  2. Cardinal direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_direction

    Direction determination refers to the ways in which a cardinal direction or compass point can be determined in navigation and wayfinding.The most direct method is using a compass (magnetic compass or gyrocompass), but indirect methods exist, based on the Sun path (unaided or by using a watch or sundial), the stars, and satellite navigation.

  3. Quad chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad_chart

    A quad chart is a form of technical documentation used to briefly describe an invention or other innovation through writing, illustration and/or photographs. [1] Such documents are described as "quad" charts because they are divided into four quadrants laid out on a landscape perspective.

  4. Hermann–Mauguin notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann–Mauguin_notation

    The direction of a symmetry element corresponds to its position in the Hermann–Mauguin symbol. If a rotation axis n and a mirror plane m have the same direction, then they are denoted as a fraction ⁠ n / m ⁠ or n /m. If two or more axes have the same direction, the axis with higher symmetry is shown.

  5. Points of the compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points_of_the_compass

    32-point compass rose. The points of the compass are a set of horizontal, radially arrayed compass directions (or azimuths) used in navigation and cartography.A compass rose is primarily composed of four cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—each separated by 90 degrees, and secondarily divided by four ordinal (intercardinal) directions—northeast, southeast, southwest, and ...

  6. Directional statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics

    Directional statistics (also circular statistics or spherical statistics) is the subdiscipline of statistics that deals with directions (unit vectors in Euclidean space, R n), axes (lines through the origin in R n) or rotations in R n.

  7. Secondary research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_research

    Secondary research involves the summary, collation and/or synthesis of existing research. Secondary research is contrasted with primary research in that primary research involves the generation of data, whereas secondary research uses primary research sources as a source of data for analysis. [1] A notable marker of primary research is the ...

  8. Control chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_chart

    Control charts are graphical plots used in production control to determine whether quality and manufacturing processes are being controlled under stable conditions. (ISO 7870-1) [1] The hourly status is arranged on the graph, and the occurrence of abnormalities is judged based on the presence of data that differs from the conventional trend or deviates from the control limit line.

    In this case two delays will be measured, one the difference between the primary and secondary "A", and the other between the primary and secondary "B". By looking up both delay curves on the chart, two intersections will be found, and one of these can be selected as the likely location of the receiver.
