Standard Terminology Relating to Amusement Rides and Devices
SCOPE
1.1 This terminology is a repository of terms approved by Committee F24 and its subcommittees. Reproducing terms approved within all other individual F24 standards and guides, this terminology will provide a single location where terms related to amusement rides and devices are freely accessible to the public, committee members and can be maintained, updated and utilized as effective communication tools. Although published alphabetically, terms unique to a specific F24 standard or guide are indicated as such by the reference which follows the applicable term.
1.2 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

aliasing—a phenomenon associated with sampled data systems, wherein a signal containing significant energy at frequencies
greater than one half of the system sample frequency manifests itself in the sampled data as a lower frequency (aliased) signal.
Aliasing can be avoided only by limiting the frequency content of the signal prior to the sampling process. Once a signal has
been aliased, it is not possible to reconstruct the original signal from the sampled data.
