:: In January 2013 the then named " Amplifier " article was split up into various parts, and the remainder moved to Amplifier figures of merit.
32.
To assess a modern chemical sensor, several parameters can be combined to create a figure of merit called the "'receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) " '.
33.
In other words, U can be used as a figure of merit to compare any two-port active device ( which includes three-terminal devices used as two-ports ).
34.
The later D4 series engines quickly increased in power, so the number " 4 " just became a figure of merit rather than indicating actual engine power.
35.
Pixel count ( typically listed in megapixels, millions of pixels ) is only one of the major factors, though it is the most heavily marketed figure of merit.
36.
The thrust-to-weight ratio based on initial thrust and weight is often published and used as a figure of merit for quantitative comparison of the initial performance of vehicles.
37.
A high source level provides long range search capabilities, improved figure of merit, and a high-speed reeling machine to achieve maximum depth and retrieve the sonar transducer rapidly.
38.
In an engineering context with no explicit definition, the engineering figure of merit, mean time to repair would be the most probable intent by virtue of seniority of usage.
39.
Other figures of merit of the system are the electric power, mass and volume of the required magnetic field generator ( magnetic coils and / or permanent magnets ).
40.
The ratio ( T-D ) / W is similar to T / W, the Thrust-to-weight ratio, which is also used as a figure of merit for airplanes and rockets.
