Love Canal, a residential neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York, was used as a dumping ground for toxic waste for much of the 20th century. Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation buried nearly 22,000 tons of toxic waste products there. The harmful effects of chemicals on nearby residents brought toxic waste to the forefront of global […]
Taxi channels guide aircraft to takeoff or landing positions at airports, using lights to mark the path. They help manage traffic and prevent congestion, and are found at airports of all sizes, including water airports and private airstrips. Taxi channels are the paths used by aircraft to bring the aircraft to takeoff position or to […]
Pricing strategy and channel distribution are linked as proper pricing strategy helps control distribution channels and ensures prices remain within set limits. Good external distribution channels can also reduce the need for an internal sales team, saving money and reducing product prices. The relationship between pricing strategy and channel distribution can be drawn from the […]
The Channel Tunnel, also known as the Chunnel or Eurotunnel, is a 31.4-mile tunnel between Great Britain and France, with two train tunnels and a central access tunnel. It revolutionized travel between the two countries and offers a shuttle service for vehicles. Construction began in 1988 and it was completed in six years. It was […]
Open channel flow is liquid flowing through a conduit with a free surface area exposed to the open air. It can be steady or unsteady, uniform or nonuniform, and gradually or rapidly varying. Wastewater and water are common liquids found in open channels, while pipe flow is completely closed. Special devices are needed to measure […]
Waterways are wide and deep enough for boats to pass through, but channels can be narrow and hazardous. Government agencies maintain them and use dredging to control depth. Boat companies may maintain waterways leading to their docks. Navigation laws must be followed to avoid accidents. A waterway is a naturally or artificially produced waterway wide […]
Channel Islands National Park is a US national park consisting of five Pacific islands off the coast of Southern California. It covers 249,561 acres and is home to unique animal species. Visitors can camp, dive, and explore historic attractions. The Chumash tribe first inhabited the islands 12,000 years ago, and Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the […]
A back channel is a link opposite to the main information flow used in communication circuits to ensure successful data collection. It can carry control and supervisory information and is used in satellite return channels, remote control, and data communication links. The return channel reports the status of the transfer in progress and can be […]
Channel partners distribute a manufacturer’s products and services to end consumers, adding value through their own services. Wireless service providers use value-added resellers to sell their equipment and service plans. Third-party resellers help customers with wireless service but do not provide it. Compensation is linked to sales volume, and training and performance agreements can fill […]
Channel usage measures the speed and capacity of an information channel, with the primary measurement standard being bits per second. It is best viewed as an average over a longer period to provide a more meaningful measure of how well the pipeline works in real-world applications. Channel utilization is not a reliable measure of the […]
A covert channel is a security attack that allows data to be accessed and transferred between processes in a way that normal protocols would not allow. It can be detected by monitoring for unusual data usage, but attackers may mimic legitimate operations. Covert channels have limited bandwidth and can be tedious, making them more likely […]
Channel banks connect multiple voice channels through digitization and multiplexing, allowing for transmission of digital communications. They can be analog or digital and come in different types such as circuit T1, D4, D2, D3, and DCT. Different versions have varying bit rates and channel capacities. Channel banks are communication devices used within telecommunications field. Their […]
Fiber Channel (FC) is a high-speed networking technology used to interconnect storage devices and servers. It can be used on long distance fiber optic cables or short distance Ethernet networks. FC has five layers and supports various protocols. Three topologies can be used to create a Fiber Channel fabric: Switched Fabric, Arbitrated Loop, and Direct […]
Channel bonding combines multiple computer network systems to improve performance and increase available communication channels. It can be used with various network types and improves Wi-Fi performance. One channel acts as a control while the others use all its functions. Channel bonding increases MHz and can increase the speed of dial-up connections. Up to eight […]
A storage channel is a covert computer channel that allows one process to write to a storage location while another process reads from it, bypassing security restrictions. It can be used unscrupulously to undermine security, allowing hackers to extract or manipulate data. Secure operating systems can monitor potential activity on storage channels using pattern recognition […]
Channel coding is used in digital communications to reduce errors. Additional binary digits are interwoven into the transmission, which can be checked and repaired on the receiving end. Automatic repeat request and channel encoding are two common methods. The first forward error correcting code was the Hamming code, which is a member of block codes. […]
Strut channel is a metal support system used for cables and pipes in HVAC installations. It is available in various shapes and sizes, made from different metals such as steel, zinc-coated steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Strut channels are versatile and can be easily reconfigured over time. They are also commonly used in the solar […]
A channel sales manager leads a team of sales and marketing employees to market products through a specific channel. They negotiate contracts, set revenue targets, and oversee operations. Employers prefer managers with previous sales experience and academic credentials. A channel sales manager oversees a company’s efforts to market its products or services through a specific […]
Log flumes were used to transport fallen lumber logs through man-made canals in the 19th century. The first designs had flaws, but a V-shaped channel was later created to prevent log jams. The Kings River flume was one of the largest ever built, spanning 54 miles. Today, log flumes are popular amusement park rides. A […]
Channel management is the use of marketing techniques and sales strategies to reach the largest possible customer base through various outlets. It improves marketing and distribution processes, establishes ongoing relationships with customers, and identifies targeted populations for each channel. Effective channel management enables businesses to meet customer needs and brand consistently across all industries. Channel […]
