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 ...
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 blue area is assigned area codes 301, 240, and 227; the red area is area codes 410, 443 and 667. The state of Maryland is served by the following area codes: Area codes. Numbering plan area. 227.
Retinotopy (from Greek τόπος (tópos) 'place') is the mapping of visual input from the retina to neurons, particularly those neurons within the visual stream. For clarity, 'retinotopy' can be replaced with 'retinal mapping', and 'retinotopic' with 'retinally mapped'. Visual field maps (retinotopic maps) are found in many amphibian and ...
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 ".
The map to the right is clickable, click on any of the area codes on the map to go to the area code for that region or use the text links below. None of the Iowa codes are expected to need relief in the immediate future. 319: Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Iowa City, and Cedar Falls (original area code created in 1947)
In computing, Internet geolocation is software capable of deducing the geographic position of a device connected to the Internet. [1] For example, the device's IP address can be used to determine the country, city, or ZIP code, determining its geographical location. [2] Other methods include examination of Wi-Fi hotspots, [3] a MAC address ...
List of Tennessee area codes. Map of all Tennessee area codes. 423 - Chattanooga, Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol: Initially split from 615 in 1995. 615 and 629 (overlay) - Greater Nashville, including Murfreesboro: 615 initially split from 901 in a 1954 flash-cut. The 629 overlay for the entire area code was made effective in 2015.
In 3D computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images . On a spectrum of computational cost and visual fidelity, ray tracing-based rendering techniques, such as ray casting, recursive ray tracing, distribution ray tracing, photon mapping ...
Natural Area Code. The Natural Area Code, or Universal Address, is a proprietary [1] geocode system for identifying an area anywhere on the Earth, or a volume of space anywhere around the Earth. The use of thirty alphanumeric characters instead of only ten digits makes a NAC shorter than its numerical latitude / longitude equivalent.
