Kearton got off and tore up some dry grass that grew in cracks between the rocks and piled it in a heap and wanted to make the smoke signal that would bring Loveless and Means and the rest of the party.

He would have to climb back down to the street and signal a cop.

Due to the averaging it is far more stable than any clock would be alone ( see signal averaging for a discussion ).

It would signal the beginning of the end of the British monarchy.

As long as the machines were synchronized, the mix would sound more-or-less normal, but if the operator placed his finger on the flange of one of the players ( hence " flanger "), that machine would slow down and its signal would fall out-of-phase with its partner, producing a phasing effect.

By tuning the radio to the proper frequency, it would receive the signal transmitted by the cell phone to be cloned, containing the phone's ESN / MIN Pair.

This signal would be fed into the sound card audio input of the PC, and Banpaia would decode the ESN / MIN pair from this signal and display it on the screen.

Signal processing would be applied to determine the direction of maximum illumination and so develop a signal to steer the antenna toward the target.

If two equivalent amplifiers are being compared, the amplifier with higher gain settings would be more sensitive as it would take less input signal to produce a given amount of power.

For instance, the baseband model of the signal would require a lowpass filter with cutoff frequency of at least to stay intact, and the physical passband channel would require a passband filter of at least to stay intact.

Nor did the tears and weeping of the people, as they implored his aid, deter him from giving the signal of departure and receiving into his army all who would go with him.

In the evenings, Pasternak would phone and Volkova would signal by banging on the water pipe which connected their apartments.

As chemistry and other technologies advanced, it became expedient to use coloration as a signal for telling apart things that would otherwise be confusingly similar, such as wiring in electrical and electronic devices, and pharmaceutical pills.

Kennedy concluded that attacking Cuba by air would signal the Soviets to presume " a clear line " to conquer Berlin.

If the color burst signal were visible on a television screen, it would appear as a vertical strip of a very dark olive color.

When the bridge was in use, boaters would signal the operator, who would start a diesel engine and rotate the bridge to the open position on a large gear.

but let the twenty-five thousand and first butchery be the signal for the arrest of the 50 state highway commissioners.

The extent of such interference -- which may be so slight as to be undetectable at any point where either of the stations renders a usable signal, or may be so great as to virtually destroy the service areas of both stations -- depends on many factors, among the principal ones being the distance between the stations, their respective radiated power, and, of particular significance here, the time of day.

The design of a mechanical interlocking frame is much like a mechanical puzzle, but once understood, the principles can be applied to any track and signal arrangement.

Interlocking signals are normally at stop or `` red '' position, and a lever must be pulled to `` clear '' the signal.

A signal cannot be cleared until all the related turnouts are properly thrown and locked.

If the points aren't thrown all the way, the Turnout cannot be locked, and in turn, the signal cannot be cleared.

This instrument provides an electrical signal proportional to the angular deviations of the platform and can be used to automatically hold the platform on true heading.

As soon as that one man is appointed by himself or the others or by a signal from Spencer, we are going to be rushed.

Since altruism takes away resources from the altruist it can be a " honest signal " of resource availability and the abilities needed to gather resources.

It may also be a signal of interactive and cooperative intentions since those not interacting further in the future gain nothing from the costly signaling.

When looking for a long-term partner more conventional altruism may be preferred which may indicate that he is also willing to share resources with her and her children while when looking for a short-term partner heroic risk-taking, which may be costly signal showing good genes, may be more preferable.

In an electrical signal, the voltage, current, or frequency of the signal may be varied to represent the information.

Any information may be conveyed by an analog signal ; often such a signal is a measured response to changes in physical phenomena, such as sound, light, temperature, position, or pressure.

Converting an analog signal to digital form introduces a constant low-level noise called quantization noise into the signal which determines the noise floor, but once in digital form the signal can in general be processed or transmitted without introducing additional noise or distortion.

An analog signal may be processed directly by analog components, though some processes aren't available except in digital form.

This introductory signal may be used in combination with other signals, preceded by an italicized comma.

Note: the comma after e. g., is not italicized when attached to another signal ( whether supportive or not ), but is italicized when e. g. appears alone.

* The signal and infra are italicized, but the rest of the text is not.

In a device that does not display text, a simple program to produce a signal, such as turning on an LED, is often substituted for " Hello world " as the introductory program.

SGML derived the use from IBM Generalized Markup Language, which was one of many IBM-mainframe languages to use the ampersand to signal a text substitution, eventually going back to System / 360 macro assembly language.

: When writers use no signal, this tells readers that the cited authority directly states the proposition, is the source of the cited quotation, or identifies an authority referred to in the text.

* You may combine supra with a signal and other text.

* Infra may also follow text after a signal, as appropriate.

Special text editors offer features for automatic indentation, syntax-dependent coloration, and macro-based expansion of entity / architecture / signal declaration.

The byte order mark ( BOM ) is a Unicode character used to signal the endianness ( byte order ) of a text file or stream.

Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8, so its only use in UTF-8 is to signal at the start that the text stream is encoded in UTF-8.

Beyond that, the current EAS signal is an audio message only — which pre-empts all programming — so that viewers who were watching color images of the trade center on Sept. 11 would have been able to see only a screen with a generic text message along with a presidential voice-over, if an emergency message had been activated.

As with other teletext systems, text and simple graphics are transmitted in-band with the picture signal, and decoded by controller circuitry.

For example, in speech-to-text ( speech recognition ), the acoustic signal is treated as the observed sequence of events, and a string of text is considered to be the " hidden cause " of the acoustic signal.

The Viterbi algorithm finds the most likely string of text given the acoustic signal.

Many computer programs use the carriage return character, alone or with a line feed, to signal the end of a line of text, but other characters are also used for this function ( see newline ); others use it only for a paragraph break ( a hard return ).

* Functional requirements describe the functionality that the system is to execute ; for example, formatting some text or modulating a signal.

Already used by scientists for a range of tasks, such as signal, text, image processing, and simulation.

There is also now the ability to answer text messages at some PSAPs, which is useful in areas where weak signal strength due to distance from the nearest cell site causes fringe reception, resulting in blocked or dropped calls.

While HD Radio does allow for an all-digital mode, this system currently is used by some AM and FM radio stations to simulcast both digital and analog audio within the same channel ( a hybridized digital-analog signal ) as well as to add new FM channels and text information.

Above the text ADtranz, the company logo included a green dot, symbolizing a signal set on green, as well as the environmental friendliness of railways.

A desktop publishing-like interface can be used to generate static and moving text or graphics, which the device then encodes into some high-quality video signal, like digital Serial Digital Interface ( SDI ) or analog component video, high definition or even RGB video.
