  2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

  3. Capability curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

    Capability curve of an electrical generator describes the limits of the active and reactive power that the generator can provide. The curve represents a boundary of all operating points in the MW/MVAr plane; it is typically drawn with the real power on the horizontal axis, and, for the synchronous generator , resembles a letter D in shape, thus ...

  4. Minimum bounding rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_rectangle

    A series of geometric shapes enclosed by its minimum bounding rectangle. In computational geometry, the minimum bounding rectangle (MBR), also known as bounding box (BBOX) or envelope, is an expression of the maximum extents of a two-dimensional object (e.g. point, line, polygon) or set of objects within its x-y coordinate system; in other words min(x), max(x), min(y), max(y).

  5. Maximum length sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_length_sequence

    A maximum length sequence (MLS) is a type of pseudorandom binary sequence.. They are bit sequences generated using maximal linear-feedback shift registers and are so called because they are periodic and reproduce every binary sequence (except the zero vector) that can be represented by the shift registers (i.e., for length-m registers they produce a sequence of length 2 m − 1).

  6. Line length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length

    In typography, line length is the width of a block of typeset text, usually measured in units of length like inches or points or in characters per line (in which case it is a measure). A block of text or paragraph has a maximum line length that fits a determined design. If the lines are too short then the text becomes disjointed; if they are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    In this case, the equation governing the beam's deflection can be approximated as: = () where the second derivative of its deflected shape with respect to (being the horizontal position along the length of the beam) is interpreted as its curvature, is the Young's modulus, is the area moment of inertia of the cross-section, and is the internal ...

  8. RS-422 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-422

    Data rate versus line length chart, from RS-422 Annex A.1. Several key advantages offered by this standard include the differential receiver, a differential driver and data rates as high as 10 megabits per second at 12 meters (40 ft). Since the signal quality degrades with cable length, the maximum data rate decreases as cable length increases.

  9. Run-length limited - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_limited

    Generally run length is the number of bits for which signal remains unchanged. A run length of 3 for bit 1, represents a sequence 111. A run length of 3 for bit 1, represents a sequence 111. For instance, the pattern of magnetic polarizations on the disk might be +−−−−++−−−++++++, with runs of length 1, 4, 2, 3, and 6.
