On the other hand, the desired sound varies geographically ; European players, especially British ones, generally use a faster, more constant vibrato and a more veiled tone, while Americans tend to prefer a more straightforward, open sound with slower and less frequent vibrato.

It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone after waiting a moment to allow some high overtones to die out.

It can generate a constant 15 Hz sine wave tone at 140 dB for 24 hours a day, seven days a week with extremely low harmonic distortion.

The modern dial tone varies between countries, being a " buzz " of two interfering tones ( 350 Hz and 440 Hz, as defined in the Precise Tone Plan ) in the North American Numbering Plan ( most of North America ), and a constant single tone ( 425 Hz ) in most of Europe.

Its use relied, like much of the telephone hacking methodology of the time, on the use of a constant tone of 2600 Hz to indicate an unused telephone line.

The American Ballroom Tango's frame is flexible too, but experienced dancers frequently dance in closed position: higher in the elbows, tone in the arms and constant connection through the body.

Other discrimination tasks, such as detecting changes in brightness, or in tone height ( pure tone frequency ), or in the length of a line shown on a screen, may have different Weber fractions, but they all obey Weber's law in that observed values need to change by at least some small but constant proportion of the current value to ensure human observers will reliably be able to detect that change.

The trial proceeded with the tone being set with Mongibeaux and Mornet, the public prosecutor, unable to control constant hostile outbursts from the jury.

Whether the tone is of constant, rising or decreasing pitch, the ear perceives the tone as continuous if the 50ms ( or less ) discontinuity is masked by noise.

Now, he had observed in the songs of sailors, and workers, a prevailing tone of sadness ; and so, as he grew more masterful in this sort of expression, he sought more and more after what is deep, serious and constant in the thoughts of common men.

The Queen reads the entire speech in a neutral tone, implying neither approval nor disapproval of the proposals of Her Majesty's Government: the Queen makes constant reference to " My Government " when reading the text.

Like in the original exercise, she does not explicitly tell participants to mock others but uses choice of language and tone, removal of basic rights ( such as being allowed to speak without permission ) and a constant changing of the rules to discomfort the blue-eyed participants-a deliberate reversal of what happens in society at large.

Throughout the entire piece is a B-flat octave ostinato, imitative of the tolling bell, that must remain distinctive and constant in tone as the notes cross over and dynamics change.

Fortunately, several phonautograms had a separate parallel track, inscribed simultaneously with the voice track, in which a constant reference tone had been recorded.

The player circular breathes to allow the pitch to be sustained into a constant tone.

As their first concept album, it has a constant tone ( of darkness, in this case ) and is more complex than their previous albums, with two entirely instrumental tracks that go beyond simple guitar riffs and solos, namely " Prelude to Madness " and " Last Dawn ".

A transmitter at the tank site continually sends a signal with a constant tone.

The caregiver can be seen, heard, smelled, touched, tasted, provide feeding and the motion necessary for continuing neural development, gastrointestinal and respiratory health and to establish balance ( inner ear development ) and muscle tone is constant.

In one, called discrete downdrift, when downstep occurs all tones shift downward, so that their relative difference in pitch remains constant ; in the other, called tone terracing, the pitch of the low tone remains at the lower end of the speaker's vocal range, while the other tones shift downward, so that their difference in pitch narrows.

With GWEN handling constant voice, teletype and other data traffic, interference was noticed by local power companies on a diagnostic two kilohertz side carrier tone – if the carrier disappeared, the power grid would interpret that as a system fault.

The voltage output from these anemometers is thus the result of some sort of circuit within the device trying to maintain the specific variable ( current, voltage or temperature ) constant.

More recent papers have confirmed this observation, demonstrating that seawater Ca < sup > 2 +</ sup > concentration is not constant, and that the ocean probably never is in “ steady state ” with respect to its calcium input and output.

* A " stable " filter produces an output that converges to a constant value with time, or remains bounded within a finite interval.

In this case we also get video output with a constant bit rate ( CBR ).

In most cases an amplifier should be linear ; that is, the gain should be constant for any combination of input and output signal.

If the gain is not constant, e. g., by clipping the output signal at the limits of its capabilities, the output signal will be distorted.

A production function has constant returns to scale if increasing all inputs by some proportion results in output increasing by that same proportion.

If the firm is a perfect competitor in all input markets, and thus the per-unit prices of all its inputs are unaffected by how much of the inputs the firm purchases, then it can be shown that at a particular level of output, the firm has economies of scale if and only if it has increasing returns to scale, has diseconomies of scale if and only if it has decreasing returns to scale, and has neither economies nor diseconomies of scale if it has constant returns to scale.

Some applications of lasers depend on a beam whose output power is constant over time.

The duration of state 1 ( low output ) will be related to the time constant R < sub > 2 </ sub > C < sub > 1 </ sub > as it depends on the charging of C1, and the duration of state 2 ( high output ) will be related to the time constant R < sub > 3 </ sub > C < sub > 2 </ sub > as it depends on the charging of C2.

A natural monopoly has a high fixed cost for a product that does not depend on output, but its marginal cost of producing one more good is roughly constant, and small.

The model assumes that there are two “ equally positioned firms ”; the firms compete on the basis of quantity rather than price and each firm makes an “ output decision assuming that the other firm ’ s behavior is fixed .” The market demand curve is assumed to be linear and marginal costs are constant.

Now the output part ( Q10 ) of Q10-Q11 current mirror keeps up the common current through Q9 / Q8 constant in spite of varying voltage.

The top-right current mirror Q12 / Q13 supplies this stage by a constant current load, via the collector of Q13, that is largely independent of the output voltage.

The increase in productivity growth was even higher: output per hour in the business sector, which had been roughly constant in the Carter years, increased at a 1. 4 % rate in the Reagan years.

The variation caused by the sunspot cycle to solar output is relatively small, on the order of 0. 1 % of the solar constant ( a peak-to-trough range of 1. 3 W · m < sup >− 2 </ sup > compared to 1366 W · m < sup >− 2 </ sup > for the average solar constant ).

The boost converter attempts to maintain a constant DC bus voltage on its output while drawing a current that is always in phase with and at the same frequency as the line voltage.

The resulting reflected pulse that is measured at the output / input to the TDR is displayed or plotted as a function of time and, because the speed of signal propagation is almost constant for a given transmission medium, can be read as a function of cable length.

Most first-in first-out ( FIFO ) storage devices are variable-length buffers in that the input rate may be variable while the output rate is constant or the output rate may be variable while the input rate is constant.

After World War II, with the onset of the Cold War, the constant technological development of new weapons was institutionalised as participants engaged in a constant arms race in capability development.

Each side continued to aim thousands of nuclear warheads atop intercontinental ballistic missiles ( ICBMs ) at each other's cities, maintain submarines with long-range nuclear weapon capability ( Submarine-launched ballistic missiles or SLBMs ) in the world's oceans, keep hundreds of nuclear-armed aircraft on constant alert, and guard contentious borders in Korea and Europe with large ground forces.

They also had the capability of carrying out three separate reporting functions: to report current information ( transmitting noises or earth tremors ); to keep silent, but to count impulses and respond when queried ; or to remain in constant operation like the Phase I models.

The Navy attempts to maintain a constant modernization program in order to upgrade its response capability.

Precision is limited to the number of significant digits of measuring capability of the coarsest instrument or constant in a sequence of measurements and computations.

These differences meant D800 – 802 were effectively a separate sub-class and could not work in multiple with the others ( although the " white diamond " code multiple working capability of the Warships was rarely used until the late 1960s, and was removed from many locomotives as a constant source of electrical problems ).

Constant voltage operation above base frequency, and therefore with reduced V / Hz ratio, provides reduced torque and constant power capability.
