Agreement On Journey Continuation
The Agreement on Journey Continuation (AJC) is a commercial agreement between 15 major European rail operators, to allow international train passengers on the next possible train without additional costs, in case of a missed train connection. Background Before the AJC, there were already other protections for rail passengers who miss a connecting train and lose their seat reservation due to a delay of the first train. These passengers are allowed on the next possible train without additional costs under certain conditions: * the protection of the CIV (''International Convention for the transportation of Passengers)'' when travelling with a single ticket (through ticket). However in the 21st century for a lot of international train journeys there are no through tickets available, and the passenger has no other choice than to buy separate tickets. * the HOTNAT (''hop on the next available train'') protection of the Railteam alliance. when travelling with two separate train ticket ...

American Jewish Congress
The American Jewish Congress (AJCongress or AJC) is an association of American Jews organized to defend Jewish interests at home and abroad through public policy advocacy, using diplomacy, legislation, and the courts. History The AJCongress was founded in November 1918, and represented a "populist counterbalance to the American Jewish Committee (AJC), which was dominated by the wealthy and conservative German-Jewish establishment." It has established a "reputation for being politically liberal." It protested the Nazi regime. Post World War II, it made "its mark as an active litigant on church-state issues and civil rights". It was first proposed on August 30, 1914, by Bernard G. Richards. Leaders within the American Jewish community, consisting of Jewish, Zionist, and immigrant community organizations, convened the first AJCongress in Philadelphia's historic Independence Hall.

Jitter
In electronics and telecommunications, jitter is the deviation from true periodicity of a presumably periodic signal, often in relation to a reference clock signal. In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter. Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links. Jitter can be quantified in the same terms as all time-varying signals, e.g., root mean square (RMS), or peak-to-peak displacement. Also, like other time-varying signals, jitter can be expressed in terms of spectral density. Jitter period is the interval between two times of maximum effect (or minimum effect) of a signal characteristic that varies regularly with time. Jitter frequency, the more commonly quoted figure, is its inverse. ITU-T G.810 classifies jitter frequencies below 10 Hz as wander and frequencies at or above 10 Hz as jitter. Jitter may be caused by electromagnetic interference and crosstalk with carriers of other signals. Jitte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
