floats: Encyclopedia II - NaN - NaNs in floating point

In floating-point calculations, NaN is not the same as infinity, although both are typically handled as special cases in floating-point representations of real numbers as well as in floating-point operations. An invalid operation is also not the same as an arithmetic overflow (which might return an infinity) or an arithmetic underflow (which would return the smallest normal number, a denormal number, or zero). A NaN does not compare equal to any floating-point number or NaN, even if the latter has an identical representation. One can therefore test whether a variable has a NaN value by comparing it ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Dry dock - Floating drydock

A floating drydock is a floating platform salvage which is constructed with floodable buoyancy chambers in a "U" shaped cross section that can support the hull of a ship needing repair. Valves can be opened to allow the chambers to fill with water. When this happens the dry dock floats lower in the water. A ship can then be moved into position inside the "U" of the dry dock. The water is pumped out of the chambers and the dry dock rises in the water. Normally the drydock is connected to a shipyard. Floating drydocks are use by numerous ship repair yards. The advantage of a floating dock against a graving dock ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Multiple document interface - Compared to Floating Windows

Multiple document interface - Advantages. Many child windows do not fill up the OS task management interface, as they are hierarchically organised. Users simply switch applications. With MDI (and also TDI), a single menu bar and/or toolbar is shared between all child windows, reducing clutter and increasing efficient use of screenspace. All child windows for an application can be hidden/shown/minimized/maximized as a whole. Without an MDI frame window, floating toolbars from one a ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Pop-up ad - Variation: Floating Ad

A form of advertisement that combines elements of a pop-up and web banner. It is a Flash animation superimposed over a webpage in a transparent layer. The flash animation links to the advertiser's site or product. This is a new form of advertisement, created in response to the growing popularity of pop-up blockers. Because the advertisement is an embedded flash object, it can be blocked, but with more difficulty, as most programs would view it as part of the content of the page. Methods of removing these are by u ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - NaN - NaNs in function definitions

There are differences of opinion about the proper definition for the result of a numeric function which receives a (quiet) NaN as input. One view is that the NaN should propagate to the output of the function in all cases to propagate the indication of an error. Another view is that if the function has multiple arguments and the output is uniquely determined by all the non-NaN inputs, then that value should be the result. If ...

The Tournament of Roses Parade has followed the same route for many decades. It starts by going north on South Orange Grove Boulevard, beginning at Ellis Street.

floats: Encyclopedia II - Carburetor - Fuel supply

Carburetor - Float chamber. To ensure a ready supply of fuel, the carburetor has a "float chamber" (or "bowl") that contains a quantity of fuel ready for use. It converts fuel from fuel pump pressure to atmospheric pressure. This works similarly to a toilet tank; a float controls an inlet valve. If the float drops, the inlet is opened allowing the fuel to flow under the fuel pump's pressure. The level of fuel maintained in the float bowl can usually be adjusted, whether by a setscrew or by something crude such as ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Oil platform - Platform types

Larger lake and sea-based oil platforms and oil rigs are some of the largest moveable man-made structures in the world. There are at least five distinct types of platforms and rigs: Immobile Platforms, built on concrete and/or steel legs anchored directly onto the seabed. Such platforms are, by virtue of their immobility, designed for very long term use (for instance the Hibernia platform). Semi-submersible Platforms having legs of sufficient buoyancy to cause the structure to float, but of weight sufficie ...
