Technical assistance to small business community

The property sales assistance program is designed to assist small business concerns that may wish to buy property offered for sale by the Federal Government.

Under this program, property sales specialists in the Small Business Administration regional offices help small business concerns to locate Federal property for sale and insure that small firms have the opportunity to bid competitively for surplus personal and real property and certain natural resources, including timber from the national forests.

SBA works closely with the principal property disposal installations of the Federal Government in reviewing proposed sales programs and identifying those types of property that small business concerns are most likely to be interested in purchasing.

Proposed property sales of general interest to small business concerns are publicized through SBA regional news releases, and by `` flyers '' directed to the small business concerns.

Each SBA regional office also maintains a `` want '' list of surplus property, principally machinery and equipment, desired by small business concerns in its area.

When suitable equipment is located by the SBA representative, the small business concern is contacted and advised on when, where, and how to bid on such property.

Section 8-b-2 of the Small Business Act, as amended, authorizes the SBA to make a complete inventory of the productive facilities of small business concerns.

The Administration maintains a productive facilities inventory of small business industrial concerns that have voluntarily registered.

Purpose of this inventory is to include all eligible productive facilities in SBA's facilities register so that the small business concerns may have an opportunity to avail themselves of the services authorized by the Congress in establishing the Small Business Administration.

SBA can make complete facilities inventories of all small business concerns in labor surplus areas within budgetary and staff limitations.

The Gaussian theory, however, is only true so long as the angles made by all rays with the optical axis ( the symmetrical axis of the system ) are infinitely small, i. e. with infinitesimal objects, images and lenses ; in practice these conditions are not realized, and the images projected by uncorrected systems are, in general, ill defined and often completely blurred, if the aperture or field of view exceeds certain limits.

For these amplifiers, the 1 dB compression point is defined as the input power ( or output power ) where the gain is 1 dB less than the small signal gain.

Cauchy defined continuity of f as follows: an infinitely small increment of the independent variable x produces always an infinitely small increment change of f ( x ).

Cauchy defined infinitely small quantities in terms of variable quantities, and his definition closely parallels the infinitesimal definition used today ( see microcontinuity ).

The condition number of ƒ at a point x ( specifically, its relative condition number ) is then defined to be the maximum ratio of the fractional change in ƒ ( x ) to any fractional change in x, in the limit where the change δx in x becomes infinitesimally small:

The Milton Loch interpretation is of a small islet surrounded or defined at its edges by timber piles and a gangway, topped by a typical Iron Age roundhouse.

Strict limits for how small a point defect is, are generally not defined explicitly, but typically these defects involve at most a few extra or missing atoms.

This notion can also be defined locally, i. e. for small neighborhoods of points.

* The relation " is approximately equal to " between real numbers, even if more precisely defined, is not an equivalence relation, because although reflexive and symmetric, it is not transitive, since multiple small changes can accumulate to become a big change.
