To stop a telephone call directed to an improper, disconnected, or restricted telephone number, and to redirect that call to an operator or a recording. 2. To gain possession of communications intended for others without their consent, and, ordinarily, without delaying or preventing the transmission. Note: An intercept may be an authorized or unauthorized action. 3. The acquisition of a transmitted signal with the intent of delaying or eliminating receipt of that signal by the intended destination user. 4. A call disposition category for a call attempt to a non-operating number.

To restrict communication in both directions with a participant of the conference.

With respect to magnetically recorded data, especially tape-recorded data (analog or digital,) the unintentional transfer of data from one physical location to another by virtue of prolonged, intimate physical contact of the recording media. Note 1: Print-through is probably most commonly encountered when magnetic tape, stored on reels (including cassettes,) is left for prolonged periods without being intentionally disturbed. Data (magnetic disturbances) may then be transferred between layers of tape. Note 2: The effects of print-through may, in the case of magnetic tapes, be minimized by rewinding them at timely intervals. Note 3: The effects of print-through are most serious in analog recordings. Digital recordings may be equally affected in terms of the magnitude of the disturbance caused by print-through, but its effects may usually be eliminated altogether and the original data recovered essentially without errors. This may be accomplished by the simple expedient of reading the data from the affected medium, e. G. , tape, with the threshold for declaring a "one" or "mark" being above the level that is manifest from print-through, and re-recording the data onto a clean recording medium. Analog recordings may not be so treated because there is no prior knowledge of the structure of the recorded signal.

Transmission in which (a) the frequencies produced by amplitude modulation are symmetrically spaced above and below the carrier and (b) the carrier level is reduced for transmission at a fixed level below that which is provided to the modulator. Note: In DSB-RC transmission, the carrier is usually transmitted at a level suitable for use as a reference by the receiver, except for the case in which it is reduced to the minimum practical level, i. E. , the carrier is suppressed.
Industry:Telecommunications
The short-term variations between the optimum sampling instants of a digital signal and the sampling clock derived from it.
Industry:Telecommunications
The system of coding that is used to create or navigate hypermedia in a nonsequential manner.
Industry:Telecommunications
The tendency of alternating current to flow near the surface of a conductor, thereby restricting the current to a small part of the total cross-sectional area and increasing the resistance to the flow of current. Note: The skin effect is caused by the self-inductance of the conductor, which causes an increase in the inductive reactance at high frequencies, thus forcing the carriers, i. E. , electrons, toward the surface of the conductor. At high frequencies, the circumference is the preferred criterion for predicting resistance than is the cross-sectional area. The depth of penetration of current can be very small compared to the diameter.
Industry:Telecommunications
The side of the network interface or the network functions as seen from the interface.
Industry:Telecommunications
The total traffic carried by a trunk or trunk group during a specified time interval.
Industry:Telecommunications
The whole of the means of transmitting and receiving a digital signal of specified rate between the two digital distribution frames (or equivalent) at which terminal equipment or digital exchanges will be connected.
