A pivot position in a matrix, A, is a position in the matrix that corresponds to a rowâleading 1 in the reduced row echelon form of A. Since the reduced row echelon form of A is unique, the pivot positions are uniquely determined and do not depend on whether or not row interchanges are performed in the reduction process. Also, the pivot of a row must appear to the right of the pivot in the above row in row echelon form.
Distribution pipes send water to the fire sprinkler heads using. a water source to maintain and increase water pressure according to design criteria. Modern systems can detect a fire condition and discharge water. quickly, before a fire grows to a fatal or catastrophic size, reducing fire deaths by nearly 100 percent.
(ËhaÉªdrÉnt) n. (General Engineering) an outlet from a water main, usually consisting of an upright pipe with a valve attached, from which water can be tapped for fighting fires. See also fire hydrant.
