  2. Edith Clarke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Clarke

    Unable to find work as an engineer, Clarke went to work for General Electric as a supervisor of computers in the Turbine Engineering Department. During this time, she invented the Clarke calculator, [1] an early graphing calculator, a simple graphical device that solved equations involving electric current, voltage and impedance in power transmission lines.

  3. Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator

    In 1921, Edith Clarke invented the "Clarke calculator", a simple graph-based calculator for solving line equations involving hyperbolic functions. This allowed electrical engineers to simplify calculations for inductance and capacitance in power transmission lines .

  4. Graphing calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphing_calculator

    Casio fx-7000G; the world's first graphing calculator. An early graphing calculator was designed in 1921 by electrical engineer Edith Clarke. [1] [2] [3] The calculator was used to solve problems with electrical power line transmission.

  5. Alpha–beta transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha–beta_transformation

    In electrical engineering, the alpha-beta transformation (also known as the Clarke transformation) is a mathematical transformation employed to simplify the analysis of three-phase circuits. Conceptually it is similar to the dq0 transformation .

    Edith Clarke invents the "Clarke calculator", a graphical calculator for solving line equations involving hyperbolic function, allowing electrical engineers to simplify calculations for inductance and capacity in power transmission lines [13] 1924: Japanese engineer Kenjiro Takayanagi began a research program on electronic television [14] 1925

  7. Mechanical calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_calculator

    Friden made a calculator that also provided square roots, basically by doing division, but with added mechanism that automatically incremented the number in the keyboard in a systematic fashion. The last of the mechanical calculators were likely to have short-cut multiplication, and some ten-key, serial-entry types had decimal-point keys.

  8. Clark's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark's_rule

    Clark's rule is a medical term referring to a mathematical formula used to calculate the proper dosage of medicine for children aged 2–17 based on the weight of the patient and the appropriate adult dose. [1] The formula was named after Cecil Belfield Clarke (1894–1970), a Barbadian physician who practiced throughout the UK, the West Indies ...

  9. Direct-quadrature-zero transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-quadrature-zero...

    The Clarke transform (named after Edith Clarke) converts vectors in the ABC reference frame to the XYZ (also called αβγ) reference frame. The primary value of the Clarke transform is isolating that part of the ABC-referenced vector, which is common to all three components of the vector; it isolates the common-mode component (i.e., the Z ...
