FSK (band)
F.S.K. (''Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle'', German meaning "voluntary self control") is a German band that formed in Munich in 1980. The band has been associated with avant-garde fringes of ''Neue Deutsche Welle'' (German New Wave) of the early 1980s and with techno and house music since the mid 1990s. History The band was formed in Munich in 1980 by Wilfred Petzi, Thomas Meinecke, Justin Hoffman and Michaela Melian, contributors to the underground magazine ''Mode & Verzweiflung'' (Fashion & despair). The band name is a reference to the German motion picture rating organisation ''Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft'', which uses the same acronym. From 1985 the band was championed by British disc jockey John Peel, recording six sessions for his BBC radio show, and were themselves strongly influenced by the independent British music scene of the time, such as by the unusual interpretation of country music by the Mekons. FSK records were released on Zickzack, a record lab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Federal Counterintelligence Service
The Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation (FSK RF; russian: Федеральная служба контрразведки Российской Федерации, Federal'naya sluzhba kontrrazvedki Rossiskoy Federatsii) was the main security agency of Russia. The FSK was the main successor agency to the Soviet Union's KGB. It existed from 1993 to 1995, when it was reorganized into the Federal Security Service (FSB). Origin On November 26, 1991, the President of the RSFSR Boris Yeltsin issued a decree on the transformation of the republican State Security Committee (KGB) into the Federal Security Agency of the RSFSR (AFB). On January 24, 1992, by decree of the President of Russia, the Ministry of Security of the Russian Federation was created on the basis of the abolished Federal Security Agency of the RSFSR and the Inter-Republican Security Service of the USSR. On December 21, 1993, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Secu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fiskerton Railway Station
Fiskerton railway station, is on the Nottingham to Lincoln Line, situated south-east of the small town of Southwell and serves the village of Fiskerton in Nottinghamshire, England. History The station opened on 4 August 1846 by the Midland Railway. It was taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, and by British Rail in 1948. A signal box was installed at the station in 1902. This Midland Railway Type 3a box was downgraded to a gate box from 2 December 1934. A new junction was laid between Fiskerton and the Rolleston Junction to Southwell line in 1929 to allow mineral trains from Mansfield and district to access Nottingham without reversing at Rolleston Junction. At the same time a new signal box was built to a Midland Railway Type 3c design with a 30 lever frame and gate wheel to operate the level crossing barriers. The curve closed on 1 March 1965 and the railway junction was abolished. It is managed by the East Midlands Railway, which provides servi ...

Forskolin
Forskolin (coleonol) is a labdane diterpene produced by the plant ''Coleus barbatus'' (Blue Spur Flower). Other names include pashanabhedi, Indian coleus, makandi, HL-362, mao hou qiao rui hua. As with other members of the large diterpene class of plant metabolites, forskolin is derived from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). Forskolin contains some unique functional elements, including the presence of a tetrahydropyran-derived heterocyclic ring. Forskolin is commonly used in laboratory research to increase levels of cyclic AMP by stimulation of adenylate cyclase. Mechanism of action Forskolin is commonly used in biochemistry to raise levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the study and research of cell physiology. Forskolin activates the enzyme adenylyl cyclase and increases intracellular levels of cAMP. cAMP is an important second messenger necessary for the proper biological response of cells to hormones and other extracellular signals. It is required for cell communication in the hyp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Frequency-shift Keying
Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a frequency modulation scheme in which digital information is transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier signal. The technology is used for communication systems such as telemetry, weather balloon radiosondes, caller ID, garage door openers, and low frequency radio transmission in the VLF and ELF bands. The simplest FSK is binary FSK (BFSK). BFSK uses a pair of discrete frequencies to transmit binary (0s and 1s) information. With this scheme, the 1 is called the mark frequency and the 0 is called the space frequency. Modulating and demodulating Reference implementations of FSK modems exist and are documented in detail. The demodulation of a binary FSK signal can be done using the Goertzel algorithm very efficiently, even on low-power microcontrollers. Variations Multiple frequency-shift keying Continuous-phase frequency-shift keying In principle FSK can be implemented by using completely independent free-running oscillat ...
