Data transmission is, very generally speaking, the conscious act of moving any kind of information from one space to another. Historically this could be done by courier, a chain of bonfires or semaphores, and later by Morse code over copper wires.In recent computer terms, it means sending a stream of bytes from one location to another using any number of technologies to do so. Among them are copper wire, optical fibre, radio-link, laser, radio or infra-red light.
A related concept to data transmission is the data transmission protocol used to make the data transfer legible. Current protocols favour packet based communication.

Electric power transmission is the second process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. Electricity is transmitted from remote electricity generation power plants and sold to end consumers by retailerss via electric power transmission and electricity distribution. The rapid industrialization in the 20th century made electric power transmission lines and grids a critical part of the economic infrastructure in most industrialized nations.They allow large centralized facilities such as hydroelectric dams, fossil fuel burning steam turbine plants, nuclear power plants, etc. run by large public and private utility organizations to produce large quantities of energy and then deliver it to distribution networks for delivery to retail customers for consumption.
The first large scale hydroelectric generators in the USA (engineered and installed under the technical oversight of Nikola Tesla) were installed at Niagara Falls and provided electricity to Buffalo, New York via power transmission lines.
Grid input
In a typical transmission grid, substations at the generating plants step (transform) the medium voltage electric power (15 - 50 kV) up to high voltage (220 - 400 kV) alternating current (AC) for transmission over longer distances to a grid exit substation.
It is necessary to transmit the electricity at high voltage to reduce the percentage loss of power over long distances: for a given cable the loss of power is proportional to the square of the current, while for a given transported power, this current is inversely proportional to the voltage. Long distance transmission is typically at voltages of 100kV and higher.
It is argued by some that proximity to a high voltage power line presents a danger to the animals and humans living nearby. Some have claimed that electromagnetic radiation from high-tension lines causes elevated risk of certain types of cancer. Some studies have purported to identify the risk, while other studies have not.
Grid exit
Substations step the voltage down and supply electricity to low voltage local power lines for distribution. Typically, the electricity is transformed to a sub-transmission voltage (66 - 132 kV) using interconnecting transformers and then transformed to a medium voltage (10 - 50 kV). Finally, in the distribution substation, the power is transformed to low voltage (220 - 330 V).
In the U.S.A. the most commonly supplied power from distribution lines to small end users is via single phase or three phase as defined by standards such as the National Electric Code.
Communications
Transmission lines can also be used to carry data: this is called power-line carrier, or PLC.
Status
Transmission is a natural monopoly and there are moves in many countries to separately regulate transmission (see New Zealand Electricity Market). In the USA the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) setting out a proposed Standard Market Design (SMD) that would see the establishment of Regional Transmission Operators (RTOs).

Telecommunication is the technique of transmitting a message, from one point or place to another with the typical additional attiribute of being bi-directional. In practice it also recognizes that something may be lost in the process; hence the term 'telecommunication' covers all forms of distance communications, including radio, telegraphy, television, telephony, data communication and computer networking.The elements of a telecommunication system are a transmitter, a medium (line) and possibly a channel imposed upon the medium (see baseband and broadband as well as multiplexing), and a receiver. The transmitter is a device that transforms or encodes the message into a physical phenomenon; the signal. The transmission medium, by its physical nature, is likely to modify or degrade the signal on its path from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver has a decoding mechanism capable of recovering the message within certain limits of signal degradation. In some cases, the final "receiver" is the human eye and/or ear (or in some extreme cases other sense organs) and the recovery of the message is done by the brain (see psychoacoustics.)
Telecommunication can be point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or broadcasting, which is a particular form of point-to-multipoint that goes only from the transmitter to the receivers.
The art of the telecommunications engineer is to analyse the physical properties of the line or transmission medium, and the statistical properties of the message in order to design the most effective encoding and decoding mechanisms.
When systems are designed to communicate through human sense organs (mainly vision and hearing), physiological and psychological characteristics of human perception will be taken into account. This has important economic implications and engineers will research what defects may be tolerated in the signal yet not affect the viewing or hearing experience too badly.
Examples of Human (tele)communications
In a simplistic example, take a normal conversation between you and a friend. The message is the sentence your mind decides to communicate to your friend. The transmitter is the language areas in your brain, the motor cortex, your vocal cords, the larynx, and your mouth that produce those sounds called speech. The signal is the sound waves that can be identified as speech. The channel is the air carrying those sound waves, and all the acoustic properties of the space you are in: echoes, ambient noise, reverberation. Between you and your friend (the receiver), may be other technologies that do or do not introduce their own distortions of the original vocal signal (e.g. telephone, HAM radio, IP phone, etc.) The penultimate receiver is your friend's ear, the auditory nerve, the language areas in your friend's brain that will make the difference between your voice and the sound of a car passing by, and decode your speech into, hopefully, the same sentence.The car passing by is an example of an important property of the channel called noise. Another important aspect of the channel is called the bandwidth, and you would become very aware of the effects of a limited bandwidth if you were now talking to your friend on a telephone or a walkie-talkie.
Other Background
Bell Labs scientist Claude E. Shannon published A Mathematical Theory of Communication in 1948. This landmark publication was to set the mathematical models used to describe communication systems called information theory. Information theory enables us to evaluate the capacity of a communication channel according to its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio.At the time of publication, telecommunication systems were predominantly based on analog electronic circuit design. The introduction of mass-produced digital integrated circuits has enabled telecom engineers to take full advantage of information theory. From the demands of telecom circuitry, a whole specialist area of integrated circuit design has emerged called digital signal processing.
Possible imperfections in a communication channel are: shot noise, thermal noise, latency, non-linear channel transfer function, sudden signal drops, bandwidth limitations, signal reflections (echos). More recent telecommunications systems take advantage of some of these imperfections to actually improve the quality of the channel.
Modern telecommunication systems make extensive use of time synchronization. There is a link between the development of telecommunications and very fine-grained (microsecond) time-keeping technology. Until the recent rise of the use of IP Telephony, most modern, wide-area telecommunications systems were synchronised to atomic clocks, or to secondary clocks synchronised to atomic time.
See modulation for examples of techniques for encoding information into analog signals.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In its original usage, a transmission was a mechanical assembly, usually with gears, for changing the nature of motion supplied by some sort of power source to make it more suitable for utilization equipment. Early transmissions included right-angle drives and other gearing in windmills, horsepowers, and steam engines, mainly in support of pumping, milling, and hoisting applications.Most commonly today, the transmission is a component of the automobile. Two main types are in use today: the automatic transmission, and the manual, synchronized transmission. Earlier cars and trucks used an unsynchronized transmission.
Transmissions are also used in agricultural, industrial, construction, and mining equipment. In addition to ordinary transmission equipped with gears, such equipment makes extensive use of the hydrostatic drive and Ward-Leonard controls.
Simple transmissions
The simplest transmissions, sometimes called gearcases, provide gear reduction (or, more rarely, an increase in speed), sometimes in conjunction with a right-angle change in direction of the shaft. These are often used on PTO powered agricultural equipment, since the axial PTO shaft is at odds with the usual need for the driven shaft, which is either vertical (as with rotary mowers), or horizontally extending from one side of the implement to another (as with manure spreaders, flail mowers, and forage wagons. More complex equipment, such as silage choppers and snowblowers, has drives with outputs in more than one direction.
Regardless of where they are used, these simple transmissions all share an important feature: the gear ratio cannot be changed during use. It is fixed at the time the transmission is constructed.
Unsynchronized transmission
The earliest automotive transmissions were unsynchronized. They could be shifted, with multiple gear ratios available to the operator, and even had reverse. But the gears were engaged by sliding mechanisms or simple clutches, which required a skilled operator who could use timing and careful throttle manipulation when shifting, so that the gears would be spinning at roughly the same speed when engaged.
When upshifting, double clutching was sometimes used. However, many transmssions were easier to shift from one gear to another without the use of the clutch at all. The clutch, in these cases, was only used for starting and stopping.
Most transmissions used in automotive and truck applications are contained in a cast iron case, though sometimes aluminum is used for lower weight. There are three shafts: a mainshaft, a coutershaft, and an idler shaft.
The mainshaft extends outside the case in both directions: the input shaft towards the engine, and the output shaft towards the rear axle. The shaft is suspended by the main bearings, and is split towards the input end. At the point of the split, the pilot bearing holds the shafts together. The gears and clutches ride on the mainshaft, the gears being free to turn relative to the mainshaft except when engaged by the clutches.
The countershaft is generally below the mainshaft and turns in the opposite direction, driven by a bevel gear on the input shaft.
Synchornized transmission
Synchronized transmissions began to appear in the 1930s, and incorporated synchronizers that were capable of bringing the countershaft up to speed, and aligning the gears in phase, prior to engagement. By the 1960s most passenger automobiles with manual transmissions were synchronized.
Automatic transmission
In telecommunication, the term transmission has the following meanings:
1. The dispatching, for reception elsewhere, of a signal, message, or other form of information.
2. The propagation of a signal, message, or other form of information by any means, such as by telegraph, telephone, radio, television, or facsimile via any medium, such as wire, coaxial cable, microwave, optical fiber, or radio frequency.
3. In communications systems, a series of data units, such as blocks, messages, or frames.
4. The transfer of electrical power from one location to another via conductors.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
An automobile transmission is an intermediary device for transmitting the rotary energy of the car's engine at a suitable rotation speed, to the differential and from there to the driving wheels.The need for a transmission is a consequence of the characteristics of the internal combustion engine. Engines typically operate over a range of 600 to about 6000 revolutions per minute (though this varies from design to design), whilst the car's wheels rotate at anything from 0 rpm to about 2500 rpm. Furthermore, the engine provides its highest torque outputs approximately in the middle of its range, whilst often the greatest torque is required when the vehicle is moving from rest or travelling slowly. Therefore, a system that transforms the engine's output so that it can supply high torque at low speeds, but also operate at highway speeds with the motor still operating within its limits, is required. Transmissions perform this transformation.
There are two main transmission designs in common use - the manual transmission, an entirely mechanical gearing system, and the automatic transmission, which uses hydraulics as well as mechanical gearing, and partially automates the gear selection process. Recent developments have included electronically controlled "clutchless-manuals" which technically resemble traditional manual transmissions but from a driver perspective work like an automatic, and continuously variable transmissions which rather than providing a limited set of "ratios", allow the relationship between the speed of the engine and the speed of the wheels to be varied continuously.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A transmitter is an electronic device which with the aid of an antenna propagates an electromagnetic signal such as radio, television, telecommunications, etc.A transmitter usually has a power supply, an oscillator, a modulator and audio, IF (intermediate frequency) and RF (radio frequency) amplifiers. Sometimes a device, for example, a cell phone contains both a transmitter and a radio receiver or transceiver. The modulator is the device which piggybacks (or modulates) the signal information onto the carrier radio frequency which is broadcast.

 | Shown are electron micrographs of the family of retroviruses that reproduce in t-lymphocytes. Retroviruses, which cause a variety of naturally occurring cancers in many animal species, also cause cancers in human beings. The first two human retroviruses to be discovered and characterized, human t-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) and type II (HTLV-II), have been associated with the human cancers known, respectively, as adult t-cell leukemia and hairy cell leukemia. HTLV-III is the AIDS virus, now called HIV-I. Epidemiologic studies have shown that HTLV-I infection and t-cell malignancy both cluster in certain geographic areas and in certain populations, and suggest that transmission occurs in the household, through sexual contacts, and perhaps at birth.
