  2. Continued fraction (non-simple) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction_(non...

    For the folded general continued fractions of both expressions, the rate convergence μ = (3 − √ 8) 2 = 17 − √ 288 ≈ 0.02943725, hence ⁠ 1 / μ ⁠ = (3 + √ 8) 2 = 17 + √ 288 ≈ 33.97056, whose common logarithm is 1.531... ≈ ⁠ 26 / 17 ⁠ > ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, thus adding at least three digits per two terms. This is because the ...

    The development of the 'Tessar' lens is discussed by Nasse, [11] and shows its transformation from an f /6.3 lens for plate cameras using the original three-group configuration through to an f /2.8 5.2 mm four-element optic with eight extremely aspheric surfaces, economically manufacturable because of its small size. Its performance is 'better ...

    Gauge factor. Gauge factor (GF) or strain factor of a strain gauge is the ratio of relative change in electrical resistance R, to the mechanical strain ε. The gauge factor is defined as: [1] where. ε = strain =. Δ L / L 0 {\displaystyle \Delta L/L_ {0}} Δ L {\displaystyle \Delta L} = absolute change in length.
