[TenTec] new emissions rules

Yep, back in 1949 partition noise was defined as an instantanious shift in the relative currents in the elements of a vacuum tube. Circa 1963 anologous shifts in current flow occuring in solid state devices were detected as well. 

It matters not whether it's partitioning between a grid and plate or base and collector, random or quasi-random shifts in the current drawn from a current source (cathode or emitter) and the active current sinking elements (grids/base-plate/collector) still occur - and are still called partition noise.
