Chromaticity
Deutsch: Farbart / Español: Cromaticidad / Português: Cromaticidade / Français: Chromaticité / Italiano: Cromaticità
Chromaticity is a fundamental concept in color science and quality management, describing the qualitative aspect of color independent of its luminance. It defines the hue and saturation of a color, enabling precise communication and standardization in industries where color consistency is critical. This property is essential for ensuring reproducibility in manufacturing, digital imaging, and material testing.
Encipherment
Deutsch: Verschlüsselung / Español: Cifrado / Português: Cifragem / Français: Chiffrement / Italian: Cifratura
Encipherment is a crucial technique in quality management for protecting sensitive information. By transforming readable data into an encoded format, encipherment ensures data confidentiality and integrity. This process is vital for maintaining the security of quality management systems, especially when handling proprietary data, personal information, or compliance-related documents.
Dispersion
Deutsch: Dispersion / Español: Dispersión / Português: Dispersão / Français: Dispersion/ Italiano: Dispersione
The term "dispersion" refers to the spread or variability of data points or measurements within a data set. It provides information about the distribution and consistency of the data, allowing organizations to assess the stability and reliability of their processes. Dispersion measures are used to quantify and analyze the extent to which data points deviate from the central tendency or mean value.
Blast-cleaning
'Blast-cleaning' refers to a method of surface preparation and cleaning that involves the use of high-pressure air or other abrasive materials to remove contaminants, coatings, or surface imperfections from a substrate. It is a widely used technique in various industries to prepare surfaces for further treatment or to achieve a desired level of cleanliness. Blast-cleaning plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and integrity of surfaces, as it helps remove contaminants that could affect the performance, durability, or appearance of a product.
