Even though it is possible to have a single winding serving as the sense line during reading and the inhibit line during writing, the design of the circuit becomes too complex since the sense signal strength is nearly two orders of magnitude lesser than [the] inhibit drive current.

A huntsman’s assistant.

CONT

The whipper-in is the huntsman's assistant and provides him with an extra set of eyes and ears. They are an extension of the huntsman, usually far out on the flanks, and are used to help assure that the hounds do the huntsman's bidding. They act as safety valves to prevent hounds from running onto roads or land not open to hunting, along with assisting the huntsman with a myriad of tasks related to the hunt. Whipper-ins are most often seen standing and flanking the coverts where hounds are cast in order to see which way the fox exits. This is important so that they can alert the huntsman if they view a fox with the call of "Tally HO. "The whipper-in often uses the whip or their voices as a noise making device to attract the attention of the hounds and keep them on the correct path of the scent. They are integral in keeping the hounds from chasing incorrect quarry and together on the line of a fox.

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Graphs and Diagrams
CONT

Line graphs differ from each other by differences in scale rulings. The most commonly employed are the arithmetic and semilogarithmic rulings.(...) Arithmetically ruled graphs are designed to show changes in absolute amount.(...) Even when an arithmetic graph is properly constructed, it has severe limitations(...) [First], it is difficult to compare relative rates of change in the series. Second, when series that differ greatly in magnitude are compared, it frequently becomes difficult to determine the extent of the fluctuations in the series with the smaller values. Third, an arithmetic graph does not help the reader to determine whether one series of data is increasing or decreasing at a more rapid rate than other series on data that are plotted in the same field.(...) In order to overcome these limitations [one can] use semilogarithmic ruling rather than the conventional arithmetic ruling for line graphs.

DEF

Graphique obtenu en portant en abscisses et en ordonnées des longueurs proportionnelles aux grandeurs réelles à représenter.

CONT

Les graphiques arithmétiques rendent de grands services lorsqu'il s'agit de comparer des valeurs absolues (...) Les graphiques arithmétiques ne doivent pas être utilisés pour représenter les variations relatives, car ils les déforment; ils deviennent inutilisables quand il s'agit de représenter des variations qui, très petites à l'origine, deviennent considérables par la suite. Il faut alors les remplacer par des graphiques logarithmiques ou semi-logarithmiques.
