Transputers. At higher levels of coimectedness there is a wide variety of parallel computers. A great many parallel computers have been built using INMOS Transputer chips. Individual Transputer chips mn at 2 MELOPS or greater. Transputer chips have four communication channels, so the chips can readily be intercoimected into a two-dimensional mesh network or into any other interconnection scheme where individual nodes are four-coimected. Most Transputer systems have been built as additions to existing host computers and are SIMD type. Each Transputer has a relatively small local memory as well as access to the host s memory through the interconnection network. Not surprisingly, problems that best utilize local memory tend to achieve better performance than those that make more frequent accesses to host memory. Systems that access fast local memory and slower shared memory are often referred to as NUMA, nonuniform memory access, architecture. 

The program latmch should be prominently featured and explained in company communication channels such as newsletters and in-house magazines. 

Relays have inputs from several current transformers (CTs) and the zone of protection is bounded by these CTs. While the CTs provide the ability to detect a fault inside the zone, circuit breakers (CBs) provide the ability to isolate the fault by disconnecting all of the power equipment within the zone. Thus, a zone bonndai y is usually defined by a CT and a CB. When the CT is part of the CB it becomes a natural zone boundaiy. When the CT is not an integral part of the CB, special attention must be paid to the fault detection and fault interruption logic. The CT still defines the zone of protection, but communication channels must be used to implement the tripping function. Figure 1 shows the zones of protection in a typical system. 

Discrete Memoryless Channel.—We can define a communication channel in terms of the statistical relationship between its input and output. The channels we consider here have sequences of symbols from finite alphabets both for input and output. Let the input alphabet consist of K symbols denoted by xx, - , xK, and let the output alphabet consist of J symbols denoted by ylt , y. Each unit of time the coder can choose any one of the K input symbols for transmission, and one of the J output symbols will appear at the channel output. Due to noise in the channel, the output will not be determined uniquely from the input, but instead will be a random event satisfying a probability measure. We let Pr(yi a fc) be the probability of receiving the f output symbol when the kttl input symbol is transmitted. These transition probabilities are assumed to be independent of time and independent of previous transmissions. More precisely, let... 

Continuous Memoryless Channels.—The coding theorem of the last section will be extended here to the following three types of channel models channels with discrete input and continuous output channels with continuous input and continuous output and channels with band limited time functions for input and output. Although these models are still somewhat crude approximations to most physical communication channels, they still provide considerable insight into the effects of the noise and the relative merits of various transmission and detection schemes.

Communication channels shall be set up between industry and academics. There has been inconsistency with regards to the characterization of foundry solid waste between industry and academics. The former cares about the workability and efficiency of materials in generating products. The latter concentrate on the technical behavior of materials if reused. The way that metal casters define the characteristics of their sands is completely different from what the contractor wants to know. For example, metal casters talk about ground fineness number, whereas contractors want to know fine and clay contents. At the point of reusing their solid waste, metal casters should divert their attention from regulators and customers to researchers, working within a well channeled system. 

Other cycles can be horizontal one that does not deliver new user-visible functionality but instead carries a minimal use case through increasingly deep layers of the application and infrastructure components, exercising all communication channels. An example is a single user interaction carried from the user interface through the business object layer via an object request broker (ORB) to the applicable databases and back. 

If we look at the content of the information which is transferred between interactants, we find that facial information is used for decoding tendencies of dominance and positive affect (Rosenthal and Depaulo, 1979). Ekman et al. (1980) gave information from seven different communicative channels only facial information, only bodily information, speech, filtered voice, transcribed speech content, and combinations of voice and speech, voice, body and speech. In this research none of the presented channels was dominating the others in the transfer of meaning. 

This equation was first defined and used in a non-thermodynamic context by Shannon [1] when working with problems of the capacity of communication channels, and the transmission of signals down noisy lines. Suppose we have m constraints, expressed as expectation values, ),...

The laboratory top management establishes communication channels within the laboratory departments that ertsure effective and efficient operation of the laboratory. Activities that help corrrmrmication include for example, meetings, irrformation on notice boards, a laboratory jotrmal , e-mails and web sites, employee strrveys and suggestion schemes etc.
