These are used where the vessel is permanently or semi-permanently sited, for example in the case of lightvessels or channel marker buoys.

When a vessel is in a narrow channel or on a lee shore so that there is no room to tack the vessel in a conventional manner an anchor attached to the lee quarter may be dropped from the lee bow.

Although the hardware is limited to four separate sound channels, software such as OctaMED uses software mixing to allow eight or more virtual channels, and it was possible for software to mix two hardware channels to achieve a single 14-bit resolution channel by playing with the volumes of the channels in such a way that one of the source channels contributes the most significant bits and the other the least.

Each channel is spaced from the adjacent ones by 8. 33 kHz in Europe, 25 kHz elsewhere.

In a 2D image element, which stores a color for each pixel, additional data is stored in the alpha channel with a value between 0 and 1.

If an alpha channel is used in an image, it is common to also multiply the color by the alpha value, to save on additional multiplications during compositing.

With the existence of an alpha channel, it is possible to express compositing image operations, using a compositing algebra.

and resulting alpha channel value is

For some applications, a single alpha channel is not sufficient: a stained-glass window, for instance, requires a separate transparency channel for each RGB channel to model the red transparency, green transparency, and blue transparency.

Flupirtine is a centrally acting K + channel opener with weak NMDA antagonist properties.

Some Anglicans accept that anointing of the sick has a sacramental character and is therefore a channel of God's grace, seeing it as an " outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace " which is the definition of a sacrament.

The Accelerated Graphics Port ( often shortened to AGP ) is a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a video card to a computer's motherboard, primarily to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics.

A channel actually consists of two signals: the picture information is transmitted using amplitude modulation on one frequency, and the sound is transmitted with frequency modulation at a frequency at a fixed offset ( typically 4. 5 to 6 MHz ) from the picture signal.

In practice a technique called vestigial sideband is used to reduce the channel spacing, which would be at least twice the video bandwidth if pure AM was used.

Signal reception is invariably done via a superheterodyne receiver: the first stage is a tuner which selects a television channel and frequency-shifts it to a fixed intermediate frequency ( IF ).

Cytochrome c is also released from mitochondria due to formation of a channel, the mitochondrial apoptosis-induced channel ( MAC ), in the outer mitochondrial membrane, and serves a regulatory function as it precedes morphological change associated with apoptosis.

Although it has been known for a while that the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara flow into each other in an example of a density flow, findings of a study by the University of Leeds in August 2010 reveal that there is in fact an underwater channel of high density water flowing across the floor of the Bosphorus ( caused by the difference in density of the two seas ), which would be the sixth largest river on Earth if it were to be on land.

The researchers estimate that the river — known as a submarine channel — would be the sixth largest river in the world if it were on land based on the amount of water flowing through it.

Generally, the channel controllers would do their best to run all of the bus operations internally, moving data when the CPU was known to be busy elsewhere if possible, and only using interrupts when necessary.

The machine became known popularly in the Philippines as Minus-One ( named after the subtracted vocal channel when turned down ).

The original purpose of the channel was to play music videos guided by on-air hosts known as VJs.

A section of the original Murray River channel immediately behind the fault was abandoned, and exists today as an empty channel known as Green Gully.

The aim of digital baseband modulation methods, also known as line coding, is to transfer a digital bit stream over a baseband channel, typically a non-filtered copper wire such as a serial bus or a wired local area network.

Recently, some attacks based on careful measurements of the exact amount of time it takes known hardware to encrypt plain text have been used to simplify the search for likely decryption keys ( see " side channel attack ").

Professor Norman Abramson of the University of Hawaii developed a packet radio network known as ALOHAnet and performed a number of experiments around 1970 to develop methods to arbitrate access to a shared radio channel by network nodes.

To create a navigable channel through the Long Sault rapids and to allow hydroelectric stations to be established immediately upriver from Cornwall, Ontario and Massena, New York, Lake St. Lawrence was created through the flooding on 1 July 1958 of six villages and three hamlets in Ontario, now collectively known as " The Lost Villages.

On April 10, 2006, an interactive version of TOS, known as Star Trek 2. 0, began broadcast on the television channel G4, where members could participate in an online chat while watching the show.

Short chain scorpion toxins constitute the largest group of potassium ( K < sup >+</ sup >) channel blocking peptides ; an important physiological role of the KCNA3 channel, also known as K < sub > V </ sub > 1. 3, is to help maintain large electrical gradients for the sustained transport of ions such as Ca < sup > 2 +</ sup > that controls T lymphocyte ( T cell ) proliferation.

As a businessman, he is known as founder of the cable news network CNN, the first 24-hour cable news channel.

The channel efficiency, also known as bandwidth utilization efficiency, in percentage is the achieved throughput related to the net bitrate in bit / s of a digital communication channel.

The first was on the right side with the channel number, call signs and city, then the second was the blue bar and the call letters only By the late 1990s, the call signs were minimized to be just barely readable to meet FCC requirements, and the stations were simply known as " UPN ", then channel number or city ( e. g., WPWR-TV in Chicago had been referred to as " UPN Chicago " and WWOR-TV in New York was referred to as " UPN 9 " until The CW merger was announced in late January 2006 ).

In 1853, the Chicago Land Company, of which Ogden was a trustee, purchased land at a bend in the Chicago River and began to cut a channel, formally known as North Branch Canal, but also referred to as Ogden's Canal.

The adjacent-channel interference which receiver A experiences from a transmitter B is the sum of the power that B emits into A's channel — known as the " unwanted emission ", and represented by the ACLR ( Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio )— and the power that A picks up from B's channel, which is represented by the ACS ( Adjacent Channel Selectivity ).

Ham-Friendly ALE technique is also known as 2. 5G ALE, because it maintains 2G ALE compatibility while employing some of the adaptive channel management features of 3G ALE, but without the accurate GPS time synchronization of 3G ALE.

Digital baseband transmission, also known as line coding, aims at transferring a digital bit stream over baseband channel, typically an unfiltered wire, contrary to passband transmission, also known as carrier-modulated transmission.
