H.320


H.320

H.320 is an standard recommended by the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union) for running Multimedia (Audio/Video/Data) over ISDN based networks. The main protocols present in this suite are H.221H.230H.242, for audio codecs i.e. G.711, and for video codecs i.e.  H.261 and H.263.
H.320 standard ISDN


H.320 is formally named as Narrow-band visual telephone systems and terminal equipment which specifies the  technical requirements typically for videoconferencing and videophone services.

Narrow-band for this specification is described as bit rates ranging from 64 kbit/s to 1920 kbit/s. This channel capacity may be provided as a single B/H0/H11/H12-channel or multiple B/H0-channels in ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Networking).

H.261 is mandatory for any enhanced H.320 system with video capability. If a visual telephone interworks with a wideband speech terminal, G.722 audio may be used instead of G.711 audio.

Atanasoff - Berry Computer ( ABC )

The Atanasoff – Berry Computer (ABC)   was the first electronic computer, designed and built by Lowa State College Mathematics and Physics professor John Vincent Atanasoff and his assistant, Clifford E. Berry ( a graduate student) . They worked in the basement of the physics building at Lowa State College on the computer from 1939 until 1942 when it was abandoned due to World War II . Unfortunately, after being abandoned , it was neglected and eventually disassembled for parts. In 1994, a team from Lowa state University began to rebuild the computer, finishing it in 1997. The system weighed more than seven hundred pounds (320 kg). It contained approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) of wire, 280 dual-triode vacuum tubes, 31  thyratrons , and was about the size of a desk.  The idea behind the ABC were later used in the construction of the ENIAC, the world’s first general purpose computer. Purpose / Working ABC was designed only to solve systems of  l...

Integrated Injection Logic (I2L)

Integrated Injection Logic (I2L) was disclosed in 1972 at International Solid State Circuits Conference by C. M. Hart and A. Slob of Philips, The Netherlands, and by H. H. Berger and S. K. Wiedmann of IBM, West Germany simultaneously. The basic logic unit is a multiple output inverter which is physically realized as a conventional npn multi-emitter transistor operated in the inverse mode. Base drive to the npn inverters is supplied by multicollector lateral pnp current source transistors. The emitter of the pnp transistor is referred to as the injector, and a single injector distributes base drive to many npn logic units. The outputs of I2L units may be " wire AND " with outputs from other units for NAND implementation of logic functions. I2L is a bipolar LSI circuit technique which achieves high packing density and good power-delay efficiency using conventional bipolar processing. It uses the properties of ion implantation to achieve improved performance ca...

Nagware

Nagware is a software utility that adds users into upgrading or buying a premium version of software by sending constant pop-up messages or notifications.   It is a marketing tactic used by software developers in order to remind users to take advantage of special offers and purchase software. Nagware is also known as begware , annoyware , nagscreen and guiltware . It is built into commercial software that periodically prompts the user to register the product. Nagware is commonly used with  shareware  programs which have been downloaded for trial use. It keeps the message up for a certain time period, forcing the user to continue using the program.
