Switches act as buffers, receiving and analyzing the frames from each connected network segment.

Equations which define the shape of the curve and the tension of the chain at each point may be derived by a careful inspection of the various forces acting on a segment using the fact that these forces must be in balance if the chain is in static equilibrium.

The calendar also shows the costs of the next city improvement in each of the three categories — as a city is improved in a category, that segment has its card flipped down calendar style to reveal the newly built improvement, any advantages gained by the improvement, and the updated cost of upgrading to the next level in that category.

But in measuring a wavy fractal curve such as the one in Figure 2, one would never find a small enough straight segment to conform to the curve, because the wavy pattern would always re-appear, albeit at a smaller size, essentially pulling a little more of the tape measure into the total length measured each time one attempted to fit it tighter and tighter to the curve.

The set of regions of a map can be represented more abstractly as an undirected graph that has a vertex for each region and an edge for every pair of regions that share a boundary segment.

Instead of pushing each potential future pixel coordinate on the stack, it inspects the neighbour lines ( previous and next ) to find adjacent segments that may be filled in a future pass ; the coordinates ( either the start or the end ) of the line segment are pushed on the stack.

* " Hee-Haw's All-Jug Band ": A musical segment, featuring most of the female cast members, singing a comical song, in which the punch line differed each week.

Minnie Pearl introduced the segment each week, loudly announcing, " We're gonna play now!

So the parameters are: a — distance from center C to either vertex b — length of a perpendicular segment from each vertex to the asymptotes c — distance from center C to either Focus point, F < sub > 1 </ sub > and F < sub > 2 </ sub >, and θ — angle formed by each asymptote with the transverse axis.

* Assigning Privilege levels to each segment.

Displays for a small number of individual digits and / or fixed symbols ( as in digital watches and pocket calculators ) can be implemented with independent electrodes for each segment.

The firm then attempts to maximize profits in each segment by equating MR and MC ,< ref > Because MC is the same in each market segment the profit maximizing condition becomes produce where MR < sub > 1 </ sub >

During each night of prayers, which can last for up to two hours each night, usually one member of the community who has memorized the entire Quran ( a Hafiz ) will recite a segment of the book.

* Topic segmentation and recognition: Given a chunk of text, separate it into segments each of which is devoted to a topic, and identify the topic of the segment.

They direct replication towards each other – the extension of one primer by polymerase then becomes the template for the other, leading to an exponential increase in the target segment.

TPF also had its programs allocated as 381, 1055 and 4K bytes in size and each program consisted of a single record ( aka segment ).

The Internet Layer encapsulates each TCP segment into an IP packet by adding a header that includes ( among other data ) the destination IP address.

The TCP packages the data from these buffers into segments and calls on the internet module IP to transmit each segment to the destination TCP.

If the surfaces are approximated by a finite number of planar patches, each of which is taken to have a constant radiosity B < sub > i </ sub > and reflectivity ρ < sub > i </ sub >, the above equation gives the discrete radiosity equation,

The full form factor could then be approximated by adding up the contribution from each of the pixel-like squares.

" Optimum sail angle can be approximated by pulling the sheet in just so far as to make the luffing stop, or by using of tell-tales-small ribbons or yarn attached each side of the sail that both stream horizontally to indicate a properly trimmed sail.

As a consequence of the Weierstrass approximation theorem, one can show that the space C is separable: the polynomial functions are dense, and each polynomial function can be uniformly approximated by one with rational coefficients ; there are only countably many polynomials with rational coefficients.

Sensitivity to initial conditions means that each point in such a system is arbitrarily closely approximated by other points with significantly different future trajectories.

It can be approximated by placing two conducting plates parallel to each other and maintaining a voltage ( potential difference ) between them ; it is only an approximation because of edge effects.

The non-linear problem has no closed-form solution and is usually solved by iterative refinement ; at each iteration the system is approximated by a linear one, thus the core calculation is similar in both cases.

If the target function is not easily differentiable, the differential with respect to each variable can be approximated as

For instance, the lift distribution over a finite wing may be approximated by assuming that each segment of the wing has a semi-infinite trailing vortex behind it.

An object of any shape can be approximated as a group of cubes in contact wth each other, and as the size of the cube is decreased, the precision of the approximation increases.

The scaling or size of most bells to each other may be approximated by the equation for circular cylinders: f = Ch / D < sup > 2 </ sup >, where h is thickness, D is diameter, and C is a constant determined by the material and the profile.

It is widely accepted that all forms of SM are very brief in duration ; however, the approximated duration of each memory store is not static.

If the wavefunction is approximated by its value at distinct points, each iteration requires 3 pointwise multiplications, one FFT, and one inverse FFT.

The second group's probabilities were approximated by how much they thought Tom W. was representative of each of the majors, and less on the base rate probability of being that kind of student in the first place ( the third group ).

The Fourier theorem states that any periodic waveform can be approximated as closely as desired as the sum of a series of sine waves with frequencies in a harmonic series and at specific phase relationships to each other.

Then, a straight tunnel of length A and constant width W can be approximated as a sequence of N evenly spaced goals, each separated from its neighbours by a distance of A / N.

In order to give a figure in whole numbers for ease of astrological calculation the Lunar orbit can be approximated to 27. 75 days which then returns a period of 54 hours or 2. 25 days for the Lunar transit of each sign.

There is naturally some debate on the accuracy of PVAs, since a wide variety of assumptions generally are required for future forecasting ; however, the important consideration is not absolute accuracy, but promulgation of the concept that each species indeed has an MVP, which at least can be approximated for the sake of conservation biology and Biodiversity Action Plans.

The sound can be approximated vocally by two ( or more ) people by both starting on the same note, then each continuously diverging, one up and one down, until the same note is reached two octaves apart and then sustaining for several moments.

To model the change in refractive index with altitude, the atmosphere may be approximated to many thin air layers, each of which has a slightly smaller refractive index than the one below.

For example, the radar scattering of radio waves by a light styrofoam column can be approximated by assuming that each part of the plastic is polarized by the same electric field that would be present at that point without the column, and then calculating the scattering as a radiation integral over that polarization distribution.
