In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.
An example of legal and illegal permutations can be better demonstrated by a specific problem such as balanced brackets (see Dyck language). A general problem is to count the number of balanced brackets (or legal permutations) that a string of m open and m closed brackets forms (total of 2m brackets).
As with the small multiple chart, each panel uses the same underlying two-dimensional space, but in this case that is a geographic space. Typically, the variables being mapped are of a similar type, such as types of agricultural products, so that the same strategy of map symbol can be used on each panel, enabling rapid comparison between the maps.
However, Dudeney states that the problem is "as old as the hills...much older than electric lighting, or even gas". [3] Dudeney also published the same puzzle previously, in The Strand Magazine in 1913. [4] A competing claim of priority goes to Sam Loyd, who was quoted by his son in a posthumous biography as having published the problem in 1900 ...
The wire pairs are referenced directly by their color combination, or by the pair number. For example, pair 9 is also called the red-brown pair. In technical tabulations, the colors are often suitably abbreviated. Violet is the standard name in the telecommunications and electronics industry, but it is sometimes referred to as purple.
A two-out-of-five code is a constant-weight code that provides exactly ten possible combinations of two bits, and is thus used for representing the decimal digits using five bits. [1] Each bit is assigned a weight, such that the set bits sum to the desired value, with an exception for zero.
If k > 1 the remaining elements of the k-combination form the k − 1-combination corresponding to the number () in the combinatorial number system of degree k − 1, and can therefore be found by continuing in the same way for and k − 1 instead of N and k.
The Smith chart (sometimes also called Smith diagram, Mizuhashi chart (水橋チャート), Mizuhashi–Smith chart (水橋スミスチャート), [1] [2] [3] Volpert–Smith chart (Диаграмма Вольперта—Смита) [4] [5] or Mizuhashi–Volpert–Smith chart), is a graphical calculator or nomogram designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio ...
