A single cable coming out of the 5200 plugged into the switch box and was used for both electricity and the television signal.

When a pedal is off or inactive, the electric audio signal coming in to the pedal is diverted onto a " bypass ", resulting in a " dry " signal which continues on to other effects down the chain.

The first test of the weather control system goes awry when the remote control for a radioactive balloon is jammed by an unexplained signal coming from the center of the island.

This reaction is initiated by GTPase-activating proteins ( GAPs ), coming from another signal transduction pathway.

The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits, repeating the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitting it to another.

* is the last signal regeneration point, on the loop side, coming from the central office, before the regenerated signal reaches a multiplexer or data terminal equipment ( DTE ).

Forcing the 21st address line ( the actual logic signal wire coming out of the chip ) to a logic low, representing a zero, results in a modulo-2 ^ 20 effect to match the earlier processors ' address arithmetic, but the 80286 has no internal capability to perform this function.

The space flight Head Quarters established on Olga picks up an SOS signal coming from the Earth where the first colonists of Darius originated before colonizing Darius ; the signal included the description of alien ships similar to that of the Belser Army.

However, the coming of quieter, more environmentally friendly aircraft and cheaper security procedures and utilities may signal a re-consideration of the plan.

" In it, a U. S. submarine tracking a signal coming from Seattle surfaces in Grays Harbor and finds everyone in the area dead from radiation poisoning.

In comparison to early shadow mask designs, the Trinitron grille cuts off much less of the signal coming from the electron guns.

Hobson hurries to an apparent smoke signal coming from the North Shore, only to find suburban homes destroyed by the impact of a jetliner.

Dynamic range was also limited by the fact that if the signal level coming from the master tape was too high, the highly sensitive cutting head might jump off the surface of the disc during the cutting process.

[...] would be a tragic signal, six months before the Copenhagen Conference, and something incomprehensible coming from France, which has been a leading country for years in the fight against climate change!

When piezoelectric transducers are used on upright bass or other acoustic instruments, the signal coming directly from the transducer is often too weak and it does not have the correct impedance for direct connection to an instrument amplifier.

The completion of the Golden Ears Bridge and the construction of the new high level Pitt River bridge span also signal increased growth in coming years.

For the next 40 years and more Princes Risborough was a busy junction with two large signal boxes and trains coming in from London Marylebone, London Paddington via Beaconsfield, London Paddington via Maidenhead ( a few trains still used this route until 1970 ), Bicester and the North, Aylesbury, Oxford and Watlington.

Phillips began sending out the distress signal, code CQD, while Bride took messages to Captain Smith about which ships were coming to Titanics assistance.

DSP technology, short for digital signal processing, is the use of digital means to process signals and is coming into wide use in modern shortwave receivers.

I turned on the electric bug, and the signal came in loud and clear.

Roosters crowing ( a loud and sometimes shrill call ) is a territorial signal to other roosters.

The signal for the onset is at about 11 when a loud shot rings out, and the chaos begins.

They were first used to signal peasant workers in from the fields as some gongs are loud enough to be heard from up to 50 miles away.

Non-linear PCM encodings ( A-law / mu-law, ADPCM, NICAM ) attempt to improve their effective dynamic ranges by a variety of methods-logarithmic step sizes between the output signal strengths represented by each data bit ( trading greater quantisation distortion of loud signals for better performance of quiet signals )

Problems include damping the cone cleanly without audible distortion so that it does not continue to move, causing ringing, when the instantaneous input signal falls to zero each cycle, and managing high excursions ( usually required to reproduce loud sounds ) with low distortion.

A potential disadvantage of AGC is that when recording something like music with quiet and loud passages such as classical music, the AGC will tend to make the quiet passages louder and the loud passages quieter, compressing the dynamic range ; the result can be a reduced musical quality if the signal is not re-expanded when playing, as in a companding system.

A good vogad circuit must have a very fast attack time, so that an initial loud voice signal does not cause a sudden burst of excessive modulation.

The audibility of print noise caused by contact printing depends on a number of factors: 1 ) the amount of print due to conditions of time and storage ; 2 ) the thickness of the base film that acts as magnetic barrier ( thin C-90 cassette tapes are more susceptible than studio mastering tapes that use a base film four times thicker ); 3 ) the stability of the magnetic particle used in the tape coating ; 4 ) the speed of the tape ( the wavelengths of the prints shift so that higher speeds move printed signal closer to the range where the ear is more sensitive ); the dynamics of the musical program ( very quiet passages adjacent to sudden loud signals can expose the print signal transferred from the loud signal ); and the wind of the tape ( A-winds for cassettes with the magnetic layer facing outward have stronger print signals after a loud signal --" post-print "-- than B-winds used in modern open-reel recorders that have stronger " pre-print " signals preceding a loud passage.
