Common lawthumb|450px|Les systèmes juridiques dans le monde. La common law est un système juridique dont les règles sont principalement édictées par les tribunaux au fur et à mesure des décisions individuelles. La jurisprudence est ainsi la principale source du droit et la règle du précédent oblige les juges à suivre les décisions prises antérieurement par les tribunaux. Les systèmes de common law laissent toutefois place à de nombreuses lois. Historiquement, la common law est un système issu du droit anglais.
Canal de communication (théorie de l'information)vignette En théorie de l'information, un canal de communication ou canal de transmission est un support (physique ou non) permettant la transmission d'une certaine quantité d'information, depuis une source (ou émetteur) vers un destinataire (ou récepteur). Souvent, le canal altère l'information transmise, par exemple en ajoutant un bruit aléatoire. La quantité d'information qu'un canal de communication peut transporter est limitée : on parle de capacité du canal.
Corner detectionCorner detection is an approach used within computer vision systems to extract certain kinds of features and infer the contents of an image. Corner detection is frequently used in motion detection, , video tracking, image mosaicing, panorama stitching, 3D reconstruction and object recognition. Corner detection overlaps with the topic of interest point detection. A corner can be defined as the intersection of two edges. A corner can also be defined as a point for which there are two dominant and different edge directions in a local neighbourhood of the point.
Microprocesseur multi-cœurvignette|Un processeur quad-core AMD Opteron. vignette|L’Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 est un processeur double cœur. Un microprocesseur multi-cœur (multi-core en anglais) est un microprocesseur possédant plusieurs cœurs physiques fonctionnant simultanément. Il se distingue d'architectures plus anciennes (360/91) où un processeur unique commandait plusieurs circuits de calcul simultanés. Un cœur (en anglais, core) est un ensemble de circuits capables d’exécuter des programmes de façon autonome.
Channel access methodIn telecommunications and computer networks, a channel access method or multiple access method allows more than two terminals connected to the same transmission medium to transmit over it and to share its capacity. Examples of shared physical media are wireless networks, bus networks, ring networks and point-to-point links operating in half-duplex mode. A channel access method is based on multiplexing, that allows several data streams or signals to share the same communication channel or transmission medium.
Blob detectionIn computer vision, blob detection methods are aimed at detecting regions in a that differ in properties, such as brightness or color, compared to surrounding regions. Informally, a blob is a region of an image in which some properties are constant or approximately constant; all the points in a blob can be considered in some sense to be similar to each other. The most common method for blob detection is convolution.
Code BaudotLe code Baudot est dans l'histoire un des premiers codages des caractères binaires. Il est plus ancien que le code ASCII par exemple. Il est aussi appelé code télégraphique Alphabet International (AI) ou Alphabet International (AI) ou code CCITT . C'est un code binaire : chaque caractère est codé par une série de (0 ou 1), ce qui permet 2 = . Ces ne suffisent pas pour coder les lettres (26), les chiffres (10), les signes opératoires (+-/x=), la ponctuation (, ;.:!?), et les autres symboles (&, #..
Gamma waveA gamma wave or gamma rhythm is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans with a frequency between 25 and 140 Hz, the 40 Hz point being of particular interest. Gamma rhythms are correlated with large scale brain network activity and cognitive phenomena such as working memory, attention, and perceptual grouping, and can be increased in amplitude via meditation or neurostimulation. Altered gamma activity has been observed in many mood and cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia.
Detection theoryDetection theory or signal detection theory is a means to measure the ability to differentiate between information-bearing patterns (called stimulus in living organisms, signal in machines) and random patterns that distract from the information (called noise, consisting of background stimuli and random activity of the detection machine and of the nervous system of the operator). In the field of electronics, signal recovery is the separation of such patterns from a disguising background.
Wireless network interface controllerA wireless network interface controller (WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, rather than a wired network, such as a Token Ring or Ethernet. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna to communicate via radio waves. A wireless network interface controller may be implemented as an expansion card and connected using PCI bus or PCIe bus, or connected via USB, PC Card, ExpressCard, Mini PCIe or M.
