	Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are grouped by orders of magnitude, and each section covers three orders of magnitude, or a factor of one thousand.
		Modern high-powered diesel-electric railroad locomotives typically have a peak power output of 3–5 MW, whereas a typical modern nuclear power plant produces on the order of 500–2000 MW peak output.

	Talk:Order of magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If others feel that "powers of ten" is too precise, perhaps something more winded like "an order of magnitude is a range of numbers that differ from a power of 10 by a factor of order 1 (a single digit number)" would be better.
		My other point is that "order of magnitude" is sometimes used in mathematics to mean "asymptotic to".
		For extremely large numbers, a generalized order of magnitude can be based on their double logarithm or super-logarithm.

	IT-Director.com: IBM Expects Moore's Law to Persist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"The power of computers has increased by six orders of magnitude in the last 36 years and it will increase by a further six orders of magnitude in the next 36 years", claimed Nick Donofrio, IBM's Senior VP of Technology and Manufacturing to an audience of IT analysts at IBM Pallisades.
		'Six orders of magnitude' is a math-speak for "a million-fold" so Nick was telling us on the one hand what we already knew, that Moore's Law has been operating since the late 1960s, and on the other hand, professing a belief that it would continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
		This is the broad extension of the use of sensor devices in cars in order to optimise engine performance, except of course that sensors will be embedded everywhere, allowing the optimised behaviour of just about any device you can think of in conjunction with any other.

	Finesse Voltage Regulator Noise!
		The effective emitter resistance is on the order of 0.25 ohms so an emitter resistor near 0.75 ohms is needed for a series-pass 1 ohm resistor.
		The values are not critical except that the gain of the amplifier should be very near the ratio of the transistor emitter resistor to the series shunt resistor.
		The ultimate rejection of the circuit is better than the apparent rejection in the plot; low frequency performance is impacted by the size of the coupling capacitors and the noise floor is limited by the performance of the LM833 and resistor noise.

	Orders of Magnitude, Chapter 3
		Although a centrifugal type powered the world's first gas turbine aircraft flight by the He-178 in 1939, the axial-flow jet, more efficient and capable of greater thrust, was used in the Me-262 fighters that entered service in the autumn of 1944.
		In America, the idea of jet propulsion had surfaced as early as 1923, when an engineer at the Bureau of Standards wrote a paper on the subject, which was published by the NACA.
		There was general agreement that the wings would be thinner than normal in order to delay the formation of shock waves.

	5-watt tube amps are still as loud as a trumpet! 50 mW is needed for 1/8 the volume of 50 W
		So, we need to reduce power by orders of magnitude: from 50 watts not merely down to 15 watts, but rather, to 5 watts.
		You have every reason to consider reducing the power by yet another order of magnitude -- it's what home jammers want, even if they are confused about what they want and think that more power is better even as they complain about needing quieter amps.
		To say that "tube power amps have gradual onset of distortion", which everyone agrees with, is immediately to say or imply that a tube amp and solid-state amp will have different wattage at a high % distortion though they have the same wattage at a low % distortion.

	Low-Power Signal Processing System Design for Wireless Applications
		The main contribution to power consumption in complementary metal oxide (CMOS) circuits is attributed to the charging and discharging of parasitic capacitors that occur during logical transitions.
		In order to guarantee constant data flow at the chip output, behavioral simulation using Verilog was performed with worst-case input data to carefully determine the FIFO sizes.
		Finally, the power consumed in external accesses is a relatively small fraction, approximately 30 percent, because the design limits off-chip accesses to only compressed data at both the input and output pins.

		Eventually, the station might add solar-dynamic power generators and two vertical spines, located on either side of the module cluster and joined by upper and lower booms, providing additional attachment points for external scientific equipment.
		The original tunnel's fans were replaced with six units that increased available power by four times and raised the speed of the original tunnel from 230 to 345 MPH.
		The new addition, with a speed of 115 MPH, was an open-circuit tunnel, using one leg of the original tunnel as the air was drawn through the bank of six fans.

		So what he meant was that there's a whole lot of junk out there, and that the size distribution of that junk is such that, say, objects that are twice as large might be twice as uncommon.
		My manager was trained as a condensed matter physicist before moving over to web search, and he said he was stunned when he first saw one of the graphs showing how some host attribute or another (like number of pages on a host) varied with number of hosts.
		He says that there is no way to get a power law like that in condensed matter physics - it's basically the study of crystals, and crystals aren't available in such a wide range of sizes.

		When I was younger I was fascinated by an essay "Cosmic View" by Kees Boeke and a book called The Powers of Ten, written by Philip and Phyllis Morrison and the Office of Charles and Ray Eames.

	Adaptive Models for Input Data Compaction for Power Simulators - Marculescu, Marculescu, Pedram (ResearchIndex)
		Abstract: This paper presents an effective and robust technique for compacting a large sequence of input vectors into a much smaller input sequence so as to reduce the circuit/gate level simulation time by orders of magnitude and maintain the accuracy of the power estimates.
		In particular, this paper introduces and characterizes a family of dynamic Markov trees that can model complex spatiotemporal correlations which occur during power estimation both in combinational and sequential circuits.

	Orders of magnitude
		To help students understand orders of magnitude, and also perhaps to brighten up physics teaching for years 10 to 13, the UK Institute of Physics' Post-16 Physics Initiative has devised a competition for students to design a poster illustrating the key orders of magnitude of the units used in science.
		It is hoped that some of the winning designs will eventually be used to produce a set of posters for laboratory walls.
		Students are being asked to design an A3 poster bearing a logarithmic scale running from the very biggest to the very smallest size for a quantity of their choice.
