Examples

“In this context, mean acquisition time is used as a performance measure.”

“During the acquisition time, the sample switch closes and the input voltage charges the A/D's internal 120 pF capacitance C_(HOLD).”

“The acquisition time for a UWB signal is thus large due to a combination of the low energy per pulse and very short pulse durations (nanoseconds or hundreds of picoseconds, typically).”

“The speed-based acquisition algorithm controls the location acquisition time interval in such a way that when a user is moving faster than before, the location acquistion time interval is shortened and when the speed gets slower the location acquistion interval is increased appropriately.”

“Following the pulse irradiation, the acquisition time is the part of the sequence where the free induction decay (FID) signal is recorded. The acquisition time is dependent on the digital resolution required.”

“The best way to deal with motion is to shorten the acquisition time.”

“Reducing the acquisition time to 2s results in the sampling of 32K real data points, and acceptance of reduced digital resolution at 0.25 Hz/point, but it will reduce sample heating if C decoupling is used.”

“The acquisition time is the key scanner characteristic that determines whether the previously stated goal will be possible.”

“Since oversampling entails collecting additional phase-encoding steps and the acquisition time is proportional to the number of phase-encoding steps, the use of oversampling increases the acquisition time.”

“The equation given above can be used to estimate the number of photons and the acquisition time needed to record a fluorescence lifetime image.”

“To see an increased acquisition time as an extension of coverage might seem strange at initial thought but this could actually be a means that can improve coverage for all type of channels.”

“Therefore, to the first-order, the acquisition time increases linearly with increasing frequency steps and decreases as a quadratic with increasing natural frequency.”

“We believe that management control, planning, accountability, and specific procurement practices to be discussed, work together as an integrated whole to reduce the total acquisition time and complexity.”

“To assess total acquistion time for the sample, we divided the process into three components: requirements development, internal approval, and solicitation to award.”
