Portal talk:Engineering

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Robbed-bit signaling

message: From the article: "Although only one bit out of 48 is robbed, there is no way to know which frames will be robbed by the various T1 connections in a phone conversation, so the signal to noise ratio will be somewhere between 31 and 37 dB." I thought that bit-robbing stamped on the LSB of every 6th sample in every DS0 channel carried in the T1 (I think that's correct; I'm not a telephone engineer, can anyone check this?), so it should be possible to calculate the SNR exactly from this. -- The Anome 11:10, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The robbed bit is indeed every 6th sample. However, that 6th sample is not aligned with the other "6th sample" from other T-1s arriving at a central office. For switching the T-1s arriving at a central office, all the timeslots must be aligned, that is, all the incoming T-1s are buffered so that all the TS1 arrive together. However, this does not insure that all the 6th samples are aligned. As a result, in the outgoing digital stream, the new signaling bits will rob the 6th sample of whatever is defined as 6th outgoing, which is not necessary the same as the incoming 6th.
In the beginning of T-1 system design in 1958, the objective was to be good enough as an "exchange carrier", that is, voice transmission within a city. This required only 7 bits per channel. The 8th bit is dedicated to signaling. Intercity transmission was still by analog carriers. Later, when T-1 was adapted to intercity long haul use, 8 bits were required. Thus the robbed bit signaling method was invented, which achieved almost 8-bit performance. When compared to analog systems, where signal to noise would degrade with distance, T-1 with robbed bit signaling was acceptable. Its signal-to-noise degrades with distance, but slower compared to analog and tops at 6 dB. LoopTel 07:24, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Barbarika

message: Barbareek did not fight in the great battle of Mahabharat, He was the only Spectator of the war as he had donated his head to the land of Kurukshetra before starting of the great war. To know more about this prefer Khatushyamji.
:I've taken the story of Barkarika from the 'Puranic Encyclopaedia' of Vettam Mani, which tends to be my primary sources on these matters. It says (replacing the spelling of the names with common spellings) "The great war stanted, and Barbarika, fighting on the side of the Pandavas started using his weapon Vibhuti. He sent it against all except .... the weapon fell at the feet of Krishna also. Enraged at this, Krishna ... cut off his head."  Also the name there is as I've spelt it, with a single short 'i'; not the long 'ii' which the English often represent with 'ee', e.g. Gita/Geeta. Imc 16:36, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

message: :: I definately see your point here.  But, I personally don't feel that I was ever "stalking" Maoririder.  I was doing a lot of New Pages patrol during that time.  And his articles were comming up on NP a lot, as he was creating many new articles. Most of these articles had formatting problems, and some did have lack of context to the point that they violated CSD A1.  It seemed appropriate, rather than to constantly fix his articles or tag them CSD, to try and work with him to improve his editing.

thread_title:  Ford Ecoboost 1.6 is Sigma based not Mazda Z based 

message: An edit war appears to have broken out about the subject of the Z6 being timing or belt driven.
I purchased a Mazda3 2004 1.6 TS2, UK spec. It is timing chain driven. This article was actually the source of much confusion, as I asked about the cambelt history and was humbled when I discovered upon examination that this was not the case, and other websites and pictures of the engine corroborate it being chain based - there is no exposed casing for the belt, but an enclosed engine casing which the chain is hidden in.
I appreciate this is original research, but the original article stating that they are all chain driven is correct, and the information to the contrary under the Z6 section is plainly wrong.
To the person that edited it to say this was a drive belt, under the basis that you own the vehicle - either you have a different engine, or are mistaken. There possibly exists a 115hp Mazda 1.6 engine, a version I believe uses a belt. The 105hp categorically does not, and a visual examination of any Z6 for sale online demonstrates this.
