To say that Figure F is inscribed in figure G means precisely the same thing as figure G is circumscribed about figure F . A circle or ellipse inscribed in a convex polygon or a sphere or ellipsoid inscribed in a convex polyhedron is tangent to every side of the outer figure but see Inscribed sphere for semantic variants . A polygon inscribed in a circle, ellipse, or polygon or a polyhedron inscribed in a sphere, ellipsoid, or polyhedron has each vertex on the outer figure if the outer figure is a polygon or polyhedron, there must be a vertex of the inscribed polygon or polyhedron on each side of the outer figure. Familiar examples include circle s inscribed in triangle s or regular polygon s, and triangles or regular polygons inscribed in circles. An inscribed figure is not necessarily unique in orientation this can easily be seen, for example, when the given outer figure is a circle, in which case a rotation of an inscribed figure gives another inscribed figure that is congruent to the original one. The definition given above assumes that the objects concerned are embedded in two or three dimension al Euclidean space , but can easily be generalized to higher dimensions and other metric space s. The inradius or filling radius of a given outer figure is the radius of the inscribed circle or sphere, if it exists. Facts about inscribed figures Every circle has an inscribed triangle with any three given angle measures summing of course to 180 , and every triangle can be inscribed in some circle which is called its circumscribed circle .

Noise figure NF is a measure of degradation of the signal to noise ratio SNR , caused by components in a radio frequency RF Signal chain signal processing chain signal chain .

The noise figure is thus the ratio of actual output noise to that which would remain if the device itself did not introduce noise.

Wikify date November 2011 The Figure in the Carpet is a short story published in 1896 in London by American writer Henry James . The short story is usually referred to as a novella and is told from first person. The narrator, whose name is never revealed, meets his favorite author and becomes entrenched in the mystery that is the figure in the carpet. Plot The narrator, a writer, prides himself on his astute review of Hugh Vereker s latest novel. Vereker dismisses his efforts, explaining that all critics have missed my little point, the particular thing I ve written my books most for, the thing for the critic to find, my secret, like a complex figure in a Persian carpet. The narrator racks his brains and, in desperation, tells his friend Corvick of the puzzle. Corvick and his novelist fianc e, Gwendolyn, pursue the trick without success until Corvick, traveling alone in India, wires Gwendolyn and the narrator Eureka Immense. He refuses, however, to divulge the secret to Gwendolyn until after they are married, and then dies in an accident. Since Gwendolyn refuses to share her knowledge, the narrator speculates, the figure in the carpet was traceable or describable only for husbands and wives for lovers supremely united. She remarries, and after her death, the narrator approaches her new husband to discover the secret. But he is surprised and humiliated by the news of his wife s great secret, and he and the narrator conclude by sharing the same throbbing curiosity. The secret is ultimately never told but the reader can only infer it is in fact that there is no real secret. Vereker s description is that its very simple and Corvick holds the key but refuses to tell the narrator. Gwendolyn assures the narrator that it is her life. Readers and commentators have speculated about the secret, but the brute fact is that James doesn t tell it, if, indeed, he actually had something ... name The Figure in the Carpet DEFAULTSORT Figure in the Carpet, The Category 1896 short stories Category ... more details

About the psychology term the song by George Michael Father Figure song unreferenced date November 2011 A father figure is usually an older man, normally one with power, authority, or strength, with whom one can identify with on a deeply psychology psychological level and who generates emotions generally felt towards one s father. Despite the literal term father , a father figure is not limited to the biological parent of a person, especially a child. Studies have shown that a lack of a father figure in a child s life can have severe negative psychological impacts upon a child s personality and psychology. Many infamous serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy have backgrounds of extreme abuse, or simply no recognition, during their childhood from their fathers. Positive father figures have a significant role in a child s development. Under the circumstances of child abuse and neglect , it is not uncommon for a child to seek out a parental figure as a substitute proxy for the deficit of love and care at home. These proxies in children s cases are used to fulfill the need and want of a parent who can protect them from harm, which is usually driven by an Unconscious mind unconscious need for safety and a defective Oedipus Complex . Unfortunately, many sexual assault cases have been linked to this kind of behavior, which can lead to fatal obsession and possessiveness. Several studies have suggested that positive father figures, whether biological fathers or others, are generally associated with healthy child development.

A figure of merit is a quantity used to characterize the performance of a device, system or method, relative to its alternatives. In engineering, figures of merit are often defined for particular materials or devices in order to determine their relative utility for an application. In commerce, such figures are often used as a marketing tool to convince consumers to choose a particular brand. Examples Clock rate of a CPU Calorie s per serving Contrast ratio of an LCD Frequency response of a Loudspeaker speaker Fill factor of a solar cell Image resolution Resolution of the image sensor in a digital camera Detection performance of a sonar system Noise figure of a radio receiver The thermoelectric effect thermoelectric figure of merit, Z, a material constant proportional to the efficiency of a thermoelectric couple made with the material The figure of merit of digital to analog converter DAC is calculated as Power dissipation 2 ENOB Effective Bandwidth J Hz .
