    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

    Air conditioning, often abbreviated as A/C (US) or air con (UK), [1] is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space to achieve a more comfortable interior temperature and in some cases also controlling the humidity of internal air.

  5. Carrier-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-to-noise_ratio

    In telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The term is used to distinguish the CNR of the radio frequency passband signal from the SNR of an analog base band message signal after demodulation .

    Video compression artifacts include cumulative results of compression of the comprising still images, for instance ringing or other edge busyness in successive still images appear in sequence as a shimmering blur of dots around edges, called mosquito noise, as they resemble mosquitoes swarming around the object.

  7. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    By comparison, most modern "warm air" furnaces typically use a fan to circulate air to the rooms of house and pull cooler air back to the furnace for reheating; this is called forced-air heat. Because the fan easily overcomes the resistance of the ductwork, the arrangement of ducts can be far more flexible than the octopus of old. In American ...

  8. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The torsional deflection of a simple cylinder cannot radiate efficiently acoustic noise, but with particular boundary conditions the stator can radiate acoustic noise under torque ripple excitation. [8] Structure-borne noise can also be generated by torque ripple when rotor shaft line vibrations propagate to the frame [9] and shaft line.
