A linear scale, also called a bar scale, scale bar, graphic scale, or graphical scale, is a means of visually showing the scale of a map, nautical chart...

an accurate measurement reading between two graduation markings on a linear scale by using mechanical interpolation, thereby increasing resolution and...

numbers involved. Unlike a linear scale where each unit of distance corresponds to the same increment, on a logarithmic scale each unit of length is a multiple...

semi-logarithmic plot/graph has one axis on a logarithmic scale, the other on a linear scale. It is useful for data with exponential relationships, where...

smoothed away in the scale-space level at scale t {\displaystyle t} . The main type of scale space is the linear (Gaussian) scale space, which has wide...

dimension, linearity means the property of a function of being compatible with addition and scaling, also known as the superposition principle. Linearity of a...

In statistics, linear regression is a statistical model which estimates the linear relationship between a scalar response (dependent variable) and one...

linear, circular or cylindrical form. Slide rules manufactured for specialized fields such as aviation or finance typically feature additional scales...

infinity at the poles. The linear y-axis values are not usually shown on printed maps; instead some maps show the non-linear scale of latitude values on the...

linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled", thus, instead of producing a torque (rotation), it produces a linear force...

level. The decibel scales differ by a factor of two, so that the related power and root-power levels change by the same value in linear systems, where power...

aimed at the general public. The UV index is designed as an open-ended linear scale, directly proportional to the intensity of UV radiation, and adjusting...

events. Timelines can use any suitable scale representing time, suiting the subject and data; many use a linear scale, in which a unit of distance is equal...

Linear programming (LP), also called linear optimization, is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical...

points Scale (ratio), the ratio of a linear dimension of a model to the corresponding dimension of the original Scale factor, a number which scales, or multiplies...

a logarithmic scale, as in log probability. Similar to multiplication operations in linear-scale becoming simple additions in log-scale, an addition operation...

geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that...

graduation. The scale itself can be linear (the graduations are spaced at a constant distance apart) or nonlinear. Linear graduation of a scale occurs mainly...

deflection of the meter linearly proportional to current. These meters have linear scales. Basic meter movements can have full-scale deflection for currents...

larger than the last. Decades on a logarithmic scale, rather than unit steps (steps of 1) or other linear scale, are commonly used on the horizontal axis when...

Scalable Linear Recording is the name used by Tandberg Data for its line of QIC based tape drives. The earliest SLR drive, the SLR1, has a capacity of...

graph on the left uses a linear scale, showing clearly an exponential trend. The graph on the right, however uses a logarithmic scale, which generates a straight...

Caliper(s) or calliper(s) are an instrument used to measure the linear dimensions of an object or hole; namely, the length, width, thickness, diameter...

injury ("coma scales") were developed, though none were widely adopted. Of 13 scales that had been published by 1974, all involved linear scales that defined...

on a linear scale, the knee is an illusion that depends on the scale of y-axis representing current. In a semi-log plot (using a logarithmic scale for...

scale. In scientific and engineering terminology, a device to measure linear distance and create proportional linear measurements is called a scale....

respective Rockwell scale. Larger numbers correspond to harder materials. When testing metals, indentation hardness correlates linearly with tensile strength...

millimeters. Diagonal scale is an important part in Engineering drawings. Circular transversals perform the same function as the linear ones but for circular...
