The nonlinear approach has been used in works such as the films Mulholland Drive, Sin City, Premonition, Pulp Fiction, the television show Lost ( especially in many episodes in the later seasons ), and the book Catch-22.

Chrysler models with a three-speed automatic since the late 1980s have called this gear 3 while using the traditional names for Drive and Low.

DE and ES models receive a standard CVT with Drive and Low gears ; the GTS model is equipped with a standard Drive and also a Sportronic mode that allows the driver to use 6 different preset gear ratios ( either with the shifter or steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters ).

This powertrain made use of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system of integrating electric and gasoline engine motors, giving the GS 450h a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle ( SULEV ) emissions rating, and total output of, allowing the GS to accelerate in 5. 2 seconds, according to manufacturer data.

Packard's new Ultramatic model introduced in the middle of the 1954 model year, was officially called: Gear-Start Ultramatic Drive, offering a new selector sequence on the column shift: ' D ', for Drive, placed in between High, now represented with a simple dot, and Low ( PN • DLR ).

Functionality was the same ; the first Drive position, to left of the ' D equated to High on the Gear-Start Ultramatic, while the second, situated to the right of D ', was equivalent to the Drive position on the Gear-Start, giving the driver the option of starting in either High or Low with automatic upshifts, ending with Direct Drive engagement of the torque converter, thus the Twin-designation referred to this dual Drive capability.

The bottom row of buttons offered Park, Reverse and Drive, while the top row contained the Neutral, Low and High buttons.

The 1950, 1951, and 1952 Power Glide transmissions did not automatically shift between low and high ( direct drive ) which made for very sluggish take-offs and many drivers started in " Low " and shifted to " Drive " at about, which was hard on the transmission.

The road is also mentioned in the 2005 Kanye West songs " Drive Slow " and " Grammy Family ", as well as in his verse in the Boost Mobile promotional single " Whole City Behind Us.

While connecting it to Mega Drive did increase its capabilities, reluctance to adapt due to the previous failure of the Mega-CD and the upcoming Sega Saturn system led to low sales and a short lifespan.

Successor to the X60-series, the ThinkPad X200 laptop leverages the new technology from the X300, including the options of a Solid State Drive ( SSD ), an optional integrated camera, 12. 1 " widescreen display, optional 3G WWAN, a new 9-cell battery for extended running time up to 9. 8 hours, weight as low as, and CPU up to 2. 66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

< div id =" Swede's Cut "></ div > 2 miles ( 3 km ) north of the National Forest Inn is Serpentine Drive < sup >()</ sup >, where the road curves around the sides of hills as it climbs out of a low point in the route ( about above sea level ).

* The cutting: a trench cut through a low ridge on the peninsula's eastern side, which provides a throughfare from Cobham Drive to Miramar Avenue and into central Miramar.

It continued with a Packard program of modifications to improve reliability until 1954, when it underwent a major upgrade to both the power transfer and hydraulic control components reconfigured to give low gear starts automatically in the added Drive range.

In this new DRIVE range, it would use the low ratio and torque converter to start off, switching to the high ratio and ultimately to direct drive as the car accelerated ; effectively automating what many Packard drivers had been doing manually with the older Ultramatic Drive.

The 1953 and later units when in " Drive " started in low and automatically up shifted to high at a speed determined by the throttle opening.

Cranston has guest-starred in many television series, including The Flash where he plays a white-collar criminal searching for his estranged wife and daughter ; Sabrina the Teenage Witch in which he was a lawyer attempting to free Sabrina from a contract ; the sixth season episode of The X-Files, " Drive ," playing a bigoted man who is being driven insane by extremely low frequency sonar waves ; and Babylon 5 as Ericsson, the captain of a White Star vessel ordered into a suicide mission to plant misinformation within the enemy ranks.

In a 1998 episode of The X-Files titled " Drive ", Agent Mulder speculates that extremely low frequency ( ELF ) radio waves " may be behind the so-called Taos Hum ".

The low point is 622 metres at the roundabout joining Gungahlin Drive, Horse Park Drive and Clarrie Hermes drive.

For instance, when notes are played forcefully, the sound becomes less sweet, as nonlinear distortion creates a characteristic " growling " or " snarling ", called " bark " by pianists.

Early digital systems may have suffered from a number of signal degradations related to the use of analog anti-aliasing filters, e. g., time dispersion, nonlinear distortion, temperature dependence of filters etc.

In principle, PCM digital systems have the lowest level of nonlinear distortion at full signal amplitude.

For example, in electrical engineering, negative feedback is used in amplifiers to trade gain for other desirable properties, such as improved bandwidth, stability of the gain and / or bias point, noise immunity, and reduction of nonlinear distortion.

It should not be confused with harmonic distortion ( which does have widespread use in audio effects processing ), nor with intentional modulation ( such as a frequency mixer in superheterodyne receivers ) where signals to be modulated are presented to an intentional nonlinear element ( multiplied ) ( see non-linear mixers such as mixer diodes and even single-transistor oscillator-mixer circuits ).

Some graphics systems that use bitmap fonts, especially those of emulators, apply curve-sensitive nonlinear resampling algorithms such as 2xSaI or hq3x on fonts and other bitmaps, which avoids blurring the font while introducing little objectionable distortion at moderate increases in size.

Some modulation schemes, such as frequency modulation, survive the nonlinear distortion without ill effect ( but schemes such as amplitude modulation do not ).

The nonlinear distortion in crystals can be used to generate harmonics of laser light.

If the sinewave is run through a stateless nonlinear circuit ( transcribing function ), the resulting distortion creates harmonics.

It will then be observed that these common distortions actually imply a nonlinear radius mapping from the object to the image: What is seemingly pincushion distortion, is actually simply an exaggerated radius mapping for large radii in comparison with small radii.

It not only corrects for linear distortion, but also second degree and higher nonlinear components.

Magnetic tape has a nonlinear response at low signal strengths, as measured by its coercivity.

Generally a nonlinear optical material ( organic polymers have the fastest response rates, and thus are best for this application ) with an incident static or low frequency optical field will see a modulation of its refractive index.

The result of this behaviour is a highly nonlinear current-voltage characteristic, in which the MOV has a high resistance at low voltages and a low resistance at high voltages.

The amplitude levels were on a nonlinear scale, with the steps between levels wide at low amplitudes and narrower at high amplitudes.

However, this nonlinear formula, obtained from data in only 39 young men, is not accurate, and over-corrects at high heart rates and under-corrects at low heart rates.

Paiva and Taft have shown a mechanism of light ball cluster formation in Hessdalenlights ( HL ) by the nonlinear interaction of ion-acoustic and dusty-acoustic waves with low frequency geoelectromagnetic waves in dusty plasmas.

Noise harvesting NiPS Laboratory in Italy has recently proposed to harvest wide spectrum low scale vibrations via a nonlinear dynamical mechanism that can improve harvester efficiency up to a factor 4 compared to traditional linear harvesters.

Each " oscillator " consists of a sample playback oscillator, dual multimode filter, nonlinear " drive " and low boost section, amp, and pan.

Conversely, nonlinear elements can be made to operate linearly if the signal in them is limited to a low level.

This way of driving an avalanche transistor was relatively less employed in first generation circuits because the base node has a relatively low impedance and an input capacitance which is highly nonlinear ( as a matter of fact, it is exponential ) under the large signal regime: this causes a fairly large, input voltage dependent, delay time, which was analyzed in detail in the paper.
