Additional additions

[Gary Hinson]

Mornin' friends.

I've re-ordered the 'changes' page at Hyperglossary dotcom to list the most recent additions at the top, so you can see what I've been working on lately (well, the 'plain English' first lines from the definitions, anyway, without the hyperlinks and references - just a hint, really, a taster).

The newest entries are pretty raw.  It takes me 'a while' to reconsider and refine the definitions, and even mature entries get revisited and updated occasionally - typically in the process of adding hyperlinks from keywords in new definitions to the older entries, or when I work my way through the text looking for loose ends.  

Anyway, comments, corrections, complaints and changes are always welcome, especially for the raw stuff, plus suggestions for more terms to define.  There are over 650 additions to the 5,555 entries in the book ... and 'the end' remains as distant as ever.

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

Gary

Good morning Gary

Some additional items for your consideration

From Baudot code
Perhaps include a variation of this code in the form of the Murray Code, and a combined variation, Baudot-Murray Code.
Perhaps include the baud, as in baud rate, a signalling unit of measure, but where the baud rate does not mean bit rate, as in bits per second (bps) or the number of digital bits transmitted/processed in a given period.

Spread Spectrum
Regarding Frequency Hop Spread Spectrum (FH SS); a serious nod, perhaps, to Hedy Lamarr (actor, inventor) who, during WW2, with composer George Antheil, was a awarded a US patent for the concept of FH SS to provide jam (as in jammer) free guidance mechanism for torpedoes.
Some additional purposes of spread spectrum (Source: R.C. Dixon, Spread Spectrum Systems, John Wiley*& Sons 1976 ... a little light rreading in my younger days)
• Selective addressing using code division multiplexing for multiple access
• Low, lower than would be conventional, density power spectra for signal hiding
• Message screening (similar in someways to selective addressing)
• High resolution ranging
• Interference rejection

Granted, life has moved on a tad with spread spectrum systems, now with the advent of 6G and the use of wide bandwidth in the THz frequency range.

A good addition, and support for the difference between signalling and data transmission (the difference between the physical and data link layers).

(With perhaps a minor nod to player pianos?  :-)

My ultimate fantasy is having a brain that lets me enjoy being alive.

[Gary Hinson]

Thanks both.

Baud - yes, I'll add it, while "bode or bored?  bode or bored?" is silently rattling around my skull.

Murray & Baudot-Murray - I need to research.  I've heard of them but can't remember the details.  Brain like a sieve.

FHSS - mmmm, I'm not sure of the value of acknowledging the inventor or the pianolas but those other [security-related] advantages are of interest.  Leave it with me.

This morning I added human-in-the-loop and variants thereof, and that sparked a little thought about governance, oversight, assurance and control of AIs which turned into a little LinkDin.  I'm still pondering the idea of AIs providing oversight/control of other AIs - the sort of thing that some industry regulators and auditors are presumably busy building.  It feels very uncomfortable and risky but I'm not entirely sure why.  Must take my anti-pro-paranoia meds.

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

Gary

As long as the hyperglossary doesn't get too baudy ... 

[Gary Hinson]

Here's Baudot and baudrate, so far:

I'm adding bitrate plus 'symbol' and 'symbolic' too.

A productive day.  Not baud at all.

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

Gary

Good morning All

Baud-i-licous ...

Do understand that including a nod to Ms Lamarr may well be a case of, heading down a different path. 

Piconet and Scatternet

Piconet - ad hoc network of Bluetooth devices; 1 x primary and 7 x active devices. Uses FH SS 

Scatternet - ad hoc network of 2 or more piconets

I note that Zigbee protocol is mentioned - an example where Direct Sequence SS (DS SS) can be used, and where a mesh network of home (and other locations) smart devices (switches, light bulbs, gas/electric smart meters - groan) are in play. 

Sorry if the physical and MAC sublayer stuff is causing a headache.

Nigel.

Headache?  Nah, just a bit of a workout for the old grey matter.

Thanks for pico and scatter nets, and a prompt to explore.check/cover variants of Spread Spectrum.  First though, a different spread: Marmite on toast.  Yum.

Kind regards/Ngā mihi,

Gary
