Tech/Engineering - Mathematics & Statistics
English term or phrase: haversine
O termo surge no seguinte contexto:

Programming sensitivity to a less sensitive setting (ie, a higher value) always results in the pacemaker becoming less sensitive to intrinsic signals, and conversely, programming to a more sensitive setting always results in the pacemaker becoming more sensitive. Tolerance with a 25Hz haversine test signal is +40% (0.15 mV is +50%). Levels using the CENELEC test signal are higher by a factor of 1.2 with the same tolerance.

Desde já agradeço qualquer "luz" :)

semi-seno-verso
Explanation:
Conforme http://www.dhn.mar.mil.br/bhm/publicacao/download/apcap17.pd...
"O semi-seno-verso (ssv) é empregado na solução do triângulo de posição em várias Tábuas para Navegação Astronômica. Em inglês, é denominado haversine (hav)."
Eu ficaria com a tradução acima, que demonstra uso prático, mas apenas para complementar:
No Fürstenau: haverseno, metade do verseno.
No Antas: semi-seno reverso.

Explanation:
What is a Haversine?
A haversine is simply an inverted cosine offset by half its amplitude. A continuous haversine would look like a sine wave.
