“He gave me a small wave to indicate that he was ready.”

“By the early twentieth century, a new wave of success was beginning to make its presence felt in various guises.”

“Now it's been advanced to make hair curl to your desired waviness.”

“I cut out another wave, pleased with the way I had captured a few tendrils of waviness at the end of it.”

“So in other words, it's permanently a horrendous mix of straightness and waviness.”

“Most transient signals, which are exponentially damped sinusoids, cannot be wavelet basis functions because of their nonzero mean.”

“The wavelet transform is designed to produce the best image possible given the bandwidth of the medium of transmission.”

“It is formulated on a scaling function or low-pass filter and a wavelet function or high-pass filter.”

“Quietly, against the gentle sound of wavelets hitting the sleeping island, someone could be heard sobbing.”

“Minutes later, we're leaping joyfully across a bay of sparkling wavelets towards a headland crowned with the ruins of a pirate castle.”

“After our eyes adjust, we find the walls to be a gorgeous translucent blue, the surface scalloped into smooth, symmetrical wavelets.”

“At sunset, I lounge in my four-poster bed and watch as the waves wash onto the rocks.”
