8 unusual facts about Digital data


Abbe refractometer

Some modern Abbe refractometers use a digital display for measurement, eliminating the need for discerning between small graduations.

Aprilia RS125

A digital gauge is added in place of the temperature gauge.

Digital Command Control

A DCC command station, in combination with its booster, modulates the voltage on the track to encode digital messages while providing electric power.

Optical reader

An optical reader is a device found within most computer scanners that captures visual information and translates the image into digital information the computer is capable of understanding and displaying.

State vs Ari David Levie

Overall, digital evidence is all data that is stored in an electronic format that can be used to demonstrate in some way that a crime has or has not been committed.

This case treats digital evidence as relevant to establish defendant’s credibility.

The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood

Research to improve these technologies ultimately led to our understanding the essentially digital nature of information, quantized down to the unit of the bit (or qubit).

The Patti Smith Masters

The box set contains 20-bit digitally remastered CD versions of the first 5 Patti Smith's albums with bonus tracks, and a 6th disc, Selected Songs.


Accounting Research Bulletins

Accounting Research Bulletins, available full-text at the links below from the University of Mississippi's Digital Collections, were documents issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure between 1938 and 1959 on various accounting problems.

Dominique Moulon

Here Moulon began his work documenting the historical record of the relationship between technology and digital forms of art, extending the historic work of Frank Popper, Jack Burnham and Gene Youngblood.

ExifTool

ExifTool is commonly incorporated into different types of digital workflows and supports many types of metadata including Exif, IPTC, XMP, JFIF, GeoTIFF, ICC Profile, Photoshop IRB, FlashPix, AFCP and ID3, as well as the manufacturer-specific metadata formats of many digital cameras.

FAO Country Profiles

The system was designed to integrate analytical and multilingual information with thematic databases and digital map repositories and to facilitate access to information on multiple factors contributing to national food insecurity.

John Cohn

Cohn has been an innovator in the area of design automation for both analog and digital custom integrated circuits.

Link 1

Link 1 is a point-to-point, duplex, non-encrypted, digital NATO Tactical Data Link (TDL) Standard for the automatic exchange of Track and Strobe data, combined with link and data management messages between ground based ASACS-elements / e.g. CRC and CAOC), specific units (TACCS / MC) and data link buffers (SSSB, CSI).

Literaturnaya

The digital version of Literaturnaya was developed at ParaGraph (ПараГраф) foundry in 1996 by Lyubov Kuznetsova.

Lords of Dharmaraja

As reported in The Times of India article, based on uploaded secret memos dated October 6, 2011, international mobile manufacturers like RIM, Apple, and Nokia along with domestic Micromax have given "backdoor access" for digital surveillance to Indian military intelligence officials in exchange for doing business in Indian market.

Mackie

The Mackie brand is used on professional music and recording equipment, such as mixing consoles, loudspeakers, studio monitors and DAW control surfaces, digital recording equipment and more.

Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts

Its facilities include digital screening rooms, postproduction, animation and interactive media laboratories; sound stages; high-end professional video production packages and an extensive digital and print library.

Selective calling

DCS or Digital-Coded Squelch superimposes a continuous stream of FSK digital data, at 134.5 baud, on the transmitted signal.

Two from the Vault

Almost twenty-four years later, Don Pearson and producer Dan Healy solved this problem by employing a B&K 2032 Fast Fourier transform (FFT) digital spectrum analyzer to measure the delay in time between the different microphones, using the track of bassist Phil Lesh as the time centerpiece.

By speeding up Morse code using an audio tape recorder (this is an obsolete method), or using a computer and digital modes such as JT6M or FSK441, very short high speed bursts of digital data can be bounced off the ionized gas trail of meteor showers.

ADTRAN

ADTRAN has become a supplier of local loop access and deployment products for fiber, DS3, T1/E1, wireless T1/E1, Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL, HDSL2, HDSL4, SDSL, SHDSL), Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and Digital Data Service (DDS) digital services.

Kenwood has offered lines of HF, VHF/UHF, and portable amateur radio models, including some with built-in digital data modes (Automatic Packet Reporting System, built on AX.25 packet radio) and modems needed to send and receive these protocols.

Vertical blanking interval

In analog television systems the vertical blanking interval can be used for datacasting (to carry digital data), since nothing sent during the VBI is displayed on the screen; various test signals, time codes, closed captioning, teletext, CGMS-A copy-protection indicators, and various data encoded by the XDS protocol (e.g., the content ratings for V-chip use) and other digital data can be sent during this time period.
