Talk:Delta modulation

message: I believe the comment in the first line should be changed to delete the comment-used for transmission of voice information where quality is not of primary importance-.  The section below about SBS shows that statement is not correct.  I developed a Delta Mod for the SBS satellite controller that achieved full voice quality. Also the section on Applicaitons should be modified or replaced by my section on SBS Aplicaiton for the same reason.  I would be happy to make the changes but am not certain I have the authority.

thread_title: Delta Modulation

message: With ideal behaviour of the building blocks, the network presented in the Principle section would not work (infinite frequency). With a little hysteresis, the frequency would be finite but variable. This would not be called a modulation technique (no carrier to be modulated).

thread_title:  the working of delta modulation 

message: Delta-sigma modulation came after delta modulation and has several advantages over it. But my question is are there any situations where delta-modulation has a genuine engineering advantage over delta-sigma modulation.  Delta-sigma modulation#Improvements over delta modulation currently points out several downsides to delta modulation:
: Delta modulation only encodes the signal's change (its delta) rather than its amplitude...
: Because delta modulation represents differentiation, it is unable to carry the DC component, its dynamic range and SNR are inversely proportional to signal frequency, and it is susceptible to transmission disturbances that result in an accumulative error. Delta-sigma modulation rearranges the position of the integrator and quantizer, so that the output carries information corresponding to the amplitude of the input signal instead of just its derivative. This also has the benefit of incorporating desirable noise shaping into the conversion process, to deliberately moves quantization noise to frequencies higher than the signal.
Another problem with plain-vanilla (non-adaptive) delta modulation mentioned in this article is slope overload and in granuality.
Can we say that Delta Modulation is basically obsolete now? Em3rgent0rdr (talk) 02:06, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Category talk:Secessionist organizations

message: Either this category is misnamed or most of the articles in it shouldn't be there.  Secession is withdrawal from a federation.  If Brittany became independent from France, that wouldn't be secession, because France is a unitary state, not a federal state.  Again, Britain is a unitary state from a constitutional point of view - Scotland has its own parliament but legally no sovereignty - so Scottish independence wouldn't constitute secession.  Nor, in my view, would Basque or Catalan independence from Spain be secession.  Manx independence would certainly not be secession because Man isn't a part of the UK in any event, so even if independence from the UK could be classified as secession, which it can't, this wouldn't be it.  How about "List of Independence Movements" or "List of Pro-Independence Organizations"?  "Separatism" would cover almost everything on the list (though perhaps not the Isle of Man because, as stated, although under the British Crown, it isn't part of the UK so wouldn't be separating if it became independent), but "separatism" is sometimes taken to be a pejorative, so "independence movements" is probably the best one can do.  Apart from the US-based organizations, very little on the list could be legitimately be classed as secessionist. RichardQ 10:19, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Appropriate category?=

message: Secession is a strategy for independence. Independence movements can exist without having a secessionist strategy. So merging them muddies the waters of who is or isn't a secessionist group. It makes all the groups in independence look like secessionists, which those groups might object to.  CarolMooreDC (talk) 23:55, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Table standardization 

message: Neither the 'history', the 'article' nor anywhere in wikispace (that I've looked so far) mentions the present or previous 'Justice Circuit Assignments'. This material should probably be included in a separate 'article' with intro and links to the several courts and justices 'articles'. There is an extensive and complicated history on this, considering all the justices there have been and how the compositions of the federal judicial circuits have changed. Ex: After Associate Justice Alito's appointment, circuits were assigned as follows[2]:
For the D.C. Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
For the First Circuit, David H. Souter
For the Second Circuit, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
For the Third Circuit, David H. Souter
For the Fourth Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
For the Fifth Circuit, Antonin G. Scalia
For the Sixth Circuit, John Paul Stevens
For the Seventh Circuit, John Paul Stevens
For the Eighth Circuit, Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
For the Ninth Circuit, Anthony M. Kennedy
For the Tenth Circuit, Stephen G. Breyer
For the Eleventh Circuit, Clarence Thomas
For the Federal Circuit, John G. Roberts, Jr.
I'm still trying to find out the assignments since Sotomayor was appointed.

Talk:Russian nihilist movement

message: I know some sources that state that Nihilism was a cultural movement, as I will add to the page. Some people, in face of the hardening of the Tsarist rule, recurred later to violence, and that was a separate thing. The Tzarist government also used it to attack the real nihilists and give them a bad name, as they were asking for more democracy and for the abolition of servitude in Russia. These are the references:

thread_title: The Big Lebowski picture

message: Andre Glucksmann claims that a nihilist may pose as a nationalist, Marxist, or a religious fundamentalist, but these are simply alibis. The only thing that motivates them is hatred.
He writes about a visit he made to Chechnya in 2000, when he met a top boss in the secret service, who, after being bribed, enabled him to cross various control points. Gluckmann notes that he wore a golden chain bracelet upon which was engraved: "Get what you want."
When his friend Hans Christoph Buch said to a Liberian child soldier carrying a loaded Kalashnikov, "You could be killing your mother or father," he replied, "Why not?"
For Glucksmann, Islamic groups in Algeria who play football with human heads, and the terrorist in Iraq who blows up passers-by both possess the same nihilistic spirit, a "morality of why not."
In "Le Discours de la Haine" (2004) Glucksmann argues that terrorist violence has nothing to do with opposing misery and repression. These are just an excuse to give free reign to brutality. Indeed they seek to bring about misery and repression:
"Some feel they've been called upon by God, others feel liberated by the absence of God and all conventions. Both...kill profligately, because they feel they have the right to do anything."
