UNWANTED TRANSMISSION [7 records]

Record 1 2012-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
CONT

Duct lining or wrapping - A duct lining or wrapping is usually a sheet of porous material placed on the inner or outer wall(s) of a duct to introduce sound attenuation and heat insulation. It is often used in air conditioning systems. Linings are more effective in attenuating sound that travels inside along the length of a duct, while wrappings are more effective in preventing sound from being radiated from the duct sidewalls into surrounding spaces

CONT

Lagging, pipe wrapping. Pipes and large ducts often transmit and radiate unwanted noise from pumps, valves, fans, and other equipment into quiet areas through which they pass. The sound transmission loss of the wall can be increased by the addition of lagging or a jacket including sound absorptive material covered by a heavy, solid, impervious skin of plaster, cement, metal, or mass-loaded vinyl.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tuyauterie et raccords
OBS

Contre la gelée, [les moyens de protection] consistent quelquefois à entretenir un faible écoulement [...] mais les moyens les plus courants et les plus sûrs sont encore : [...] d'enrober les tuyaux avec une matière isolante contre les déperditions de chaleur par conductibilité, convection ou rayonnement [...]

Record 2 2003-02-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radioelectricity
  • Audio Technology
  • Television Arts
DEF

The unwanted change in waveform which occurs between two points in a transmission system. If the particular requirement is not met, distortion is present.

OBS

The distortion may result from a non-linear relation between input and output, a non-uniform transmission at different frequencies or phase shift not proportional to frequency.

OBS

distortion: term standardized by the USA Standards Institute and the International Electrotechnical Commission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radioélectricité
  • Électroacoustique
  • Télévision (Arts du spectacle)
DEF

Déformation d'une onde au cours de sa transmission, défavorable pour son utilisation. Si la tension d'entrée est sinusoïdale, la tension de sortie ne l'est pas.

OBS

Les bruits et les changements désirés ne doivent pas être considérés comme de la distorsion.

OBS

distorsion : terme normalisé par la Commission électrotechnique the Internationale.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radioelectricidad
  • Electroacústica
  • Televisión (Artes escénicas)
DEF

Deformación de una señal, que origina una diferencia entre los parámetros de la señal transmitida y la recibida, tales como su amplitud, frecuencia, fase, etc.

CONT

Puede desearse que a la salida de un sistema de transmisión las ondas tengan la misma forma de onda que en el origen, o que tengan una forma determinada, diferente a la de las ondas emitidas; si las condiciones deseadas no se cumplen, hay distorsión.

Record 3 2002-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
DEF

In digital transmission, an unwanted and uncontrolled loss or gain of a set of consecutive digit positions owing, for example, to a momentary loss of synchronism.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications
DEF

Duplication ou suppression d'un bloc de bits dans un flux binaire synchrone ou plésiochrone en raison d'un écart entre les cadences de lecture et d'écriture en mémoire tampon.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Telecomunicaciones
DEF

Pérdida o repetición de bits o tramas, debido a que la velocidad de entrada de datos a una memoria, es mayor o menor que la velocidad con que se leen.

  • Telecommunications Transmission
DEF

An emission consisting of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)
DEF

Émission qui englobe les rayonnements non essentiels et les émissions hors bande.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transmisión (Telecomunicaciones)
DEF

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
DEF

In the Decca Navigator system and when used with reference to an interfering pulsed transmission, this ratio must be interpreted as "wanted CW to unwanted PEAK signal ratio".

Record 6 1999-09-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Photography
DEF

A hard color filter or lens, that allows the transmission of specific wavelengths(the desired color) and reflects all others, unlike traditional filters that absorb the unwanted wavelengths(all other colors).

CONT

Dichroic filters produce the purest in color saturation while absorbing very little heat. These types of filters are ideal for color blending or mixing with other filters or lenses. Dichroic filters are an integral part of automated fixtures when only a limited number of filters can be accommodated inside their compact housings.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Photographie
DEF

Filtre doté de fines couches métalliques permettant la séparation du spectre en deux bandes distinctes.

Record 7 1980-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
DEF

radiation at a frequency, or frequencies, outside the necessary band, the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information; spurious radiation includes harmonic radiation, parasitic radiation and unwanted intermodulation products which are remote from the necessary band;...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
DEF

Rayonnement sur une ou plusieurs fréquences situées hors de la bande nécessaire et dont le niveau peut être réduit sans affecter la transmission de l'information correspondante; les rayonnements harmoniques, les rayonnements parasites et les produits d'intermodulation indésirables qui sont éloignés de la bande nécessaire sont compris dans les rayonnements non essentiels.
