Signal processing

A comb filter: a filter whose frequency response is a series of regularly spaced notches/peaks from adding a delayed copy of a signal.

In signal processing, comb refers to a comb filter: a filter whose frequency response is a series of regularly spaced notches/peaks from adding a delayed copy of a signal. This meaning comes from Smith (2007) in Introduction to digital filters: With audio applications. Here comb is not the sheet of hexagonal wax cells (honeycomb) bees build to store brood and honey; nor combing: aligning and separating long fibres from short to make a smooth worsted sliver.[1]

Unit
filter / spectrum
Recovery means
impulse-response or transfer-function analysis
Measured by
notch spacing; depth

Textile processing

Combing: aligning and separating long fibres from short to make a smooth worsted sliver.

In textile processing, comb refers to Combing: aligning and separating long fibres from short to make a smooth worsted sliver. This meaning comes from Lord (2003) in Handbook of yarn production. Here comb is not the sheet of hexagonal wax cells (honeycomb) bees build to store brood and honey; nor a comb filter: a filter whose frequency response is a series of regularly spaced notches/peaks from adding a delayed copy of a signal.[2]

Unit
fibre sliver
Recovery means
drawn through combs/pins
Measured by
noil removed; fibre alignment
