  2. Digital selective calling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Selective_Calling

    Digital selective calling (DSC) is a standard for transmitting predefined digital messages via the medium-frequency (MF), high-frequency (HF) and very-high-frequency (VHF) maritime radio systems. It is a core part of the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS).

  3. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

    Differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. [1] Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment.

  5. Dice-Sørensen coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice-Sørensen_coefficient

    The Dice-Sørensen coefficient (see below for other names) is a statistic used to gauge the similarity of two samples. It was independently developed by the botanists Lee Raymond Dice [1] and Thorvald Sørensen, [2] who published in 1945 and 1948 respectively.

  6. Distributed source coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_source_coding

    Distributed source coding (DSC) is an important problem in information theory and communication. DSC problems regard the compression of multiple correlated information sources that do not communicate with each other.

  7. Digital signal controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_controller

    A digital signal controller (DSC) is a hybrid of microcontrollers and digital signal processors (DSPs). Like microcontrollers, DSCs have fast interrupt responses, offer control-oriented peripherals like PWMs and watchdog timers , and are usually programmed using the C programming language , although they can be programmed using the device's ...

  11. Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-sideband_suppressed...

    Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission. Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission ( DSB-SC) is transmission in which frequencies produced by amplitude modulation (AM) are symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier frequency and the carrier level is reduced to the lowest practical level, ideally being completely suppressed.
