  2. Analog computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

    TR-10 desktop analog computer of the late 1960s and early 1970s. An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computer that uses the continuous variation aspect of physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic quantities ( analog signals) to model the problem being solved.

  3. Analogue electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogue_electronics

    Analogue electronics ( American English: analog electronics) are electronic systems with a continuously variable signal, in contrast to digital electronics where signals usually take only two levels. The term analogue describes the proportional relationship between a signal and a voltage or current that represents the signal.

  4. Data acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_acquisition

    Data acquisition. Data acquisition is the process of sampling signals that measure real-world physical conditions and converting the resulting samples into digital numeric values that can be manipulated by a computer. Data acquisition systems, abbreviated by the acronyms DAS, DAQ, or DAU, typically convert analog waveforms into digital values ...

  5. Prostaglandin analogue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostaglandin_analogue

    Prostaglandin analogues such as misoprostol are used in treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers. [2] Misoprostol and other prostaglandin analogues protect the lining of the gastrointestinal tract from harmful stomach acid and are especially indicated for the elderly on continuous doses of NSAIDs . In the field of ophthalmology, drugs of this ...

  6. Analog signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_signal

    An analog signal is subject to electronic noise and distortion introduced by communication channels, recording and signal processing operations, which can progressively degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). As the signal is transmitted, copied, or processed, the unavoidable noise introduced in the signal path will accumulate as a generation ...

  7. Pulse-amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-amplitude_modulation

    ΔΣM. OFDM. FDM. Multiplexing. v. t. e. Pulse-amplitude modulation ( PAM) is a form of signal modulation where the message information is encoded in the amplitude of a series of signal pulses. It is an analog pulse modulation scheme in which the amplitudes of a train of carrier pulses are varied according to the sample value of the message signal.

  8. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Checking tire pressure with a spring and piston tire-pressure gauge. Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid ( liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area. Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum.

  9. Analog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog

    Analog (program), a computer program that analyzes log files from web servers. Analogical models, a method of representing a phenomenon of the world by another, more understandable or analyzable system. Functional analog (chemistry), a compound with similar properties. Structural analog, a compound with an altered chemical structure.
