4264-821: The "birthday party" Shanghai Kelly threw for himself, in order to attract enough victims to man a notorious sailing ship named the Reefer and two other ships. Demand for manpower to keep ships sailing to Alaska and the Klondike kept crimping a real danger into the early 20th century, but the practice was finally ended by a series of legislative reforms that spanned almost 50 years. Before 1865, maritime labor laws primarily enforced stricter discipline on board ships. However, after 1865, this began to change. In 1868, New York State started cracking down on sailors' boardinghouses. They declined in number from 169 in 1863 to 90 in 1872. Then in 1871, Congress passed legislation to revoke

Soon afterwards, other media content appeared, such as news, video games, jokes, horoscopes, TV content and advertising. Most early content for mobile phones tended to be copies of legacy media , such as banner advertisements or TV news highlight video clips. Recently, unique content for mobile phones has been emerging, from ringtones and ringback tones to mobisodes , video content that has been produced exclusively for mobile phones. In many countries, mobile phones are used to provide mobile banking services, which may include

6968-469: The call, from detecting the presence of a handset in a service area, temporary assignment of a channel to a handset making a call, interface with the land-line side of the network to connect to other subscribers, and collection of billing information for the service. The automation systems can control the "hand off" of a customer handset moving between one cell and another so that a call in progress continues without interruption, changing channels if required. In

7072-399: The clock rate (generally given in multiples of hertz ) but also the memory hierarchy also greatly affects overall performance. Because of these problems, the performance of mobile phone CPUs is often more appropriately given by scores derived from various standardized tests to measure the real effective performance in commonly used applications. One of the main characteristics of phones is

7176-407: The committee with UMTS (3G). In addition to transmitting voice over digital signals, the 2G network introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages, then expanding to Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and mobile internet with a theoretical maximum transfer speed of 384 kbit/s (48 kB/s). In 2001, the third-generation ( 3G ) was launched in Japan by NTT DoCoMo on

7280-490: The commuting patterns of Beijing city residents. In the UK and US, law enforcement and intelligence services use mobile phones to perform surveillance operations. Shanghaiing Shanghaiing or crimping is the practice of kidnapping people to serve as sailors by coercive techniques such as trickery, intimidation, or violence. Those engaged in this form of kidnapping were known as crimps . The related term press gang refers specifically to impressment practices in

7384-435: The concept of frequency reuse allowing many simultaneous telephone conversations in a given service area. This allows efficient use of the limited radio spectrum allocated to mobile services, and lets thousands of subscribers converse at the same time within a given geographic area. Former systems would cover a service area with one or two powerful base stations with a range of up to tens of kilometers' (miles), using only

7488-545: The crossover film Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle , Ahim can perform the Pink Double Attack Part 2 ( ピンクダブルアタックパート２ , Pinku Daburu Atakku Pāto Tsū ) alongside Super Gosei Pink . In Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger , Ahim can transform into Cross Armor Mode, gaining the use of a quadruple-barrelled cannon on her right leg. Ahim de Famille is portrayed by Yui Koike ( 小池 唯 , Koike Yui ) . Gai Ikari ( 伊狩 鎧 , Ikari Gai )

7592-415: The earliest mobile phone systems by contrast, all control was done manually; the customer would search for an unoccupied channel and speak to a mobile operator to request connection of a call to a landline number or another mobile. At the termination of the call the mobile operator would manually record the billing information. Mobile phones communicate with cell towers that are placed to give coverage across

7696-520: The economics of seafaring. Without acres of canvas to be furled and unfurled, the demand for unskilled labor greatly diminished (and, by extension, crimping). The sinking of the RMS Titanic , followed by the onset of World War I (which made the high seas a much more dangerous place due to the threat of submarine attack), provided the final impetus to stamp out the practice. In 1915, Andrew Furuseth and Senator Robert M. La Follette pushed through

7800-496: The end of 2009. In 2014, there were more than seven billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide, a number that is expected to keep growing. Mobile phones are used for a variety of purposes, such as keeping in touch with family members, for conducting business, and in order to have access to a telephone in the event of an emergency. Some people carry more than one mobile phone for different purposes, such as for business and personal use. Multiple SIM cards may be used to take advantage of

7904-531: The ergonomics associated with smaller 16:9 displays. Liquid-crystal displays are the most common; others are IPS , LED , OLED , and AMOLED displays. Some displays are integrated with pressure-sensitive digitizers, such as those developed by Wacom and Samsung , and Apple's " 3D Touch " system. In sound, smartphones and feature phones vary little. Some audio-quality enhancing features, such as Voice over LTE and HD Voice , have appeared and are often available on newer smartphones. Sound quality can remain

8008-420: The expected usage density, and may be much smaller in cities. In that case much lower transmitter powers are used to avoid broadcasting beyond the cell. In order to handle the high traffic, multiple towers can be set up in the same area (using different frequencies). This can be done permanently or temporarily such as at special events or in disasters. Cell phone companies will bring a truck with equipment to host

8112-486: The first quarter of 2016, the top smartphone developers worldwide were Samsung , Apple and Huawei ; smartphone sales represented 78 percent of total mobile phone sales. For feature phones as of 2016 , the top-selling brands were Samsung, Nokia and Alcatel . Mobile phones are considered an important human invention as they have been one of the most widely used and sold pieces of consumer technology. The growth in popularity has been rapid in some places, for example, in

8216-461: The galaxy and plan to invade Earth for their emperor, Akudos Gill. While the first 34 Sentai teams foiled Zangyack's first invasion attempt during the Legend War ( レジェンド大戦 , Rejendo Taisen ) , Zangyack launches a stronger, second invasion led by the emperor's son Warz Gill from his chariot -like flagship, the Gigant Horse ( ギガントホース , Giganto Hōsu ) . They initially see the Gokaigers as

8320-599: The growth of bandwidth-intensive applications, such as streaming media . Consequently, the industry began looking to data-optimized fourth-generation ( 4G ) technologies, with the promise of speed improvements up to tenfold over existing 3G technologies. The first publicly available LTE service was launched in Scandinavia by TeliaSonera in 2009. In the 2010s, 4G technology has found diverse applications across various sectors, showcasing its versatility in delivering high-speed wireless communication, such as mobile broadband,

8424-621: The heroes to defeat them and destroy the Big Machine with Rocket Drill Go-BusterOh . Commander Warz Gill ( 司令官ワルズ・ギル , Shireikan Waruzu Giru ) is the hotheaded, inept, petty, and paranoid swash -themed field commander of the Zangyack invasion forces, prince of the Zangyack Empire, and the son of Akudos Gill, whom Warz is desperate to prove himself to. In pursuit of this goal, however, he comes off as hysterical, lashing out when his missions fail. Warz especially shows anger towards Damaras, whom he knows Akudos sent to watch over him because his father lacks faith in him. Despite eventually learning of

8528-569: The influence of European companies had significantly decreased due to fierce competition from American and Asian companies, to where most technical innovation had shifted. Apple and Google, both of the United States, also came to dominate mobile phone software. The world's largest individual mobile operator by number of subscribers is China Mobile , which has over 902 million mobile phone subscribers as of June 2018 . Over 50 mobile operators have over ten million subscribers each, and over 150 mobile operators had at least one million subscribers by

8632-581: The license of officers guilty of mistreating seamen. In 1872, Congress passed the Shipping Commissioners Act of 1872 to combat crimps. Under this act, a sailor had to sign on to a ship in the presence of a federal shipping commissioner. The presence of a shipping commissioner was intended to ensure the sailor wasn't "forcibly or unknowingly signed on by a crimp". In 1884, the Dingley Act came into effect. This law prohibited

8736-414: The local cell and in the adjacent cells. However, cells further away can re-use that channel without interference as the subscriber's handset is too far away to be detected. The transmitter power of each base station is coordinated to efficiently service its own cell, but not to interfere with the cells further away. Automation embedded in the customer's handset and in the base stations control all phases of

8840-399: The phone and the point of sale support near field communication (NFC). Enabling contactless payments through NFC-equipped mobile phones requires the co-operation of manufacturers, network operators, and retail merchants. Mobile phones are commonly used to collect location data. While the phone is turned on, the geographical location of a mobile phone can be determined easily (whether it

8944-567: The phone close to the ear. The average phone battery lasts two–three years at best. Many of the wireless devices use a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery, which charges 500–2500 times, depending on how users take care of the battery and the charging techniques used. It is only natural for these rechargeable batteries to chemically age, which is why the performance of the battery when used for a year or two will begin to deteriorate. Battery life can be extended by draining it regularly, not overcharging it, and keeping it away from heat. Mobile phones require

9048-416: The pirates. However, Damaras' efforts to convince Warz to prioritize crippling the Gokaigers' chances of earning Great Powers are hindered by Warz's single-minded focus on Zangyack's invasion of Earth. After the Gokaigers kill Warz, Damaras vows vengeance but allows Akudos to relieve him of his position and send him to the brig out of shame despite being able to easily escape. Nonetheless, Akudos gives Damaras

9152-488: The practice of seamen taking advances on wages. It also limited the making of seamen's allotments to only close relatives. However, the crimps fought back. In 1886, a loophole to the Dingley Act was created, allowing boardinghouse keepers to receive seamen's allotments. The widespread adoption of steam-powered vessels in the world's merchant marine services in the late 19th and early 20th centuries radically altered

9256-499: The practice was driven by a shortage of labor, particularly of skilled labor on ships on the West Coast. With crews abandoning ships en masse because of the California Gold Rush , a healthy body on board the ship was a boon. By 1886, San Francisco surpassed New Bedford, Massachusetts as the United States ' leading whaling port. Finally, shanghaiing was made possible by the existence of boarding masters, whose job

9360-562: The primary members carry a cutlass -like Gokai Saber ( ゴーカイサーベル , Gōkai Sāberu ) and a flintlock -like Gokai Gun ( ゴーカイガン , Gōkai Gan ) as sidearms , both of which can be used with items called Ranger Keys to perform special Final Wave ( ファイナルウェーブ , Fainaru Wēbu ) finishing attacks such as the Gokai Slash ( ゴーカイスラッシュ , Gōkai Surasshu ) via the Gokai Saber, the Gokai Blast ( ゴーカイブラスト , Gōkai Burasuto ) via

9464-400: The run, she came across the Gokaigers and asked to join them. Ahim can transform into Gokai Pink ( ゴーカイピンク , Gōkai Pinku ) . While transformed, she primarily dual wields a pair of Gokai Guns. During her early days with the Gokaigers, she had no martial prowess and a tendency to make a mess. By the time the pirates arrive on Earth, she became fully capable of holding her own in battle. In

9568-552: The second-generation ( 2G ) digital cellular technology was launched in Finland by Radiolinja on the GSM standard. This sparked competition in the sector as the new operators challenged the incumbent 1G network operators. The GSM standard is a European initiative expressed at the CEPT ("Conférence Européenne des Postes et Telecommunications", European Postal and Telecommunications conference). The Franco-German R&D cooperation demonstrated

9672-401: The technical feasibility, and in 1987, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between 13 European countries that agreed to launch a commercial service by 1991. The first version of the GSM standard had 6,000 pages. The IEEE and RSE awarded Thomas Haug and Philippe Dupuis the 2018 James Clerk Maxwell medal for their contributions to the first digital mobile telephone standard. In 2018,

9776-405: The treasure, opting to confront the Zangyack Empire with their strength. The "Will of the Planet" is voiced by Tomokazu Seki ( 関 智一 , Seki Tomokazu ) , who also serves as the series' narrator and the voice of the Gokaigers' equipment. The Space Empire Zangyack ( 宇宙帝国ザンギャック , Uchū Teikoku Zangyakku ) are a race of aliens who have conquered and destroyed untold numbers of planets across

9880-510: The use of a double-barreled gun on his left arm. Don Dogoier is portrayed by Kazuki Shimizu ( 清水 一希 , Shimizu Kazuki ) . Ahim de Famille ( アイム・ド・ファミーユ , Aimu do Famīyu ) is the pirates' diplomat who eases tension among her teammates and is the most fascinated by Earth culture. Prior to joining them, she was the princess of the planet Famille before the Zangyack Imperial Guard destroyed her home planet. While on

9984-699: The use of native software applications are known as smartphones . The first GSM phones and many feature phones had NOR flash memory, from which processor instructions could be executed directly in an execute in place architecture and allowed for short boot times. With smartphones, NAND flash memory was adopted as it has larger storage capacities and lower costs, but causes longer boot times because instructions cannot be executed from it directly, and must be copied to RAM memory first before execution. Mobile phones have central processing units (CPUs), similar to those in computers, but optimised to operate in low power environments. Mobile CPU performance depends not only on

10088-412: Was attributed to the desire to obtain the lowest calling costs. When the removal of a SIM card is detected by the operating system, it may deny further operation until a reboot. Feature phones have basic software platforms. Smartphones have advanced software platforms. Android OS has been the best-selling OS worldwide on smartphones since 2011. A mobile app is a computer program designed to run on

10192-487: Was converted into Barizorg, Bamick was an expert swordsman who could perform the Ittō-ryū Soul Blade ( 一刀流ソウルブレード , Ittō-ryū Sōru Burēdo ) attack, which Barizorg retains following his conversion. Cellphone A mobile phone or cell phone is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area, as opposed to

10296-587: Was demonstrated by Martin Cooper of Motorola in New York City on 3 April 1973, using a handset weighing c. 2 kilograms (4.4 lbs). In 1979, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) launched the world's first cellular network in Japan. In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first commercially available handheld mobile phone. From 1983 to 2014, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew to over seven billion; enough to provide one for every person on Earth. In

10400-555: Was followed in 1981 by the simultaneous launch of the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Several other countries then followed in the early to mid-1980s. These first-generation ( 1G ) systems could support far more simultaneous calls but still used analog cellular technology. In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first commercially available handheld mobile phone. In 1991,

10504-433: Was forcibly converted into a cyborg by Zangyack scientist Zaien and had most of his memories erased save for his swordsmanship. While Barizorg eventually learns what happened to him, his programming makes him ignore the information. After Warz uses the Great Warz to overpower the Gokaigers, he sends Barizorg to kill them. The latter encounters and faces Joe in battle, during which he is killed, freeing Bamick's soul. Before he

10608-507: Was launched in Finland in 2000, and subsequently many organizations provided "on-demand" and "instant" news services by SMS. Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) was introduced in March 2002. The introduction of Apple's App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch in July 2008 popularized manufacturer-hosted online distribution for third-party applications (software and computer programs) focused on

10712-508: Was market leader in mobile phones. Nokia was the market leader in mobile phones from 1998 to 2012. In Q1 2012, Samsung surpassed Nokia, selling 93.5 million units as against Nokia's 82.7 million units. Samsung has retained its top position since then. Aside from Motorola, European brands such as Nokia, Siemens and Ericsson once held large sway over the global mobile phone market, and many new technologies were pioneered in Europe. By 2010,

10816-410: Was to find crews for ships. Boarding masters were paid "by the body", and thus had a strong incentive to place as many seamen on ships as possible. This pay was called " blood money ", and was just one of the revenue streams available. These factors set the stage for the crimp: a boarding master who uses trickery, intimidation, or violence to put a sailor on a ship. The most straightforward method for
