  2. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    One type uses an adjustable damper or pressure bedding point to allow the shooter to find the "sweet spot", where it will do the most good at damping the vibrations that are affecting accuracy. [ 52 ] [ 53 ] Other tuners work by using an adjustable weight on the muzzle to alter the length of the resonant portion of the barrel, and allowing the ...

  3. Flash suppressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_suppressor

    The Noveske Rifleworks KX-3 is a flash suppressor intended for use on shorter barreled rifles and aids in reliability. The back pressure generated through this type of flash suppressor helps to cycle the rifle. Noveske patterned this design on the muzzle brake found on the Soviet AKS-74U carbine, where it was explicitly used for this purpose.

  4. Silencer (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silencer_(firearms)

    A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...

  5. Suppressor variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressor_variable

    A suppressor variable is a variable that increases the predictive validity of another variable when included in a regression equation. [1] Suppression can occur when a single causal variable is related to an outcome variable through two separate mediator variables, and when one of those mediated effects is positive and one is negative.

  6. Echo suppression and cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_suppression_and...

    Although echo suppressors and echo cancellers have similar goals—preventing a speaking individual from hearing an echo of their own voice—the methods they use are different: Echo suppressors work by detecting a voice signal going in one direction on a circuit, and then muting or attenuating the signal in the other direction. Usually, the ...

  7. Metrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrology

    The four primary reasons for calibrations are to provide traceability, to ensure that the instrument (or standard) is consistent with other measurements, to determine accuracy, and to establish reliability. [2] Traceability works as a pyramid, at the top level there is the international standards, which beholds the world's standards.

  8. Accuracy and precision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision

    Accuracy is also used as a statistical measure of how well a binary classification test correctly identifies or excludes a condition. That is, the accuracy is the proportion of correct predictions (both true positives and true negatives) among the total number of cases examined. [10] As such, it compares estimates of pre- and post-test probability.

  9. Reliability (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_(statistics)

    Also, reliability is a property of the scores of a measure rather than the measure itself and are thus said to be sample dependent. Reliability estimates from one sample might differ from those of a second sample (beyond what might be expected due to sampling variations) if the second sample is drawn from a different population because the true ...
