds Simplex also made a "retrofriction" down-tube shift lever that is considered by many to be the finest pre-index shift lever ever See also my page on French bicycles
(pl simplices) {x in R^n+: Sum{x_j} = 1} For n=1, this is a point (x=1) For n=2, this is a line segment, joining points (1,0) and (0,1) For n=3, this is a triangle, joining the vertices (1,0,0), (0,1,0), and (0,0,1) This is sometimes called an n-simplex, denoted by S_n (note its dimension is n-1) The open simplex excludes the axes: {x in S_n: x > 0}
Simplex is a transmission path capable of transmitting signals in only one direction
having only one part or element; "a simplex word has no affixes and is not part of a compound--like `boy' compared with `boyish' or `house' compared with `houseboat'
