Aerospace | 1. Any device introduced into the atmosphere for producing an appreciable radar echo, usually for tracking some airborne device or as a tracer of wind. 2. A World War II code name for a type of radar-jamming device employed to confuse the operators of enemy radars (also referred to by the code names of rope, chaff , and clutter ). One type of window consists of packages containing thousands of small strips of paperbacked tinfoil which may be dropped from aircraft and balloons, ejected from rockets, and carried within balloons. The packages burst open upon ejection, scattering the tinfoil widely, producing a radar echo which looks like a small shower or a tight formation of aircraft on plan-position-indicator scopes.3. Any gap in a linear continuum, as atmospheric windows , ranges of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum to which the atmosphere is transparent, or firing windows , intervals of time during which conditions are favorable for launching a spacecraft on a specific mission.

Bible | Window properly only an opening in a house for the admission of light and air, covered with lattice-work, which might be opened or closed (2 Kings 1:2; Acts 20:9). The spies in Jericho and Paul at Damascus were let down from the windows of houses abutting on the town wall (Josh. 2:15; 2 Cor. 11:33). The clouds are metaphorically called the "windows of heaven" (Gen. 7:11; Mal. 3:10). The word thus rendered in Isa. 54:12 ought rather to be rendered "battlements" (LXX., "bulwarks;" R.V., "pinnacles"), or as Gesenius renders it, "notched battlements, i.e., suns or rays of the sun"= having a radiated appearance like the sun.

Dream Interpretation | To see windows in your dreams, is an augury of fateful culmination to bright hopes. You will see your fairest wish go down in despair. Fruitless endeavors will be your portion. To see closed windows is a representation of desertion. If they are broken, you will be hounded by miserable suspicions of disloyalty from those you love. To sit in a window, denotes that you will be the victim of folly. To enter a house through a window, denotes that you will be found out while using dishonorable means to consummate a seemingly honorable purpose. To escape by one, indicates that you will fall into a trouble whose toils will hold you unmercifully close. To look through a window when passing and strange objects appear, foretells that you will fail in your chosen avocation and lose the respect for which you risked health and contentment.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
One might be looking for window (computing) =Opening in Wall= A window is an opening in the wall of a building that allows light to enter a room and people to see out. At previous times in history they were merely small oval or square holes in the walls.
Very early windows were shielded with hide or cloth stretched over the opening or wooden shutters. Later on two different types of windows were invented: mullioned glass windows, which multiple very small pieces of glass joined together with leading, and paper windows. Mullioned glass windows were the windows of choice among European riches, whereas paper windows were so economical and widely used in ancient China and Japan. In England glass only became common in the windows of ordinary homes in the early 17th century. Modern-style floor-to-ceiling windows only became possible after the industrial glass-making process was perfected.
Modern windows are customarily large glassed-in rectangles or squares. Churches traditionally have stained glass windows.
Today a window can be made in any shape and size desired.
Windows Styles
Modern windows come in many styles. These include:The terms "single-light" or "double-light" (or "'more'-light") refer to the number of glass panes in a window.
- Double-hung sash window: the traditional style of window, with two separate pieces which overlap slightly and which slide up and down inside a frame; each movable piece is termed a sash
- Sliding window: with two or more separate pieces that overlap slightly, at least one of which slides sideways within a frame
- Casement window: a window which turns out at an angle, staying fixed along one side, usually opening by a cranked mechanism
- Jalousie window: a window (or door) comprising many slats of glass, which open and close like a Venetian blind, usually by a cranked mechanism
- Clerestory window: a vertical window set in a roof structure or high in a wall, used for daylighting
- Skylight: a flat or sloped window built into a roof structure for daylighting
- Bay window: a multi-panel window, with at least three panels set at different angles to create a protrusion from the wall line
- Picture window: a very large window in a wall, intended to provide an unimpeded view
- Fixed window: a window which cannot be opened
Meaning of "Window"
The word Window dates back to Old Norse "Wind Eye"; opening to the air.The beam or arch over the top of a window is known as the lintel or transom.
see also: The window cleaner, Windex. =Astronomical Window= In astronomy, an atmosphere can have a window for portions of the electromagnetic spectrum; that is, those wavelengths which pass through the atmosphere are said to "pass through a window".
=World War II= Window was the WWII UK codename for a system intended to confuse German radar. It consisted of huge volumes of aluminium foil strips cut to a length corresponding to the radar wavelength which were dropped from aircraft so producing huge numbers of spurious echoes. A modern corresponding technique is "chaff". Other radar confusing techniques included Mandrel, Piperack and Jostle.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computing, a window is a portion of a computer screen, usually rectangular in shape, showing the output of and allowing input for one of a number of simultaneously running computer processes. The size and position can normally be adjusted, for example covering the whole screen, or half the screen, allowing another non-overlapping window using the other half, etc. Windows are a popular feature (or widget) in several graphical user interfaces. The X Window System and Microsoft Windows are named after this feature.In computer networking, a window is the amount of data that can be transported before a source must give an acknowledgement (ACK) to the sender.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Window functions are applied to avoid discontinuities at the beginning and the end of a set of data. The smaller these discontinuities are, the faster the side slopes drop.The maximum order of derivative which is zero at the ends determines the asymptotic behaviour:
There is an intrinsic trade-off problem between:
- steps in the function itself: asymptotic -6 dB/oct
- continuous function, step in first derivative: -12 dB/oct
- and so on.
and
- width of main slope,
The following windows are normalized for a MDCT on the range of [-1,+1].
- side slope rejection.
- x = -1...+1
- w = (1 + x) pi = 0 ... 2 pi
Non-power-preserving analysis windows
Rectangular windows
Full size window. Actually this is a MDCT without window.
f(x) = 1 for |x| < 1 , 0 otherwise
Sometimes also written as
f(x) = sqrt(1/2) for |x| < 1 , 0 otherwise
Half size window. Actually this is a DCT Type ???
f(x) = 1 for |x| < 1/2 , 0 otherwise
How to add images ??? http://www.uni-jena.de/~pfk/wiki/*.png Image of f(x) and spectral resolution
Triangular (aka Bartlett) window
f(x) = 1 - |x| for |x| < 1, 0 otherwise
Image of f(x) and spectral resolution
Hamming/van Hann window
f(x) = a0 - a1 * cos(w)
van Hann window: a0 = , a1 = hamming window: a0 = , a1 =
Blackman/Blackman Harris windows
f(x) = a0 - a1 * cos(w) + a2 * cos(2w) - a3 * cos(3w)
Blackman: a0 = , a1 = , a2 = , a3 = Blackman Harris: a0 = , a1 = , a2 = , a3 = Blackman Nuttall: a0 = , a1 = , a2 = , a3 =
Bartlett-Hann Window
Mixture of Barlett and van Hann window:
f(x) = a0 - a1 * cos(w) - a2 * |x|
a0 = , a1 = , a2 =
Bessel window
f(x) =
Power-preserving analysis windows
Sine window
f(x) = sin(w/2)
Kaiser-Bessel-derived (KBD) window
For 0 <= x <= 1:
f(x) = Int
For x > 1:
f(x) = 0
For x < 0:
f(x) = f(-x)
(See Kaiser window.)
Other power-preserving windows
Multiple overlap windows
When using FFT or DCT for spectral analysis a sample belongs to oneanalysis window. When using windowing, samples at the boundaries are attenuated.
To reduce the effect that these samples become less important for the result, normally windows are overlapped. So samples between two blocks are attenuated, but they belong to two blocks: their influence is still (nearly) the same as samples which are not attenuated. But it is possible to overlap more than two windows. This typically makes the transition band between main slope and side slopes smaller.
Triple overlapped cosine window
The normal cosine windows do not preserve the power of the signal. Samples which are exactly between two blocks are attenuated by 6 dB, i.e. their power is reduced by a factor of 0.25. The overlapping reduces this to a factor of 0.5.
