expert subject multiple Philosophy Linguistics date February 2010 In rhetoric, amplification refers to the act and the means of extending thoughts or statements to increase rhetorical effect, to add importance, or to make the most of a thought or circumstance. While amplification can refer to exaggeration or stylistic vices figures of excess and superfluity such as hyperbole as a means for developing multiple forms of expression for a thought, amplification names an important point of intersection where figures of speech and figures of thought coalesce. ref http rhetoric.byu.edu Silva Rhetoricae ref As arrangement As arrangement, amplification involves identifying parts of a whole text as a process division where each part may be subject to strategies of amplification. As such a process, amplification is a set of strategies that together constitute the classical canon of discovery or invention of rhetorical arguments.

orphan date November 2009 In structural engineering the amplification factor is the ratio of second order to first order deflection engineering deflections . The amplification factor, also called gain , is the extent to which an analog amplifier boosts the strength of a signal. In calculations this is represented by the symbol A sub F sub In numerical analysis the amplification factor is a number derived using Von Neumann stability analysis to determine stability of a numerical scheme for a partial differential equation .

Laney Amplification is a United Kingdom British brand of guitar bass guitar amplifiers and cabinets, and also public address systems. History Image laney gh50l.jpg right thumb Laney GH50L with 4x12 cabinet Laney Amplification officially began on September 1st, 1967. As a bassist playing the local circuits with the likes of Robert Plant and John Bonham , Lyndon Laney decided to turn his hand to building amplifiers for friends in his parents garden shed. Some of Lyndon s first customers were local Birmingham based guitar players such as Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath who remains loyal to Laney to this day. Many of the first Laney amplifiers ever built are still around and in use, slowly becoming as revered as other vintage amplifiers by Marshall Amplification Marshall and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Fender for their pure valve driven tone. The late 1960s early 1970s range consisted of a small number of amplifiers, but with a dedicated following. The original LA100BL all valve model was the choice of many players wanting a more heavy metal guitar sound than other popular amplifiers. Laney also created a series of amplifiers known as KLIPP, which featured a built in treble booster similar to the Dallas Rangemaster. KLIPP amps offer excellent versatility and durability, and are sought ... retaining a natural all valve tone became the driving force behind Laney s 1980s range of amplification ... a pure signal path.

Raman amplification IPAc en icon r m n ref OED Raman ref is based on the Stimulated Raman scattering Raman Scattering SRS phenomenon, when a lower frequency signal photon induces the inelastic scattering of a higher frequency pump photon in an optical medium in the nonlinear regime. As a result of this, another signal photon is produced, with the surplus energy resonantly passed to the vibrational states of the medium. This process, as with other stimulated emission processes, allows all optical amplification. Optical fiber is today mostly used as the nonlinear medium for SRS, for Telecommunication telecom purposes in this case it is characterized by a resonance frequency downshift of 11 THz corresponding to a wavelength shift at 1550 nm of 90 nm . The SRS amplification process can be readily cascaded, thus accessing essentially any wavelength in the fiber low loss guiding windows both 1300 and 1550 . In addition to applications in nonlinear and ultrafast optics, Raman amplification is used in optical telecommunications , allowing all band wavelength coverage and in line distributed signal amplification.

Cyborg Intelligence amplification IA also referred to as cognitive augmentation and machine augmented intelligence refers to the effective use of information technology in augmenting human intelligence . The idea was first proposed in the 1950s and 1960s by cybernetics and early computer pioneer s. IA is sometimes contrasted with AI Artificial Intelligence , that is, the project of building a human like intelligence in the form of an autonomous technological system such as a computer or robot. AI has encountered many fundamental obstacles, practical as well as theoretical, which for IA seem moot, as it needs technology merely as an extra support for an autonomous intelligence that has already proven to function. Moreover, IA has a long history of success, since all forms of information technology, from the abacus to writing to the Internet, have been developed basically to extend the information processing capabilities of the human mind see extended mind and distributed cognition . Major contributions William Ross Ashby Intelligence Amplification The term intelligence amplification IA has enjoyed a wide currency since William Ross Ashby wrote of amplifying intelligence in his Introduction to Cybernetics 1956 .

History Trace Allen Davis businessman Trace Allen Davis first went into business in the mid 1990s with a small shop in Ithaca, New York, repairing and modifying production guitar amps with his own custom circuits. In time, his high gain circuit mods became in such high demand by guitar players that production line amplifiers based on these custom circuits were released. Voodoo Amps are hand wired, point to point circuits. As such, their amps are often cited among those brands of high end guitar amplifiers termed boutique amplifiers. The company backs their commitment to outstanding tone with rock solid customer service.
