The vegetables include potato, tomato, brinjal, pumpkin and fenugreek leaves: again, substitutions, such as squash for pumpkin, and sweet
Pulse-position modulation Pulse-position modulation Pulse-position modulation (PPM) is a form of signal modulation in which "M" message bits are encoded by transmitting a single pulse in one of formula_1 possible required time shifts. This is repeated every "T" seconds, such that the transmitted bit rate is formula_2 bits per second. It is primarily useful for optical communications systems, which tend to have little or no multipath interference. An ancient use of pulse-position modulation was the Greek hydraulic semaphore system invented by Aeneas Stymphalus around 350 B.C. that used the water clock principle to time signals. In this system, the draining of water
