Encoder — An encoder is a device used to change a signal (such as a bitstream) or data into a code. The code may serve any of a number of purposes such as compressing information for transmission or storage, encrypting or adding redundancies to the input… … Wikipedia
Linear stage — A linear stage or translation stage is a component of a motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of motion. The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with linear stage , though technically linear slide refers to a… … Wikipedia
Linear actuator — TOC A linear actuator is a device that develops force and motion, from an available energy source, in a linear manner, as opposed to rotationally like an electric motor. There are various methods of achieving this linear motion. Several different … Wikipedia
Rotary encoder — A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro mechanical device used to convert the angular position of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code, making it an angle transducer. These devices are used in industrial controls,… … Wikipedia
Code-excited linear prediction — (CELP) is a speech coding algorithm originally proposed by M.R. Schroeder and B.S. Atal in 1985. At the time, it provided significantly better quality than existing low bit rate algorithms, such as residual excited linear prediction and linear… … Wikipedia
Pseudorandom encoder — A pseudorandom encoder is an electro mechanical device used for measuring distance and finding position. It is different from the conventional absolute and incremental encoder in its disk pattern, which gives it aspects of the other two… … Wikipedia
Auto-encoder — An auto encoder is an artificial neural network used for learning efficient codings.The aim of an auto encoder is to learn a compressed representation (encoding) for a set of data.This means it is being used for dimensionality reduction. More… … Wikipedia
Code excited linear prediction — (CELP) is a speech coding algorithm originally proposed by M.R. Schroeder and B.S. Atal in 1985. At the time, it provided significantly better quality than existing low bit rate algorithms, such as RELP and LPC vocoders (e.g. FS 1015). Along with … Wikipedia
Digital read out — DRO providing a three axis display with pitch circle calculator, diameter/radius conversion, absolute and incremental toggle, and inch metric toggle A digital read out (DRO) is a small computer (display unit) usually with an integrated keyboard… … Wikipedia
