  2. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    In mechanical engineering, jerk, in addition to velocity and acceleration, is considered in the development of cam profiles because of tribological implications and the ability of the actuated body to follow the cam profile without chatter. [11] Jerk is often considered when vibration is a concern. A device that measures jerk is called a ...

  3. Link budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_budget

    The path loss will be in terms of dB per unit distance. This means that there is always a crossover distance beyond which the loss in a guided medium will exceed that of a line-of-sight path of the same length. Long distance fiber-optic communication became practical only with the development of ultra-transparent glass fibers.

  4. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth...

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  5. Path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_loss

    Path loss is a major component in the analysis and design of the link budget of a telecommunication system. This term is commonly used in wireless communications and signal propagation. Path loss may be due to many effects, such as free-space loss, refraction, diffraction, reflection, aperture-medium coupling loss, and absorption. Path loss is ...

  6. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    In telecommunications, the free-space path loss (FSPL) (also known as free-space loss, FSL) is the attenuation of radio energy between the feedpoints of two antennas that results from the combination of the receiving antenna's capture area plus the obstacle-free, line-of-sight (LoS) path through free space (usually air). [1]

  7. Dwell mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwell_mechanism

    To maintain continuity, the fall function often begins such that the follower has the same non-zero acceleration as it had at the end of the rise function. The follower then stays stationary during the dwell function, with its velocity, acceleration, and jerk zero. [2] There are a number of functions that can provide these motion requirements.

  8. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    Next, the flow follows the Fanno line until a shock changes the flow from supersonic to subsonic. The flow then follows the Fanno line again, almost reaching a choked condition before exiting the duct. Figure 5 Fanno and Rayleigh Line Intersection Chart. The Fanno flow model is often used in the design and analysis of nozzles.

  9. Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

    For a given set of points S = {p 1, p 2, ..., p n}, the farthest-point Voronoi diagram divides the plane into cells in which the same point of P is the farthest point. A point of P has a cell in the farthest-point Voronoi diagram if and only if it is a vertex of the convex hull of P.
