Natural Harmony (Mus.), the harmony of the triad or common
chord.

Natural history, in its broadest sense, a history or
description of nature as a whole, including the sciences
of botany, Zoology, geology, mineralogy,
paleontology, chemistry, and physics. In recent
usage the term is often restricted to the sciences of
botany and Zoology collectively, and sometimes to the
science of zoology alone.

Natural law, that instinctive sense of justice and of right
and wrong, which is native in mankind, as distinguished
from specifically revealed divine law, and formulated
human law.

Natural modulation (Mus.), transition from one key to its
relative keys.

Natural order. (Nat. Hist.) See under order.

Natural person. (Law) See under person, n.

Natural philosophy, originally, the study of nature in
general; the natural sciences; in modern usage, that
branch of physical science, commonly called physics,
which treats of the phenomena and laws of matter and
considers those effects only which are unaccompanied by
any change of a chemical nature; -- contrasted with
mental philosophy and moral philosophy.

Natural scale (Mus.), a scale which is written without
flats or sharps.

Note: Model would be a preferable term, as less likely to
mislead, the so-called artificial scales (scales
represented by the use of flats and sharps) being
equally natural with the so-called natural scale.

Natural science, the study of objects and phenomena
existing in nature, especially biology, chemistry, physics
and their interdisciplinary related sciences; {natural
history}, in its broadest sense; -- used especially in
contradistinction to social science, mathematics,
philosophy, mental science or moral science.

Natural selection (Biol.), the operation of natural laws
analogous, in their operation and results, to designed
selection in breeding plants and animals, and resulting in
the survival of the fittest; the elimination over time of
species unable to compete in specific environments with
other species more adapted to survival; -- the essential
mechanism of evolution. The principle of natural selection
is neutral with respect to the mechanism by which
inheritable changes occur in organisms (most commonly
thought to be due to mutation of genes and reorganization
of genomes), but proposes that those forms which have
become so modified as to be better adapted to the existing
environment have tended to survive and leave similarly
adapted descendants, while those less perfectly adapted
have tended to die out through lack of fitness for the
environment, thus resulting in the survival of the
fittest. See Darwinism.

Natural system (Bot. & Zool.), a classification based upon
real affinities, as shown in the structure of all parts of
the organisms, and by their embryology.

It should be borne in mind that the natural system
of botany is natural only in the constitution of its
genera, tribes, orders, etc., and in its grand
divisions. --Gray.


Natural theology, or Natural religion, that part of
theological science which treats of those evidences of the
existence and attributes of the Supreme Being which are
exhibited in nature; -- distinguished from {revealed
religion}. See Quotation under Natural, a., 3.

Natural vowel, the vowel sound heard in urn, furl, sir,
her, etc.; -- so called as being uttered in the easiest
open position of the mouth organs. See Neutral vowel,
under Neutral and Guide to Pronunciation, [sect] 17.

ADPCM

(ADPCM) A compression technique which
records only the difference between samples and adjusts the
coding scale dynamically to accomodate large and small
differences. ADPCM is simple to implement, but introduces
much noise.

[Used where? Does the Sony minidisk use ADPCM or ATRAC?]

(AM) A method of encoding data by varying
the amplitude of a constant frequency carrier.

Contrast Frequency Modulation.

asymmetrical modulation
(foldoc)
asymmetrical modulation

A scheme to maximise use of a communications
line by giving a larger share of the bandwidth to the
modem at the end which is transmitting the most information.

Only one end of the connection has full bandwidth, the other
has only a fraction of the bandwidth. Normally, which end
gets the full bandwidth is chosen dynamically.

Asymmetrical modulation was made famous by the HST mode of
the early high-speed modems from US Robotics.

(CAP) A design of {Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line} transceiver developed by Bell Labs. CAP
was the first ADSL design to be commercially deployed and, as
of August 1996, was installed on more lines than any other.

CAP is a variation of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, the
modulation used by most existing modems in 1997. With CAP,
the three channels (POTS, downstream data and upstream data)
are supported by splitting the frequency spectrum. Voice
occupies the standard 0-4 Khz frequency band, followed by the
upstream channel and the high-speed downstream channel.

(1997-10-08)
demodulation
(foldoc)
demodulation
demodulate

To recover the signal from the carrier.
For example, in a radio broadcast using amplitude modulation
the audio signal is transmitted as the mean amplitude of a
radio-frequency carrier so demodulation requires a circuit
which measures the amplitude and filters out the carrier.
There are many other kinds of modulation and corresponding
demodulation.

(FM) A method of encoding data by varying the
frequency of a constant amplitude carrier signal.

IMD

(IMD) Nonlinear distortion
in a system or transducer, characterised by the appearance
in the output of frequencies equal to the sums and differences
of integral multiples of the two or more component frequencies
present in the input waveform.

(2000-08-21)
modified frequency modulation
(foldoc)
Modified Frequency Modulation
MFM

(MFM, Modified FM, or sometimes "Multiple
Frequency Modulation") A modification to the original
frequency modulation scheme for encoding data on {magnetic
disks}. MFM allows more than 1 symbol per flux transition (up
to 3), giving greater density of data. It is used with a data
rate of between 250-500 kbit/s on industry standard 3.5" and
5.25" low and high density diskettes, and up to 5 Mbit/s on
ST-506 hard disks. Except for 1.44 MB floppy disks, this
encoding is obsolete.

Other data encoding schemes include GCR, FM, RLL. See
also: PRML.

(2002-06-24)
pulse code modulation
(foldoc)
Pulse Code Modulation

(PCM) A method by which an audio signal is represented
as digital data.

Virtually all digital audio systems use PCM, including, CD,
DAT, F1 format, 1630 format, DASH, DCC, and MD. Many people
get confused because "PCM" is also slang for Sony's F1 format
which stores PCM digital audio on videotape.

(1995-02-09)
quadrature amplitude modulation
(foldoc)
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation

(QAM) A method for encoding digital data in an analog signal
in which each combination of phase and amplitude represents
one of sixteen four bit patterns. This is required for fax
transmission at 9600 bits per second.
