  3. Electronic flight instrument system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_flight...

    The symbol generator can go by other names, such as display processing computer, display electronics unit, etc. The symbol generator does more than generate symbols. It has (at the least) monitoring facilities, a graphics generator and a display driver. [2] Inputs from sensors and controls arrive via data buses, and are checked for validity.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

    Given an independent variable x and a dependent variable y, y is directly proportional to x [1] if there is a positive constant k such that: = The relation is often denoted using the symbols "∝" (not to be confused with the Greek letter alpha) or "~", with exception of Japanese texts, where "~" is reserved for intervals:

  8. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    In an electrical generator, a time-varying magnetic field inside the generator creates an electric field via electromagnetic induction, which creates a potential difference between the generator terminals. Charge separation takes place within the generator because electrons flow away from one terminal toward the other, until, in the open ...

  9. Taijitu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taijitu

    The names of the taijitu are highly subjective and some interpretations of the texts they appear in would only call the principle of taiji those names rather than the symbol. [further explanation needed] Since the 1960s, the He tu symbol, which combines the two interlocking spirals with two dots, has more commonly been used as a yin-yang symbol.
