What is the best way to set up the information to be transmitted to give the maximum information transfer across a given channel?

This is of interest in many applications; an example is sending a large document by email. The document may be several hundred kilobytes in size and to send it by email over a telephone line using a modem operating at 28.8 kbps may take a considerable time. If the data are compressed, the file can in certain cases be reduced in size by a factor of over 10, which would reduce the time taken to transmit the file, thus improving the convenience and minimizing cost. If the source information contains redundant information, data compression can shorten the message by removing redundancy. An example would be sending a text file over a communications link where the source device removes redundant characters before transmission. If the file contains sequences that are repeated, such as several space characters in a row, then instead of transmitting each of them the number of spaces could be transmitted. At the receiver the reverse process would allow the original document to be recovered. This process can be done with any character and can be used on simple binary data. This is termed run length encoding and is widely used in a variety of applications including fax machines. Try sending a fax of plain paper and compare the time taken with that taken for a page of typed notes.


 More powerful algorithms are available but they all work by identifying redundancy and removing it. Note that the information content of the message is not altered and these techniques are termed compaction. Data compression may lose some information, which is acceptable in certain situations such as digital TV. The term data compression is used both for those processes that may lose information and for those that do not (i.e. compaction). Another example of coding source information is the Morse code.

Why do the Indian telecom operators offer their services with 28 days validity, not 30 days?😡😡

Here telecom operator are very clever, b ecause telecom operators want to earn money of 13 months instead of 12 months. Let do the calculation and find out why telecom operators are offering 28 days validity. Each month they get 2 days more, therefore in a year they get additional 24 days. There are 7 month which has 31 days so they get additional 7 days.Now in case of February  ,it has only 28 days not 30. So the total number of days they get are=24+7-2=29 days. So if you recharge 12 times then more 29 days are left in a year.🤔🤔 Means for another 29 days you have to recharge from that telecom operator.😫😫 So you have to recharge 13 times in a year instead of 12 times in a year. So telecom operators provide 28 days validity only. First one telecom operator started and then another telecom operators also understood this concept and they also applied 28 days validity both in data packs and voice packs.😱😱😱

Why swiss Bank is Famous for Black Money?

Hello everyone, here we are going to talk about Swiss Bank. When a person hear the name of this bank the only thing that come to our mind is Black Money. When any kind Fraud occur we hear the name of Swiss Bank and Government also tell that he is going to bring all the black money from Swiss Bank. Swiss Bank is located  in Switzerland and was established in 1872 as Basler bankverein. According to Switzerland banking law bank officials cannot disclose the name of account holder name unless and until Swiss court order them. Swiss court give the order only when there is a criminal charge on account holder name for example money laundering, fraud etc. The account in Swiss Bank are secretive account. Anyone who open a bank account in Swiss Bank he has to complete his KYC as normal bank do. But they never reveal the identity and address of account holders name. The account is in coded digits. In bank statement the account holder name is also not disclosed to any one. Here Swi...

How Hydroelectric power produced?

Water has been used to power man-made mechanisms for hundreds of years, mostly in food production in the form of a mill wheel to grind corn. However, using the kinetic energy of water probably became a reality earlier than you thought. In 1878, inventor Lord Armstrong lit his home in Northumberland using only the power of a nearby waterfall. It’s not until the latter half of the 20th Century that we began to take advantage of the massive potential of hydroelectric power. Intriguingly, both the dirty and environmentally unfriendly coal power plants and clean, green hydro-power use almost identical technology to generate power. Central to a coal-fi red plant is a turbine: coal is burned to produce heat energy, which is used to boil water into steam, which then drives a turbine. Hydroelectric power removes the coal and steam elements and instead, fl owing water turns the blades of each turbine.  By damming a river next to a drop in elevation and releasing a co...
