device designed to reduce the power of a wave without distorting it.

A continuously graduated color or Neutral-Density camera filter used to tame snow, enrich sunsets, and perform Absorption magic more subtly than can be done with a Graduated Filter.

In electrical systems, a network that reduces the amplitude of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform. Note 1: Electrical attenuators are usually passive devices. Note 2: The degree of attenuation may be fixed, continuously adjustable, or incrementally adjustable. Fixed attenuators are often called pads, especially in telephony. Note [..]

Secondary structure that forms in the 5' untranslated region of some operons and causes the premature termination of transcription. © 2005 by W. H. Freeman and Company. All rights reserve [..]

refers to a calibrated device that accurately controls the intensity of tones or lights on electronic instruments, such as audiometers, stereophonic sound systems, radios, or video equipment.

An electronics device (resistors) used to reduce signal or power strength

A passive device that decreases signal power.

  A nucleotide sequence in the 5´ region of a prokaryotic gene (or in its RNA) that causes premature termination of transcription, possibly by forming a secondary structure.

A provisional transcription stop signal.

(French : atténuateur) A sequence of bases that occurs in the leader sequence of some operons and controls transcription. Synthesis of RNA may be terminated at this site.

(n) an electrical device for attenuating the strength of an electrical signal

A device inserted into the electrical or optical path to lessen or weaken the signal.

A wave energy capture device with principal axis oriented parallel to the direction of the incoming wave that converts the energy due to the relative motion of the parts of the device as the wave passes along it.

A variable resistive device used to reduce the value of current or voltage.

A device used to reduce the level of the signal strength in a system without introducing appreciable distortion. This can be a resistor network or a control on a piece of equipment.

A device for causing or measuring attenuation. Usually calibrated in decibels.

a device that reduces the level of a signal.

A control region at the promoter end of repressible amino acid operons that exerts transcriptional control based on the translation of a small leader peptide gene. A region adjacent to the structural [..]

A traffic barrier designed to compress under impact.

A device to decrease or increase the strength of a signal.

The electronic dohickey under the knobs that increases or reduces the strength of the signal running through it. When these get old and dirty, they can make popping noises or rumbles in your PA (As in [..]

A resistive component inserted into a circuit to reduce signal amplitude. A network that reduces the amplitude of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform.

A passive device used to reduce signal strength.
