  2. Electronics or software that separates unwanted signals (for example noise) from wanted signals or that attenuates selected frequencies.

  4. A non-empty upper set (of a partially ordered set) which is closed under binary infima (a.k.a. meets).
    The collection of cofinite subsets of ℝ is a filter under inclusion: it includes the intersection of every pair of its members, and includes every superset of every cofinite set.
    If (1) the universal set (here, the set of natural numbers) were called a "large" set, (2) the superset of any "large" set were also a "large" set, and (3) the intersection of a pair of "large" sets were also a "large" set, then the set of all "large" sets would form a filter.

Verb

  1. To sort, sift, or isolate.
  2. To diffuse; to cause to be less concentrated or focused.
  3. To pass through a filter or to act as though passing through a filter.
  4. To move slowly or gradually; to come or go a few at a time.
  5. To ride a motorcycle between lanes on a road
