Fuseau horaireUn fuseau horaire est une zone de la surface terrestre qui observe une heure uniforme en tout lieu. Pour des raisons pratiques, ces fuseaux ont tendance à suivre les frontières des pays ou de leurs subdivisions. Généralement, ils diffèrent du temps universel coordonné d'un nombre d'heures entiers, mais quelques-uns sont décalés de 30 ou 45 minutes. Aux latitudes élevées, certains pays font en plus usage d'une heure d'été pendant une partie de l'année, modifiant ainsi leur fuseau horaire.
Railway signallingRailway signalling ( ()), also called railroad signaling ( ()), is a system used to control the movement of railway traffic. Trains move on fixed rails, making them uniquely susceptible to collision. This susceptibility is exacerbated by the enormous weight and inertia of a train, which makes it difficult to quickly stop when encountering an obstacle. In the UK, the Regulation of Railways Act 1889 introduced a series of requirements on matters such as the implementation of interlocked block signalling and other safety measures as a direct result of the Armagh rail disaster in that year.
Intervalle unitéEn mathématique, l'intervalle unité est l'intervalle fermé [0,1], c'est-à-dire, l'ensemble de tous les nombres réels qui sont supérieurs ou égaux à 0 et inférieurs ou égaux à 1. Il est souvent noté I. Dans la littérature, le terme "intervalle unité" est parfois appliqué à d'autres intervalles : (0,1], [0,1), et (0,1). Cependant, la notation I est généralement réservée à l'intervalle fermé [0,1]. L'intervalle unité est un espace métrique complet.
Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
Queuing delayIn telecommunication and computer engineering, the queuing delay or queueing delay is the time a job waits in a queue until it can be executed. It is a key component of network delay. In a switched network, queuing delay is the time between the completion of signaling by the call originator and the arrival of a ringing signal at the call receiver. Queuing delay may be caused by delays at the originating switch, intermediate switches, or the call receiver servicing switch.
Temps solaireOn distingue le temps solaire moyen et le temps solaire vrai. Le temps solaire moyen est fondé sur un soleil fictif qui se déplacerait autour de l'équateur à vitesse constante tout au long de l'année. Cette vitesse moyenne est d'un tour en 24 heures. Le temps solaire vrai est une mesure du temps basée sur le déplacement apparent du Soleil au cours de la journée. Le temps solaire vrai en un lieu et à un moment donné est l'angle horaire du soleil en ce lieu et à ce moment.
Fibré des repèresEn géométrie différentielle, un fibré des repères est un certain type de fibré principal qui correspond à un fibré vectoriel sur une variété différentielle. Les points du fibré des repères sont les repères linéaires des fibres du fibré vectoriel correspondant. L'exemple le plus commun de fibré des repères est le fibré des repères tangents correspondant au fibré tangent d'une variété différentielle.
TonTon is the name of any one of several units of measure. It has a long history and has acquired several meanings and uses. Mainly it describes units of mass. Confusion can arise because ton can mean the long ton, which is the short ton, which is the tonne, also called the metric ton, which is 1,000 kilograms (about 2,204.6226218 pounds) or 1 megagram. Its original use as a measurement of volume has continued in the capacity of cargo ships and in terms such as the freight ton and a number of other units, ranging from in capacity.
Time–frequency representationA time–frequency representation (TFR) is a view of a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency. Time–frequency analysis means analysis into the time–frequency domain provided by a TFR. This is achieved by using a formulation often called "Time–Frequency Distribution", abbreviated as TFD. TFRs are often complex-valued fields over time and frequency, where the modulus of the field represents either amplitude or "energy density" (the concentration of the root mean square over time and frequency), and the argument of the field represents phase.
End-to-end delayEnd-to-end delay or one-way delay (OWD) refers to the time taken for a packet to be transmitted across a network from source to destination. It is a common term in IP network monitoring, and differs from round-trip time (RTT) in that only path in the one direction from source to destination is measured. The ping utility measures the RTT, that is, the time to go and come back to a host. Half the RTT is often used as an approximation of OWD but this assumes that the forward and back paths are the same in terms of congestion, number of hops, or quality of service (QoS).
Traitement du signalLe traitement du signal est la discipline qui développe et étudie les techniques de traitement, d'analyse et d' des . Parmi les types d'opérations possibles sur ces signaux, on peut dénoter le contrôle, le filtrage, la compression et la transmission de données, la réduction du bruit, la déconvolution, la prédiction, l'identification, la classification Bien que cette discipline trouve son origine dans les sciences de l'ingénieur (particulièrement l'électronique et l'automatique), elle fait aujourd'hui largement appel à de nombreux domaines des mathématiques, comme la , les processus stochastiques, les espaces vectoriels et l'algèbre linéaire et des mathématiques appliquées, notamment la théorie de l'information, l'optimisation ou encore l'analyse numérique.
Short tonThe short ton (abbreviation tn) is a measurement unit equal to . It is commonly used in the United States, where it is known simply as a ton, although the term is ambiguous, the single word being variously used for short, long, and metric ton. The various tons are defined as units of mass. They are sometimes used as units of weight, the force exerted by a mass at standard gravity (e.g., short ton-force). One short ton exerts a weight at one standard gravity of 2,000 pound-force (lbf).
