An elliptically or circularly polarized wave, in which the electric field vector, observed in any fixed plane, normal to the direction of propagation, whilst looking in the direction of propagation, rotates with time in a right-hand or clockwise direction. [NTIA] [RR] Synonym clockwise polarized wave.

Synonym Fleming's rule.

The ability to perform a pre-defined set of utilization functions on a content item. These utilization functions are the permissions (e.g., to view/hear, copy, modify, record, excerpt, sample, translate in another language, keep for a certain period, distribute. ), constraints (e.g., pay/view/hear multiple times, play/view/hear certain number of hours), and obligations (e.g., payment, tracking, information) that apply to the content… (Read More →)

The statement of utilization functions that can be performed on a Content Item and the conditions in which they can be performed.

Indicates the entity that is entitled to grant rights.

1. In telephony, a signal of specific duration and character that indicates to a user (customer, subscriber) that a calling party is engaged in an access attempt.
2. Synonym ring network. See network topology.

In a ring network, such as a token ring network, the time required for a signal to propagate once around the ring.
Note 1: Ring latency may be measured in seconds or in bits at the data transmission rate.
Note 2: Ring latency includes signal propagation delays in (a) the ring medium, (b) the drop cables, and (c) the data… (Read More →)
