stands for "root mean square" It is a term used with AC voltages or currents to indicate the equivalent DC voltage or current For a sine wave, the RMS value is equal to the peak-to-peak value divided by 2*sqrt(2), or 2 282, or the peak value divided by sqrt(2), or 1 414 You can also multiply the peak value by 0 707, which is the same as dividing by 1 414 The RMS value of the signal depends on the shape of the waveform For instance, the RMS value of a square wave is not the peak value multiplied by 0 707, rather, it is equal to the peak value of the square wave
Resource Management System, an RMS is a combination of conservation practices working together that, when applied, will resolve all of the identified resource problems An RMS requires that all resources be treated to the identified quality criteria level
Root Mean Square (RMS) is a calculation process for alternating current and voltage waveforms The RMS calculation is intended to provide a measurement of an AC current that is equivalent to a comparable DC current

Root-mean-square For a sine wave, RMS voltage is measured as the peak to peak voltage divided by 2 then multiplied by 0 707 In essence, RMS calculations are developed from continuous power output measurements to each channel of an Altec Lansing speaker system Each channel's RMS is then added together to develop the Total System RMS power measurement This measurement contrasts with the term Total System Power, measured on initial bursts of power output at the beginning of the measurement period, and which is of very short duration Because of the inherent qualities of power amplifiers, these initial bursts often achieve amplitudes of much greater dimension than those sustained results on which RMS is calculated Total System Power measurements tend to be much higher than RMS RMS measures overall, realistic, sustained system power
Root-Mean-Square - a statistical measure of the dispersion or spread of a group of data The name comes from the fact that the RMS is equal to the square Root of the Mean (average) of the sum of Squares of the values in the data set With regards to resections, the RMS provides a measure of the quality of the resection
The square root of the mean of the sum of the squares Commonly used as the effective value of measuring a sine wave's electrical power A standard in amplifier measurements
Root Mean Square An overall measurement of the signal going in or coming out of a hearing aid When measuring with Puretones, the RMS level at each individual frequency will be the same as the level shown at each frequency on a response curve When measuring with a Composite Tone, the (overall) RMS level will be several dB higher than the level at each frequency on a response curve, since all the frequencies are presented at once
an acronym for "root mean square " Used in audio to help rate the continuous power output of an amplifier or input capability of speakers This is the preferred method for comparing anything in audio applications
or Root-Mean-Square value The square root of the time-averaged squares of a series of measurements Refer to a textbook on electrical engineering In the exclusive case of a sine wave, s, the RMS value, is 0 707 ´ the peak value
Revised Management Scheme Whereas the RMP is focused on the setting of catch limits, the RMS covers other management systems such as inspection, the observer system, etc Since some whale stocks, such as minke whale stocks, are abundant enough to bear some harvesting under the RMP, resumption of commercial whaling is possible if development of the RMS is completed The International Observer Scheme had already been introduced in 1972, and setting of such management scheme is said to be completed in several hours in other fishery negotiations outside the IWC Therefore, whaling nations regard the delay in development of the RMS as a political tactic by the anti-whaling nations to block the resumption of commercial whaling Another example of a similar tactic is Southern Ocean Sanctuary
Root mean square The square root of the sum of the squares of a set of quantities divided by the total number of quantities The RMS value of an AC (alternating current) always produces a positive value proportional to the amplitude AC signal and is easily read by a monitoring system
Root Mean Square This notation is used frequently with error analysis In that context, it is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the deviations of the individual calibration points from the theoretical or ideal response
abbreviation for root mean square, ie the effective voltage or current of an AC wave
Root mean square The square root of the sum of the squares of a set of quantities divided by the total number of quantities Used when monitoring ac (alternating current) signals Many power supplies, for example, issue an ac signal This needs to be converted to a dc (direct current) signal for the PC interface The solution is a signal conditioning input that produces a dc signal proportional to the rms of the amplitude of the input signal The rms operation means the reading will always be positive
Root Mean Square, Effective DC valueof sinewave voltage or current The effective value is ,707 times the peak voltage or peak current measured Series Circuit Loads connected end to end across a voltage source Set point The point at which a controller will perform a function The setpoint can be either factory fixed or user adjustable as in a temperature controller or a timer
Literally "root mean square " A DC voltage that will produce the same heating effect (power output in Watts) as the AC voltage For a sine wave, the RMS value is equal to 0 707 times the peak value of an AC voltage Example: divide Peak-to-Peak by 2 (or in half) and multiple by 0 707 = RMS voltage
Richard M Stallman In 1976, developed Emacs, the world's best and most widely used text editor Went on to develop gcc, the most widely used compiler for the C programming language Won a $240,000 MacArthur fellowship in 1990 Stallman is the founder of the free software movement (see www fsf org), and Project GNU, which gave rise to Linux
Root-Mean-Square An amplitude measure of an electrical signal that reflects the net power capability of the signal or a speaker Note that this differs from the peak power, which reflects the maximum instantaneous power capability
