English to Norwegian: Guitar/Chord Progressions
General field: Other
Detailed field: Music
Source text - English
A knowledge of chord progressions will help you communicate and play with other musicians. It is a must for participating in any kind of jam session. Knowing the most commonly used chord progressions and forms allows for greater enjoyment and unity when playing with other musicians.

Most songs use three or more chords though some songs exist that only use two chords. Often musicians will embellish chords by adding or removing notes and to provide further interest may vary the rhythm. One chord "structures" are uncommon but they do exist. For instance, Frere Jacques is a one-chord song because it can be played against a single major chord. The melody "Taps", traditionally used at American military funerals, and which is very evocative, consists only of the notes which comprise the C-major chord (C, E, G).

One chord songs are rare on guitar. The most common chord progression is the I-IV-V. Note that Roman Numerals are used to describe these chord progressions. Many songs use only these three chords.

If one views chords as a set of balancing scales with the root note and octave root at opposing ends it will be noted that the IV and V chords are at equal distance respectively to the root and octave root.

Take for example the key of C major: C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C. You will see that the G note (or chord) is a fifth above the root note. The note F is a fifth below the octave. This movement of a fifth is very pleasing to the human ear in its sense of balance and cohesion in relation to the root note.

Another way to view chord progressions is that of a journey. In the sense that the root (or tonic) chord is the starting point and the octave root is at the end. All other points (chords) provide interest and variation with the fourth and the fifth chord occupying a special place on the journey due to them being half-way.

Many chord progressions start at the tonic (I), moves away to somewhere else, only to come back to the tonic. You can play this progression with major chords or you can substitute minor chords for the IV or V.

Kunnskap om akkordprogresjoner hjelper deg å spille sammen med andre musikere. Det er nødvendig for å være med i hvilken som helst jamsession. Å kunne de vanligste akkordprogresjonene og varianter gir mulighet for større glede og enhet når man spiller med andre musikere.

De fleste sanger bruker tre eller flere akkorder, men det finnes også sanger med bare to akkorder. Mange musikere pynter på akkorder ved å legge til eller fjerne toner, og for å gjøre det ennå mer interessant kan de også variere på rytmen. «Enakkordsstrukturer» er uvanlige, men de finnes. For eksempel er Frere Jacques en sang med bare en akkord, fordi den kan spilles med bare en dur-akkord. Den stemningsfulle melodien «Taps», som er vanlig å bruke i Amerikanske militærbegravelser, består bare av tonene som danner akkorden C-dur (C, E, G).

Enakkordssanger på gitar er sjeldne. Den vanligste akkordprogresjonen er I-IV-V. Legg merke til at det bruker romertall for å beskrive disse akkordprogresjonene. Mange sanger bruker bare disse tre akkordene.

Hvis man ser på akkordene som et sett balanserende vekter med grunntonen i midten og oktavtonen på hver side, så er IV- og V-akkordene like langt fra bunntonen

Ta for eksempel C-dur: C - D - E - F - G - A - H – C. Her vil du se at tonen G (eller akkorden) er nummer fem over grunntonen. Tonen F er nummer fem under oktaven. Bevegelser i kvintavstand oppleves harmonisk for menneskets øre på grunn av balansen og samklangen med grunntonen.

Akkordprogresjoner kan også sees på som en reise. Ser man på grunntonen som reisens start, bilr oktaven reisens slutt. Alle andre punkt (akkorder) skaper interesse og variasjon, med den fjerde og femte tonen som reisens høydepunkt på grunn av deres plassering i midten.

Mange akkordprogresjoner starter med skala-tonen (I), forflytter seg til andre steder, for så å komme tilbake til skala-tonen. Du kan spille overgangen i dur-akkorder eller du kan erstatte IV eller V med moll-akkorder.

English to Norwegian: Choosing The Right File Format/Raster Images
General field: Other
Detailed field: Computers: Software
Source text - English
Most of your images are probably raster graphics, as vector graphics are less common.

Although there are hundreds of formats to choose from two of the most popular are GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) and TIFF (Tagged Image File Format).


Unfortunately these have been caught up in legal issues since 1994 over a Unisys patent on the LZW compression algorithm which both formats use.


These patents have now expired although there is still an IBM patent valid until August 2006.

Thus the GIF and TIFF formats do not currently meet the requirement of being 'free from legal restriction in their use'.

The lossless PNG (Portable Network Graphic) format replaces GIF and has many advantages in quality, size and options (but lacks animation).


Most importantly the PNG format is patent free and has been a W3C Recommendation and ISO Standard since 2003.

Another popular format for raster graphics is the lossy JPEG/JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format, which is specially suited to storing photographic images.

Translation - Norwegian
De fleste av bildene dine er mest sannsynlig punktgrafikk, fordi vektorgrafikk er mindre vanlig.

Selv om det finnes hundrevis av formater å velge mellom, så er to av de mest populære GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) og TIFF (Tagged Image File Format).

Dessverre har de to formatene vært sentrum for rettslige konflikter siden 1994, grunnet en Usisys-patent på komprimeringsalgoritmen LZW, som begge formatene bruker.

Patentene er nå utgått, bortsett fra at IBM fremdeles har en gyldig patent frem til august 2026.

Derfor møter ikke GIF- og TIFF-formatene foreløpig kravene om at man må være «fri fra rettslige restriksjoner i deres bruk».

PNG- formatet (Portable Network Graphic), som ikke taper data fra filen) erstatter GIF og har mange fordeler både i bruk, størrelse og muligheter (men det mangler animasjon).

Det viktigste er at PNG ikke er belastet med patentrestriksjoner og har vært anbefalt av W3C og standard i ISO siden 2003.

Et annet format for punktgrafikk er et format, der man mister en mye tilhørende data, er JPEG/JPG- formatet (Joint Photographic Experts Group), som er spesielt egnet for lagring av bilder.
