    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    Let be a metric space with distance function .Let be a set of indices and let () be a tuple (indexed collection) of nonempty subsets (the sites) in the space .The Voronoi cell, or Voronoi region, , associated with the site is the set of all points in whose distance to is not greater than their distance to the other sites , where is any index different from .

  3. Vaneless ion wind generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaneless_ion_wind_generator

    The center of the circular building is reserved for wind power generation through the use of a large-scale ion wind generator based on the EWICON implementation. The efficiency and power generation of the system at such a scale is not known, but the Dutch Windwheel Corp. expects the building to generate more energy than it consumes.

  4. 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.

  5. Free-piston linear generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_linear_generator

    The free-piston linear generator (FPLG) uses chemical energy from fuel to drive magnets through a stator and converts this linear motion into electric energy. Because of its versatility, low weight and high efficiency, it can be used in a wide range of applications, although it is of special interest to the mobility industry as range extenders for electric vehicles.

  6. Function generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator

    In electrical engineering, a function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave , square wave , triangular wave and sawtooth shapes .

  7. Marx generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

    A Marx generator is an electrical circuit first described by Erwin Otto Marx in 1924. [1] Its purpose is to generate a high- voltage pulse from a low-voltage DC supply. Marx generators are used in high-energy physics experiments, as well as to simulate the effects of lightning on power-line gear and aviation equipment.

  8. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Therefore, leakage from the terminal determines the maximum voltage attainable. In the Van de Graaff generator, the belt allows the transport of charge into the interior of a large hollow spherical electrode. This is the ideal shape to minimize leakage and corona discharge, so the Van de Graaff generator can produce the greatest voltage.

  9. Flex (lexical analyser generator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flex_(lexical_analyser...

    Flex (fast lexical analyzer generator) is a free and open-source software alternative to lex. [2] It is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers (also known as "scanners" or "lexers").
