Definition: Pulse |
PulseNoun1. (electronics) a sharp transient wave in the normal electrical state (or a series of such transients); "the pulsations seemed to be coming from a star". 2. The rhythmic contraction and expansion of the arteries with each beat of the heart; "he could feel the beat of her heart". 3. The rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health. 4. Edible seeds of various pod-bearing plants (peas or beans or lentils etc.). Verb1. Expand and contract rhythmically; beat rhythmically; "The city pulsed with with music and excitement". 2. Produce or modulate (as electromagnetic waves) in the form of short bursts or pulses or cause an apparatus to produce pulses; "pulse waves"; "a transmitter pulsed by an electronic tube". 3. Drive by or as if by pulsation; "A soft breeze pulsed the air". Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Date "pulse" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1010. (references) |
| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | 1. A variation of a quantity whose value is normally constant; this variation is characterized by a rise and a decay, and has a finite duration. The word pulse normally refers to a variation in time; when the variation is in some other dimensions, it should be so specified, such as space pulse. This definition is so broad that it covers almost any transient phenomenon. The only features common to all pulses are rise, finite duration, and decay. It is necessary that the rise, duration, and decay be of a quantity that is constant (not necessarily zero) for sometime before the pulse and has the same constant value for some time afterwards. The quantity has a normally constant value and is perturbed during the pulse. No relative time scale can be assigned. 2. Radar, sense 2.3. The intermittent change in the shape of an artery due to an increase in the tension of its walls following the contraction of the heart. The pulse is usually counted at the wrist (radial pulse), but may be taken over any artery that can be felt. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In medicine, a person's pulse is the throbbing of a person's arteries as an effect of their heart beat, which can be felt at the wrist and other places. The term is also used to denote the frequency of the heart beat, usually measured in beats per minute. Pulses are manually palpated with two fingers, generally the pointer and middle finger. The thumb must not be used because it has its own pulse that will be felt instead of the patient's pulse. The two fingers must be placed near to an artery in order to feel the blood pulsating through the circulatory system.
The ease of palpability of a pulse is dictated by the patient's blood pressure. If his or her systolic blood pressure is below 90, the radial pulse will not be palpable. If his or her systolic blood pressure is below eighty, the brachial pulse will not be palpable. If his or her systolic blood pressure is below sixty, the carotid pulse will not be palpable. Since systolic blood pressure rarely drops that low, the lack of a carotid pulse indicates death. It is not unheard of, however, for patients with certain injuries, illnesses or other medical problems to be conscious and aware with no palpable pulse.
- radial pulse - located on the thumb side of the wrist
- carotid pulse - located in the neck
- brachial pulse - located in between the bicep and tricep; frequently used in place of carotid pulse in infants, who have no neck
- femoral pulse - located in the thigh
- dorsalis pedis pulse - located on top of the foot
- medial malleolar pulse - located in the back of the ankle
- temporal pulse - located on the temple
A normal pulse rate for a healthy adult, while resting, can range from sixty to ninety beats per minute (BPM). While asleep, this can drop to as low as forty BPM and during strenuous exercise, it can raise as high as 200-220 BPM. Generally, pulse rates go up as the patient gets younger. A resting heart rate for an infant is as high as an adult during strenuous exercise, and can be even higher.
In telecommunication, the term pulse has the following meanings:
Original source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188
- A rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value.
- A rapid change in some characteristic of a signal, e.g., phase or frequency, from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value.
- In telephony pulse dialing is a way of dialing a telephone number using interrupted electrical pulses (see rotary dial).
In agriculture, a pulse is a leguminous plant, or its seeds, for example beans and peas.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Pulse dialing, also called Rotary or Decadic dialling in UK, (because up to 10 pulses are sent), is Pulsing in which a direct-current pulse train is produced by interrupting a steady signal according to a fixed or formatted code for each digit and at a standard pulse repetition rate.Dial pulsing originated with a rotary dial integrated into telephone instruments, for the purpose of signaling. Subsequent applications use electronic circuits to generate dial pulses. Synonym pulsing.
Because the pulses are generated through the making and breaking of the telephone connection (akin to flicking a light switch on and off), all that is really needed to dial a number with pulse dialing is a switch (ie. the telephone receiver button). Each number is represented by a series of rapid clicks to the appropriate value (one click for 1, two clicks for 2, etc.) except 0 which has ten clicks. Individual digits in a phone number need to be separated with a short pause so as not to bleed into each other, and in keypad based pulse dialing, digits need to be 'cached' when dialed rapidly -- in rotary systems the user must wait for the rotor to turn back to the correct position before the next digit can be dialed.
Modern phones increasingly use dual tone multi frequency (also called touch tone or tone dialing) rather than pulse dialing.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) defines pulses as annual leguminous crops yielding from one to 12 grains or seeds of variable size, shape and coulour within a pod. Pulses are used for food and animal feed.The term pulses is reserved for crops harvested solely for the dry grain and therefore excludes green beans and green peas, which are considered vegetable crops. Also excluded are crops which are mainly grown for oil extraction, like soybeans and peanuts, and crops which are used exclusively for sowing (clovers, alfalfa).
Pulses are important food crops due to their high protein and essential amino acid content. Like many leguminous crops, pulses play a key role in crop rotation due to their ability to fix nitrogen.
Statistics
India is both the world's largest producer and the world's largest importer of pulses.
Canada, Myanmar, Australia and the United States are significant exporters of pulses. (Note: these are the four most significant suppliers of India's imports, in that order.)
The vast majority of leguminous crops grown in the United States are peanuts and soybeans used as cattle feed and for extraction of vegetable oil, which are not considered pulses (see above).
Classification of pulses
FAO recognizes 11 primary pulses.
