Part of the Electronics glossary: A wavelet is a mathematical function useful in digital signal processing and image compression . The use of wavelets for these purposes is a recent development, although the theory is not new. The principles are similar to those of Fourier analysis, which was first developed in the early part of the 19th century. In signal processing, wavelets make it possible to recover weak signals from noise .
Privacy and Security Officer Brief: HIPAA regulations state that you must formally designate a Privacy Officer and a Security Officer. These can be the same person. Privacy Officer: A covered entity must designate a privacy official who is responsible for the development and implementation of the policies and procedures of the entity.
