A minifloat in 1 byte (8 bit) with 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits and 3 significand bits (in short, a 1.4.3 minifloat) is demonstrated here. The exponent bias is defined as 7 to center the values around 1 to match other IEEE 754 floats [3] [4] so (for most values) the actual multiplier for exponent x is 2 x−7. All IEEE 754 principles should be ...
So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch. Below is a chart providing the decimal-fraction equivalents that are most relevant to fractional-inch drill bit sizes (that is, 0 to 1 by 64ths).
The base "Roman fraction" is S, indicating 1 ⁄ 2. The use of S (as in VIIS to indicate 7 1 ⁄ 2) is attested in some ancient inscriptions [45] and also in the now rare apothecaries' system (usually in the form SS): [44] but while Roman numerals for whole numbers are essentially decimal, S does not correspond to 5 ⁄ 10, as one might expect ...
The atmospheric pressure is roughly equal to the sum of partial pressures of constituent gases – oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.. In a mixture of gases, each constituent gas has a partial pressure which is the notional pressure of that constituent gas as if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature.

The diminution in Betelgeuse's apparent size equates to a range of values between 56.0 ± 0.1 mas seen in 1993 to 47.0 ± 0.1 mas seen in 2008— a contraction of almost 0.9 AU in 15 years. [57] The observed contraction is generally believed to be a variation in just a portion of the extended atmosphere around Betelgeuse, and observations at ...
The refractive index of liquid water (1.333 at 20 °C (68 °F)) is much higher than that of air (1.0), similar to those of alkanes and ethanol, but lower than those of glycerol (1.473), benzene (1.501), carbon disulfide (1.627), and common types of glass (1.4 to 1.6). The refraction index of ice (1.31) is lower than that of liquid water.
The lowest price since the 2012–2013 Cypriot financial crisis had been reached at 3:25 AM on 11 April. [citation needed] 2–3 March 2017 $1,290+ Price broke above the November 2013 high of $1,242 [197] and then traded above $1,290. [198] 20 May 2017 $2,000 : Price reached a new high, reaching $1,402.03 on 1 May 2017, and over $1,800 on 11 ...
