Fax

Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax, is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones. The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy. Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner. Since the 1980s, most machines modulate the transmitted audio frequencies using a digital representation of the page which is compressed to quickly transmit areas which are all-white or all-black.

History

Wire transmission

Scottish inventor Alexander Bain worked on chemical mechanical fax type devices and in 1846 was able to reproduce graphic signs in laboratory experiments. He received patent 9745 on May 27, 1843 for his "Electric Printing Telegraph."Frederick Bakewell made several improvements on Bain's design and demonstrated a telefax machine. The Pantelegraph was invented by the Italian physicist Giovanni Caselli. He introduced the first commercial telefax service between Paris and Lyon in 1865, some 11 years before the invention of the telephone.

    Cause To Be Alarmed

    by: Fixx

    A little kid goes from
    size one to size two
    still we have same job
    what is it that we do
    all the change that's going on
    in that tiny mind
    still we're indecisive,
    still we're wasting time
    and there's cause, cause,
    cause to be alarmed
    who feeds the dove
    who gives the world its charm
    cause, cause, cause to be alarmed
    we are pumped up fantasies
    until the world's disarmed
    a little hungry face
    deserved more than roots to chew
    they will erupt "enough's enough"
    they'll lay the blame on you
    and these perceiving minds observe
    to count the final score
    no treasure chest, to reinvest
    just a bunch of whores
    and there is cause, cause,
    cause to be alarmed
    no making love
    until the world's disarmed
    cause, cause, cause to be alarmed
    a frigid little fantasy
    until the world's disarmed
    fly bird high bird
    a love bird got shot
    heard the lead bird's a dead bird
    a new mind goes from birth,
    to full view to old fool
    still we have the same face
    just what do we achieve?
    all these minds that think alike
    do damage to the strain
    where we stand the very spot
    we will not stand again
    and there is cause, cause,
    cause to be alarmed
    who feeds the dove
    who gives the world its charm
    cause, cause, cause to be alarmed
    we are pumped up fantasies
    until the world is disarmed
    fly bird high bird
    go see bird and tell bird
    that a love bird got shot,
