Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary
|
It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |

1828 Definition
DIFFERENTIAL, a. An epithet applied to an infinitely small quantity, so small as to be less than any assignable quantity. This is called a differential quantity. The differential method is applied to the doctrine of infinitesimals, or infinitely small quantities, called the arithmetic of fluxions. It consists in descending from whole quantities to their infinitely small differences, and comparing them. Hence it is called the differential calculus, or analysis of infinitesimals.
1913 Definition
Relating to or
indicating a difference; creating a difference; discriminating;
special; as, differential characteristics; differential
duties; a differential rate.
For whom he produced differential favors. Motley. Of or pertaining to a
differential, or to differentials.
Relating to differences of
motion or leverage; producing effects by such differences; said of
mechanism.
Differential calculus. (Math.) See
under Calculus. -- Differential
coefficient, the limit of the ratio of the increment of
a function of a variable to the increment of the variable itself,
when these increments are made indefinitely small. --
Differential coupling, a form of slip coupling
used in light machinery to regulate at pleasure the velocity of the
connected shaft. -- Differential duties
(Polit. Econ.), duties which are not imposed equally upon
the same products imported from different countries. --
Differential galvanometer (Elec.), a
galvanometer having two coils or circuits, usually equal, through
which currents passing in opposite directions are measured by the
difference of their effect upon the needle. --
Differential gearing, a train of toothed
wheels, usually an epicyclic train, so arranged as to constitute a
differential motion. -- Differential
motion, a mechanism in which a simple
differential combination produces such a change of motion or
force as would, with ordinary compound arrangements, require a
considerable train of parts. It is used for overcoming great
resistance or producing very slow or very rapid motion. --
Differential pulley. (Mach.)
An increment, usually an indefinitely small one,
which is given to a variable quantity.
* According to the more modern writers upon the differential and integral calculus, if two or more quantities are dependent on each other, and subject to increments of value, their differentials need not be small, but are any quantities whose ratios to each other are the limits to which the ratios of the increments approximate, as these increments are reduced nearer and nearer to zero. A small difference in rates which
competing railroad lines, in establishing a common tariff, allow one
of their number to make, in order to get a fair share of the
business. The lower rate is called a differential rate.
Differentials are also sometimes granted to cities.
One of
two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet
or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action
contrary to that of the other.

Noah Says...
In correcting public evils, great reliance is placed on schools.… But schools no more make statesmen than human learning makes christians. Literature & scientific attainments have never prevented the corruption of government. Knowledge derived from experience & from the evils of bad measures may produce a change of measures to correct a particular evil. But learning & sciences have no material effect in subduing ambition & selfishness, reconciling parties or subjecting private interest to the influence of a ruling preference of public good.

Managing human capital is fundamental for a company's success. Merged with IP capital, a new realm of Intellectual Capital needs to be carefully considered. Alone, patents and inventors are important. But together, their synergies may be invaluable to a firm. Know which patents matter, which inventors matter, and which inventors play nice together. Whether you are searching to hire a new inventor, wanting to monitor inventor productivity, or want to analyze your inventor networks (relationships among inventors), IP Street simplifies the complex to provide meaningful insights.
