  2. Flicker noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_noise

    Flicker noise is a type of electronic noise with a 1/f power spectral density. It is therefore often referred to as 1/ f noise or pink noise , though these terms have wider definitions. It occurs in almost all electronic devices and can show up with a variety of other effects, such as impurities in a conductive channel, generation and ...

    To give complete coverage of lubricant, the hinge pin is removed to be covered in the lubricant, and then reinserted. [2] Oiling a squeaky hinge is considered a masculine behaviour.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker_(screen)

    The flicker of a CRT monitor can cause various symptoms in those sensitive to it such as eye strain, headaches [9] in migraine sufferers, and seizures in epileptics. [10]As the flicker is most clearly seen at the edge of our vision there is no obvious risk in using a CRT, but prolonged use can cause a sort of retinal shock where the flickering is seen even when looking away from the monitor.

  5. Doorway effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect

    Experiment 2 aimed to determine if the location-updating effect could be observed in a real environment with maximal immersion compared to mediated experiences on a computer screen. Real experiences are considered nonmediated, while virtual environments might lack cues that real settings offer for accurate performance.

  6. Flicker-free - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flicker-free

    Flicker-free is a term given to video displays, primarily cathode-ray tubes, operating at a high refresh rate to reduce or eliminate the perception of screen flicker.For televisions, this involves operating at a 100 Hz or 120 Hz hertz field rate to eliminate flicker, compared to standard televisions that operate at 50 Hz (PAL, SÉCAM systems) or 60 Hz (), most simply done by displaying each ...

  7. Image noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_noise

    In the case of images bright enough to be in the shot noise limited regime, when the image is scaled to the same size on screen, or printed at the same size, the pixel count makes little difference to perceptible noise levels – the noise depends primarily on the total light over the whole sensor area, not how this area is divided into pixels.

  8. Sound effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_effect

    [2] Foley sound effects are sounds that synchronize on screen, and require the expertise of a Foley artist to record properly. Footsteps, the movement of hand props (e.g., a tea cup and saucer), and the rustling of cloth are common Foley units. [2] Design sound effects are sounds that do not normally occur in nature, or are impossible to record ...
