  2. Luhn algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

    Luhn algorithm. The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the " modulus 10" or "mod 10" algorithm, named after its creator, IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn, is a simple check digit formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers. It is described in US patent 2950048A, granted on 23 August 1960. [ 1]

  3. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones ...

  4. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    If the remainder is equal to 0 then use 0 as the check digit, and if not 0 subtract the remainder from 10 to derive the check digit. A GS1 check digit calculator and detailed documentation is online at GS1's website. [5] Another official calculator page shows that the mechanism for GTIN-13 is the same for Global Location Number/GLN. [6]

  5. Method of successive substitution - Wikipedia

    Adding our current modulus to the value that c represents, our new c = 10. ∴ c = 11d + 10, ∀d ∈ Z. 8. Our final step is to substitute c into the equation with respect to x that we found in step 6: x = 30c + 23 = 30(11d + 10) + 23 = 330d + 323. ∴ 330d + 323 represents all solutions that satisfies the system of congruences with which we ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube

    One problem of CVD processes is the high variability in the nanotube's characteristics [86] The HiPCO process advances in catalysis and continuous growth are making CNTs more commercially viable. [87] The HiPCO process helps in producing high purity single-walled carbon nanotubes in higher quantity.

  7. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    In general, for some material property (often the elastic modulus [ 1] ), the rule of mixtures states that the overall property in the direction parallel to the fibers may be as high as. where. is the volume fraction of the fibers. is the material property of the fibers. is the material property of the matrix.

  8. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    Modular exponentiation is the remainder when an integer b (the base) is raised to the power e (the exponent), and divided by a positive integer m (the modulus); that is, c = be mod m. From the definition of division, it follows that 0 ≤ c < m . For example, given b = 5, e = 3 and m = 13, dividing 53 = 125 by 13 leaves a remainder of c = 8 .

  9. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    [3] [4] In 1882, Hertz solved the contact problem of two elastic bodies with curved surfaces. This still-relevant classical solution provides a foundation for modern problems in contact mechanics. For example, in mechanical engineering and tribology, Hertzian contact stress is a description of the stress within mating parts. The Hertzian ...
