The eagle who tormented Prometheus, Aethon, was the child of the monsters Typhon and Echidna. [3] In English, aithôn may be written Aethon, Aithon or Ethon. [4] In Greek and Roman mythology there are a number of characters known as Aethon. Most are horses, variously belonging to: Helios [5] Ares [6] Hector [7] Pallas [8] Hades
The concept of a coarsely-ruled grating used at grazing angles was discovered by Albert Michelson in 1898, [1] where he referred to it as an "echelon". However, it was not until 1923 that echelle spectrometers began to take on their characteristic form, in which the high-resolution grating is used in tandem with a crossed low-dispersion grating.
Erysichthon was the son of King Triopas [3] possibly by Hiscilla, daughter of Myrmidon and thus, brother of Iphimedeia [4] and Phorbas. [5]In some accounts, however, he was called instead the son of Myrmidon [6] possibly by Peisidice, daughter of Aeolus and Enarete, and thus, brother to Antiphus, Actor, [7] Dioplethes, [8] Eupolemeia [9] and possibly Hiscilla as well.
The eagle that ate Prometheus' liver was not named Aethon. The word is simply an epithet applied to the eagle meaning "tawny," "fiery" or the like: "The shining eagle which was eating out the heart of Prometheus he killed with arrows," according to Mary Grant's translation at [1] Since aethon is a loan-word from Greek, consider also the mention ...
It depicts Aethon, Eous, Phlegon, and Pyrois - the four horses of Helios, Greek god of the sun. [ 1 ] The sculpture was installed in 1991 in a fountain under a canopy at the base of the building at 1 Jermyn Street , on the corner where Piccadilly meets Haymarket , near Piccadilly Circus in London.

The term echelon comes from the French échelon ("level" or step of a ladder), and refers to the fact that the nonzero entries of a matrix in row echelon form look like an inverted staircase. For square matrices , an upper triangular matrix with nonzero entries on the diagonal is in row echelon form, and a matrix in row echelon form is (weakly ...
Using row operations to convert a matrix into reduced row echelon form is sometimes called Gauss–Jordan elimination. In this case, the term Gaussian elimination refers to the process until it has reached its upper triangular, or (unreduced) row echelon form. For computational reasons, when solving systems of linear equations, it is sometimes ...
Echelon committed to only support existing customers, but not grow the grid business, and to potentially seek the sale of its grid business. [3] [independent source needed] Echelon is based in Santa Clara, California, with international offices in China, France, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
