Cooperation Factor

In facsimile systems, the cooperation factor is the product of the total image scanning length and the scanning density, given by CF = L σ, where L is the scanning line length and σ is the scanning line density, both in compatible units.

For example, a 20 cm line and a line density of 6 scanning pitches per centimeter would yield a cooperation factor of 120.

Famous quotes containing the words cooperation and/or factor:

    There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)

    In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
