A diagram of a typical nautical sextant, a tool used in celestial navigation to measure the angle between two objects viewed by means of its optical sight. Celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation, is the practice of position fixing using stars and other celestial bodies that enables a navigator to accurately determine their actual current physical position in space or on the ...
The earliest angular readouts were from open vernier scales directly visible to the eye. Gradually these scales were enclosed for physical protection. Angular micrometer scales were also used [3] (not to be confused with the micrometre device used for length measurements). Finally, angle readings became an indirect optical readout, with ...
The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 (0 to 2 10 − 1) are the well-known ports or system ports. [3] They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services. On Unix-like operating systems, a process must execute with superuser privileges to be able to bind a network socket to an IP address using one of the ...
MEAN (MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS (or Angular), and Node.js) [1] is a source-available JavaScript software stack for building dynamic web sites and web applications. [2] A variation known as MERN replaces Angular with React.js front-end, [3] [4] and another named MEVN use Vue.js as front-end.
Angular 2.0 was announced at the ng-Europe conference 22–23 October 2014. [17] On April 30, 2015, the Angular developers announced that Angular 2 moved from Alpha to Developer Preview. [18] Angular 2 moved to Beta in December 2015, [19] and the first release candidate was published in May 2016. [20] The final version was released on 14 ...
[2] [3] [4] It was created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky. [5] [6] It features questions and answers on certain computer programming topics. [7] [8] [9] It was created to be a more open alternative to earlier question and answer websites such as Experts-Exchange.
A spacecraft's attitude must typically be stabilized and controlled for a variety of reasons. It is often needed so that the spacecraft high-gain antenna may be accurately pointed to Earth for communications, so that onboard experiments may accomplish precise pointing for accurate collection and subsequent interpretation of data, so that the heating and cooling effects of sunlight and shadow ...
Some of the reasons for this include cost, size and battery drainage of constrained sensor nodes. To overcome this problem a limited number of reference nodes (with GPS) within a field is employed. These nodes continuously broadcast their locations and other nodes in proximity receive these locations and calculate their position using some ...
