	Gain - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In electronics, gain is usually taken as the mean ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of the system.
		A gain of five would imply that either the voltage or power is increased by a factor of five.
		A gain of factor 1 or (equivalent to 0 dB) where both input and output are at the same voltage level is also known as unity gain.

		Insertion gain errors are usually expressed as a percent variation from the nominal value.
		Insertion gain testing is done by applying either a SMPTE color bars signal or a full-field, 75% color bars test signal having a 100% white reference level.
		Insertion gain error, if any, is determined by noting the position of the white bar and subtracting 100%.

	Tektronix MBD: Applications > Component Puzzle: Amplitude Measurements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Insertion gain refers to the overall amplitude of a television signal and is measured as the peak-to-peak voltage of the video waveform (usually including sync on luminance signals).
		You may have access to only one control for adjusting insertion gain, or you may be able to separately adjust the sync and active video levels -- changing the range from blanking to peak white with one control and from blanking to sync tip with another.
		Whereas insertion gain refers to the overall level of all three channels in a component signal, gain balance refers to the matching of levels between channels.

	Functional Gain and Insertion Gain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Insertion gain is the difference between the sound pressure level in the earcanal under aided and unaided conditions.
		Yet many users of probe-tube systems find significant differences between functional gain and insertion gain when the two are measured with the same hearing aid on the same individual.
		Insertion gain is much faster to do, it measures many more frequencies, calibration is easy to control, accuracy is better, and the results can tell you more about what happens under normal conversational conditions.

	elements of effective hearing-aid performance
		The 2-cc coupler frequency response that corresponds to flat insertion gain of a hearing aid in an average ear has been measured and plotted by Killion and Revit (1993). A family of these "CORFIG" curves (Coupler Response for Flat Insertion Gain) is shown in Fig.
		Hearing aids with flat insertion gain and low distortion at all useful levels could be described as "high fidelity" for normal listeners.
		An effective hearing aid should compensate for the perceptive distortions of the patient; it should provide a neutral base (flat insertion gain and low distortion) that doesn't bias the compensation processing; and it should be fitted to the hearing characteristics of the individual patient. Fulfilling two out of three of these requirements is not enough.

		The functional gain of a hearing aid at a given frequency, expressed in dB, is the difference between the aided and unaided sound-field thresholds at that frequency (38).
		The insertion gain of a hearing aid at a given frequency, also expressed in dB, is the difference between the aided and unaided eardrum SPL at that frequency.
		Both functional gain and insertion gain are real-ear measurements that require the user to be present and wearing the hearing aid.

	Insertion Gain Measurements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Differences between insertion gain measurements and coupler measurements were investigated using two different hearing aids, to assess the accuracy of hearing aid fitting methods which involve the use of real-ear-to-coupler differences (RECDs).
		They were allocated alternatively to 80 new adult hearing aid users, and insertion gain measurement was carried out with the allocated aid on all subjects, and with both hearing aids on 36 subjects.
		Comparison of the coupler measurements and the insertion gain measurements suggests that the differences in insertion gain produced by different hearing aids cannot be predicted accurately from the differences in coupler gain measurements produced by the same aids.

	Abstracts of Jerry L. Punch, Ph.D.
		Target gain values derived from a given prescriptive formula provide an indication of the functional or insertion gain desired of a hearing instrument for an individual listener.
		Selection of an appropriate hearing instrument from manufacturers' specifications typically requires that these targeted frequency-gain characteristics be transformed from desired functional or insertion gain to equivalent 2 cc coupler gain values.
		The extent to which individual ear canal acoustics, degree of audiometric loss and specific prescriptive rule determine the target coupler gain is illustrated by data collected using five adult subjects and three simulated audiometric configurations.

		The reduced high-frequency gain relative to prescriptive targets is understandable, because this prevented feedback from occurring at use gain, and also it is unlikely that speech audibility could be achieved without discomfort for frequencies above 1500 Hz.
		Two potentiometers were adjusted to fine-tune the BTE receiver's frequency response and output to match the hearing-aid-only insertion response of the Extend-EarTM to that of the Viennatone for 65 dB SPL composite noise (Fig.
		After final adjustments were made to provide a close match to real-ear insertion response (REIR) and RESR measures made with the patient's personal hearing aid, he was instructed to wear the Extend-EarTM device for classroom and leisure use for a period of 1 week.

		The REAR is the gain in decibels relative to the stimulus level presented to the patient.
		The real-ear insertion gain (REIG) is the difference between the REAR and the REUR and is used to verify that the predetermined target insertion gain has been achieved.

	First Experience with Novel Microsource X-Ray Tube (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This is the ratio of the intensity from an X-ray source delivered into a defined small area (comparable to the size of a specimen crystal) at the focus of the mirror when it is in position, to the intensity when the collimating mirror is removed.
		Theoretical calculations indicate an insertion gain of 250-3000 from use of optimum ellipsoidal mirrors [2].
		The gain presently achieved is only about 50, such that improvements in both the profile accuracy and the surface smoothness of mirrors can be expected soon to enable higher flux by a factor of 5-30.

		In each graph, the thick, gray curve is the insertion gain as measured with the probe tube right at the eardrum; the thick, gray curve, thus, is taken to represent the "true" insertion gain.
		For the measurements done the "new way", only one of the samples shows relatively minor variations from the true insertion gain.

		During this period, the spacecraft is performing no activities that are not necessary for a successful orbit insertion.
		About two hours before Saturn Orbit Insertion, Cassini will stop broadcasting detailed engineering telemetry to Earth, because she is about to rotate so that her main antenna will protect her during her passage through the rings.
		Unfortunately, because of the critical importance of the Orbit Insertion Burn maneuver, Cassini will be unable to use her cameras to photograph Saturn from this vantage point.

		When instrument gain is considered, softer earmolds may be advantageous because they can fit more snugly, provide a more secure fit, and prevent the sound leakage that can cause feedback.
		As a general rule, larger vents mean less low-frequency gain, so the amount of venting can help modify the response of the amplified signal.
		An exception to this rule is in the case of an unhealthy ear canal.

		By comparing the tables for insertion gain and coupler gain for each method, it is possible to extract the correction figures ("CORFIG" values) that are used by each to convert insertion-gain targets to 2cc-coupler prescriptions for the average ear.
		Although it might be reasonable to expect that all of the methods would use the same average-ear conversion factors, this is not the case.
		2] The precise effects of venting on real-ear insertion gain are quite complex, and the available data did not sufficiently address the complexities involved.
