Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples include a swinging pendulum and AC power. ...
In a cellular automaton, an oscillator is a pattern that returns to its original state, in the same orientation and position, after a finite number of generations. Thus the evolution of such a pattern repeats itself indefinitely. Depending on context, the term may also include spaceships as well.
Oscillator is an EP by Information Society. It was their first new commercial release after a six year hiatus.
An oscillator is a technical analysis indicator that varies over time within a band (above and below a center line, or between set levels). Oscillators are used to discover short-term overbought or oversold conditions.
(Oscillators) quantitative method that distinguishes between overbought and oversold conditions.
(Oscillators) In layman's terms, oscillators are based on the principle that prices are likely to "consolidate" or "regroup" after a sustained run either up or down. ...
(Oscillators) Device used to establish a reference frequency used for timing purposes. A typical application is the sequencing of events for a computer.
(Oscillators) The general term for a device that generates alternating patterns. (MACD, ADX)
