I believe a further gain is in prospect for 1961.

For the near term, however, it must be realized that the industrial and commercial market is somewhat more sensitive to general business conditions than is the military market, and for this reason I would expect that any gain in 1961 may be somewhat smaller than those of recent years ; ;

Cascading single stages by coupling lens systems is rather inefficient as the lens systems limit the obtainable gain quite severely.

It is felt that fiber-coupled double- ( and multi- ) stage image intensifiers will gain considerable importance in the future.

The luminous gain of a single stage with Af ( flux gain ) is, to a first approximation, given by the product of the photocathode sensitivity S ( amp / lumen ), the anode potential V ( volts ), and the phosphor conversion efficiency P ( lumen/watt ).

The luminous flux gain of a single stage is given by: Af.

Including the brightness gain Af due to the Af area demagnification, the overall gain of a fiber coupled double stage image intensifier is: Af.

With these factors included, an upper limit is placed on the allowable loop gain by stability considerations.

In this type of system, a high loop gain is desirable because it provides a fast response time.

The time required for the system to reach a level position is approximately inversely proportional to the servo loop gain.

In addition, the cutoff frequency for input accelerations is approximately proportional to the servo loop gain ; ;

One solution to the problem is to operate with a low loop gain and to include low-pass filters.

The amplifier is designed so that its gain is large for accelerometer signals above a certain threshold level.

Below this level, the amplifier gain Af is proportional and is of small value, in order to provide adequate noise filtering.

Formally organized vocational programs supported by federal funds allow high school students to gain experience in a field of work which is likely to lead to a full-time job on graduation.

and though this process by no means represents an unambiguous gain and is, in fact, marked by the estrangement from the depths that seems to be the cost of human maturation, it is still a positive step forward ; ;

Taking into account the broad spectrum of the hypertensive population, one might expect that an effective treatment with ACE inhibitors, in particular with perindopril, would result in an important gain of lives saved.

In most amplifiers a reduction in gain takes place before hard clipping occurs ; the result is a compression effect, which ( if the amplifier is an audio amplifier ) sounds much less unpleasant to the ear.

Changes in generator field current result in larger changes in the output current of the generator, providing gain.

As a result, it is not uncommon for current industry players to gain control of the " watchdog " and use it against competitors.

While people may gain celebrity status as a result of a successful career in a particular field ( primarily in the areas pertaining towards sports and entertainment ), in other cases, people become celebrities due to media attention for their extravagant lifestyle or wealth ( as in the case of a socialite ); for their connection to a famous person ( as in the case of a relative of a famous person ); or even for their misdeeds ( as in the case of a well-known criminal ).

In telecommunication, desensitation is the reduction of desired signal gain as a result of receiver reaction to an undesired signal.

This is because, conceptually, the signal is first passed through an all-pole filter ( which normally boosts gain at the resonant frequencies ) before the result of that is saturated, then passed through an all-zero filter ( which often attenuates much of what the all-pole half amplifies ).

The momentum the photons carry is a conserved quantity — that is, it cannot be destroyed — so it must be transferred to the surface ; the result is that absorbing the light beam causes the surface to gain momentum.
