  DBrn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note 1: Weighted noise power in dB is referred to 1.0 picowatt.
Use of 144 line, 144-receiver, or C-message weighting, or flat weighting, must be indicated in parentheses as required.
Note 2: With C-message weighting, a one-milliwatt, 1000-Hz tone will read +90 dBrn, but the same power as white noise, randomly distributed over a 3 kHz band will read approximately +88.5 dBrn (rounded off to +88 dBrn), because of the frequency weighting.

 Weighting Filter
Weighting filters are Special filters used in measuring loudness levels, and consequently carried over into audio noise measurements of equipment.
Weighting filters are a special type of band-limiting filters designed to compliment the way we hear.
Since the ear's loudness vs. frequency response is not flat, it is argued, we should not try to correlate flat frequency vs. loudness measurements with what we hear.

 The Art of Weighting & Tuning Boomerangs
Weighting can be used to adjust the flight of a particular boomerang to your particular throwing style.
Attaching the weights to the bottom of the wing decreases the lift which is desirable in a strong wind.
I used to always tape the weight in such a way that the tape was smoothly attached to the boomerang surface with the weight not protruding beyond the tapes edge.

Weighting means just what it implies — putting weight onto your skateboard, more even then your actual body weight.
For example, turning toward the front of your body on a flat surface is usually called a "front-side" turn, because you are turning toward your front.
When you drive your weight upward as you diagonally shift it during each half of the gyration, you generate a centripetal force.

 Audio Weighting Networks
Seriously, weighting networks play a crucial role in the measurement of sound and understanding the role they play will more than likely prove to be a valuable asset in the future.
These networks, commonly referred to as "A", "B", and "C" weight filters, are used to tailor the frequency response of electronic test equipment in such a manner as to simulate the ear's perception of sound.
For the most part, "A" weighting is used for relatively low level SPLs in the range of 20 to 55 dB and it's response curve correlates most closely to the ear's frequency response at these low listening levels.

 Signal compander system - Patent 4112254
In a system according to claim 12 wherein said predetermined frequency bandwidth is the audio range, and said means for emphasizing and weighting within a portion of said frequency bandwidth pre-emphasizes and weights the high frequency energy content of said input signal with respect to the low energy content of said input signal.
The number of weighting filters which can be connected together, therefore, is not limited but is merely a function of the amount of weighting desired which in turn is a function of the amount of compression and subsequent expansion provided.
In accordance with the present invention, the networks 40 are substituted for the weighting filters 20, 26, 32 and 34 to provide the desired pre-emphasis and complementary de-emphasis depending on the desired companding ratio.

Opponents of pupil weighting, however, have argued that a system of weighting students with special needs would present an incentive for identifying such students and that the incidence rate would likely increase.
To determine if pupil weighting affects the frequency of identifying students as needing special education, an analysis was conducted of the EEN incidence rates in states that applied pupil weighting versus those that did not.
The group of states using pupil weighting to distribute special education funding actually had a slightly (0.20) lower rate of EEN incidence in 1997 than the group of cost reimbursement states.

Each pixel in the aperture is assigned a weighting factor W proportional to its ADU value and normalized so that the sum of all weighting factors times intensities is 1.0.
Thus, the total counts in the aperture are preserved, but the highest weight is assigned to the pixels with the greatest number of counts (and therefore highest signal-to-noise).
To apply the flat field correction, we divide each of the nine pixels at a given location [y,x] on the target frame by the single extracted, normalized flat field value corresponding to that pixel.

 GROUPR: Weighting Function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Neutrons are born at high energies (about 2 MeV) with a characteristic fission spectrum, many of them slow down by collisions with hydrogen nuclei in the water, resulting in a 1/E shape, and they finally come into equilibrium when they reach thermal energies, resulting in a Maxwellian shape appropriate to the temperature of the system.
The curves are plotted as log-log "weight per unit lethargy" or E*W(E), which makes the central 1/E part of the curve flat.
The parameters used to generate the curve for IWT=4 were a thermal temperature of.0253 eV joined to 1/E at 0.1 eV, and a fission temperature of 1.40 MeV joined to 1/E at 820.3 keV.

 CGTalk - Accurate HyperNURB cylinder - how?
I selected all of the vertices and reduced their weighting until the profile was as close to circular as I could make it (compared with a reference circle spline).
I had been trying to do it by weighting vertices and/or edges, rather than faces because without any weighting applied, the 'cylinder' bulged out towards the edges - hence I though that the edges were what should have the weights reduced, not the faces.
You are saying that face weights don't really exist, they are just a way of adjusting vertex and edge weights at the same time.

 IRAF help : noao.twodspec.apextract apvariance (Aug90)
The second type weights each pixel in the sum by it's estimated variance based on a spectrum model and detector noise parameters.
Variance weighting is often called "optimal" extraction since it produces the best unbiased signal-to-noise estimate of the flux in the two dimensional profile.
As a final step when computing a weighted/cleaned spectrum the total fluxes from the weighted spectrum and the simple unweighted spectrum (excluding any deviant and saturated pixels) are computed and a "bias" factor of the ratio of the two fluxes is multiplied into the weighted spectrum and the sigma estimate.

A psophometer was a voltmeter with a set of weighting filters.] Weighting filters are a special type of band-limiting filters designed to compliment the way we hear.
A-weighting (not official but commonly written as dBA) The A-curve is a wide bandpass filter centered at 2.5 kHz, with ~20 dB attenuation at 100 Hz, and ~10 dB attenuation at 20 kHz, therefore it tends to heavily roll-off the low end, with a more modest effect on high frequencies.
It is the inverse of the 30-phon (or 30 dB-SPL) equal-loudness curve of Fletcher-Munson.

 Loudness control circuit - Patent 4320534
Another object of the invention is to provide a loudness control circuit which can be provided in the form of an integrated circuit, and in which as the volume is decreased, the sound in the high and low frequency ranges is automatically boosted with the aid of DC voltages outputted by variable DC voltage sources.
The variable DC voltage for adjusting volume is applied to the first input terminals of the amplifiers A4 and A5, while the reference voltages are applied to the second input terminals of the amplifiers A4 and A5 for maintaining the tone flat irrespective of the variations of volume.
The voltages thus applied to the input terminals of the differential amplifiers A4 and A5 are subjected to comparison to provide difference voltages, which are applied to the tone control amplifiers 9 and 10 so as to control the gains of the latter, whereby the tone is compensated according to the volume.

This is called a "flat" measurement, since all frequencies are measured equally.
Alternatively, noise filters, or weighting filters, are used when measuring noise.
The argument used to justify this is that the ear is not sensitive to low frequencies at low levels (à la Fletcher-Munson equal loudness curves), but that argument is false.

ANSI A-weighting The A-curve is a wide bandpass filter centered at 2.5 kHz, with ~20 dB attenuation at 100 Hz, and ~10 dB attenuation at 20 kHz, so it tends to heavily roll-off the low end, with a more modest effect on high frequencies.
A plot of white noise power vs. frequency is flat if the measuring device uses the same width filter for all measurements.
Therefore the plot of noise power vs. frequency is not flat, but shows a 3 dB rise in amplitude per octave of frequency change.

 9. The buildmodel estimation process
Sequence weighting is particularly important when, as normal, the sequence data given to SAM is biased toward some type or subfamily of sequences (for example, from those organisms that have been most studied).
Sequence weighting is particularly important in database discrimination: without sequence weighting, the model may specialize to an over-represented subset of the sequences, meaning that family members that do not happen to be in that sub-family will receive low scores.
By default, internal weighting of alignments is turned on, with Henikoff relative weighting, 0.5 target bits per column, and a 0.5 exponent.
