They also changed the electrode setup and added another layer of flexible electronic devices, known as ring oscillators, which convert the electrical signals emerging from the touch sensitive pyramids to a stream of
digital electrical pulses.
Not exact matches
Similar devices are used today to transform the
digital 1s and 0s in
electrical data into optical
pulses that are then sent around the world, forming the backbone of the Internet and long - distance phone lines.
In contrast to the variable radio waves of analog broadcasting,
digital TV (or DTV) uses
electrical pulses to transmit information precisely and efficiently.
The
electrical signals must then be sent to another processing chip that converts the strength of the signals to a
digital stream of
pulses that is only then sent on to peripheral nerves or brain tissue.
