A modem "demodulates and modulates" data so that analogue waves can be translated into digital information and vice versa. However, does a broadband "modem" actually do that? Yes that is exactly what does happen in an ADSL modem. The modulation method is DMT (Discrete Multitone Modulation). An ADSL router will have a modem section built in. en.wikipedia.org |

Work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a machine that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters . Such a machine is the 'Turbo-Encabulator' . "The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan . . . . The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the 'up' end of the grammeters . "Forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes were arranged to feed into the rotor slipstream a mixture of high S-value phenylhydrobenzamine and 5% reminative tetryliodohexamine . Both of these liquids have specific pericosities given by P = 2 . 5C . n^6-7 where n is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase disposition and C is Cholmondeley's annular grillage coefficient . Initially, n was measured with the aid of a metapolar refractive pilfrometer . . . but up to the present date nothing has been found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope . . . . "Undoubtedly, the turbo-encabulator has now reached a very high level of technical development . It has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions . In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration . " |
