  2. Home safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_safety

    Falling accidents at home are very common and can cause serious and life-threatening injuries, so prevention of slip and trip accidents is essential in the good design of living quarters. This objective is especially important for the elderly and disabled, who may have restricted movement and be more susceptible to hazards .

  3. Decibel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

    The decibel originates from methods used to quantify signal loss in telegraph and telephone circuits. Until the mid-1920s, the unit for loss was miles of standard cable (MSC). 1 MSC corresponded to the loss of power over one mile (approximately 1.6 km) of standard telephone cable at a frequency of 5000 radians per second (795.8 Hz), and matched closely the smallest attenuation detectable to a ...

    Comparison of SWG (red), AWG (blue) and IEC 60228 (black) wire gauge sizes from 0.03 to 200 mm² to scale on a 1 mm grid – in the SVG file, hover over a size to highlight it. In engineering applications, it is often most convenient to describe a wire in terms of its cross-section area, rather than its diameter, because the cross section is directly proportional to its strength and weight ...

    In statistical quality control, the individual/moving-range chart is a type of control chart used to monitor variables data from a business or industrial process for which it is impractical to use rational subgroups. [1] The chart is necessary in the following situations: [2]: 231

    Standard sizes are from 250 to 400 in increments of 50 kcmil, 400 to 1000 in increments of 100 kcmil, and from 1000 to 2000 in increments of 250 kcmil. [ 6 ] The diameter in the table below is that of a solid rod with the given conductor area in circular mils.

  7. u-chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-chart

    The control limits for this chart type are ¯ ¯ where ¯ is the estimate of the long-term process mean established during control-chart setup. The observations u i = x i n i {\displaystyle u_{i}={\frac {x_{i}}{n_{i}}}} are plotted against these control limits, where x i is the number of nonconformities for the ith subgroup and n i is the ...

    Elevation view of the Panthéon, Paris principal façade Floor plans of the Putnam House. A house plan [1] is a set of construction or working drawings (sometimes called blueprints) that define all the construction specifications of a residential house such as the dimensions, materials, layouts, installation methods and techniques.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_chart

    A bubble chart is a type of chart that displays three dimensions of data. Each entity with its triplet ( v 1 , v 2 , v 3 ) of associated data is plotted as a disk that expresses two of the v i values through the disk's xy location and the third through its size.
