  2. List of Unicode characters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

    95 characters; the 52 alphabet characters belong to the Latin script. The remaining 43 belong to the common script. The 33 characters classified as ASCII Punctuation & Symbols are also sometimes referred to as ASCII special characters. Often only these characters (and not other Unicode punctuation) are what is meant when an organization says a ...

  3. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_detectable_signal

    A minimum detectable signal is a signal at the input of a system whose power allows it to be detected over the background electronic noise of the detector system. It can alternately be defined as a signal that produces a signal-to-noise ratio of a given value m at the output. In practice, m is usually chosen to be greater than unity.

  4. Detection limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_limit

    The detection limit (according to IUPAC) is the smallest concentration, or the smallest absolute amount, of analyte that has a signal statistically significantly larger than the signal arising from the repeated measurements of a reagent blank. Mathematically, the analyte's signal at the detection limit is given by:

  5. Sentinel value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_value

    In computer programming, a sentinel value (also referred to as a flag value, trip value, rogue value, signal value, or dummy data) is a special value in the context of an algorithm which uses its presence as a condition of termination, typically in a loop or recursive algorithm.

  6. Sensitivity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_index

    The sensitivity index or discriminability index or detectability index is a dimensionless statistic used in signal detection theory. A higher index indicates that the signal can be more readily detected.

  7. Step detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_detection

    Here, x i for i = 1, ...., N is the discrete-time input signal of length N, and m i is the signal output from the algorithm. The goal is to minimize H[m] with respect to the output signal m. The form of the function determines the particular algorithm. For example, choosing:

  8. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunable_diode_laser...

    If these noise contributions are held low, the sensitivity can be brought into the 10 −5 – 10 −6 range or even better. In general the absorption imprints are generated by a straight line light propagation through a volume with the specific gas. To further enhance the signal, the pathway of the light travel can be increased with multi-pass ...

  9. Stochastic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_resonance

    Stochastic resonance can be used to measure transmittance amplitudes below an instrument's detection limit. If Gaussian noise is added to a subthreshold (i.e., immeasurable) signal, then it can be brought into a detectable region. After detection, the noise is removed. A fourfold improvement in the detection limit can be obtained. [17]
