Euclidean Vector
In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector or simply a vector (sometimes called a geometric vector or spatial vector) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction. Euclidean vectors can be added and scaled to form a vector space. A '' vector quantity'' is a vector-valued physical quantity, including units of measurement and possibly a support, formulated as a '' directed line segment''. A vector is frequently depicted graphically as an arrow connecting an ''initial point'' ''A'' with a ''terminal point'' ''B'', and denoted by \stackrel \longrightarrow. A vector is what is needed to "carry" the point ''A'' to the point ''B''; the Latin word means 'carrier'. It was first used by 18th century astronomers investigating planetary revolution around the Sun. The magnitude of the vector is the distance between the two points, and the direction refers to the direction of displacement from ''A'' to ''B''. Many algebraic operations on real numbe ...

Vector Clock
A vector clock is a data structure used for determining the partial ordering of events in a distributed system and detecting causality violations. Just as in Lamport timestamps, inter-process messages contain the state of the sending process's logical clock. A vector clock of a system of ''N'' processes is an array/vector of ''N'' logical clocks, one clock per process; a local "largest possible values" copy of the global clock-array is kept in each process. Denote VC_i as the vector clock maintained by process i, the clock updates proceed as follows: * Initially all clocks are zero. * Each time a process experiences an internal event, it increments its own logical clock in the vector by one. For instance, upon an event at process i, it updates VC_ \leftarrow VC_ + 1. * Each time a process sends a message, it increments its own logical clock in the vector by one (as in the bullet above, but not twice for the same event) then it pairs the message with a copy of its own vector ...

Pinzgauer High-Mobility All-Terrain Vehicle
The Pinzgauer is a family of high-mobility off-road vehicle, all-terrain four-wheel drive, 4WD (4×4) and six-wheel drive, 6WD (6×6) military utility vehicles. The vehicle was originally developed in the late 1960s and manufactured by Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Graz, Austria, and was named after the Pinzgauer cattle, Pinzgauer, an Austrian breed of cattle. They were most recently manufactured at Guildford, Surrey, England, by BAE Systems Land & Armaments. It was popular amongst military buyers, and continued in production there throughout the rest of the century. In 2000 the rights were sold to Automotive Technik, Automotive Technik Ltd (ATL) in the UK. ATL was acquired by Stewart & Stevenson, Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc. in 2005. In May 2006, Stewart & Stevenson became a subsidiary of the aerospace and defence group Armor Holdings, Inc. In 2007 Armor Holdings was acquired by BAE Systems, BAE Systems plc, who discontinued UK production of the Pinzgauer, which was proving to b ...
