FROM ELECTRONS TO BITS
All electrons and bits are related. The bits is a representation of information as binary state
(zeros or ones) and electrons are particles that move or not.
INFORMATION AND ELECTRICAL SIGNALS
(1) How is information communicated electrically?
(2) How do you extract information from a signal?
(3) How are analog signals communicated digitally? (An analog is like a physical signal)
>> signals = can be voice, music, video, the text you type,…
è A signal is a function of time and/or space.
ANALOG SIGNALS
SPEECH RECORDING OF THE LETTER “e”. The signal is a function. If something goes up, it must
go back (=control of the absolute position of the membrane, it is not just a dumping effect).
The amplitude can be negative. In the case, the time is still discrete because it is a digital
recording of this analog signal.
We see that there is a lot of information in the sampling of the sound. 44.1 kHz means over
44.1 per second, we measure the state of the amplitude, we record the position of the
membrane (= a lot of information).
SOUND FROM A SYNTHESIZER INSTRUMENT. Electronic equipment. Here, we get a very clean
signal. It is a simple signal made of sinusoid. This is an artificial signal. The goal of synthesis is to
approximate the reality using simple electronics and simple physics of the sinusoid voice.
5
,There is a motion. This motion moves a little magnet which will modulate the flow of electricity
through the cable.
When you write a text, there is a sequence of letters. If you encore id digitally, you associate it
with numbers (A with 65, B with 66). There is a table with common agreement (ASCII: American
Standard Code with Information Interchange).
With this table, we can interpret numbers and replace them with a glyph of that number. The
graph is a function of that representation. This function is discrete (index instead of time
dimension) and you have a value (also discrete). The text is a function where the time is
discretized into text and it gives ?
6
,AMERICAN STANDARD CODE FOR INFORMATION INTERCHANGE
The 0w02 and so on: (hexadecimal notation) way to write a number that is really used in the
digital word by computer scientists, engineers and so on.
NUMBERS IN DECIMAL (10) AND HEXADECIMAL (16) NOTATIONS
7
,When you have 4 bits you have 16 possibilities (because we group zeros and ones by 4)
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f = 16 digits in hexadecimal notation
The second line is the same but in hexadecimal notation. F is the glyph in hexadecimal notation.
42 = 2A in hexadecimal notation à 42(dec) = 2A(hex)
42= 2*16^1 + 10*16^0
100(dec) = 64(hex)
100 = 1x10^2 + 0x16^1 + 3x16^0
3F(hex) = ???(dec) à 3x16^1 + 15(F)x16^0 = 63
57005 (dec) in hexadecimal = 5x10^4 + 7x10^3
99(hex) = ???(dec) à 9*16 + 9= 153
10(hex) = 10 (dec) = 10 (base 4) = 10 (base X)
1 x base^1 + 0xbase^0 = 1 base^1, always written “10”
8
,ALTERNATIVE WAY OF CALCULATING HEXADECIMAL:
479 (dec) to (hex) :
= 29.9375 = 29 with remainder 15 (calculated from 0.9375*16)
Then: = 1.8125 = 1 with remainder 13 (calculated from 0.8125*16)
Then: = 0.0625 = 0 with remainder 1 (calculated from 0.0625*16)
15 -> F (Least Significant Digit)
13 -> D
1 -> 1 (Most Significant Digit)
à So, we read it from bottom to top. 47910 à 1DF16
D3E5C (hex) to (dec):
D à 164
3 à 163
E à 162
5 à 161
C à 160
(" × 16! ) + (3 × 16" ) + () × 16# ) + (5 × 16$ ) + (+ × 16% )
==> (13 × 16! ) + (3 × 16" ) + (14 × 16# ) + (5 × 16$ ) + (12 × 16% )
==> 851 968 + 12 288 + 3584 + 92 = 867 932
An imagine is a function of 2D space.
What is a television signal? What kind of dimension? 3D.
A television signal is a function of time and 2D space. The moving image and sound over it
doesn’t mean that the dimension is 4D. It is another signal synchronized on it.
Numbers are represented with digits. In hexadecimal notation we have 16 digits.
With two digits in hexadecimal notation, you can represent 16*16 different numbers.

, Lecture 2
SEMAPHORE
This doesn’t work with electricity because electricity wasn’t invented yet. It was an invention
of 1792.
It is a semaphore. There is a guy that pull on strings and animate this device to make signs.
When you wanted to transmit a message from Paris to Lyon, you transmitted the message with
gesture, and somebody was receiving the message using a telescope and redoing the message.
It is a mean of transmitting information using codes. The information is encoded into visual
signs and it is broadcasted.
The medium is air and the particle that carry information is the photon. Because it is a visual
information, we use photons à Optical transfer of information.
