  2. Waveform graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform_graphics

    Text and graphics could be mixed, and there were additional tools for drawing axes and markers. The waveform graphics system was used only for a short period of time before it was replaced by the more sophisticated ReGIS system, first introduced on the VT125 in 1981. [1] ReGIS allowed the construction of arbitrary vectors and other shapes.

  3. Computer representation of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_representation_of...

    A surface may be composed of one or more patches, where each patch has its own U-V coordinate system. These surface patches are analogous to the multiple polynomial arcs used to build a spline. They allow more complex surfaces to be represented by a series of relatively simple equation sets rather than a single set of complex equations.

  5. Surface wave inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_wave_inversion

    Surface-wave inversion is the method by which elastic properties, density, and thickness of layers in the subsurface are obtained through analysis of surface-wave dispersion. [2] The entire inversion process requires the gathering of seismic data, the creation of dispersion curves, and finally the inference of subsurface properties.

  6. Common Entrance Examination for Design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Entrance...

    Part A is a preliminary screening test. There are about 50 questions in this part having negative marking. Correct answers carry +2.0 marks and wrong answers carry -0.5 marks (negative). Each question in this part checks general knowledge and awareness. Part B is evaluated for those candidates who are short listed in the screening test (Part A).

  7. SGI Onyx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_Onyx

    The Onyx's basic system architecture is based on the SGI Challenge servers, but with graphics hardware. The Onyx was employed in early 1995 for development kits used to produce software for the Nintendo 64 and, because the technology was so new, the Onyx was noted as the major factor for the impressively high price of US$100,000 [ 1 ] – US ...

  8. Surface equivalence principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_equivalence_principle

    In electromagnetism, surface equivalence principle or surface equivalence theorem relates an arbitrary current distribution within an imaginary closed surface with an equivalent source on the surface. It is also known as field equivalence principle, [1] Huygens' equivalence principle [2] or simply as the equivalence principle. [3]

  9. IBM Monochrome Display Adapter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Monochrome_Display_Adapter

    The MDA was based on the IBM System/23 Datamaster's display system, [2] and was intended to support business and word processing use with its sharp, high-resolution characters. Each character is rendered in a box of 9 × 14 pixels , of which 7 × 11 depicts the character itself and the other pixels provide space between character columns and lines.
