computerized tomography computed tomography CT computerized axial tomography computed axial tomography CAT | a method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis |
computerized axial tomography scanner CAT scanner | a tomograph that constructs a -D model of an object by combining parallel planes |
shock absorber shock cushion | a mechanical damper, absorbs energy of sudden impulses, the old car needed a new set of shocks |
randomness haphazardness stochasticity noise | the quality of lacking any predictable order or plan |
noise | incomprehensibility resulting from irrelevant information or meaningless facts or remarks, all the noise in his speech concealed the fact that he didn't have anything to say |
noise level background level | the amplitude level of the undesired background noise |
axial skeleton | the part of the skeleton that includes the skull and spinal column and sternum and ribs |
axial muscle | a skeletal muscle of the trunk or head |
noise dissonance racket | the auditory experience of sound that lacks musical quality, sound that is a disagreeable auditory experience, modern music is just noise to me |
noise | a loud outcry of protest or complaint, the announcement of the election recount caused a lot of noise, whatever it was he didn't like it and he was going to let them know by making as loud a noise as he could |
noise | sound of any kind (especially unintelligible or dissonant sound), he enjoyed the street noises, they heard indistinct noises of people talking, during the firework display that ended the gala the noise reached decibels |
noise interference disturbance | electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication |
background noise ground noise | extraneous noise contaminating sound measurements that cannot be separated from the desired signal |
surface noise | noise produced by the friction of the stylus of a record player moving over the rotating record |
white noise | a noise produced by a stimulus containing all of the audible frequencies of vibration, white noise is a good masking agent |
radio noise | static at radio wavelengths |
axial rotation axial motion roll | rotary motion of an object around its own axis, wheels in axial rotation |
signal-to-noise ratio signal-to-noise signal noise ratio signal noise S N | the ratio of signal intensity to noise intensity |
noise conditions | the condition of being noisy (as in a communication channel) |
noise pollution sound pollution | annoying and potentially harmful environmental noise |
absorber | (physics) material in a nuclear reactor that absorbs radiation |
make noise resound noise | emit a noise |
axial | situated on or along or in the direction of an axis |
axial | of or relating to or resembling an axis of rotation |
axile axial | relating to or attached to the axis, axial angle |
