  NOVA | Elegant Universe | Resonance in Strings | PBS
This is the string's fundamental resonant pattern, or frequency.
Each resonant pattern is a multiple of the fundamental frequency: The fundamental is half of a complete wave, the second harmonic is a complete wave, the third harmonic is one and a half waves, and the fourth harmonic is two waves.
This pattern continues as the speed of the motion being applied to the string increases, theoretically to infinity.

It is as fundamental to our way of thinking as ones and zeros are fundamental to working of a computer.
A pattern is necessary to do a program and it is also a fundamental part of simulation.
The input (which itself is formed by pattern matching) is matched in different 'simulation patterns' to select the most appropriate simulation and then simulation pattern along with the input pattern generate an output pattern.

 WDVL: Perl Pattern Matching: Regular Expressions
Pattern matching is an integral, but somewhat complex, aspect of Perl programming; in fact, pattern matching is the very basis of inspiration for using Perl in many programming tasks.
Like Perl itself, though, pattern matching is complex enough to write a whole book about (in fact, there is just such a book), and you do not need to master every nuance of pattern matching to leverage its basic power.
Rudimentary pattern matching is probably familiar to many readers; in MS-DOS or Unix command lines, for example, you might request a directory listing for "*.txt" -- which, of course, means "all filenames which end with.txt".

 Clan MacGaming - A Gamer's Primer on Fundamental Strategy: Pattern Recognition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Pattern Recognition can be useful to gamer since most games tend to have elements of internal patterns.
When such patterns exist a game is often broken, though a new strategy may change the flow of the game possibly bringing back operational balance between the opposing sides.
This deception does require that your opponent be alert enough to spot a pattern you want him to see and his proceeding to counter it, while you're real plan is to surprise him with a battle he didn't expect.

The fundamental wave pattern or first harmonic will be no. 1, the second harmonic will be no. 2, the third harmonic will be no. 3, and so on.
Since the fundamental pattern is numbered n = 1, we know that n =2 refers to the first overtone.
You should remember from lesson 3.9 that the fundamental pattern was formed in the slinky when your hand was vibrating the slowest.

 Design Patterns
For example, several patterns in the GoF book that work well in Java or C++ are unneeded in languages with a more powerful OO approach; especially the creational patterns, which are very much to do with getting around the problems of constructors in C++, Java, C#, etc., not working just like any other method.
Of course we customize patterns for our own internal use, but given a standard set of unit tests for a pattern, as long as your code passes those tests you are still considered to be using that pattern.
This is a high honor, and reflects as well on all WikiZens interested in patterns, and on WardCunningham and his c2 wiki, devoted as it is (and as Ward is) to PeopleProjectsAndPatterns.

This pattern proposes a solution for some design decisions that have to be taken in order to implement the State pattern, such as the creation and the control of State objects and also the execution of state transitions.
Patterns themselves, like the systems in which they are embedded and repair, must be allowed to evolve in a piecemeal fashion.
These patterns are offered primarily for their face value, but also as an incremental contribution to the piecemeal growth of organisational pattern literature.

Fundamental Patterns for Logic Design Robert F. Zant School of Information Technology Illinois State University Normal, IL 61790, USA Abstract Students new to information technology are often at a loss as to how to transform a problem statement into a program design.
Maris uses one of those patterns, the input-process-output pattern, as the basis for a design tool, a Summary Table, for students to use to collect, classify, and compare the components of a problem statement (Maris, VanLengen, Lucy 2000).
The pattern recognizes that a task typically consists of some actions that are taken initially, followed by actions that are carried out repetitively based on some condition, and then completed by actions that follow the loop.

Symmetry analysis may result in the identification of a fundamental region that is the smallest element required to explain the repetition that forms a pattern.
A tessellation is a pattern formed by the repetition of a single unit or shape that, when repeated, fills the plane with no gaps and no overlaps.
Familiar examples of tessellations are the patterns formed by paving stones or bricks, and cross-sections of beehives.

 Pattern Makers
In this unit, children are introduced to the concept of a pattern - a fundamental notion in mathematics.
These are that patterns involve something that repeats, like ‘clap, shout, clap, shout, clap, …’ or ‘red, blue, yellow, yellow, red, blue, yellow, yellow, red, …’ or ‘5, 8, 11, 14, 17, …’ Now because patterns repeat there must be a rule that describes the repetition.
Pattern tasks are explained and children select the task they wish to do.

 Conversation for Exploration - The Pattern
The Pattern tells the story of Lynnclaire, who returned from the other side of death with a tangible object: a dynamic and luminous holographic matrix that some researchers speculate may be a fundamental pattern of reality.
The story of the Pattern's discovery is as fascinating as the structure itself.
In vivid and often humorous ways, The Pattern provides a gripping account of the events leading up to Lynnclaire's near-death experience and first sighting of the the Pattern, and the subsequent painstaking repair of her nervous system and ultimate recall of the Pattern.

 Overcoming Conditioned Pattern, Repetition and Habit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Patterns exist as periodic oscillations, sometimes simple, sometimes complex - but even the most complex of oscillations can be broken into simple component parts (for the mathematically minded consider this as Fourier analysis).
The word-form sound patterns we hear in speech (and which manifest internally, in imaging in the hearing sense, during verbalised thinking or internal dialogue) comprise a series of systematic complex grunts which were associated in our nervous systems, by repetition (usually by our parents and siblings), to objective sensory experience in us as young children.
'Pattern', in the broad context, means ANY pattern - sonic, visual, kinaesthetic (physical body feeling), olfactory (scent) or gustatory (taste) that repeatedly impinges on and thus affects the human physical sensory/nervous as a whole The term includes internally generated imaging in the form of visualization, non-verbal sound imaging and internal dialogue.

These patterns are interlocked with certain geometric patterns in the space in question and it is out of these patterns that our environment is effectively constructed.
It is extremely probable, both in the socio-organizational and in the conceptual case, that many patterns already exist and simply need to be reconsidered as part of a pattern language which each is able to explore and develop in his own way.
It is clear that the vocabulary used to identify the parallel patterns is barbaric compared to the poetry of Alexander's elegant presentation.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Email and letter writing share fundamental pattern
But researchers have now found the pattern of their replies is the same as that of computer users answering email today, with both following the same mathematical formula.
The pattern could reflect some basic biological encoding that shows up in everything from humans at work to birds foraging for food, according to Albert-László Barabási, a physicist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, US.
To describe the pattern, Barabási created a mathematical model in which people prioritise their emails, then respond to the high priority emails quickly and the low-priority emails more slowly.

 Enterprise Integration Patterns - Introduction
Patterns don’t live in isolation; the application of one pattern usually leads you to new problems that are solved by other patterns.
The beauty in describing solutions as patterns is that it not only teaches the reader how to solve the specific problems discussed, but also how to create designs that solve problems the authors were not even aware of.
In turn, each of these root patterns leads to its own chapter in the book (except Pipes and Filters, which is not specific to messaging but is the basis of the routing and transformation patterns).

 Application Development Trends - Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture
The Reactor pattern relies on the principle of "inversion of control" and pushes application or service-handler development to the edges of the design; the reactor itself is responsible for handling indication events.
The Reactor pattern is not used in isolation.
In combination, the patterns form a rich pattern language that can describe the detailed, internal workings of server processes concisely and meaningfully; they allow developers and architects to talk in high-level terms about potential designs and their consequences.

 Bug patterns: An introduction
Bug patterns are related to anti-patterns, which are patterns of common software designs that have been proven to fail time and again.
Along with each pattern, I'll discuss programming principles that will help minimize the occurrence of that particular pattern (not to imply that all bugs are the result of a failure to follow some programming principle; we all make mistakes, regardless of how many principles we follow).
The most common symptom of this pattern of bug is a program that continues to exhibit erroneous behavior after you believe you've fixed the problem.

 Strategy for success
The Strategy design pattern embodies two fundamental tenets of object-oriented (OO) design: encapsulate the concept that varies and program to an interface, not an implementation.
In Chapter 1 of the Gang of Four's (GOF) Design Patterns, the authors discuss several OO design principles comprising the core of many patterns.
The Strategy pattern lets you build software as a loosely coupled collection of interchangeable parts, in contrast to a monolithic, tightly coupled system.

They are thus fundamentally different from the long-term, weight-competition rules and from the nonspecific or pooled link interactions used previously by several researchers.
For instance, when a network learns to represent the input pattern "Joe is a small boy," it can simultaneously learn to represent "Joe is a little boy," even though "little" was not part of the input.
This capability is useful in invariant pattern recognition; when the network learns to recognize an object presented in one location, it simultaneously learns to recognize it in all locations.

 ToBI: 2. More on the tone tier
Since creaky voice is typically characterized by very irregular glottal periods (i.e., the fundamental frequency is physically not well-defined), pitch-tracking algorithms often do not do well during these portions of the utterance, creating a messy `spattering' of values, like that seen in the f0 trace between 4.95 and 5.08 seconds in <>.
The leading L tone in L+H* is meant to transcribe a rise from a fundamental frequency value low in the pitch range that cannot be attributed to a L* pitch accent on the preceding syllable or to a L- phrase accent or L% boundary tone at a preceding intermediate-phrase or intonation-phrase boundary.
That is, %H contrasts with the default (unmarked) initial pattern, which in absolute utterance-initial position tends to start in the middle part of the speaker's pitch range (as opposed to beginning of utterance-medial intonation phrases, where the pitch simply continues from the value at which the previous phrase ended).
