 Brake fade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In automobiles, fade, or brake fade is the reduction in stopping power caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces (and in the case of drum brakes the change in dimension of components in response to heat).
Brake fade and rotor warping can be reduced through proper braking technique; When running down a long downgrade that would require braking simply select a lower gear (for automatic transmissions this may necessitate a brief application of the throttle after selecting the gear).
Disk brakes are much more resistant to brake fade and have come to be a standard feature in front brakes for most vehicle, although the brake rotors can become warped due to excessive heating.

 Drum brake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drum brake is a brake in which the friction is caused by a set of shoes or pads that press against the inner surface of a rotating drum.
Drum brakes with internal shoes have a particular disadvantage; when the drums are heated by hard braking the diameter of the drum increases due to the expansion of the material and the brakes must be further depressed to obtain effective braking action.
The shoes in drum brakes are subject to wear and the brakes needed to be adjusted regularly until the 1950s introduction of self adjusting drum brakes.

 Rain Fade
But the more you learn about the causes of rain fade, the better your chances are to lessen its impact on your satellite system.
Rain outage will only occur during the heaviest rains (convective and stratiform are the most predominant types) with only a small portion of the transmission path experiencing attenuation.
Rain fade is one of the most common, and often most misunderstood, phenomena to affect satellite signals.

 RepairNation.com - Automotive Encyclopedia: F
Drum brakes are more susceptible to fade than disc brakes because, 1) they don't dissipate heat as efficiently; 2) heat causes the open side of a drum to expand outward, or "bell" outward resulting in uneven contact with brake shoes.
As heat at the surface of the brake pads increases, the amount of friction available to slow the vehicle is reduced -- resulting in brake fade.
When the brakes are applied, the caliper slides laterally in a groove to apply pressure to both sides of a brake rotor.

 Rain fade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rain fade can be caused by rain or snow at the uplink or downlink location.

In satellite communications, rain fade refers to the absorption of a microwave

 Fade (radio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fade is caused mostly by conditions in the atmosphere at higher frequencies, and mostly by the ionosphere at lower ones.
In radio communications, fade describes the loss of signal strength at the receiver.
It may also be used to describe loss of signal clarity due to interference, though this is not technically exact.

Fade-in or fade-out, the gradual increase or decrease in volume, see fade (audio engineering).
The loss of signal strength at a radio receiver, see fade (radio).
Similarly, an increase or decrease in intensity of a light source, particularly in theatre, see fade (lighting).

 Seine Systems > Ti Brake Shield
Brake materials are different, and with enough temperature the material can melt and cause the coefficient of friction to rapidly decrease to the point where the material will melt and/or change its frictional characteristics and cause a lubrication effect.
An aggressive brake material may be ineffective when the brakes are not up to temperature resulting in a loss of braking effectiveness for street driving conditions but may be just the ticket for repeated braking from high speed.
While stock brakes are perfectly adequate, perhaps overkill for "normal", even spirited street driving, these same brakes used in track or high-performance conditions can quickly reach their limits especially when engine modifications have increased the vehicle's speed potential.

 Patent 4232330: Method and system for separating the chrominance and luminance signals in color television signals having quadrature-modulated chrominance subcarriers
The signal at the output of circuit 61 thus corresponds to the magnitude of the difference between the higher frequency components of the luminance signal at terminal 48 and the aperture correction signal.
Since fading between the main luminance signal generated in comb filter 37, 38, 39 and the low frequency luminance signal at the output of low-pass filter 46 does not require as fine a quantizing as is required for transmission of the video signal, the number of quantizing stages can be reduced at this point.
The output signals of aperture correction circuit 53 are compared to the output signals of circuit 51 in a subtraction circuit 60.

Fade happens when we try to force the brakes to convert energy at an average rate that exceeds their heat dissipation capacity.

Rain fade is characterised by ‘pixellation’ of the picture, where the image breaks into blocks.
National broadcasts often make use of satellite transmissions, but the due to the large size of the ABC's satellite dish's, rain fade is very rare and only likely in extreme weather conditions.
Unfortunately there is little that can be done to aviod rain fade, however the disruption to reception should be temporary.

Fade margin is the difference, in dB, between the magnitude of the received signal at the receiver input and the minimum level of signal determined for reliable operation.
Fade margin is often referred to as "thermal" or "system operating margin".
The exact amount of fade margin required depends on the desired reliability of the link, but a good rule-of-thumb is 20 to 30 dB.

I found a number of people selling 24" antennas that they claimed would help with rain fade problems, but nobody seems to suggest anything for correcting problems caused by an obstructed view of the sky.
I put the antenna up on the roof, hooked everything up, and had TV -- but I had bad rain fade in the winter, and an almost total lack of signal in the summer.
All was fine again, sort of -- the cable company started throwing in Golf Channel with the basic cable -- until I moved out to the boonies, to a place where there's no cable TV.
