New Sampling Techniques Make Up For Lost Data

Posted by timothy on Sunday January 20, 2002 @06:38AM from the putting-stuff-back dept.

An unnamed reader writes: "Professors at Vanderbilt and the University of Connneticut have published a non-uniform sampling theory that could yield better quality digital signals than the standard Uniform sampling techniques pioneered by Shannon at Bell Labs. The Vanderbilt press release and link to the published paper can be found here."

Why don't you write "FP!" like everybody else. It's not like it's not obvious that you weren't thinking very long and hard and trying to formulate an interesting post anyway.
Good shag by Anonymous Coward · 2002-01-20 06:45 · Score: -1, Offtopic

First posts are for tossers.
Anyway, do you have any idea where a decent Scandinavian bloke could get a good, hard shag in London?

  Thank you, my friend.
  Could you please tell a bit about the local "procedure" (so to speak)? Do I just make the old sign or what?
Better Compression by sketerpot · 2002-01-20 06:46 · Score: 0, Offtopic

This could make compression for a lot of things much better, when you don't mind the compression being lossy. Think of movie and picture files even more compressed than they are now. Then think of the reaction of the [MP,RI]AA!
Happy downloading!

hah! That was weak... you didn't even get first post. These trolls just keep getting dumber.
Who gets rights to the technology by kenneth_martens · 2002-01-20 07:05 · Score: 0, Offtopic

If this is indeed a breakthrough, I hope the National Science Foundation (who is funding the research) decides to make the information free for anyone to use. The last thing we need is for them to kill the technology by attempting to retain control of it through copyrights, patents, and controlled licensing. Research like this should be published and given freely to the world community, not licensed to corporations to try to make a buck.
Decompression? by dzym · 2002-01-20 07:17 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Is this how ZeroSync's decompression algorithm works?
