Composite material

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Composite materials (or composites for short) are engineering materials made from two or more components. One component is often a strong fibre such as fiberglass, kevlar or carbon fibre that gives the material its tensile strength, while another component is often a resin such as epoxy that binds the fibres together and renders the material stiff and rigid.

Composite number

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A composite number is a natural number larger than 1 that is not a prime number. The first ten composite numbers are:

4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18.

Sphenic number

A composite number which has precisely three distinct prime factors is called a sphenic number.

The ten first sphenic numbers are:

  1. 30; which is also 11-agonal by polygonality and bracketed by twin primes
  2. 42
  3. 66; which is also triangular, hexagonal, 23-agonal and a palindrome
  4. 70; which is also pentagonal and 13-agonal
  5. 78
  6. 102; which is bracketed by twin primes
  7. 105; which is also 12-agonal
  8. 110
  9. 114
  10. 130; which is also 23-agonal

Composite pattern

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In computer programming, composite pattern is one of design patternss to decompose objects into their parts, and reassemble them in whichever combination you need with "has-a" relationships. That is to say, break things into the largest parts that still let you reuse the parts, and build your objects of those.

The other definition is to compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.

When: Any time there is partial overlap in the capabilities of objects.

Objects may be members of a number of linked lists in our system. The linked lists organize the objects by different criteria. 

 package LinkedList;
 use ImplictThis; ImplicitThis::imply();

 sub new {
   my $type = shift;
   bless { next=>, previous=> }, $type;
 }

 sub next { return $next; }
 sub set_next { $next = shift; return 1; }
 sub previous { return $previous; }
 sub set_previous { $previous = shift; return 1; }
 sub append { 
   my $ob = shift; $ob->isa(__PACKAGE__) or die;
   $next or do { $next = $ob; $ob->set_previous($this); return 1; }
   $ob->set_next($next);  $next->set_previous($ob);
   $ob->set_previous($this); $this->set_next($ob);
   return 1;
 }
We can inherit this, but inheriting it multiple times doesn't do us any good: we only ever have one instance of the LinkedList this way - ourselves. Using composition gives us what we want:

 package TriceQueuedObject;
 use LinkedList;
 use ImplicitThis; ImplicitThis::imply();

 sub new {
   my $type = shift;
   my $me = { 
     sort_order => new LinkedList,
     size_order => new LinkedList,
     save_order => new LinkedList,
     @_
   };
   bless $me, $type;
 }

 # create accessors that defer the action to each object, for each object composing us:
 # method A: see text below

 sub next_sort { return $sort_order->next(); }
 sub previous_sort { return $sort_order->previous(); }
 sub set_next_sort { return $sort_order->set_next(@_); }
 sub append_sort { return $sort_order->append(@_); }

 sub next_size { return $size_order->next(); }
 sub previous_size { return $size_order->previous(); }
 sub set_next_size { return $size_order->set_next(@_); }
 sub append_size { return $size_order->append(@_); }

 sub next_save { return $save_order->next(); }
 sub previous_save { return $save_order->previous(); }
 sub set_next_save { return $save_order->set_next(@_); }
 sub append_save { return $save_order->append(@_); }

 # directly return references to objects that compose us:
 # method B: see text below

 sub get_sort_order { return $sort_order; }
 sub get_size_order { return $size_order; }
 sub get_save_order { return $save_order; }
Where it says "method A" and "method B" illustrate two very different approaches to giving users of our object access to the our parts. "Method A" creates all new accessors which do their work by calling accessors in the composing objects. "Method B" simply returns the composing objects and lets the user call the methods directly. For example:

 # using method A:

 $ob->next_sort($ob2);

 # using method B:

 $ob->get_sort_order()->set_next($ob2);
Which is better? Well, it depends. If your object is merely a container for other objects, B makes more sense. If your object is a Facade, providing a new interface to several objects, A makes more sense. If you consider the objects you contain to be implementation dependent, and you don't want to have to support returning intermediate objects in the future, A lets you hide your implementation better. B makes for shorter code and less typing when the relationship between the objects isn't likely to change.

Each LinkedList instance is a "delegate" in this example. The methods that propogate requests to them are "delegate methods".

Compose means a special thing: it refers to building objects using DelegationConcept. Delegation-composition hangs onto constituent parts using references. By contrast, MixIns inherit from each part. MixIns prevent returning a WholeObject in responce to requests for information, and they prevent you from having a more than one of any given part.

Composite video

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Composite video is the format of an analog television signal before it is modulated onto an RF carrier. It is usually in a standard format such as NTSC, PAL or SECAM. It is a composite of three source signals called Y, U and V (together referred to as YUV). Y represents the brightness or luminance of the picture and includes synchronizing pulses, so that by itself it could be displayed as a monochrome picture. U and V between them carry the colour information. They are first mixed with two orthogonal phases of a colour carrier signal to form a signal called the chrominance. Y and UV are then added together. Since Y is a baseband signal and UV has been mixed with a carrier, this addition is equivalent to frequency-division multiplexing.

Composite video can easily be directed to any broadcast channel simply by mixing it with the proper RF carrier frequency. Most home video equipment records a signal in composite format: VCRs and laserdiscs both work this way, and then give the user the option of outputting the raw signal, or mixing it with RF to appear on a selected TV channel. In the United States, the composite video signal is typically connected using an RCA jack, normally yellow (with red and white for left and right sound). In Europe, a coax connector or SCART connector is used.

Some devices that connect to a TV, such as videogame consoles (and the ubiquitous home computers of the 1980s), naturally output a composite signal. This may then be converted to RF with an external box known as an RF modulator that generates the proper carrier (often for channel 3 or 4 in the USA). The RF modulator is preferably left outside the console so the RF doesn't interfere with the components inside the machine. VCRs and similar devices already have to deal with RF signals in their tuners, so the modulator is located inside the box. Also, most home computers usually employed an internal RF modulator.

The process of mixing the original video signal with RF, and then removing the RF again in the TV, introduces several losses into the signal. RF is also "noisy" because of all of the video and radio signals already being broadcast, so this conversion also typically adds noise or interference to the signal as well. For these reasons, it's typically best to use composite connections over RF connections if possible. Almost all modern video equipment has composite connectors, so this typically isn't a problem.

However, just as the mixing and removal of RF loses quality, the mixing of the various signals into the original composite signal does the same. This has led to a proliferation of systems such as S-Video and component video to separate out one or more of the mixed signals.

Stratovolcano

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A stratovolcano, composite cone, or composite volcano is a tall conical mountain volcano composed of both hardened lava and volcanic ash. These volcanoes form because the lava that formed them was viscous, and so cooled and hardened before spreading, making the steep mountain. Such lava tends to be high in silica. At the opposite end of the spectrum are shield volcanoes, which are formed from less viscous lava, giving them a wide base, and shallow slope.

Because most volcanoes have a stratified (layered) structure, some volcanologists prefer to use the term stratovolcano.
