The later storyline "Another Light" saw Megatronus in an unlikely reunion with his fellow Primes, attempting to prevent Nexus Prime from creating firmer barriers between the various multiversal streams. This effort failed, and resulted in the Thirteen, Primus, and Unicron being split into separate beings with different personalities across the various dimensions. The "Ask Vector Prime" Facebook page also introduced other historical elements to Megatronus' character, such as him and his fellow Primes communicating with ancient Earth using holographic avatars that inspired the gods of Greek mythology, with

Let "E" be an elliptic curve over Q of conductor "N". Then, "E" has good reduction at all primes "p" not dividing "N", it has multiplicative reduction at the primes "p" that "exactly" divide "N" (i.e. such that "p" divides "N", but "p" does not; this is written "p" || "N"), and it has additive reduction elsewhere (i.e. at the primes where "p" divides "N").

Maier's theorem In number theory, Maier's theorem is a theorem about the numbers of primes in short intervals for which Cramér's probabilistic model of primes gives the wrong answer. The theorem states that if π is the prime counting function and λ is greater than 1 then does not have a limit as "x" tends to infinity; more precisely the lim sup is greater than 1, and the lim inf is less than 1. The Cramér model of primes predicts incorrectly that it has limit 1 when λ≥2 (using the Borel–Cantelli lemma). Maier proved his theorem using Buchstab's equivalent for

Planar transformers Planar transformers are devices used to exact standards with precise electrical characteristics such as capacitance, output, and aspect ratio. They are used to carry out military and aerospace projects. Planar transformers are high frequency transformers used in isolated switchmode power supplies operating at high frequency. As opposed to conventional "wire-wound-on-a-bobbin" transformers, planar transformers usually contain winding turns made of thin copper sheets riveted together at the ends of turns in case of high current windings, or windings etched on a PCB in a spiral form. As the current conductors are thin sheets of copper, the operating frequency is

As is often the case in number theory, it is easiest to work modulo prime numbers, so in this section all moduli "p", "q", etc., are assumed to positive, odd primes. The first thing to notice when working within the ring Z of integers is that if the prime number "q" is ≡ 3 (mod 4) then a residue "b" is a quadratic residue (mod "q") if and only if

Low frequency transformers need to have heavier magnetic cores and larger windings for the same level of power conversion. (See effect of frequency on the design of transformers.) The heavier transformers also lead to higher axle loads than for those of a higher frequency. This, in turn, leads to increased track wear and increases the need for more frequent track maintenance.
