win·dow width

the range of CT numbers (in Hounsfield units) included in the gray scale video display of the CT image, ranging from 1 to 2000 or 3000, depending on the type of machine. Also, the range of electromagnetic energies passed by an electronic screening module of an imaging device, as by a scintillation camera.

But, STFT also has the limitation of fixed window width chosen apriority and this causes limitations for low-frequency and high-frequency non-stationary signals analysis at the same time, the location on the time series may be lost or incorrect [10].

The 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), for example, requires that general lighting in daylighted areas adjacent to windows--measuring window width plus 2 ft on each side, and 15-ft deep--must be controlled separately from other general lighting in the space, imposing an additional control zone and limiting its size to the size of the daylight zone.
The lighting control zone
Drapes are similar to screen shadings, except that the drapery fabric may be folded or pleated along the window width, hence forming open vertical pockets of air.
