Noun
  1. A person who is staying or working in a place for only a short time

  2. A momentary variation in current, voltage, or frequency

  1. one who stays for only a short time; "transient laborers"
  2. transeunt: of a mental act; causing effects outside the mind
  3. (physics) a short-lived oscillation in a system caused by a sudden change of voltage or current or load
  4. ephemeral: lasting a very short time; "the ephemeral joys of childhood"; "a passing fancy"; "youth's transient beauty"; "love is transitory but it is eternal"; "fugacious blossoms"
  5. (transiently) for a very short time; "these three pions may actually be joined together transiently as a compound particle during the interchange process"
  6. (transience) brevity: the attribute of being brief or fleeting
  7. In acoustics and audio, a transient is a short-duration signal that represents a non-harmonic attack phase of a musical sound or spoken word. It contains a high degree of non-periodic components and a higher magnitude of high frequencies than the harmonic content of that sound. ...
  8. In civil engineering, a transient is used to refer to any pressure wave that is short lived (i.e. not static pressure or pressure differential due to friction/minor loss in flow). The most common occurrence of this is called water hammer. ...
  9. In the Java programming language, transient is a keyword used as a field modifier. When a field is declared transient, it would not be serialized even if the class to which it belongs is serialized. In Java, methods, classes and interfaces cannot be declared as transient.
  10. (Transients) Homelessness is the condition and social category of people without a regular house or dwelling because they cannot afford, do not desire, or are otherwise unable to maintain regular, safe, and adequate housing, or lack "fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. ...
  11. (Transience (short story by Arthur Clarke)) "Transience" is a short story by Arthur C. Clarke.
  12. Something which is transient; A transient phenomenon, especially an electric current; a very brief surge; A relatively loud, non-repeating signal in an audio waveform which occurs very quickly, such as the attack of a snare drum; A person who passes through a place for a short time; a ...
  13. (transientness) The state of being transient
  14. (transients) High voltage surges through an electrical system caused by lightning strikes to nearby transformers, overhead lines or the ground. May also be caused by switching of motors or compressors, as well as by short circuits or utility system switching. Can lead to premature ballast failure.
  15. (Transients) Signals which exist for a brief period of time prior to the attainment of a steady-state condition. These may include overshoots, damped sinusoidal waves, etc.
  16. (Transients (Spikes/Surges)) Momentary voltage changes that bleed the signals from one wire pair to another pair. Causes slow transfer and blocks the transfer of data signals within the cable. ...
  17. (Transients) A non-repeating sound (such as percussion in music) or an abrupt change of signal voltage. How a speaker handles transients is a good indicator of its performance.
  18. (Transients) Electrical surges or spikes conducted through power or data lines. Transients are typically generated as electrical devices are turned on or off. See: Suppression.
  19. (Transients) High voltage spikes superimposed on the mains power. They can cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment.
  20. (Transients) Instabilities present in the oscillation pattern of a physical object that is set into vibration before the object settles into a stable oscillation. Also called attack transients (see amplitude envelope). ...
  21. (Transients) Instantaneous changes in dynamics, producing steep wave fronts.
  22. (Transients) Signals that only occur once in during the monitoring.
  23. (Transients) the sporadic higher levels in your program (from a percussion or guitar attack, for example) that can result in overload distortion if not properly compressed
  24. (transience) the common characteristic of things which come and go or change with time.
  25. A response, or behavior, of a time series that is heavily dependent on the initial conditions chosen to begin a recursive calculation. The transient response is typically undesirable, and initially masks the true steady-state behavior of the process of interest.
