The process of using separate but identical navigational instruments where one is fixed at a known location and provides, via radio link, a second mobile instrument with offset calculations. This process is used to increase the accuracy of certain navigational instruments that may be affected by diurnal or atmospheric variations such as Loran, and those with inherent errors such as GPS.

a special gearbox designed so that the torque fed into it is split and delivered to two outputs that can turn at different speeds. Differentials within axles are designed to split torque evenly; however, when used between the front and rear axles in four-wheel drive systems (a center differential), they can be designed to apportion torque unevenly.

When using an unbalanced interconnect, the audio signal runs through both the center wire and the shield/ground wire. Any noise picked up by this interconnect (ie, nearby magnetic fields such as an AC power cord) will be reproduced by the amplifier and heard through the loudspeakers. Conversely, a balanced interconnect has three separate conductors; one for the ground and two for the actual signal. These two signals are identical except that one is 180 degrees out of phase with the other. ...
