The input to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) consists of a voltage that varies among a theoretically infinite number of values. Examples are sine waves, the waveforms representing human speech, and the signals from a conventional television camera. The output of the ADC, in contrast, has defined levels or states. The number of states is almost always a power of two -- that is, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.
Demerit points The Demerit Points Scheme is a national program that allocates penalty points (demerits) for a range of driving offences. The scheme is designed to encourage safe and responsible driving. Along with financial penalties, demerit points provide a strong incentive to drive within the law.
In other provinces, the demerits are scaled to your speeding, just like ticket amounts. In PEI, for instance, you get three demerits for going 1-29 kilometres over the speed limit, but six demerits for speeding 30 kilometres over the speed limit.
