Noise (signal processing)In signal processing, noise is a general term for unwanted (and, in general, unknown) modifications that a signal may suffer during capture, storage, transmission, processing, or conversion. Sometimes the word is also used to mean signals that are random (unpredictable) and carry no useful information; even if they are not interfering with other signals or may have been introduced intentionally, as in comfort noise. Noise reduction, the recovery of the original signal from the noise-corrupted one, is a very common goal in the design of signal processing systems, especially filters.
Estimation spectraleL'estimation spectrale regroupe toutes les techniques d'estimation de la densité spectrale de puissance (DSP). Les méthodes d'estimation spectrale paramétriques utilisent un modèle pour obtenir une estimation du spectre. Ces modèles reposent sur une connaissance a priori du processus et peuvent être classées en trois grandes catégories : Modèles autorégressif (AR) Modèles à moyenne ajustée (MA) Modèles autorégressif à moyenne ajustée (ARMA). L'approche paramétrique se décompose en trois étapes : Choisir un modèle décrivant le processus de manière appropriée.
Acoustic quietingAcoustic quieting is the process of making machinery quieter by damping vibrations to prevent them from reaching the observer. Machinery vibrates, causing sound waves in air, hydroacoustic waves in water, and mechanical stresses in solid matter. Quieting is achieved by absorbing the vibrational energy or minimizing the source of the vibration. It may also be redirected away from the observer. One of the major reasons for the development of acoustic quieting techniques was for making submarines difficult to detect by sonar.
Frein à disqueLe frein à disque est un système de freinage performant pour les véhicules munis de roues en contact avec le sol : automobile, moto, camion, avion, train, vélo tout terrain et pour diverses machines réclamant des freins performants et endurants. Ce système transforme l'énergie cinétique du véhicule en chaleur qui doit être dissipée le plus rapidement possible. thumb|alt=Vue du passage de roue avant d'une Ferrari F-430.

Noise (video)Noise, commonly known as static, white noise, static noise, or snow, in analog video and television, is a random dot pixel pattern of static displayed when no transmission signal is obtained by the antenna receiver of television sets and other display devices. The random pixel pattern is superimposed on the picture or the television screen, being visible as a random flicker of "dots", "snow" or "fuzzy zig-zags" in some television sets, is the result of electronic noise and radiated electromagnetic noise accidentally picked up by the antenna like air or cable.
