  2. Light characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_characteristic

    A Morse code light is light in which appearances of light of two clearly different durations (dots and dashes) are grouped to represent a character or characters in the Morse Code. For example, "Mo(A)" is a light in which in each period light is shown for a short period (dot) followed by a long period (dash), the Morse Code for "A".

  3. 3.. 6.. 9 Seconds of Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.._6.._9_Seconds_of_Light

    3.. 6.. 9 Seconds of Light was Belle & Sebastian's third EP, released in 1997 on Jeepster Records. The lead track on the EP, "A Century of Fakers," uses the same backing track as "A Century of Elvis" from Lazy Line Painter Jane. Another song, "Songs for Children" (sometimes known as "On the Radio") plays directly after "Put the Book Back on the ...

  4. 3-way lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-way_lamp

    A 3-way lamp, also known as a tri-light, is a lamp that uses a 3-way light bulb to produce three levels of light in a low-medium-high configuration. A 3-way lamp requires a 3-way bulb and socket, and a 3-way switch. In 3-way incandescent light bulbs, each of the filaments operates at full voltage. Lamp bulbs with dual carbon filaments were ...

  5. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    The code-rate is hence a real number. A low code-rate close to zero implies a strong code that uses many redundant bits to achieve a good performance, while a large code-rate close to 1 implies a weak code. The redundant bits that protect the information have to be transferred using the same communication resources that they are trying to protect.

  6. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

    There are no actual daylight light sources, only simulators. Constructing a practical light source that emulates a D-series illuminant is a difficult problem. The chromaticity can be replicated simply by taking a well known light source and applying filters, such as the Spectralight III, that used filtered incandescent lamps. [22]

  7. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    On an IBM mainframe, a power-on reset (POR) is a sequence of actions that the processor performs either due to a POR request from the operator or as part of turning on power. The operator requests a POR for configuration changes that cannot be recognized by a simple System Reset .

  8. Lightfastness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightfastness

    In grey scale the lightfastness is rated between 1–5. 1 being very poor and 5 being excellent lightfastness. [1] [2] [10] On ASTM scale the lightfastness is rated between I-V. I is excellent lightfastness and it corresponds to ratings 7–8 on Blue Wool Scale. V is very poor lightfastness and it corresponds to Blue Wool scale rating 1. [10]

  9. Lights Out (game) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lights_Out_(game)

    If a light is on, it must be toggled an odd number of times to be turned off. If a light is off, it must be toggled an even number of times (including none at all) for it to remain off. Several conclusions are used for the game's strategy. Firstly, the order in which the lights are pressed does not matter, as the result will be the same. [5]
