Following season four's fruitless journey to Terminus, Rick and the gang are faced with that perennial of The Walking Dead's plot machine: other humans who are just as deadly as the walkers.
Plotting machines and computers are used to overcome complications.
Working with simple computer tools and plotting machines, Dr Mead and his students came up with a technique that dramatically simplified the design methods, opening the way for custom chips that anybody could make.The question then was how to disseminate the technology.
But, he doesn't use the vintage plotting machines as output devices.
Mohr began using early computers and plotting machines to create intricate drawings, again based upon algorithms of his own devising.
To help him focus on the line, Lostritto uses vintage plotting machines, devices used to mechanically draw and print designs for, say, ships or buildings.
It took five men to run: two radar operators (for the S.G. radar, which looked for surface targets, and the S.C. radar, which looked for planes); a sonar operator, to listen for submarine contact targets; one man to run the plot, or plotting machine; plus the C.I.C. officer.
The plotting machine, or plotter, interprets the algorithmic script as simple operating commands place pen on paper, lift pen from paper, move pen from here to there turning a mathematical proposition into a drawing, what Mohr calls a "visual result".
Already, Uber has provided examples of how it can be used to visualize the points collected from a 3D indoor scan in exacting detail, or how it can represent visually Partial Dependence Plots in machine learning applications.
Plots were machine-planted and combine-harvested and grain yield was adjusted to a moisture concentration of 140 g H2O kg-1.
