An isochron diagram will only give a valid age if all samples are cogenetic, which means they have the same initial isotopic composition (that is, the rocks are from the same unit, the minerals are from the same rock, etc.), all samples have the same initial isotopic composition (at t 0), and the system has remained closed.
Originally meant also as part marking code, this shorthand notation is widely used in electrical engineering to denote the values of resistors and capacitors in circuit diagrams and in the production of electronic circuits (for example in bills of material and in silk screens).
A grounding resistance tester also called an earth tester is a soil resistance measuring instrument. It is used for sizing and projecting grounding grids.

Rhenium–osmium dating is a form of radiometric dating based on the beta decay of the isotope 187 Re to 187 Os. This normally occurs with a half-life of 41.6 × 10 9 y, [ 1 ] but studies using fully ionised 187 Re atoms have found that this can decrease to only 33 y. [ 2 ]
Lead–lead dating is a method for dating geological samples, normally based on 'whole-rock' samples of material such as granite.For most dating requirements it has been superseded by uranium–lead dating (U–Pb dating), but in certain specialized situations (such as dating meteorites and the age of the Earth) it is more important than U–Pb dating.
Sixteen ohm drivers (or loudspeakers systems) would be connected to the 16-ohm tap, 8 ohm to the 8 ohm tap, etc. This is significant since the ratio between the loudspeaker impedance and the amplifier's impedance at a particular frequency provides damping (i.e., energy absorption) for the back EMF generated by a driver.
Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material.

The Nyquist plot for () = + + with s = jω.. In control theory and stability theory, the Nyquist stability criterion or Strecker–Nyquist stability criterion, independently discovered by the German electrical engineer Felix Strecker [] at Siemens in 1930 [1] [2] [3] and the Swedish-American electrical engineer Harry Nyquist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932, [4] is a graphical technique ...
