  1. Signal compression

    In telecommunication , the term signal compression has the following meanings In analog usually audio systems, reduction of the dynamic range of a Signalling telecommunication signal by controlling it as a function of the inverse relationship of its instantaneous value relative to a specified reference level. Signal compression is usually expressed in decibel dB . Instantaneous values of the input signal that are low, relative to the reference level, are increased, and those that are high are decreased. Signal compression is usually accomplished by separate devices called compressors. It is used for many purposes, such as a improving signal to noise ratios prior to digitizing an analog signal for transmission telecommunications transmission over a digital carrier system , b preventing overload of succeeding elements of a system, or c matching the dynamic ranges of two devices. Signalling telecommunication Signal compression in dB may be a linear or nonlinear function of the signal level across the frequency band radio band of interest and may be essentially instantaneous or have fixed or variable delay times. Signal compression always introduces distortion , which is usually not objectionable, if the compression is limited to a few dB. The original dynamic range of a compressed signal may be restored by a Electronic circuit circuit called an Companding expander .

  1. Gravitational compression

    Gravitational compression is a phenomenon in which gravity , acting on the mass of an object, compresses it, reducing its size and increasing the object s density . File Stellar core.gif thumb In the Solar core core of a star such as the Sun , gravitational pressure is balanced by the outward thermal pressure from Nuclear fusion fusion reactions , temporarily halting gravitational compression. At the center of a planet or star , gravitational compression produces heat by the Kelvin Helmholtz mechanism . This is the mechanism that explains how Jupiter continues to radiation radiate heat produced by its gravitational compression. ref name SRI1 cite web url http www.iki.rssi.ru nineplanets jupiter.html title Jupiter publisher Space Research Institute,Russian Academy of Sciences accessdate 2009 11 05 ref The most common reference to gravitational compression is with respect to stellar evolution . The Sun and other main sequence stars are produced by the initial gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud . Assuming the mass of the material is large enough, gravitational compression reduces the size of the core, increasing its temperature until hydrogen fusion can begin. This hydrogen to helium fusion reaction releases energy which balances the inward gravitational pressure and the star becomes stable for millions of years. No further gravitational compression occurs until the hydrogen is nearly used up, reducing the thermal pressure of the fusion reaction. ref cite web url http www.space.com scienceastronomy astronomy star formation 010116.html title How a Star is Born Clouds ... of the Sun s life, gravitational compression will turn it into a white dwarf . ref Cite web title White ... very quickly, ending their lives as supernova supernovae after which further gravitational compression ... the compression physical compression due to gravity is balanced by a pressure gradient in the opposite direction due to the strength of the material, at which point gravitational compression ceases.
