Then the behavior of the electronic component can be described by B = H · A, where H is a 2 x 2 matrix containing one impedance element (h 12), one admittance element (h 21), and two dimensionless elements (h 11 and h 22). Calculating a circuit now reduces to multiplying matrices.
Three variants of obelus glyphs. The dagger symbol originated from a variant of the obelus, originally depicted by a plain line − or a line with one or two dots ÷. [7] It represented an iron roasting spit, a dart, or the sharp end of a javelin, [8] symbolizing the skewering or cutting out of dubious matter.
Even if the reflected signal was of the same power, the following example (using hypothetical values) shows the problem: Suppose a sonar system is capable of emitting a 10,000 W/m 2 signal at 1 m, and detecting a 0.001 W/m 2 signal. At 100 m the signal will be 1 W/m 2 (due to the inverse-square law).
The offer of a so-called Knuth reward check worth "one hexadecimal dollar" (100 HEX base 16 cents, in decimal, is $2.56) for any errors found, and the correction of these errors in subsequent printings, has contributed to the highly polished and still-authoritative nature of the work, long after its first publication.
