Areas near the poles are most distorted on maps, as the projection of the Earth's curved surface onto a flat map causes significant distortion in these regions. This distortion is known as polar distortion and results in inaccuracies in size and shape of landmasses near the poles.
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
The most likely unit used to measure amounts of produce at a supermarket is pounds or kilograms, depending on the region. These units are commonly used to quantify the weight of fruits and vegetables.
Distortion criteria refer to the acceptable level of distortion or error in a signal or system before it is considered unacceptable. It helps in evaluating the quality of the output signal by comparing it to the original input signal. Various measurements and standards are used to determine distortion criteria in different contexts such as audio processing, image processing, and data transmission.
The distortion factor is a measure of how much a signal deviates from its original form after passing through a system or device. It indicates the level of unwanted changes or alterations to the signal, such as noise, harmonics, or frequency shifts, which can affect the quality and fidelity of the signal. A lower distortion factor value indicates that the signal remains closer to its original form and is less affected by unwanted modifications.
Most guitar amplifiers have distortion channels built-in. Typically a foot-switch is used to switch from "distortion" to "clean".
A Boss DS 1 Distortion pedal is used in a guitar to produce unique sounds. It is used to change guitar sounds to a make a unique rock and roll distortion.
Distortion was primarily used during the 1960s to the 1970s. Distortion was primarily created by over-driving the power valves on solid wood electric guitars.
The most famous, meaning classic, brands that make distortion pedals are BOSS, Ibanez, EHX and ProCo. This does not mean that they are the best. There are a bunch of lesser known distortion pedals that are just as good.
The spectrum analyzer is used to do distortion analysis to the signal. Due to the fact that we don't have a pure generated signal. In reality, there must be some distortion. The distortion analysis is important in the communication field as well as in electronics.
In a distortion factor meter the filter at the front end is used to suppress which type of hormonics
Size distortion has to do with magnification. Increased SID decreases distortion especially is it's within the appropriate range for the part. (ie 40/72). Increasing OID is most detrimental and increases distortion. Angling the tube increases SID HOWEVER, it increases distortion. Angling the tube also increases distortion for shape. If the part and IR are not properly *aligned or *centered, this also increases distortion. Shape distortion has to do with elongating or foreshortening a part on the image.
It is Total Harmonic Distortion, and has to do with how "clean" the output power is. For those of us in the lighting and electrical world, THD refers to the Harmonic Distortion present with most electrical equipment, and more specifically now, the distortion present with electronic ballasts. THD is the measurement of the distortion created from the equipment's current draw. True resistive loads, such as an incandescent light bulb, do not have THD. Equipment containing coils and capacitors, such as motors, drives, fluorescent lighting and HID lighting, have some measure of THD.

A metric ruler is the most common device used to measure millimeters.
