In one form, it looks like a pegboard with tags. Created by Alfred Korzybski , and awarded a U.S. patent on May 26, 1925, it is used as a training device in general semantics . The device is intended to show that our knowledge of, or acquaintance with, anything is partial, not total. The model The structural differential consists of three basic objects. The parabola represents a domain beyond our direct observation, the sub microscopic, dynamic world of molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, quarks, and so on a world known to us only inferentially from science. Korzybski described it as an event in the sense of an instantaneous cross section of a process. Thus the event or parabola represents the sub microscopic stuff that, at any given moment, constitutes an apple. In other words, the parabola represents the external cause of what we experience. The disc represents the non verbal result of our nervous systems reacting to submicroscopic stuff, e.g., the apple that we see, hold, bite into, all on the non verbal levels of experience. The disc represents what we experience of our surroundings versus what our surroundings actually are. The labels usually seven or eight are linked together in a chain, with the last one attached back to the parabola, but here we see just one are shaped like suitcase labels, and represent the static world of words, e.g., apple, giving imperfect ... by harmful bacteria that we could see only on microscopic levels.

In mathematics , K hler differentials provide an adaptation of differentialform s to arbitrary commutative ring s or scheme mathematics scheme s. Presentation The idea was introduced by Erich K hler in the 1930s. It was adopted as standard, in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry , somewhat later, following the need to adapt methods from geometry over the complex number s, and the free use of calculus methods, to contexts where such methods are not available. Let R and S be commutative rings and R S a ring homomorphism . An important example is for R a Field mathematics field and S a unital associative algebra algebra over R such as the coordinate ring of an affine variety . An R linear derivation on S is a morphism of R modules math mathrm d colon S to M math with R in its kernel, and satisfying Leibniz rule math mathrm d fg f mathrm , mathrm dg g , mathrm df math . The module of K hler differentials is defined as the R linear derivation math mathrm d colon S to Omega S R math that factors all others. Construction The idea is now to give a universal construction of a derivation abstract algebra derivation d S &rarr &Omega sup 1 sup sub S R sub over R , where sup 1 sup sub S R sub is an S Module mathematics module , which is a purely algebraic analogue of the exterior derivative . This means that d is a homomorphism of R modules such that d st s d t t d s for all s and t in S , and d is the best possible such derivation in the sense that any other derivation may be obtained from it by composition with an S module homomorphism. The actual construction of sup 1 sup sub S R sub and d can proceed by introducing formal generators d s for s in S , and imposing the relations ... K hler differentials and differential algebra.

In game theory , differential games are a group of problems related to the modeling and analysis of conflict in the context of a dynamical system. The problem usually consists of two actors, a pursuer and an evader, with conflicting goals. The dynamics of the pursuer and the evader are modeled by systems of differential equations. Differential games are related closely with optimal control problems. In an optimal control problem there is single control math u t math and a single criterion to be optimized differential game theory generalizes this to two controls math u t ,v t math and two criteria, one for each player. Each player attempts to control the state of the system so as to achieve his goal the system responds to the inputs of both players. The first to study differential games was Rufus Isaacs game theorist Rufus Isaacs 1951, published 1965 ref Rufus Isaacs, Differential Games , Dover, 1999. ISBN 0486406822 http books.google.com books?id XIxmMyIQgm0C Google Books ref and one of the first games analyzed was the Homicidal chauffeur problem homicidal chauffeur game .

Unreferenced date November 2006 Differential TTL is a type of binary electronics electrical Signalling telecommunication signaling based on the Transistor transistor logic TTL transistor transistor logic standard. Normal TTL signals are single ended , which means that each signal consists of a voltage on one wire, referenced to a system Ground electricity ground . The low voltage level is zero to 0.8 volts, and the high voltage level is 2 volts to 5 volts. A differential TTL signal consists of two such wires, also referenced to a system ground. The logic level on one wire is always the complement of the other. The principle is similar to that of low voltage differential signaling LVDS , but with different voltage levels, and even more similar to the RS 422 standard. Differential TTL is used in preference to single ended TTL for long distance signaling. In a long cable, stray electromagnetic field s in the environment, or stray electric current currents in the system ground, can induce unwanted voltages that cause errors at the receiver. With a differential pair of wires, roughly the same unwanted voltage is induced in each wire. The receiver subtracts the voltages on the two wires, so that the unwanted voltage disappears, and only the voltage created by the driver remains. A second advantage of differential TTL, when correctly terminated, is that the differential pair of wires forms a current loop. The driver sources a current from the power supply into one wire. This current passes along the wire to the receiver, through the termination resistor and back up the other wire, then back through the driver and down to ground. No net current is exchanged between the driver and receiver, which means that none of the signal current has to return through the ground connection if there is one ... connection, which might upset other circuits attached to it. Differential TTL is the most common type of high voltage differential signaling HVDS . Applications Differential TTL signaling ... more details

Differential display also referred to as DDRT PCR or DD PCR is the technique where a researcher can compare and identify changes in gene expression at the mRNA level between any pair of eukaryotic cell samples. The assay may be extended to more than one pair, if needed. The paired samples will have morphological, genetic or other experimental differences for which the researcher wishes to study the gene expression patterns, hoping to elucidate the root cause of the particular difference or specific genes that are affected by the experiment. The concept of differential display is to use a limited number of short arbitrary primers in combination with the anchored oligo dT primers to systematically amplify and visualize most of the mRNA in a cell. Since its invention in the early 1990s, differential display has become one of the most commonly used techniques for identifying differentially expressed genes at the mRNA level. Different streamlined DD PCR protocols have been proposed including fluorescent DD process as well as radioactive labeling, which offers high accuracy and readout. In the mid 2000 s, differential display and RNAse protection assay were superseeded by DNA Microarrays , RNA seq and qRT PCR . References 1. Liang, P. & Pardee, A.B.

Differential hardening is a method used in forging sword s and knife knives to increase the hardness of the edge without making the whole blade brittle . To achieve this, the edge is cooled more rapidly than the spine by adding a heat insulator to the spine before quenching . Clay or another material is used for insulation. It can also be achieved by carefully pouring water perhaps already heated onto the edge of a blade as is the case with the manufacture of some kukri . Differential hardening technology was perfected in China and later spread to Korea and Japan. This technique is mainly used in the Chinese jian and the katana , the traditional Japan ese sword, and the khukuri , the traditional Nepal ese knife. Most blades made with this technique have visible temper lines. Another process, often referred to as differential hardening, but in reality differential tempering can also be obtained by quenching the object uniformly, then differentially tempering one part of it with a torch or some other directed heat source.

Differential Staining is a general term that can refer to a number of specific processes. Generally, it is used to describe staining processes which use more than one chemical stain . Using multiple stains can better differentiate between different microorganisms or structures cellular components of a single organism. Differential Staining also describes medical process used to detect abnormalities in the proportion of different white blood cells in the blood . The process or results are called a WBC differential. This test is useful because many diseases alter the proportion of certain white blood cells . By analyzing these differences in combination with a clinical exam and other lab tests, medical professionals can diagnose disease. One commonly recognizable use of differential staining is the Gram stain . Gram staining uses two dyes Crystal violet and Fuchsin the counterstain to differentiate between Gram positive bacteria large Peptidoglycan layer on outer surface of cell and Gram negative bacteria.

Refimprove date December 2008 File Differential linearity.svg thumb right Demonstrates A. Differential Linearity where a change in the input produces a corresponding change in output and B. Differential Non linearity, where the relationship is not directly linear Differential nonlinearity acronym DNL is a term describing the deviation between two analog values corresponding to adjacent input digital values. It is an important specification for measuring error in a digital to analog converter DAC the accuracy of a DAC is mainly determined by this specification. Ideally, any two adjacent digital codes correspond to output analog voltages that are exactly one Least significant bit Least Significant Bit LSB apart. Differential non linearity is a measure of the worst case deviation from the ideal 1 LSB step. For example, a DAC with a 1.5 LSB output change for a 1 LSB digital code change exhibits 1 2 LSB differential non linearity. Differential non linearity may be expressed in fractional bits or as a percentage of full scale. A differential non linearity greater than 1 LSB may lead to a non monotonic transfer function in a DAC. ref INL and DNL definitions A DNL error specification of less than or equal to 1LSB guarantees a monotonic transfer function with no missing codes. http www.maxim ic.com app notes index.mvp id 283 ref It is also known as a missing code . Differential linearity refers to a constant relation between the change in the output and input. For transducer s if a change in the input produces a uniform step change in the output the tranducer possess differential linearity. Differential linearity is desirable and is inherent to a system such as a single slope analog to digital convertor used in Particle detector nuclear instrumentation .

The main purpose of the electronic differential is to replace the Differential mechanical device mechanical differential in multi drive systems, providing the required torque for each driving wheel and allowing different wheel speeds. When cornering, the inner and outer wheels rotate at different speeds, because the inner wheels describe a smaller turning radius. The electronic differential uses the steering wheel command signal and the motor speed signals to control the power to each wheel so that all wheels have the maximum torque they need. Functional description The classical automobile drive train is composed by a single Internal combustion engine motor providing torque to one or more driving wheels. The most common solution is to use a mechanical device to distribute torque to the wheels. This Differential mechanical device mechanical differential allows different wheel speeds when cornering. With the emergence of electric vehicle s new drive train configurations are possible. Multi drive systems become easy to implement due to the large power density of electric motor s. These systems, usually with one motor per driving wheel, need an additional top level controller which performs the same task as a mechanical differential. The ED scheme has several advantages over a mechanical differential ref cite web url http ieeexplore.ieee.org search srchabstract.jsp?arnumber 1339466&isnumber 29535&punumber 41&k2dockey 1339466 ieeejrns&query 28 uot 3Cin 3Emetadata 29&pos 1 title Future vehicle driven by electricity and Control research ref simplicity it avoids additional mechanical parts such as a gearbox or clutch independent torque for each wheel allows additional capabilities e.g., traction control system traction control , stability control reconfigurable it is reprogrammable ... differential. faster response times accurate knowledge of traction torque per wheel.
