... noise has its most deleterious effect on reception quality when it occurs in the input circuitry of the receiver, since this is usually where the basic signal-to-noise ratio is established. The generation of noise in this area is principally caused by thermal agitation in resistive input components. When the incoming signal is too weak to override this noise, a visual effect is displayed on the picture tube that is commonly referred to as snow. Although there are other types of noise that produce different visual effects, snow is the most common visual effect. 3, record 2, English, - snow

"Whenever you do a renovation, there are always inherent difficulties, "says Haas. "One of the critical issues we had to deal with was the mechanical ductwork(for heating, air-conditioning and plumbing). It's absolutely essential that noise from these systems not enter the main hall. Well, of course the old ductwork in that building was pretty noisy. But we were able to replace all the ducts that run through the theater itself, which amounted to about 25 percent of the ductwork in the building. " 5, record 5, English, - mechanical%20duct

The inherent anti-aliasing characteristics of the floating-diffusion input are particularly beneficial in applications where it is desired to integrate all of the pre-CCD interface electronics onto the CCD monolith itself in a high density format. Noise band-limiting is achieved without the undesirable threshold voltage sensitivity characteristic of the true integrator or "direct injection" mode of charge injection. 1, record 6, English, - anti%2Daliasing
