  2. Freehub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freehub

    A freehub is a type of bicycle hub that incorporates a ratcheting mechanism. A set of sprockets (called a " cassette ") is mounted onto a splined shaft of the freehub to engage the chain . The ratcheting mechanism is a part of the hub, in contrast to a freewheel , an older technology, which contains both the sprockets and a ratcheting mechanism ...

  3. Freewheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freewheel

    Freewheel mechanism Ratcheting freewheel mechanism (van Anden, 1869). In mechanical or automotive engineering, a freewheel or overrunning clutch is a device in a transmission that disengages the driveshaft from the driven shaft when the driven shaft rotates faster than the driveshaft.

  4. Noise rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_Rock

    Noise rock (sometimes called noise punk) [2] is a noise-oriented style of experimental rock [3] that spun off from punk rock in the 1980s. [4] [5] Drawing on movements such as minimalism, industrial music, and New York hardcore, [6] artists indulge in extreme levels of distortion through the use of electric guitars and, less frequently, electronic instrumentation, either to provide percussive ...

  5. Spline (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mechanical)

    Cassettes engage the freehub via a spline that has one groove wider than the others to enforce a fixed orientation. Disc brake mounting interfaces that are splined include Centerlock, by Shimano. Aircraft engines may have a spline upon which mounts the propeller .

  7. Noisy-channel coding theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-channel_coding_theorem

    In information theory, the noisy-channel coding theorem (sometimes Shannon's theorem or Shannon's limit), establishes that for any given degree of noise contamination of a communication channel, it is possible (in theory) to communicate discrete data (digital information) nearly error-free up to a computable maximum rate through the channel.

  8. Gaussian noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_noise

    In signal processing theory, Gaussian noise, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, is a kind of signal noise that has a probability density function (pdf) equal to that of the normal distribution (which is also known as the Gaussian distribution). [1] [2] In other words, the values that the noise can take are Gaussian-distributed.

  9. Noisy data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy_data

    Noisy data are data that is corrupted, distorted, or has a low signal-to-noise ratio. Improper procedures (or improperly-documented procedures) to subtract out the noise in data can lead to a false sense of accuracy or false conclusions. Noisy data are data with a large amount of additional meaningless information in it called noise. [1]
