DTED(Digital Terrain Elevation Data) represents a matrix or grid of measured elevation posts over a portion of the earth's surface. The elevation posts are spaced at regular horizontal intervals, measured in Geographic Lat/Long [latitude/longitude] units, with vertical elevation values in meters. Each row of elevation posts is sometimes termed a profile. DTED elevations are in meters, rounded off to the nearest whole meter and stored as signed 2-byte(16-bit) digital numbers.

CONT

Transparent to the user, TERPEM is directly integrated into ADAPT_MFR enabling it to use digital terrain elevation data (DTED) to evaluate the radar performance of naval radars in coastal areas and to determine optimal locations for new ground radars.

Cap Mats and Strips. Matrix Technologies EVA cap mats and strips are engineered to maintain a strong seal at all times on tubes, microplates and blocks.... Each cap mat features alphanumeric designations as well as traditional row and column indicators to simplify orientation of the cap mat over the corresponding tubes or wells. 1mL cap mats or strips effectively seal 0. 75mL tubes, 1. 4mL tubes, 1mL blocks and 96 well microplates.... The SepraSeal [trademark] Cap Mat System allows each tube in a 96-tube rack to be sealed individually as easily as applying a standard cap mat. After the mat is sealed on the rack, simply remove the backing plate to leave each tube individually sealed. Caps are made of an advanced elastomer and offer an excellent vapor barrier for both water and DMSO even at temperatures down to-80°C. Sepraseal caps can be... pierced and resealed and are available as solid caps or pre-slit for easier piercing. For ease of use and maximum efficiency, we offer the SepraSeal cap-removal tool that can be used to remove a single cap or an entire row at once. Caps can then be reinserted into tubes or ejected.

CONT

There are tow types of matrix multiplication : scalar-by-matrix multiplication and matrix-by-matrix multiplication. As a noun, a scalar is a single number or scale factor that all the matrix elements are multiplied by in scalar multiplication. This is used to scale down all the elements of a matrix in equal proportion. In graphics, this is used on row and column vectors that represent points in space. It moves a point radially toward or away from the origin(0, 0, 0). This is often done to put the values of x, y, and z within a range that graphics routines can more easily handle, especially when integer arithmetic is being performed.

  • Electronic Devices
DEF

A display matrix where each liquid crystal is associated with one transistor therefore showing superior contrast and images.

CONT

All the systems considered for the Best Overall category had active-matrix screens; active matrix remains a clearly superior technology. These displays use three transistors to control each pixel' s red, green, and blue values. By contrast, passive-matrix screens use three transistors to control and entire row or column of pixels.

OBS

This term is mostly used as an adjective qualifying screen or display. Since this technique requires a great amount of energy, it is not very popular in subnotebooks.

  • active matrix display device

  • active matrix screen
