In telecommunications, squelch is a circuit function that acts to suppress the audio (or video) output of a receiver in the absence of a sufficiently strong desired input signal. carrier squelch is unlocked and will let any signal in. Selective calling locks out all signals except ones with the correct code. In non-critical uses, selective calling can also be used to hide the presence of interfering signals such as receiver-produced intermodulation.
The medical name for squint is strabismus. It is a condition where the eyes do not look in the same direction. Whilst one eye looks forwards to focus on an object, the other eye turns either inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards. Most squints occur in young children.
