In telecommunication s, a hybrid balance is an expression of the degree of electrical symmetry between two impedance matching impedances connected to two conjugate sides of a hybrid coil or resistance hybrid . Note 1 Hybrid balance is usually expressed in decibel dB . Note 2 If the respective impedances of the branches of the hybrid that are connected to the conjugate sides of the hybrid are known, hybrid balance may be computed by the formula for return loss .

Multiple issues orphan February 2009 unreferenced January 2009 cleanup January 2009 context January 2009 Video camera s also have a function known as black balance , just like they have a white balance which gives reference to true white to the CCD s. Unlike Color temperature white balance , black balance is not adjusted every time. Purpose Its main purpose is to eliminate any residual current being output from the pixel sites under conditions of complete darkness, often referred to as Johnson Nyquist noise thermal noise . That s why the camera will automatically close the iris completely when it does the black balance. Conditions under which you may want to black balance are typically when the camera experiences a large change in operating temperature , especially from colder to warmer. Otherwise, it is a periodic thing to allow for other minor factors that could come into play. With CMOS sensor technology, black balancing may not be as necessary as it is with CCD type devices. We all talk about how clean and relatively noise free CMOS sensors are by design Availability Black balancing is done only in professional cameras. Amateur handycam users need not worry about black balance. Professional camcorders like the Sony DSR 400, Panasonic DV DVC Pro etc. have a switch which has to be flicked upwards to do the white balance. The same switch when pressed downwards does a black balance. In the Panasonic 102 3ccd series, the white balance switch when pressed just once triggers white balancing and when depressed and held for a few seconds completes the black balance. Most cameramen never touch the black balance. You can do the black balance if you feel that the colours are not truly represented even after doing the white balance. Frequency of black balance adjustment There is a lot of debate on whether it is necessary to do the black balance every time.

Expert subject mathematics date November 2008 For the riddle, see Balance puzzle . A balance puzzle is a mathematical puzzle which challenges the solver to distribute a subset of numbers so that the several sides of a stylized diagram representing a balance scale are equal. The balance puzzle is a classical number puzzle in the World Puzzle Championship . It consists in a mobile or tree structure, with designated positions where the player must hang specified weights, so that everything balances. See examples below. There are usually 8 to 12 consecutive numbers weights to place, which makes it much smaller than, for example, sudoku . As in many mathematical puzzles, the solution is unique. Expert puzzlers often prefer puzzles where the rules explicitly states that there is only one solution. This property allows for some reasoning strategies.

One source date February 2011 file Lord Kelvins Ampere Balance.png thumb The ampere balance The ampere balance also current balance or Kelvin balance is an electromechanical apparatus used for the accuracy and precision precise measurement of the SI unit of electric current , the ampere . It was invented by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin . The current to be measured is passed in series through two coils of wire, one of which is attached to one arm of a sensitive Weighing scale balance . The magnetic force between the two coils is measured by the amount of weight needed on the other arm of the balance to keep it in equilibrium. This is used to calculate the magnitude of the current. The main weakness of the ampere balance is that the calculation of the current involves the dimensions of the coils. So the accuracy of the current measurement is limited by the accuracy with which the coils can be measured, and their mechanical rigidity. An improved apparatus called the watt balance sidesteps this problem and is now used instead. Usage file Slider of Kelvin Ampere Balance.png thumb Slider of Kelvin s ampere balance Approximate readings may be obtained by reading the position of the weight on the scale, or a more accurate reading may be obtained as follows The upper edge of the shelf on which the weights slide is graduated into equal divisions, and the weight is provided with a sharp tongue of metal in order that its position on the shelf may be accurately determined. Since the current passing through the balance when wikt equilibrium equilibrium is obtained with a given weight is proportional to the square root of the couple due to this weight, it follows that the current strength when equilibrium is obtained is proportional to the product of the square root of the weight ... is made to cover a certain range of reading.
