All of Smirnoff's original " In Soviet Russia " jokes made use of formulaic wordplay that carried Orwellian undertones.

Although it was subsequently lost, a very similar copy of the formulaic text came to light in the 20th century that showed the original to be very likely genuine.

Whilst ostensibly a formulaic indie outfit, there were flashes of the more complex symphonic arrangements and varied production values that would characterise later Electric Soft Parade releases, and over three self-released albums the band cultivated a ( relatively ) original sound, not unlike that of Holes in the Wall.

While somewhat formulaic ( Occhi Blue very closely resembles Se Tu Vuoi, as one example ), the original songs had plenty of fresh ideas, some of them similar to the works of Highland's fellow German group, Lesiëm.

In recent days there have been extensive lamentations over the absence of original drama on television, but not for years have many regretted the passing of new plays on radio.

A 1945 radio series of at least 13 original half-hour episodes ( none of which apparently adapt any Christie stories ) transferred Poirot from London to New York and starred character actor Harold Huber, perhaps better known for his appearances as a police officer in various Charlie Chan films.

Beginning with Reginald Fessenden's audio demonstrations in 1906, it was also the original method used for audio radio transmissions, and remains in use today by many forms of communication —" AM " is often used to refer to the mediumwave broadcast band ( see AM radio ).

On the 2007 deluxe edition release, it is revealed that parts of this tape were used for the 1976 Griffith Park Planetarium launch of the original album, the 1987 remix, and various radio spots, all of which were included as bonus material.

The first major model for communication was introduced by by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver for Bell Laboratories in 1949 The original model was designed to mirror the functioning of radio and telephone technologies.

In summary, an AM signal consists of alternating positive and negative peaks of a radio carrier wave, whose amplitude or envelope is proportional to the original audio signal.

The original stories were adapted for the radio by Russell Hughes.

The production team of Tony Moran and Albert Cabrera, known as the Latin Rascals, created original music for radio station WKTU that included freestyle classics like 1984's " Arabian Nights ", and later hip-hop oriented projects such as the Cover Girls ' " Show Me ".

BBC Radio and Broadway investors subsequently rejected Rohmer's proposals for an original Fu Manchu radio serial and stage show during the 1940s.

Only one of this first series ( and very few of the following three in which he did not appear ) has survived, the rest of the original disc recordings having apparently been destroyed or discarded as no longer usable, so there is almost no record of his work as a radio " Goon ".

Later, as those songs became popular, the original artists ' recordings received radio play as well.

The name soap opera stems from the original dramatic serials broadcast on radio that had soap manufacturers, such as Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Lever Brothers, as sponsors and producers.

Douglas Adams writes in the notes accompanying the published volume of original radio scripts that he wanted Slartibartfast's name to sound very rude, but still actually be broadcastable.

In electronics, a superheterodyne receiver ( sometimes shortened to superhet ) uses frequency mixing or heterodyning to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency, which can be more conveniently processed than the original radio carrier frequency.

The demodulator uses the IF signal rather than the original radio frequency to recreate a copy of the original information ( such as audio ).

The undesired signals are removed by the IF bandpass filter, leaving only the desired offset IF signal at f < small >< sub > IF </ sub ></ small > which contains the original modulation ( transmitted information ) as the received radio signal had at f < small >< sub > d </ sub ></ small >.

In the United States and Canada, satellite radio services offer uncensored " free-wheeling " original programming, such as The Howard Stern Show and The Opie & Anthony Show, formerly featured on terrestrial, government-censored radio.

In 1907, De Forest filed for a patent for such a three-electrode version of his original Audion tube for use as an electronic amplifier in radio communications.

Seats now include monitors for the electronic libretto system provided by radio marconi, an Italian company, allowing audiences to follow opera libretti in English and Italian in addition to the original language.

One benefit is that the statistical moment calculations can be carried out to arbitrary accuracy such that the computations can be tuned to the precision of, e. g., the data storage format or the original measurement hardware.

Most international versions of the show remain quite similar to each other in that their main format remains true to the original fly on the wall, observational style, with the emphasis being on human relationships.

BITC is sometimes used in conjunction with " real " machine-readable timecode, but more often used in copies of original material on to a non-broadcast format such as VHS, so that the VHS copies can be traced back to their master tape and the original time codes easily located.

The greatest risk in using such a proprietary data storage format, assuming that it works reliably as designed, is that it may be difficult or impossible to repair or replace the hardware used to read the media if it fails, is damaged, or is lost after its original vendor discontinues it.

The encoded tone provides information to automatic duplication machines, such as format, duration and volume levels, in order to replicate the original video as closely as possible.

Event franchising is the duplication of public events in other geographical areas, retaining the original brand ( logo ), mission, concept and format of the event.

The original version of the GIF format was called 87a.

According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say " Choosy developers choose GIF ", spoofing this brand's television commercials.

It creates a new format built on portion addresses from Web pages ; when dereferenced, each portion on the resulting page remains click-connected to its original context — always a key aspect of transclusion for Nelson, but missing in most implementations of transclusion.

The 802. 11a standard uses the same data link layer protocol and frame format as the original standard, but an OFDM based air interface ( physical layer ).

In pan-and-scan transfers, the original image is cropped to the narrower aspect ratio of the destination format, usually the 1. 33: 1 ( 4: 3 ) ratio of the standard television screen, whereas letterboxing preserves the film's original image composition as seen in the cinema.

This can be avoided by only producing lossy files from ( lossless ) originals and only editing ( copies of ) original files, such as images in raw image format instead of JPEG.

When deciding to use lossy conversion without keeping the original, one should remember that format conversion may be needed in the future to achieve compatibility with software or devices ( format shifting ), or to avoid paying patent royalties for decoding or distribution of compressed files.

Some audio formats feature a combination of a lossy format and a lossless correction which when combined reproduce the original signal ; the correction can be stripped, leaving a smaller, lossily compressed, file.

An ancestor to the easy listening format is Beautiful Music, a now-rare format ( though XM features one channel of it, called Sunny ) focusing mostly on smooth jazz or classical arrangements of pop music and original compositions in a similar vein.

In 1967, Marvel Comics produced the first of 13 issues of Not Brand Echh, which parodied their own superhero titles as well as DC's ; the series owed its inspiration and format to the original " Mad " comic books of a decade earlier.

Modern U. S. daytime soap operas largely stay true to the original soap opera format.

While the CGI shots have already been mastered in a 16: 9 aspect ratio for future applications, they are currently broadcast in the U. S. and Canada – along with the live-action footage – in the original 4: 3 aspect ratio television format to respect the show's original composition.

They declared that although the series suffered from technical limitations, its format allowed the writers far greater freedom and creativity than was possible in the original live-action series.
