lossy

It's a hybrid of lossless and lossy compression - text, lines, and single color blocks use lossless compression, and photos and other complex images use 'lossy' compression.

Now, however, a new generation of polymers that manufacturers say are less 'lossy' and more robust are making their way into components, thus opening up new ways to make modulators, switches, and attenuators.

Something like JPEG or MP3 compression IS 'lossy' .

MP3 compression is 'lossy' , meaning that it removes information from the signal.

Distortion is a numerical measure of the difference between the original image and its reproduction, after 'lossy' compression.

Note that this behavior is in complete agreement with fundamental physical laws because the material is both dispersive and 'lossy' ; thus, the energy velocity is not superluminal.

Again, the agreement between the full wave and quasi-static calculations is due to the use of equations 4 and 5 to find the surface impedance of the 'lossy' semiconductor layer.

In a 'lossy' transmission line model, the resistance, capacitance and inductance are distributed over the line length.

Well, sometimes transformers and other magneto/coil devices can get into a hysteresis loop, which causes 'lossy' power.

Virtually all 'lossy' compression schemes, whether for audio or video, work by a principle called ‘perceptual coding.’
