Slow scan video |
A device that transmits and receives still video pictures over a narrow telecommunications channel. |
Transmission of static images or audio-video clips to a remote data storage device, from which they can be retrieved by a medical practitioner for review and consultation at any time, obviating the need for the simultaneous availability of the consulting parties and reducing transmission costs due to low bandwidth requ... |
A technique for transferring data (usually over the Internet) in a continuous flow to allow large multimedia files to be viewed before the entire file has been downloaded to a client's computer. |
In communications systems, a mechanical, electro-mechanical, or electronic device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in or among circuits. Also known as the process by which one transfers a connection from one circuit to another. In a computer program, a conditional instruction and a flag that is interro... |
Synchronous transmission |
The process by which bits are transmitted at a fixed rate with the transmitter and receiver synchronized, eliminating the need for start/stop elements, thus providing greater efficiency. |
T1 (DS1) |
A type of telephone line service offering high-speed data or voice access, with a transmission rate of 1.544 Mbps. It is also known as D1. |
T3 (DS3) |
A digital transmission system for high volume voice, data, or compressed video traffic, with a transmission rate of 44.736 Mbps. It is also known as D3. |
The use of wire, radio, visual, or other electromagnetic channels to transmit or receive signals for voice, data, and video communications. |
Interactive electronic communication between multiple users at two or more sites which facilitates voice, video, and/or data transmission systems: audio, audiographics, computer, and video systems. |
The physical separation between multiple providers during a consultation. |
The detection of a disease as a result of evaluating data transmitted to a receiving station from instruments monitoring a remote patient. |
The use of information processing based on a computer in telecommunications, and the use of telecommunications to permit computers to transfer programs and data to one another. |
The use of electronic communication and information technologies to provide or support clinical care at a distance. Included in this definition are patient counseling, case management, and supervision/preceptorship of rural medical residents and health professions students when such supervising/precepting involves dire... |
Telementoring (1) |
The use of audio, video, and other telecommunications and electronic information processing technologies to provide individual guidance or direction. An example of this help may involve a consultant aiding a distant clinician in a new medical procedure. |
Telemonitoring (2) |
The method of using robotic and other instruments that permit a clinician to perform a procedure at a remote location, by manipulating devices and receiving feedback or sensory information, that contributes to a sense of being present at the remote site and allows a satisfactory degree of technical achievement. For exa... |
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) |
The underlying communications rules and procedures that allow computers to interact with each other on the Internet. |
Transmission Speed |
The speed at which information passes over a communications channel, generally given in either bits per second (bps) or baud. |
Actual-time, generally two way transmission of digitized video images between multiple locations; uses telecommunications to bring people at physically remote locations together for meetings. Each individual location in a videoconferencing system requires a room equipped to send and receive video. |
A telephone that is coupled to an imaging device that enables the call receiver or the call originator, or both, to view one another as on television, if they so desire; a military communications terminal that has video teleconference capability, is usually configured as a small desktop unit, designed for one operator,... |
Video teleconference (ing) (VTC) |
A teleconference that includes video communications, specifically pertaining to a two-way electronic communications system that permits two or more persons in different locations to engage in the equivalent of face-to-face audio and video communications. Note: Video teleconferences may be conducted as if all of the par... |
Virtual Private Network (VPN) |
The provision of private voice and data networking from the public switched network through advanced public switches. The network connection appears to the user as an end-to-end, nailed-up circuit without actually involving a permanent physical connection, as in the case of a leased line. VPNs retain the advantages of ... |
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) |
A computer network using inter-networks as data links that are transparent for users and that do not have restrictions on protocols, so that the network has the characteristics of a local area network. |
Virtual Reality |
A computer-based technology for simulating visual, auditory, and other sensory aspects of complex environments to create an illusion of being a three-dimensional world. The world is designed by the computer and viewed through a special headset that responds to head movements while a glove responds to hand movements. Fo... |
Wide Area-Network (WAN) |
Data communication networks that links together distant networks and their computers to provide long-haul connectivity between separate networks located in different geographic areas. |
Descriptive of a network or terminal that uses electromagnetic waves (including rf, infrared, laser, visible light-and acoustic energy) rather than wire conductors for telecommunications. |
World-Wide Web (WWW) |
The universe of accessible information, including graphics, sound, text and video accessible through the Internet. The Web has a body of software, a set of protocols and defined conventions for accessing such information, including HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the Web's software language, and TCP/IP, a family of n... |

Nevada Mining |
By: Alana Adams |

"When I went to bed last night, the story was 12 guys survived and I got up this morning and found out that wasn't true at all." |
Bert Bellows was a miner in Nevada for 25 years, spending ten of those years working in an underground mine. |
He says hard rock mining in Nevada is very different from the coal mining in West Virginia that killed 12 people this week, but despite differences the danger still exists. |
"One of the things about coal mining that makes it very dangerous is the atmosphere created by the material you are mining." |
He says that methane could easily be exposed when you cut into a rock and ignite a spark in the process, the combination creates an instant explosion, he says, that can happen despite any safeguards. |
However, Alan Coyner with the Nevada Division of Minerals, says this type of explosion will not happen in Nevada. |
"We have no coal and coal is the material that creates the methane gas that caused the explosion in West Virginia. Again, we have no coal in Nevada, so an explosion is not possible here." |
Bellows was involved with mine rescue training for six years, and he says, everyone who works in underground mines is equipped and trained to survive until a rescue, but the mix of methane gas in the West Virginia mine quickly made the entire space deep into the mountain a deadly environment because of the lack of oxyg... |
"If they survive the initial explosion that's what you do, barricade and wait for somebody to come get you because if you try to hike two miles to what you think is safety, one breath of this atmosphere and you'll be gone." |

Hi. I have a few unrelated questions regarding automake. |
1. I'm maintaining a library that uses automake. After building my |
library, I have test programs that run via `make check' to confirm |
that everything's working properly. These programs need to link into |
the built (but not installed library). These programs are in a |
subdirectory called tests/ and my src is in a subdirectory called |
`src/'. Am I doing the right thing by specifying `LDADD = |
