A suppressor grid is also called the antidynatron grid, as it helps to reduce the dynatron effect. Placement In its simplest form, a suppressor grid, typically of coarse structure, is interposed between the screen grid and the anode Plate electrode plate of a tetrode , turning it into a pentode . Electrical connection of grid The suppressor grid is usually connected to the cathode and more often than not, this connection is made within the glass envelope.

confusing date September 2011 The Semantic Grid refers to an approach to Grid computing in which information, computing resources and services are described using the semantic data model . In this model the data and metadata are expressed through facts small sentences . Therefore it becomes directly understandable for humans. This makes it easier for resources to be discovered and joined up automatically, which helps bring resources together to create Virtual Organization Grid computing Virtual Organizations VOs . The descriptions constitute metadata and are typically represented using the technologies of the Semantic Web , such as the Resource Description Framework RDF . By analogy with the Semantic Web, the Semantic Grid can be defined as an extension of the current Grid in which information and services are given well defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. This notion of the Semantic Grid was first articulated in the context of e Science , observing that such an approach is necessary to achieve a high degree of easy to use and seamless automation enabling flexible collaborations and computations on a global scale. The use of Semantic Web and other knowledge technologies in Grid applications is sometimes described as the Knowledge Grid . Semantic Grid extends this by also applying these technologies within the Grid middleware .

Grids of this type appear on graph paper and may be used in finite element analysis as well as finite volume method s and finite difference method s. Since the derivatives of field variables can be conveniently expressed as finite differences, structured grids mainly appear in finite difference methods. Unstructured grid s offer more flexibility than structured grids and hence are very useful in finite element and finite volume methods. Each cell in the grid can be addressed by index i, j in two dimension s or i, j, k in three dimensions, and each vertex geometry vertex has coordinate s math i cdot dx, j cdot dy math in 2D or math i cdot dx, j cdot dy, k cdot dz math in 3D for some real numbers dx , dy , and dz representing the grid spacing. Related grids A Cartesian grid is a special case where the elements are unit square s or unit cube s, and the vertices are integer point s. A rectilinear grid is a tessellation by rectangles or parallelepipeds that are not, in general, all congruence geometry congruent to each other. The cells may still be indexed by integers as above, but the mapping from indexes to vertex coordinates is less uniform than in a regular grid.

The grid defines geographic space as an array of equally sized Square geometry square grid points arranged in rows and columns.

expert subject date March 2011 A grid network is a kind of computer network consisting of a number of computer systems connected in a grid topology. In a regular grid topology, each node in the network is connected with two neighbors along one or more dimension s. If the network is one dimensional, and the chain of nodes is connected to form a circular loop, the resulting topology is known as a ring. Network systems such as Fiber distributed data interface FDDI use two counter rotating token passing rings to achieve high reliability and performance. In general, when an n dimensional grid network is connected circularly in more than one dimension, the resulting network topology is a torus , and the network is called toroidal . When the number of nodes along each dimension of a toroidal network is 2, the resulting network is called a hypercube . A parallel computing cluster or multi core processor is often connected in regular interconnection network such as a de Bruijn graph , ref http www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk bitstream 1842 860 1 Spadavecchia thesis.pdf A Network based Asynchronous Architecture for Cryptographic Devices by Ljiljana Spadavecchia 2005. section 5.6.1.2 De Bruijn graphs , and section 5.6.2.2 Randomised routing in de Bruijn graphs . ref a hypercube graph , a hypertree network , a fat tree network, a torus , or cube connected cycles .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A tension grid is a type of non standard Catwalk theater catwalk though it does not meet the structural standards of a traditional catwalk. It is composed of a tightly stretched grid of steel cables that create a taut floor that is strong enough for technicians to walk on. Benefits Lighting instruments can be hung on a pipe grid just above the tension grid there is no need for holes, as the Stage lighting instrument light can shine through the grid, virtually unobstructed, to the stage. Cables and electrical wires can pass through, and special fixtures may be used to allow beams and other solid material to pass through. This style of catwalk is popular in new and remodeled theatres due to the flexibility it provides. Use of a tension grid does not require working off of edges as a traditional catwalk does, as lights are over the walking surface, not next to it. As a result, many consider tension grids safer in terms of risk of falling. Costs Tension grids require regular inspection. Lights shining through the tension grid light up a section of the grid itself, which some audience members find distracting. The cables of the grid absorb and redirect some of the light from a fixture, leading to a negligible loss in total light output. Working on a tension grid takes time to get used to because of the bouncing nature from walking across the surface. This motion coupled with the illusion of no floor at times makes it disconcerting to some.
