	Coordinates (mathematics) Summary
		In the polar coordinate system a single axis, or a polar axis, extends indefinitely from the origin, known in the polar coordinate system as the pole.
		The cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional polar coordinate system.
		The spherical coordinate system is a three-dimensional polar coordinate system.

	Time Supplement [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		A reference system is a reference frame plus either a coordinate system or an atlas of coordinate systems placed by the analyst upon the space to uniquely name the points.
		For 4-d spacetime obeying special relativity, a coordinate system is a grid of smooth timelike and spacelike curves on the spacetime that assigns to each point three space coordinate numbers and one time coordinate number.
		Inertial frames can have global coordinate systems, but if we are working with general relativity where we cannot assume inertial frames, then the best we can do is to assign a coordinate system to a small region of spacetime where the laws of special relativity hold to a good approximation.

	Swiss coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swiss coordinate system (or Swiss grid) is a geographic coordinate system used in Switzerland for maps and surveying by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography (Swisstopo).
		All coordinates are always positive, since Switzerland is located in the 1st quadrant of the coordinate system.
		The easting and northing is increased by 2 mio/1 mio.

	The Swiss Transportation Troops
		Swiss Army forces are divided into combat troops, combat support troops, and logistics troops.
		The primary modes of transportation for the Swiss Army are rail and highway.
		Swiss rail operations are relatively simple compared to American rail operations, especially when it comes to rail loads.

	FDL - AP Archives: "Notes on Swiss Direct Democracy"
		The most important elements in the Swiss Confederation are the cantons that initially formed the Confederation and created the communes on their territory.
		Every Swiss citizen is entitled to take part in these elections, either as a voter or as a candidate provided he or she is at least 20 years of age.
		Swiss trade unions are notable in that they are very enduring, stable organizations, universally recognized, and fully integrated into the political process.

	swissinfo - New poll shows Swiss are critical of education system
		The Swiss are more critical of their education system than a decade ago and expect reforms, according to a survey.
		The results come as the Swiss prepare to vote later this month on a constitutional article calling on cantons to cooperate more closely on education and giving the federal authorities a bigger say in the running of the system.
		More than half of Swiss asked believe that schools turn out too many students who are not prepared for the real world and most Swiss (around 70 per cent) say there is not enough discipline in schools.

	Using GPS with Topographic Maps
		They may well mention 'other' coordinate systems but their thrust is for the most widely used one familiar to the mariner...
		But these maps use the UTM coordinate system and, though a few cross-reference points to latitude and longitude are marked on the maps, it's difficult to correlate a latitude/longitude position with a position on the UTM map.
		Basically it's a coordinate system with a 1,000 meter grid square overlaying a topographic map (which from my basic military training over 44 years ago was defined as "a graphical representation of a portion of the earth's surface").

	CSS - Fonts as interpreted by Dennis G German
		System fonts may only be set as a whole; that is, the font family, size, weight, style, etc. are all set at the same time.These values may then be altered individually if desired.
		As for regular fonts, if, for a system font, any of the individual properties are not part of the operating system's available user preferences, those properties should be set to their initial values.

	BASIC Stamp: CORDIC math
		The coordinates are first rotated by an angle of 45 degrees (tan H = +/- 1) the direction being counterclockwise if y>0 and clockwise if y<0.
		While the y value is reduced to zero in the final coordinate system, the x value is, in the end, and after adjustment by a constant scale factor, equal to the length of the original vector, SQR(x^2+y^2).
		In the calculation of the arctangent and length of the vector, it is the coordinate y that is minimized, while in the calculation of the sine and cosine, it is the difference between the given angle and the rotated angle that is minimized.

	Coordinate Systems (Spatial Reference Systems) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		With coordinate system support in Oracle Spatial, you can freely convert data from one coordinate system to another coordinate system, and Spatial functions, operators, and utilities provide correct and unambiguous results in whatever coordinate system the data is stored, particularly relating to measurements on the Earth's surface.
		Cartesian coordinates are coordinates that measure the position of a point from a defined origin along axes that are perpendicular in the represented two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.
		As a workaround, first transform the geometries of interest to a projection coordinate system that is conformant to the local space of the geometries.

	Coordinate Systems (Spatial Reference Systems)
		Cartesian coordinates are coordinates that measure the position of a point from a defined origin along axes that are perpendicular in the represented two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.
		Geodetic coordinates (sometimes called geographic coordinates) are angular coordinates (longitude and latitude), closely related to spherical polar coordinates, and are defined relative to a particular Earth geodetic datum (described in Section 5.1.6).
		Local coordinate systems are often used in CAD systems, and they can also be used in local surveys where the relationship between the surveyed site and the rest of the world is not important.

	STINGER/AVENGER
		FY 83 In its evaluation of candidates for the interim lightweight air defense system (I-LADS), the Army Air Defense Artillery Center found that the STINGER, augmented by a gun, was consistently the most effective system.
		October 84 MICOM supported the USAF in its demonstration of another mobile weapon system (MWS), consisting of an ATAS launcher and a 30mm GAU-13 cannon mounted on a light armored vehicle, by negotiating a lease agreement with General Dynamics for prototype ATAS launchers for use on the MWS.
		January 85 Although AMC initially instructed MICOM to proceed with the procurement of the AVENGER system from Boeing, the command informed the contractor during this month that its unsolicited proposal of October 84 could not be accepted because of the lack of requirements or funding for the system in FY 85.

	AST 101 - FALL 2003 - Course Pack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		One, the celestial coordinate system, marks the positions of the stars on the sky.
		For cataloguing the positions of stars, it is desirable to have a coordinate system fixed to the stars, where both coordinates are unchanging, rather than a system fixed to the observer, who is actually in motion because of the Earth's rotation.
		This is a nuisance requiring a rather straightforward calculation when the coordinates of a star are needed for a certain night, but its position has been given on a map, or in a catalogue of positions, for a different time.

	[ELGIN] A Short History of American Watch Making
		The Swiss, on the other hand, had a flair for the fashions that were desired by the rest of Europe and the world.
		The Swiss made a very wide range of watches, from cheap junk to very high quality complicated watches, although few were as accurate as the English.
		This became known as the "American System of Manufacturing." By the 1860s-1870s the American watch companies had proved that this system could make watches that were every bit as good as all but the best watches that were made by hand.

	swisstopo: Swiss map projections
		During the establishment of LV95 and in view of increasing European collaboration, it became evident that a second map projection (UTM) was required for use outside of Switzerland and also for global applications.
		The projection and the mathematical model developed by M. Rosenmund in 1903 are used for the Swiss reference system CH1903.
		Whoever wants to use Swiss geodata in a GIS system which doesn’t directly support the “Swiss Grid” must may special attention to the additional information.

	CSS - Font Selection; as interpreted by Dennis G German
		Some systems treat adornments relating to condensed or expanded faces as if they were part of the family name.
		The PANOSE system consists of a set of ten numbers that categorize the key attributes of a Latin typeface, a classification procedure for creating those numbers, and Mapper software that determines the closest possible font match given a set of typefaces.
		The system could, with modification, also be used for Greek and Cyrillic, but is not suitable for unicameral and ideographic scripts (Hebrew, Armenian, Arabic, Chinese/Japanese/Korean).

	[No title]
		For many such applications, coordinates are required to implement sophisticated control laws.
		However since the processors have no knowledge of their location or the orientation of their neighbors, the challenge is for the processors to self organise a logical coordinate system that maps, under some affine transformation, to the physical placement of the processors.

		In device coordinates the origin is located at the upper left corner of the canvas, the positive x-axis runs across the top of the canvas, the positive y-axis runs backwards down the left edge of the canvas, and units are measured in pixels.
		This is because the canvas is a subset of the fourth quadrant of the MM_LOENGLISH coordinate system:
		In this case logical coordinates of the canvas are mapped to device coordinates, then points outside the client rectangle of the view are clipped.
