In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ distribution), also known as the unit impulse, [1] is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one.
Delta at its initial peak intensity as a Category 4 hurricane on October 6. Delta attained its peak intensity by 18:00 UTC with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (220 km/h) and a barometric pressure of 953 mbar (28.14 inHg). Delta had intensified by 105 mph (165 km/h) in over 36 hours, which only four other tropical cyclones had been able to ...
In June 1962, William Pattison and his business partners opened the 68-room Delport Inn in Richmond, BC. [2] That September, Western Hotels changed the location name to the Vancouver Airport Inn, [3] and assumed the management until January 1964.

The DC-X, short for Delta Clipper or Delta Clipper Experimental, was an uncrewed prototype of a reusable single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle built by McDonnell Douglas in conjunction with the United States Department of Defense's Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) from 1991 to 1993.
A compound prism is a set of multiple triangular prism elements placed in contact, and often cemented together to form a solid assembly. [1] The use of multiple elements gives several advantages to an optical designer: [2]
A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.
The wing and rear horizontal control surfaces of the base F-16A were replaced with a cranked-arrow delta wing 115% larger than the original wing. [15] Extensive use of graphite-bismaleimide composites allowed the savings of 595 pounds (270 kg) of weight, [ 16 ] but the F-16XL-1 and XL-2 were 4,100 pounds (1,900 kg) and 5,600 pounds (2,500 kg ...
