  2. Digital selective calling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Selective_Calling

    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). [1]

  4. 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. [1] By modeling the correlation between multiple sources at the decoder side together with channel codes, DSC is able to shift ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Maritime_Distress...

    DSC was intended to eliminate the need for persons on a ship's bridge or on shore to continuously guard radio receivers on voice radio channels, including VHF channel 16 (156.8 MHz) and 2182 kHz now used for distress, safety and calling. A listening watch aboard GMDSS-equipped ships on 2182 kHz ended on February 1, 1999.

  6. 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.

    A Doctor of Science (Latin: Scientiae Doctor; most commonly abbreviated DSc or ScD) is a science doctorate awarded in a number of countries throughout the world.In some countries, a Doctor of Science is the degree used for the standard doctorate in the sciences; elsewhere a Doctor of Science is a "higher doctorate" awarded in recognition of a substantial and sustained contribution to ...

  8. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

    Electronic stability control ( ESC ), also referred to as electronic stability program ( ESP) or dynamic stability control ( DSC ), is a computerized technology [1] [2] that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction ( skidding ). [3] When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes ...

  9. Digital signal controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_controller

    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 ...
