Linkage (software) — In programming languages, particularly C++, linkage describes how symbols are represented in an executable or object file.The static keyword is used in C to restrict a function or global variable to file scope (internal linkage). This is also… … Wikipedia
Linkage (mechanical) — This article is about assemblies of links designed to manage forces and movement. For other uses, see Linkage. Variable stroke engine (Autocar Handbook, Ninth edition) A mechanical linkage is an assembly of bodies connected together to manage… … Wikipedia
Genetic linkage — is the tendency of certain loci or alleles to be inherited together. Genetic loci that are physically close to one another on the same chromosome tend to stay together during meiosis, and are thus genetically linked. Contents 1 Background 2… … Wikipedia
Record linkage — (RL) refers to the task of finding entries that refer to the same entity across different data sources (e.g., files, books, websites, databases, etc.). Record linkage is an appropriate technique when you have to join data sets that do not already … Wikipedia
Complete-linkage clustering — In cluster analysis, complete linkage or farthest neighbour is a method of calculating distances between clusters in agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In complete linkage,[1] the distance between two clusters is computed as the maximum… … Wikipedia
Single-linkage clustering — In cluster analysis, single linkage, nearest neighbour or shortest distance is a method of calculating distances between clusters in hierarchical clustering. In single linkage, the distance between two clusters is computed as the distance between … Wikipedia
Four bar linkage — A four bar linkage or simply a 4 bar or four bar is the simplest movable linkage. It consists of 4 rigid bodies (called bars or links), each attached to two others by single joints or pivots to form a closed loop. Four bars are simple mechanisms… … Wikipedia
Watt's linkage — (also known as the parallel linkage) is a type of mechanical linkage invented by James Watt (19 January 1736 ndash; 25 August 1819) to constrain the movement of a steam engine piston in a straight line. The idea of its genesis using links is… … Wikipedia
Peaucellier-Lipkin linkage — The Peaucellier Lipkin linkage (or Peaucellier Lipkin cell), invented in 1864, was the first linkage capable of transforming rotary motion into perfect straight line motion, and vice versa. It is named after Charles Nicolas Peaucellier (1832… … Wikipedia
Cognate linkage — In Kinematics, cognate linkages are linkages that ensure the same input output relationship or coupler curve geometry, while being dimensionally dissimilar. In case of four bar linkage coupler cognates, the Roberts–Chebychev theorem states that… … Wikipedia
Sarrus linkage — The Sarrus linkage, invented in 1853 by Pierre Frédéric Sarrus, is a mechanical linkage to convert a limited circular motion to a linear motion without reference guideways. The linkage uses two perpendicular hinged rectangular plates positioned… … Wikipedia
