* flanger-to create an unusual sound, a delayed signal is added to the original signal with a continuously variable delay ( usually smaller than 10 ms ).

* chorus-a delayed signal is added to the original signal with a constant delay.

If the delay is too short, it will destructively interfere with the un-delayed signal and create a flanging effect.

* reverse echo-a swelling effect created by reversing an audio signal and recording echo and / or delay whilst the signal runs in reverse.

In setting the clock period to a value well above the worst-case propagation delay, it is possible to design the entire CPU and the way it moves data around the " edges " of the rising and falling clock signal.

An N < sup > th </ sup > order FIR filter can be implemented in a discrete time system using a computer program or specialized hardware in which the input signal is subject to N delay stages.

Audio latency is the delay between when an audio signal enters and when it emerges from a system.

The secondary stations receive this pulse signal from the primary, then wait a preset number of milliseconds, known as the secondary coding delay, to transmit a response signal.

In a given chain, each secondary's coding delay is different, allowing for separate identification of each secondary's signal.

The modulation index riding on the receive signal is proportional to the time delay between the radar and the reflector.

But if the delay of the output ( relative to the input ) is bounded during a process that operates over an unlimited time, then that signal processing algorithm is real-time, even if the throughput delay may be very long.

Analog discrete-time signal processing is a technology based on electronic devices such as sample and hold circuits, analog time-division multiplexers, analog delay lines and analog feedback shift registers.

Such systems may or may not issue a system blocking signal to apprise the calling party of the access delay.

* Propagation delay, a measurement of the time for a signal to reach its destination

In telecommunications, delay encoding is the encoding of binary data to form a two-level signal where ( a ) a " 0 " causes no change of signal level unless it is followed by another " 0 " in which case a transition to the other level takes place at the end of the first bit period ; and ( b ) a " 1 " causes a transition from one level to the other in the middle of the bit period.

* Analog delay line, used to delay a signal

If F is a linear function, for instance a filter whose gain and / or delay varies with frequency, then the signal will experience linear distortion.

In signal processing, group delay is a measure of the time delay of the amplitude envelopes of the various sinusoidal components of a signal through a device under test, and is a function of frequency for each component.

`` The pattern '', says Dr. Morton Schillinger, psychologist at New York's Lincoln Institute for Psychotherapy, `` is for the husband to hover about anxiously and eagerly, virtually trembling in his hope that she will flash him the signal that tonight is the night ''.

For reception, a local oscillator will typically restore the suppressed carrier so the signal can be demodulated with a product detector.

The fact that in equivalent baseband models of communication systems, the signal spectrum consists of both negative and positive frequencies, can lead to confusion about bandwidth, since they are sometimes referred to only by the positive half, and one will occasionally see expressions such as, where is the total bandwidth ( i. e. the maximum passband bandwidth of the carrier-modulated RF signal and the minimum passband bandwidth of the physical passband channel ), and is the positive bandwidth ( the baseband bandwidth of the equivalent channel model ).

They are known for their alarm signal: when startled or frightened, a swimming beaver will rapidly dive while forcefully slapping the water with its broad tail, audible over great distances above and below water.

If a state is not controllable, then no signal will ever be able to control the state.

The best performance will occur when there is good separation between the signal of a desired user and the signals of other users.

If the signal matches the desired user's code then the correlation function will be high and the system can extract that signal.

Detecting the B-modes will be extremely difficult, particularly given that the degree of foreground contamination is unknown, and the weak gravitational lensing signal mixes the relatively strong E-mode signal with the B-mode signal.

If this output is then used as the clock signal for a similarly arranged D flip-flop ( remembering to invert the output to the input ), you will get another 1 bit counter that counts half as fast.

Most modern monitors will switch to a power-saving mode if no video-input signal is received.

However, such documents will still be fully parsable in the non-standalone mode of validating parsers, which will signal an error if these external entities cannot be located with their specified public identifier ( FPI ) and / or system identifier ( a URI ), or are inaccessible.

If the signal strength of a transmitter is insufficient the signal's information will be corrupted by noise.

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.

The tuned circuit resonates at one frequency, the fixed carrier frequency, and so the unwanted frequencies are suppressed, and the wanted full signal ( sine wave ) will be extracted by the tuned load.

When such a system is subject to an impulse ( or any signal of finite duration ) it will respond with an output waveform which lasts past the duration of the input, eventually decaying exponentially in one or another manner, but never completely settling to zero ( mathematically speaking ).

The DoD is required by law to " maintain a Standard Positioning Service ( as defined in the federal radio navigation plan and the standard positioning service signal specification ) that will be available on a continuous, worldwide basis ," and " develop measures to prevent hostile use of GPS and its augmentations without unduly disrupting or degrading civilian uses.

Defects in the original analog signal will be faithfully recorded, but may be identified and removed by a subsequent step.

At the same time, the system will provide a signal to the user, informing them that their situation has been detected and that help is on the way.

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.

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

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.
