Another important meter in English is the ballad meter, also called the "common meter", which is a four line stanza, with two lines of iambic tetrameter followed by two lines of iambic trimeter; the rhymes usually fall on the lines of trimeter, although in many instances the tetrameter also rhymes. This meter was used most often in the Sapphic stanza, named after the Greek poet Sappho, who wrote many of her poems in the form. In literature, meter is a term used in the scansion of poetry, usually indicated by the kind of feet and the number of them. www.onlineencyclopedia.org /m/me/meter__poetry_.html

Parking meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Berkeley, California, the "chopped off" remains of meter poles were a common sight during the 1990s, and parking was largely free (and chaotic) throughout the city until the government installed digital parking meters with very thick poles in 2000. Alternatives to parking meters are ticket machines (for dashboard display of proof of payment) and machines to accept and electronically record payment by stall number, (known in New York City as the Muni Meter). Parking meters are usually seen along the curb of a street, but are sometimes used within parking garages as well. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Parking_meter

Ramp meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ramp metering was first implemented in 1963 on the Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290) in Chicago, Illinois. A ramp meter or metering light is a device, usually a basic traffic light or a two-phase (red and green, no yellow) light, that regulates the flow of traffic entering freeways according to current traffic conditions. However, when ramp metering is about to be enabled, the overhead lamps may show flashing or solid yellow to warn drivers to prepare to stop. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ramp_meter   (609 words)

Gas meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gas meters are usually used at every residence and commercial building that consumes fuel gas supplied by a gas utility. A gas meter is used to measure the flow of fuel gases such as natural gas and propane. Varying temperature can not be handled as easily, but some meters are designed with built-in temperature compensation to keep them reasonably accurate over their designed temperature range. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gas_meter   (464 words)

Electricity meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The most common unit of measurement on the electricity meter is the kilowatt-hour which is equal to the amount of energy used by a load of one kilowatt over a period of one hour, or 3,600,000 joules. Meter reading is now sometimes subcontracted and in some areas the same person may read gas, water and electricity meters at the same time. Depending on the arrangements in place, the meter may be the property of the electricity distributor, the retailer or for some large users of electricity the meter may belong to the customer. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Electricity_meter   (3473 words)

Clamp meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Less-expensive clamp meters use an average-detecting rectifier circuit that is then calibrated to read in RMS units; it is assumed in their design that the current is a sine wave of the local mains frequency, that is, either 50 or 60 Hz. A clamp meter (clamp-on ammeter) is a type of ammeter which measures electrical current without the need to disconnect the wiring through which the current is flowing. These high-end meters may also replace the transformer secondary winding with a Hall effect sensor that allows accurate readings over a much-wider frequency range, often extending from DC to thousands of hertz and occasionally, for small clamp meters with ferrite cores, extending into the megahertz range. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Clamp_meter   (565 words)

Square metre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A square metre (US spelling: square meter) is by definition the area enclosed by a square with sides each 1 metre long. Square megametres are not widely used; however, there are a number of "megametre fans" who think that this unit is very convenient for measuring oceans and continents. Note: "km²" means square kilometre and not kilo–square metre. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Square_metre   (123 words)

Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robinson Jeffers, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams were three notable poets who rejected the idea that meter was a critical element of poetry, claiming it was an unnatural imposition into poetry. The increased emphasis on the aesthetics of language and the deliberate use of features such as repetition, meter and rhyme, are what are commonly used to distinguish poetry from prose, but debates over such distinctions still persist, while the issue is confounded by such forms as prose poetry and poetic prose. Poetry (from Ancient Greek: ποιέω/ποιῶ (poiéo/poió) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Poetry   (1712 words)

Par meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A peak-to-average ratio meter (Par meter) is a device used to measure the ratio of the peak power level to the time-averaged power level in a circuit. Par meters are very sensitive to envelope delay distortion. Such meters are used as a quick means to identify degraded telephone channels. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Par_meter   (117 words)

Newton metre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A newton metre is dimensionally equivalent to a joule, the SI unit of energy and work. It is a compound unit of torque corresponding to the torque from a force of 1 newton applied over a distance arm of 1 metre. Newton metre is the unit of moment in the SI system. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Newton_Meter   (117 words)

Rhythm article - Rhythm variation duration sounds meter music dance poetry pitch speech - What-Means.com The length of the meter, or metric unit (usually corresponding with measure length), is divided almost exclusively into either two or three beats, being called duple meter and triple meter, respectively. By comparison, a lot of Western classical music is fairly rhythmically simple; it stays in a simple meter such as 4/4 or 3/4 and makes little use of syncopation. Clave is a common underlying rhythm in African, Cuban music, and Brazilian music. www.what-means.com /encyclopedia/Rhythm   (421 words)

Time signature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia N.B. in modern compound meters the beat is a dotted note value, such as a dotted quarter, because the ratios of the modern note value hierarchy are always 2:1. For all meters, the first beat (the "downbeat") is stressed; in time signatures with four groups in the bar (such as 4/4 and 12/8), the third beat is also stressed, though to a lesser degree. Assuming the breve to be a beat, this corresponds to the modern concepts of triple meter and duple meter, respectively. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Time_signature   (2007 words)

Metre (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Meter is an entrainment, a representation of changing aspects of music as patterns of temporal invariance, allowing listeners to synchronize their perception, cognition, and behaviour with musical rhythms. Metre or meter is the measurement of a musical line into measures of stressed and unstressed beats, indicated in Western notation by a symbol called a time signature. Rhythm is distinguished from meter in that rhythms are patterns of durtion while "meter involves our initial perception as well as subsequent anticipation of a series of beats that we abstract from the rhythm surface of the music as it unfolds in time." (London 2004, p.4-5) www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Compound_duple_meter   (1088 words)

Meter In compound meter, the top number is the number of subdivided by 3 beats and the bottom number is the note value receiving the subdivided by 3 beat. For example, a meter with 3 beats per measure with the quarter note receiving the beat is called "3/4" time, and is notated with a "3" in the top number and a "4" in the lower number. Compound meter is used to notate music that has three instead of two subdivisions per beat. www.smu.edu /totw/meter.htm   (934 words)

E-meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the meter to be read, the tiny flow of electrical energy through the preclear (person) has to remain steady. The needle of the meter shows the amount of current and is particularly sensitive to small changes in current. Substantial fees were charged for the meter and for auditing sessions using the meter. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/E-meter   (1576 words)
