    A time-domain reflectometer; an instrument used to locate the position of faults on lines from the time taken for a reflected wave to return from the discontinuity..

Homeric lines more commonly employ feminine caesurae; this preference is observed to an even higher degree among the Alexandrian poets. [3] An example of a feminine caesura is the opening line of the Odyssey:

    One of the two uses the symmetry axis as one of the two perpendicular lines, while the other has two lines of slope , each crossing the base and one side. [1] This subdivision of a triangle is a special case of a theorem of Richard Courant and Herbert Robbins that any plane area can be subdivided into four equal parts by two perpendicular lines ...

In text display, line wrap is continuing on a new line when a line is full, so that each line fits into the viewable window, allowing text to be read from top to bottom ...
