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.

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.

Its name comes from the information path in the system: process inputs ( e. g., voltage applied to an electric motor ) have an effect on the process outputs ( e. g., speed or torque of the motor ), which is measured with sensors and processed by the controller ; the result ( the control signal ) is " fed back " as input to the process, closing the loop.

In electric guitars, transducers known as pickups convert string vibration to an electric signal, which in turn is amplified and fed to speakers, which vibrate the air to produce the sounds we hear.

This signal is then amplified, rectified, filtered and fed into the op-amp's non-inverting input.

These tones are fed to the demodulator part of the modem, which processes them through a series of filters and detectors to recreate the original digital signal.

The signal is then fed into a circuit where it is mixed with a sine wave from a variable frequency oscillator known as the local oscillator ( LO ).

A box connected to a television ( or VCR ) SCART connector is fed with the baseband television signal from the set's tuner, and can have the television display the returned processed signal instead.

This signal can be fed into an SSB transmitter, which in part modulates the carrier wave.

In the immediate aftermath, the station fed its signal to several UHF stations that were still broadcasting ( notably WNYE-TV ), before establishing temporary facilities at the Armstrong Tower in Alpine, New Jersey.

* The signal is fed into a PLL and the error signal is used as the demodulated signal.

RF modulators may also be used to take the audio and video signal from a PAL or NTSC composite video, RGB, YUV or other composite AV source, and generate a broadcast RF signal that can be fed into a television's aerial / coaxial connector.

The basic arrangement of the radio receiver used an antenna feeding an amplifier and down-converter ( see Frequency mixer ) feeding an automatic gain control, which fed an analog to digital converter that was on a computer VMEbus with a lot of digital signal processors ( Texas Instruments C40s ).

These normally take the digital output of a compatible CD player or dedicated transport ( which is basically a CD player with no internal DAC ) and convert the signal into an analog line-level output that can then be fed into an amplifier to drive speakers.

This signal is then amplified through a few more transistors and the result fed into a Schmitt trigger.

Each cathode is fed the amplified signal from one of the decoded RGB signals.

The signal was fed to the centre dipole, which had a slightly longer reflector element on either side set slightly back.

A sensitive photomultiplier tube ( PMT ) measures the light from the crystal, and the output signal is fed to an electronic amplifier and other electronic equipment to count and possibly quantify the amplitude of the signals produced by the photomultiplier.

The difference between positive and negative feedback for AC signals is one of phase: if the signal is fed back out of phase, the feedback is negative and if it is in phase the feedback is positive.

The microwave signal from the dish is picked up by a feedhorn and is fed to a section of waveguide.

The average output signal level is fed back to adjust the gain to an appropriate level for a range of input signal levels.
