  • Gating (electrophysiology)
    Gating (electrophysiology)
    In electrophysiology, the term gating refers to the opening or closing of ion channels.When ion channels are in a 'closed' state, they are impermeable to ions and do not conduct electrical current...

    , the opening (activation) or closing (deactivation) of ion channels
  • Sensory gating
    Sensory gating
    Sensory gating describes neurological processes of filtering out redundant or unnecessary stimuli in the brain from all possible environmental stimuli. Also referred to as filtering, or sensorimotor gating, sensory gating prevents an overload of irrelevant information in the higher cortical...

    , an automatic process by which the brain adjusts to stimuli
  • Synaptic gating
    Synaptic gating
    Synaptic gating is the ability of neural circuits to gate inputs by either suppressing or facilitating specific synaptic activity. Selective inhibition of certain synapses has been studied thoroughly , and recent studies have supported the existence of permissively gated synaptic transmission...

    , neural circuits suppressing inputs through synapses

  • Clock gating
    Clock gating
    Clock gating is a power-saving technique used in many synchronous circuits-Description:Clock gating is a popular technique used in many synchronous circuits for reducing dynamic power dissipation. Clock gating saves power by adding more logic to a circuit to prune the clock tree...

    , a power-saving techniques used in synchronous circuits
  • Power gating
    Power gating
    This technique uses high Vt sleep transistors which cut off VDD from a circuit block when the block is not switching. The sleep transistor sizing is an important design parameter. This technique, also known as MTCMOS, or Multi-Threshold CMOS reduces stand-by or leakage power, and also enables Iddq...

    , a power-saving technique for circuits
  • Gating (telecommunication)
    Gating (telecommunication)
    In telecommunication, the term gating has the following meanings:1. The process of selecting only those portions of a wave between specified time intervals or between specified amplitude limits....

    , a process of selectively modifying signals
  • Gating (sound engineering)
    Gating (sound engineering)
    Gating is used in sound engineering with oscilloscopes, analog signal processing and more specifically audio signal processing.-External links:* *...

    , a term in audio signal processing
  • Frequency-resolved optical gating
    Frequency-resolved optical gating
    In optics, frequency-resolved optical gating is a derivative of autocorrelation, but is far superior in its ability to measure ultrafast optical pulse shapes...

    , a term related to autocorrelation in optics
  • Gating signal
    Gating signal
    A digital signal or pulse that provides a time window so that a particular event or signal from among many will be selected and others will be eliminated or discarded....

    , a signal that provides a time window
  • Gating system metalwork, a process in casting

  • gating (punishment)
    Gating (punishment)
    Gating is a type of punishment similar to a detention used typically at educational institutions, especially boarding schools. Precisely what a gating consists of and the rules surrounding it will vary between institutions, but the common element is that someone who has been gated is not permitted...

    , a form of punishment used in educational establishments
