While the concept is older, the phrase "Possession is nine-tenths of the law" is often claimed to date from the 16th century. [7] In some countries, possession is not nine-tenths of the law, but rather the onus is on the possessor to substantiate his ownership. [8] This concept has been applied to both tangible and intangible products. [9]
Power of two. A power of two is a number of the form 2n where n is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with number two as the base and integer n as the exponent . Powers of two with non-negative exponents are integers: 20 = 1, 21 = 2, and 2n is two multiplied by itself n times. [1] [2] The first ten powers of 2 for non-negative ...
The rank of the second quartile (same as the median) is 10×(2/4) = 5, which is an integer, while the number of values (10) is an even number, so the average of both the fifth and sixth values is taken—that is (8+10)/2 = 9, though any value from 8 through to 10 could be taken to be the median. 9 Third quartile
Big six (2–4–6–7–8–10 or 3–4–6–7–9–10) a.k.a. "Greek cathedral", "Four through the middle" or "The PBA four" or "Double trouble" This split is similar to the Big five, but is made slightly harder because there is another pin in the back row, creating a split with two pins on one side and four pins on the other.
8b/10b coding is DC-free, meaning that the long-term ratio of ones and zeros transmitted is exactly 50%. To achieve this, the difference between the number of ones transmitted and the number of zeros transmitted is always limited to ±2, and at the end of each symbol, it is either +1 or −1. This difference is known as the running disparity (RD).
The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal. It is a special case of the slope, where zero indicates horizontality. A larger number indicates higher or steeper degree of "tilt ...
British Standard Whitworth(BSW) is an imperial-unit-based screw threadstandard, devised and specified by Joseph Whitworthin 1841 and later adopted as a British Standard. It was the world's first national screw thread standard, and is the basis for many other standards, such as BSF, BSP, BSCon, and BSCopper. History.
