In marketing and business strategy , proximitymapping is a technique used by IBM , McKinsey and other corporations to illustrate the relative closeness of market segments or characteristics in a two dimensional space typically a sheet of paper or a presentation slide. Examples Adjacent Markets Here, for example, is a proximity map of the IT market in the UK, based on 2004 values Image UK IT market.jpg right thumb 480px Proximity map of the UK IT market The map was constructed in response to the often repeated statement that Dell, Inc. expands into adjacent markets. Historically, such statements have tended not to be supported by an explanation of what an adjacent market might be, leaving many with the tautologous feeling that an adjacent market is simply one that Dell expands into. This map was constructed on the basis that, given any pair of IT markets, the more vendors that are common to both markets, the closer they should be on the map. The relative size of each circle is proportional to the size of that UK market in 2004, as measured by IDC. The relative distance between the centres of any pair of circles is negatively correlated with the number of vendors which operate successfully ...

refimprove date September 2008 A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an Electromagnetic field electromagnetic or a beam of electromagnetic radiation infrared , for instance , and looks for changes in the electric field field or return signal. The object being sensed is often referred to as the proximity sensor s target. Different proximity sensor targets demand different sensors. For example, a capacitive proximity sensor capacitive or photoelectric sensor might be suitable for a plastic target an inductive sensor inductive proximity sensor requires a metal target. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect is defined nominal range . Some sensors have adjustments of the nominal range or means to report a graduated detection distance. Proximity sensors can have a high reliability and long functional life because of the absence of mechanical parts and lack of physical contact between sensor and the sensed object. Proximity sensors are also used in machine vibration monitoring to measure the variation in distance between a shaft and its support bearing. This is common in large steam turbine s, compressor s, and motors that use sleeve type bearing s. International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 60947 5 2 defines the technical details of proximity sensors. A proximity sensor adjusted to a very short range is often used as a touch switch .

In topology , a proximity space is an axiomatization of notions of nearness that hold set to set, as opposed to the better known point to set notions that characterize topological space s. The concept was described by Frigyes Riesz in 1908 and ignored at the time. It was rediscovered and axiomatized by Vadim Arsenyevich Efremovich V. A. Efremovi& 269 in 1934, but not published until 1951. In the interim, in 1940, A. N. Wallace discovered a version of the same concept.

The standard can refer to the older 125 kHz devices or the newer 13.56 MHz contactless RFID cards, most commonly known as contactless smartcard s. Modern proximity cards are covered by the ISO IEC 14443 proximity card standard. Proximity cards typically have a range of convert 0 to 3 in cm 0 for reading, with a lower range for writing. The user will usually be able to leave the proximity card inside his wallet or purse. The price of the cards is low, usually US 2 5 retail , allowing them to be used in applications such as identification cards, keycard s, payment cards and public transit fare cards. There is also a related ISO IEC 15693 vicinity card standard for longer range operation. Proximity cards as well as vicinity cards are powered by resonant inductive coupling via an LC circuit including an Integrated circuit IC , capacitor , and inductor coil are connected in parallel. The card reader produces an electromagnetic field that excites the coil and resonant current charges the capacitor, which in turn energizes and powers the IC. In reading process, the IC transmits the card number via the coil to the card reader. The card readers communicate in various protocols, for example the Wiegand protocol that consists of a data 0 and a data 1 circuit or binary or simple on off digital type circuit .

orphan date June 2010 Proximity communication is a Sun microsystems technology of wireless Integrated circuit chip to chip communications. Partly by Robert Drost and Ivan Sutherland . Research done as part of High Productivity Computing Systems DARPA project. Proximity communication replaces wires by capacitive coupling, promises significant increase in communications speed between chips in an electronic system, among other benefits. Partially funded by a 50 million award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Comparing traditional area ball bonding, proximity communication has one order smaller scale, so it can be two order densier in terms of connection number PIN than ball bonding. This technique require very good alignment between chips and very small gaps between tx and rx parts 2 3 micrometers , which can be destroyed by thermal expansion, vibration, dust, etc. Chip transmitter consists according to presentation slide of big 32x32 array of very small Tx micropads, 4x4 array of bigger Rx micropads four times bigger than tx micropad , and two linear arrays of 14 X vernier and 14 Y vernier. Proximity communication can be used with 3D packing on chips in Multi Chip Module , allowing to connect several MCM without sockets and wires. Speed was up to 1.35 Gbit s channel in tests of 16 channel systems. BER 10 sup 12 sup . Static power is 3.6 mW channel, dynamic power is 3.9 pJ bit Current status of the project is unknown.

Context date October 2009 Unreferenced date January 2007 Proximity of blood , or closeness in degree of kinship , is one of the ways to determine Hereditary title hereditary Order of succession succession based on genealogy . It was at loggerheads with primogeniture in numerous medieval succession disputes. Feudal custom accorded quite a strong value to this claim. Examples In 1361, the Duchy of Burgundy would have gone to Charles II of Navarre according to primogeniture , but went to John II of France according to degree of kinship. Charles II of Navarre was grandson and heir to Margaret of Burgundy, second daughter of Duke Robert II of Burgundy . John II of France was son and heir to Joan of Burgundy, third daughter of Duke Robert II of Burgundy. John was first cousin of Philip s father, whereas Charles was son of a first cousin of Philip s father, i.e. a second cousin himself. Charles mother Joan had died already 1349. John was thus one degree closer to Dukes of Burgundy than the primogeniture heir Charles. Earlier, Mary of Antioch claimed the throne of Jerusalem in 1269. She was the daughter of Prince Bohemond IV of Antioch and Tripoli d. 1233 and his second wife Melisend of Cyprus who died after 1249 . Melisend was the youngest daughter of King Amalric I of Cyprus and his third wife Queen Isabella of Jerusalem . Since Mary was, at the time of the death of Conradin , the only living grandchild of Queen Isabella, she claimed the throne on basis of proximity in kinship to Conradin and to the Kings of Jerusalem. However, the Haute Cour of Kingdom awarded the succession to an heir of Melisend s elder sister, though he was a great grandson of Isabella. Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale claimed the crown of Scotland in the 1290s using the argument of proximity of blood, while John Balliol made a rival claim based on primogeniture. Arbitration by Edward I of England awarded ... as an usurpation this established proximity of blood as a valid principle in the Scottish royal succession ... more details

Proximity problems is a class of problems in computational geometry which involve estimation of distance s between geometric objects. A subset of these problems stated in terms of points only are sometimes referred to as closest point problems ref cite book author J. R. Sack and Jorge Urrutia professor J. Urrutia eds. year 2000 title Handbook of Computational Geometry publisher North Holland isbn 0 44482 537 1 ref , although the term closest point problem is also used synonymously to the nearest neighbor search . A common trait for many of these problems is the possibility to establish the Big O notation &Theta n log n lower bound on their computational complexity by reduction from the element uniqueness problem basing on an observation that if there is an efficient algorithm to compute some kind of minimal distance for a set of objects, it is trivial to check whether this distance equals to 0. Atomic problems While these problems pose no computational complexity challenge, some of them are notable because of their ubiquity in computer applications of geometry. Distance between a pair of line segment s. It cannot be expressed by a single formula, unlike, e.g., the distance from a point to a line .
