Transparency (data compression)In data compression and psychoacoustics, transparency is the result of lossy data compression accurate enough that the compressed result is perceptually indistinguishable from the uncompressed input, i.e. perceptually lossless. A transparency threshold is a given value at which transparency is reached. It is commonly used to describe compressed data bitrates. For example, the transparency threshold for MP3 to linear PCM audio is said to be between 175 and 245 kbit/s, at 44.
Atmospheric modelIn atmospheric science, an atmospheric model is a mathematical model constructed around the full set of primitive, dynamical equations which govern atmospheric motions. It can supplement these equations with parameterizations for turbulent diffusion, radiation, moist processes (clouds and precipitation), heat exchange, soil, vegetation, surface water, the kinematic effects of terrain, and convection. Most atmospheric models are numerical, i.e. they discretize equations of motion.
Téléphonie large-bandeLa téléphonie large-bande se distingue de la téléphonie classique par une bande passante plus importante (50-7000 Hz) permettant d'améliorer sensiblement la qualité d'écoute. Les réseaux de téléphonie fixe et de téléphonie mobile standards permettent de transmettre la voix d'un correspondant entre 300 et 3400 Hz. La téléphonie large-bande utilise des codecs spécifiques comme le G.722, le G.722.2, le G.729.1 ou Opus Interactive Audio Codec Les services de téléphonie par internet (VoIP), par exemple Skype, utilisent la téléphonie large-bande.
