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:

    Psychoanalysis is an attempt to examine a person’s self-justifications. Hence it can be undertaken only with the patient’s cooperation and can succeed only when the patient has something to gain by abandoning or modifying his system of self-justification.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    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)
