    It is used for measuring font size, leading, and other items on a printed page. The size of the point has varied throughout printing's history. Since the 18th century, the size of a point has been between 0.18 and 0.4 millimeters.

  3. Shannon–Fano coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Fano_coding

    Here, ⌈ ⌉ is the ceiling function, meaning the smallest integer greater than or equal to . Once the codeword lengths have been determined, we must choose the codewords themselves. One method is to pick codewords in order from most probable to least probable symbols, picking each codeword to be the lexicographically first word of the correct ...

  4. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".

    The usual size of the sensor is 18 mm × 13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), with an imaging area of 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm, giving a diagonal of 21.64 mm. [17] [18] The sensor's area is about 30–40% smaller than APS-C sensors used in most other DSLRs, but still around 9 times larger than the 1/2.5" sensors typically used in compact digital cameras.

  7. List of the most distant astronomical objects - Wikipedia

    It differs from the “light travel distance” since the proper distance takes into account the expansion of the universe, i.e. the space expands as the light travels through it, resulting in numerical values which locate the most distant galaxies beyond the Hubble sphere and therefore with recession velocities greater than the speed of light c.

  8. Rhea (moon) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhea_(moon)

    Rhea is the second largest moon of Saturn, but with a mean diameter of 1,528 kilometers (949 miles) it is less than a third the radius of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Rhea is an icy body with a density of about 1.236 g/cm 3. This low density indicates that it is made of ~25% rock (density ~3.25 g/cm 3) and ~75% water ice (density ~0.93 g/cm 3).
