  Planar: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology explained
As the twist is increased, the LC molecules in the middle of the layer are aligned with the applied electric field by smaller changes in voltage.
A multiplexed LCD is partitioned as a matrix consisting of M rows and N columns.
The maximum acceptable multiplex order depends on the sharpness of the contrast vs. voltage curve, required operating temperature range, and the viewing cone requirements of the particular application.

  Statistical multiplexing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Statistical multiplexing is a type of time-domain multiplexing for transferring several data streams with varying data rates over a digital channel.
Statistical multiplexing allows the bandwidth to be divided arbitrarily among a variable number of channels (while the number of channels and the channel data rate are fixed in TDM).
Statistical multiplexing is used to allow several video, audio and data streams of different data rates to be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited channel (see Statistical multiplexer).

 Digital communication network architecture for providing universal information services - Patent 4763317
The multiplexer and demultiplexer connects the channels of a plurality of narrowband first channel sets with the second channels of a narrowband-carrying channel, to establish narrowband communication paths between the central node and the interface arrangements connected to the remote node.
A similar multiplexing arrangement (not shown) to that just described may be used for a half-duplex fiber 105, the difference being that only one wavelength periodically alternating in direction is carried by fiber 105, and time-compression multiplexing techniques are used to multiplex both upstream and downstream channels onto the wavelength during alternate time periods.
Its function is the converse of the multiplexer function: it demultiplexes downstream channels 306 of fibers 107 into their constituent downstream channels 206 and distributes channels 206 to the appropriate subscribers' distribution fibers 105.

An effective way to provide statistical multiplexing while ensuring appropriate QOS for VBR video is to engineering rules for the amount of bandwidth and buffers which are necessary for a given number of multiplexed sources.
Since this bounds the statistical multiplexing gain, we could argue that CBR transport is moderately efficient for real-time audio and video applications.
First, the statistical behavior and some knowledge of the required QOS can be used to produce resource allocation rules which realize the statistical multiplexing gain while retaining appropriate QOS.

The last issue for statistical CAC algorithms is the traffic modeling of a vast range of characteristics of the arrival processes.
The delay and delay-jitter guarantees are provided through the use of a modified framing strategy in which the statistical characteristics of the streams are taken into account, and the bandwidth allocation when the channel is active is performed over a continuous range of values [7].
The gain from statistical multiplexing of bursty sources is taken into account so that bandwidth allocated to a connection is between the peak rate and the average rate of the connection.

 Readers chime in, Part 1
Statistical multiplexing, time division multiplexing (TDM) and frequency division multiplexing are the three main ways to share networks.
CBR acts much the same way, because even though it is statistically multiplexed, the statistical probability of getting traffic across a CBR channel without noticeable latency, with extremely low jitter and at a constant rate is essentially the same as with a TDM channel.
VBR uses statistical multiplexing and follows the postal stamp model; you get the network priority based on the kind of stamp you put on the envelope.

 Creating smarter headends - 6/1/1999 - CED - CA6260916   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Traditional statistical multiplexing techniques are applied to transport streams built from local digital video servers, which saves some bandwidth, but is too limited in scope for this new era of satellite sources and bundled services.
A common application is multiplexing locally encoded, constant bit-rate programs with a statistically multiplexed satellite feed from which programs have been dropped (see Figure 1).
Without the ability to re-statistically multiplex the remaining programming from the satellite feed, the amount of bandwidth available for the constant bit-rate programs is unpredictable, and therefore unsuitable.

 MFA Forum
Statistical multiplexing avoids the need to pre-allocate resources for a user, but allocates resources on-demand, providing bandwidth to users when, and only when, they need it.
This multiplexing overcomes the packetization delay issues resulting from the use of low-bit-rate voice encoding.
Consequently, the packetization delay is much reduced, as the data rate perceived by the SAR function is the sum of the data rates of all the calls included in the multiplexed stream.

Unlike the effective bandwidth definition (1) which takes into account the effects of statistical multiplexing, the effective bandwidth based on the large buffer asymptotic depends solely on the characteristics of the source and the QoS constraint.
The explanation of the steep decrease of s in Figure 8(a) is similar to the explanation of the ``knee'' of the curves in Figures 2 and 4.

It was enhanced over time with additional computational algorithms and statistical methods, a graphical user interface, simulation animation and other features, and its widespread use in IBM continued into the 1990s.
An important aspect of this traffic management problem is to characterize the effective bandwidth requirement of both individual connections and the aggregate bandwidth usage of multiple connections statistically multiplexed on a given network link, as a function of their statistical properties and the desired level of service.
While the fluid model and its extension to capture the impact of multiplexing can be used to obtain an exact computation of the bandwidth requirement, the computational complexity involved is too high in general, and particularly for real-time network traffic management.

Picture quality is a function of the complexity of the program material and, in the case of statistical multiplexing, the moment to moment operation of the transmission system.
Such statistics would be mean JND, max JND and Q-norm, which allows a generalized approach to mean and max calculations.
This is important for statistically multiplexed encoding systems where bit rates are shared between programs with the potential that any part of program could be stressful to the encoding process due to the bit rate allowed.

In a multiplexed EoS network implementation, a Gigabit Ethernet port on a source node behaves as an extension of the Sonet/SDH circuit that connects the source to a destination node on the ring.
An alternative to multiplexed EoS is switched EoS, which enables each Gigabit Ethernet port to switch traffic to multiple destinations on a metro ring at wire speeds.
In a multiplexed EoS architecture, that port-count explosion has to be replicated in all the nodes in the network, adding to overall cost.
