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.
The DMV then notes the violation on the personâs driving record along with the number of demerit points to be assessed, the date the offense occurred and the date of conviction. For a person licensed in Virginia the demerit points for any given offense only remains on their driving record for two years.
