Radar beacon. Racon signal as seen on a radar screen. This beacon receives using sidelobe suppression and transmits the letter "Q" in Morse code near Boston Harbor (Nahant) 17 January 1985. Radar beacon (short: racon) is – according to article 1.103 of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) ITU Radio Regulations (RR) [1 ...
The Maidenhead Locator System (a.k.a. QTH Locator and IARU Locator) is a geocode system used by amateur radio operators to succinctly describe their geographic coordinates, which replaced the deprecated QRA locator, which was limited to European contacts. [1] Its purpose is to be concise, accurate, and robust in the face of interference and ...
D-AUAA to D-AZZZ (test registrations) for aircraft manufactured by Airbus at Finkenwerder. D-BAAA to D-BZZZ for aircraft with 14–20 t MTOW. D-CAAA to D-CZZZ for aircraft with 5.7–14 t MTOW. D-EAAA to D-EZZZ for single-engine aircraft up to 2 t MTOW. D-FAAA to D-FZZZ for single-engine aircraft from to 2–5.7 t MTOW.
Open Location Code. The Open Location Code ( OLC) is a geocode based in a system of regular grids for identifying an area anywhere on the Earth. [1] It was developed at Google's Zürich engineering office, [2] and released late October 2014. [3] Location codes created by the OLC system are referred to as " plus codes ".
Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) to a human-readable address or place name. It is the opposite of forward geocoding (often referred to as address geocoding or simply "geocoding"), hence the term reverse. Reverse geocoding permits the identification of nearby ...
Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Mercer Island, Bainbridge Island, Vashon Island. Original statewide area code until 1957, when area code 509 was created for Eastern Washington. Further splits in 1995 to create area code 360 for most of Western Washington, and 1997 to form area codes 253 and 425. 564 will be added to the 206 area in 2025. 509.
Photon mapping is another method that uses both light-based and eye-based ray tracing; in an initial pass, energetic photons are traced along rays from the light source so as to compute an estimate of radiant flux as a function of 3-dimensional space (the eponymous photon map itself). In a subsequent pass, rays are traced from the eye into the ...
Distraction is the process of diverting the attention of an individual or group from a desired area of focus and thereby blocking or diminishing the reception of desired information. Distraction is caused by: the lack of ability to pay attention; lack of interest in the object of attention; or the great intensity, novelty or attractiveness of ...
