First launched in 1970, the company built all 23 reconnaissance satellites in the Defense Support Program ( DSP ), which are the principal components of the Satellite Early Warning System currently used by the United States.

During Desert Storm, for example, DSP satellites were able to detect the launches of Iraqi Scud missiles and provide timely warnings to civilians and military forces in Israel and Saudi Arabia.

In the 1970s, the nuclear detection mission was taken over by the Defense Support Program ( DSP ) system, and in the late 1980s, augmented by the Navstar Global Positioning System ( GPS ) satellites.

The Defense Support Program ( DSP ) early warning satellites were developed in part to counter this threat, detecting the infrared " bloom " from the launch rockets no matter where they occurred.

The Defense Support Program ( DSP ) is a program of the U. S. Air Force that operates the reconnaissance satellites which form the principal component of the Satellite Early Warning System currently used by the United States.

DSP satellites, which are operated by the Air Force Space Command, detect missile or spacecraft launches and nuclear explosions using sensors that detect the infrared emissions from these intense sources of heat.

Typically, DSP satellites were launched on Titan IVB boosters with Inertial Upper Stages.

The 460th Space Wing, with headquarters at Buckley Air Force Base, Colo., has units that operate DSP satellites and report warning information, via communications links, to the NORAD and USSTRATCOM early warning centers within Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.

It was developed by the U. S. Air Force as a heavy-lift satellite launcher to be used mainly to launch U. S. Military payloads such as DSP early-warning, intelligence ( spy ), and defense communications satellites.

The UK has relied on the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ) and, in later years, Defense Support Program ( DSP ) satellites for warning of a nuclear attack.

The most common form is a single arbitrary instruction located immediately after a branch instruction on a RISC or DSP architecture ; this instruction will execute even if the preceding branch is taken.

The SHARC DSP and MIPS-X use a double branch delay slot ; such a processor will execute a pair of instructions following a branch instruction before the branch takes effect.

Although systems using DSP ( Digital Signal Processing ) will largely eliminate false alarms on some cases.

This is essentially no different than any other data processing, except DSP mathematical techniques ( such as the FFT ) are used, and the sampled data is usually assumed to be uniformly sampled in time or space.

In a real-time DSP process, the analyzed ( input ) and generated ( output ) samples can be processed ( or generated ) continuously in the time it takes to input and output the same set of samples independent of the processing delay.

If it takes 1. 99 seconds, it is or can be made into, a real-time DSP process.

The DSP-1 chip that was used in Super Mario Kart went on to be the most popular DSP chip to be used in SNES games.

However, modern integrated-circuit digital signal processing ( DSP ) technology could be used to build autocorrelation receivers to check far more channels.

Apart from Windows Media Player, most of the WMA compression formats can be played using ALLPlayer, VLC media player, Media Player Classic, MPlayer, RealPlayer, Winamp, Zune Software ( with certain limitations — DSP plugin support and DirectSound output is disabled using the default WMA plugin ), and many other software media players.

In such systems the DSP could be booted by another processor which is sometimes referred as the host processor ( giving name to a Host Port ).

For example, in order to perform digital filters fast enough, the MAC instruction in a typical digital signal processor ( DSP ) must be implemented using a kind of Harvard architecture that can fetch an instruction and two data words simultaneously, and it requires a single-cycle multiply – accumulate multiplier.

It can also be generated digitally by a DSP and DAC, using a Direct digital synthesizer ( DDS ) and by varying the step in the numerically controlled oscillator.

The addition of SIMD instructions to most desktop computer CPUs have meant that dedicated DSP chips like the 56000 have partly retreated from some application fields, but they continue to be used widely in communications and other professional uses.

Active crossovers can be implemented digitally using a DSP chip or other microprocessor.

Many DSP applications have constraints on latency ; that is, for the system to work, the DSP operation must be completed within some fixed time, and deferred ( or batch ) processing is not viable.

Another DSP produced by Texas Instruments ( TI ), the TMS32010 presented in 1983, proved to be an even bigger success.

Generally, DSP's are dedicated integrated circuits ; however DSP functionality can also be produced by using field-programmable gate array chips ( FPGA ’ s ).

Presumably, this DSP could be used to automate some of the sound operations, like envelope control.

), and all audio had to be resampled to 48 kHz in order to be accepted by the DSP ( for recording or rendering to output.

Within a digital mixer there can be differing amounts of latency, depending on the routing and on how much DSP is in use.

As more sophisticated transmission schemes were devised, the circuits grew in complexity, mixing analog with digital parts and eventually incorporating multiple ICs such as logical gates, PLLs and microcontrollers, while the techniques used in modern v34, v. 90 and v. 92 protocols ( like 1024-QAM ) are so complex that implementing a modem supporting them with discrete components or general purpose IC's would be very impractical, and a dedicated DSP or ASIC is used instead, effectively turning the modem into a special embedded system, a dedicated computer in its own right.

Custom cartridges or PC interfaces can be used to load. SPC files onto a real SNES SPC700 and DSP.

The capabilities of the SPC700 DSP in the SNES sound system allow for music synthesis by samples ( analogous to MOD or IT music formats ), allowing long stretches of audio to be produced from only 64 kilobytes of data.

DSP effects can also be controlled on the fly by physical controllers.

However, since they are also simple MIDI devices, foot switches can usually be configured to turn on and off any MIDI control, such as turning of one of the DSP effects, or the auto-harmony.

The first successful launch of MiDAS was May 24, 1960 and there were twelve launches before the DSP program replaced it in 1966.

This effect is now done electronically using DSP, but originally the effect was created by playing the same recording on two synchronized tape players, and then mixing the signals together.

Processing is done by general-purpose computers or by digital circuits such as ASICs, field-programmable gate arrays or specialized digital signal processors ( DSP chips ).

As a result, in 1999 and 2001, the DSP government of Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit had to face two major economic crises that were caused mostly by the weak and loosely regulated banking sector ; the growing trade deficit ; and the devastating İzmit earthquake of 17 August 1999.

Although physical modelling was not a new concept in acoustics and synthesis, having been implemented using finite difference approximations of the wave equation by Hiller and Ruiz in 1971, it was not until the development of the Karplus-Strong algorithm, the subsequent refinement and generalization of the algorithm into the extremely efficient digital waveguide synthesis by Julius O. Smith III and others, and the increase in DSP power in the late 1980s that commercial implementations became feasible.

This effect is now done electronically using DSP, but originally the effect was created by playing the same recording on two synchronized tape players, and then mixing the signals together.

For instance, debugging a software-( and microprocessor -) centric embedded system is different from debugging an embedded system where most of the processing is performed by peripherals ( DSP, FPGA, co-processor ).

Examples of contemporary VLIW CPUs include the TriMedia media processors by NXP ( formerly Philips Semiconductors ), the SHARC DSP by Analog Devices, the C6000 DSP family by Texas Instruments, and the STMicroelectronics ST200 family based on the Lx architecture ( also designed by Josh Fisher ).

The PlayStation 2 was unusual in that one of its vector-float units could function as an autonomous DSP executing its own instruction stream, or as a coprocessor driven by ordinary CPU instructions.

The Motorola DSP56000 ( aka 56K ) is a family of digital signal processor ( DSP ) chips produced by Motorola Semiconductor ( now known as Freescale Semiconductor ) starting in the 1980s and is still being produced in more advanced models in the 2000s.

The Motorola 96XXX ( aka 96000, 96K ) is a family of digital signal processor ( DSP ) chips produced by Motorola.

The German Socialist Party ( Deutsch-Sozialistische Partei, DSP ) was created in May 1919 as an initiative of Rudolf von Sebottendorf as a child of the Thule society, and its program was based on the ideas of the mechanical engineer Alfred Brunner ( 1881-1936 )-including socialist ideas like the takeover of the financial sector by the state and cutting back the " interest-based economy ".
