  2. Polar Electro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_Electro

    Polar Electro Oy (commonly known as Polar) is a Finnish manufacturer of sports training computers, particularly known for developing the world's first wireless heart rate monitor. [ 1 ] The company is based in Kempele , Finland and was founded in 1977.

  3. Heart rate monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate_monitor

    Early models consisted of a monitoring box with a set of electrode leads which attached to the chest. The first wireless EKG heart rate monitor was invented in 1977 by Polar Electro as a training aid for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski team. As "intensity training" became a popular concept in athletic circles in the mid-80s, retail sales ...

    Suppose we have a continuous differential equation ′ = (,), =, and we wish to compute an approximation of the true solution () at discrete time steps ,, …,.For simplicity, assume the time steps are equally spaced:

  6. Polar Security Cutter program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_Security_Cutter_program

    The Polar Security Cutters will be the largest icebreakers ever commissioned by the United States Coast Guard and will temporarily be the largest coast guard vessel in the world. With an overall length of 460 feet (140 m), beam of 88 feet (27 m), and a full load displacement of 22,900 long tons (23,300 t), [ 27 ] they will be bigger, wider and ...

  7. Pole and polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_and_polar

    If two lines a and k pass through a single point Q, then the polar q of Q joins the poles A and K of the lines a and k, respectively. The concepts of a pole and its polar line were advanced in projective geometry. For instance, the polar line can be viewed as the set of projective harmonic conjugates of a given point, the pole, with respect to ...

  8. Hilbert's problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_problems

    The 6th problem concerns the axiomatization of physics, a goal that 20th-century developments seem to render both more remote and less important than in Hilbert's time. Also, the 4th problem concerns the foundations of geometry, in a manner that is now generally judged to be too vague to enable a definitive answer.

  9. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    the point's direction from the pole relative to the direction of the polar axis, a ray drawn from the pole. The distance from the pole is called the radial coordinate, radial distance or simply radius, and the angle is called the angular coordinate, polar angle, or azimuth. [1] The pole is analogous to the origin in a Cartesian coordinate system.
