Pulse \Pulse\, n. [OE. pous, OF. pous, F. pouls, fr. L. pulsus       (sc. venarum), the beating of the pulse, the pulse, from       pellere, pulsum, to beat, strike; cf. Gr. [?] to swing,       shake, [?] to shake. Cf. {Appeal}, {Compel}, {Impel},       {Push}.]       1. (Physiol.) The beating or throbbing of the heart or blood             vessels, especially of the arteries.          Note: In an artery the pulse is due to the expansion and                contraction of the elastic walls of the artery by the                action of the heart upon the column of blood in the                arterial system. On the commencement of the diastole of                the ventricle, the semilunar valves are closed, and the                aorta recoils by its elasticity so as to force part of                its contents into the vessels farther onwards. These,                in turn, as they already contain a certain quantity of                blood, expand, recover by an elastic recoil, and                transmit the movement with diminished intensity. Thus a                series of movements, gradually diminishing in                intensity, pass along the arterial system (see the Note                under {Heart}). For the sake of convenience, the radial                artery at the wrist is generally chosen to detect the                precise character of the pulse. The pulse rate varies                with age, position, sex, stature, physical and                psychical influences, etc.          2. Any measured or regular beat; any short, quick motion,             regularly repeated, as of a medium in the transmission of             light, sound, etc.; oscillation; vibration; pulsation;             impulse; beat; movement.                         The measured pulse of racing oars.      --Tennyson.                         When the ear receives any simple sound, it is struck                      by a single pulse of the air, which makes the                      eardrum and the other membranous parts vibrate                      according to the nature and species of the stroke.                                                                               --Burke.          {Pulse glass}, an instrument consisting to a glass tube with             terminal bulbs, and containing ether or alcohol, which the             heat of the hand causes to boil; -- so called from the             pulsating motion of the liquid when thus warmed.          {Pulse wave} (Physiol.), the wave of increased pressure             started by the ventricular systole, radiating from the             semilunar valves over the arterial system, and gradually             disappearing in the smaller branches.                         the pulse wave travels over the arterial system at                      the rate of about 29.5 feet in a second. --H.

plesiochronous          Nearly synchronised, a term describing a       communication system where transmitted signals have the same       nominal digital rate but are synchronised on different clocks.          According to {ITU-T} {standards}, corresponding signals are       plesiochronous if their significant instants occur at       nominally the same rate, with any variation in rate being       constrained within specified limits.          [Pronunciation?   /ples'ee-oh-kroh'nus/?]          (1995-03-02)

Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy          (PDH) A transmission system for voice       communication using {plesiochronous} synchronisation.          PDH is the conventional {multiplexing} technology for network       transmission systems.   The transmitter adds dummy information       bits to allow multiple channels to be bit interleaved.   The       receiver discards these bits once the signals have been       demultiplexed.          PDH combines multiple 2 Mb/s ({E1}) channels in Europe and       1.544 Mb/s ({DS1}) channels in the US and Japan.          PDH is being replaced by {SONET} and other SDH ({Synchronous       Digital Hierarchy}) schemes.          (2003-09-30)

Pulse Code Modulation          (PCM) A method by which an audio signal is represented       as digital data.          Virtually all digital audio systems use PCM, including, {CD},       {DAT}, F1 format, 1630 format, DASH, DCC, and MD.   Many people       get confused because "PCM" is also slang for Sony's F1 format       which stores PCM digital audio on videotape.          (1995-02-09)
