The term transmissionmedium also refers to a technical device that employs the material substance to transmit or guide waves. Thus, an optical fiber or a copper cable is a transmissionmedium. Not only this but also is able to guide the transmission of networks. A transmissionmedium can be classified as a Linear medium , if different waves at any particular point in the medium can be superposition principle superposed Bounded medium , if it is finite in extent, otherwise unbounded medium Uniform medium or homogeneous medium , if its physical properties are unchanged at different points Isotropic medium , if its physical properties are the same in different directions.

In telecommunication , a shared medium is a transmissionmediummedium or channel communications channel of information transfer that serves more than one user at the same time. Most channels only function correctly when one user is transmitting, so a channel access method is always in effect. In circuit switching , each user typically gets a fixed share of the channel capacity. A multiplexing scheme divides up the channel capacity capacity of the medium. Common multiplexing schemes include time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing . Channel access methods for circuit switching include time division multiple access , frequency division multiple access , etc. In packet switching , the sharing is more dynamic &mdash each user takes up little or none of the capacity when idle, and can utilize the entire capacity if transmitting while all other users are idle.

An optical medium is material through which electromagnetic wave s propagate. It is a form of transmissionmedium . The permittivity and Permeability electromagnetism permeability of the medium define how electromagnetic waves propagate in it. The medium has an intrinsic impedance , given by math eta E x over H y math where math E x math and math H y math are the electric field and magnetic field , respectively. In a region with no electrical conductivity , the expression simplifies to math eta sqrt mu over varepsilon . math For example, in free space the intrinsic impedance is called the characteristic impedance of vacuum , denoted Z sub 0 sub , and math Z 0 sqrt mu 0 over varepsilon 0 . math Waves propagate through a medium with velocity math c w nu lambda math , where math nu math is the frequency and math lambda math is the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves. This equation also may be put in the form math c w omega over k , math where math omega math is the angular frequency of the wave and math k math is the wavenumber of the wave. In electrical engineering , the symbol math beta math , called the phase constant , is often used instead of math k math . The propagation velocity of electromagnetic waves in free space , an idealized standard reference state like absolute zero for temperature , is conventionally denoted by c sub 0 sub ref With ISO 31 5 , NIST and the BIPM have adopted the notation c sub 0 sub . ref math c 0 1 over sqrt varepsilon 0 mu 0 , math where math varepsilon 0 math is the electric constant and math mu 0 math is the magnetic constant .

In digital storage, a Medium Error is a class of errors that a storage device can experience, which imply that a physical problem was encountered when trying to access the device. The word medium refers to the physical storage layer, the medium on which the data is stored as opposed to errors related to e.g. protocol, device controller driver state, etc. Medium errors are most commonly detected by checking the read data against a checksum itself being most commonly also stored on the same device. The mismatch of data to its supposed checksum is assumed to be caused by the data being corrupted. Locations of medium errors can be either temporary as in the case of bit rot there is no damage to the medium, the data was simply lost , or permanent as in the case of scratching the physical location is unusable from that point onwards . Devices can sometimes recover from medium errors, either by retrying or by managing to reconcile the data with the checksum. If the medium has incurred permanent damage, the device might remap the logical address where the error occurred to a different, undamaged physical location. Medium errors are often associated with long latency for the IOs. This is due to the device retrying and attempting to recover from the error. Examples of conditions that might cause medium errors The head executed a Read request while being improperly aligned, causing it to read data from a wrong physical position. Previous operation of the disk harmed the medium in some manner e.g. scratched it , corrupting data in the location that is now discovered as problematic. External conditions e.g. dust particles physically harmed the medium, or caused the head to harm the medium. A previous Write on a nearby physical location caused the head to corrupt bits in the read location imprecision in the physical write location . This is less likely in media that is mostly read only, such as optical media, unless the writing device is defective. Bit rot, i.e. the gradual, natural ... more details

Publications The phrase was introduced in his most widely known book, Understanding Media The Extensions of Man , published in 1964. ref Originally published in 1964 by Mentor, New York reissued 1994, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts with an introduction by Lewis Lapham ref McLuhan proposes that a medium itself, not the content it carries, should be the focus of study. He said that a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not only by the content delivered over the medium, but also by the characteristics of the medium itself. McLuhan frequently punned on the word message changing it to mass age , mess age , and massage a later book, The Medium is the Massage was originally to be titled The Medium is the Message , but McLuhan preferred the new title which is said to have been a The Medium is the Massage Origin of the title printing error .

unreferenced date December 2007 In film , a medium shot is a camera shot from a medium distance. The dividing line between long shot and medium shot is fuzzy, as is the line between medium shot and close up . In some standard texts and professional references, a full length view of a human subject is called a medium shot in this terminology, a shot of the person from the knees up or the waist up is a close up shot. In other texts, these partial views are called medium shots. For example, in Europe a medium shot is framed from the waist up . It is mainly used for a scene when you can see what kind of expressions they are using. There is no evident reason for this variation. It is not a distinction caused by, for example, a difference between TV and film language or 1930s and 1980s language. Medium shots are relatively good in showing facial expressions but work well to show body language.
