The vectors i , j and k don't depend on the orientation of the space. They can even be defined in the absence of any orientation. They can not therefore be axial vectors. This is a paradox. The vectors i , j and k are mathematical vectors, neither axial nor polar. In mathematics, the cross-product of two vectors is a vector.

There is no contradiction. The cross product can be seen as one of the simplest Lie products, and is thus generalized by Lie algebras , which are axiomatized as binary products satisfying the axioms of multilinearity, skew-symmetry, and the Jacobi identity. Many Lie algebras exist, and their study is a major field of mathematics, called Lie theory. For example, the Heisenberg algebra gives another Lie algebra structure on R 3. The cross product can also be described in terms of quaternions.

The real part will be the negative of the dot product of the two vectors. A cross product for 7-dimensional vectors can be obtained in the same way by using the octonions instead of the quaternions. The nonexistence of nontrivial vector-valued cross products of two vectors in other dimensions is related to the result from Hurwitz's theorem that the only normed division algebras are the ones with dimension 1, 2, 4, and 8.

In general dimension, there is no direct analogue of the binary cross product that yields specifically a vector. There is however the exterior product, which has similar properties, except that the exterior product of two vectors is now a 2-vector instead of an ordinary vector. As mentioned above, the cross product can be interpreted as the exterior product in three dimensions by using the Hodge star operator to map 2-vectors to vectors.

The exterior product and dot product can be combined through summation to form the geometric product in geometric algebra. As mentioned above, the cross product can be interpreted in three dimensions as the Hodge dual of the exterior product. This generalization is called external product. While the commutator product of two 1-vectors is indeed the same as the exterior product and yields a 2-vector, the commutator of a 1-vector and a 2-vector yields a true vector, corresponding instead to the left and right contractions in geometric algebra.

The commutator product of two 2-vectors has no corresponding equivalent product, which is why the commutator product is defined in the first place for 2-vectors. Furthermore, the commutator triple product of three 2-vectors is the same as the vector triple product of the same three pseudovectors in vector algebra.

However, the commutator triple product of three 1-vectors in geometric algebra is instead the negative of the vector triple product of the same three true vectors in vector algebra.

Generalizations to higher dimensions is provided by the same commutator product of 2-vectors in higher-dimensional geometric algebras, but the 2-vectors are no longer pseudovectors. In the context of multilinear algebra , the cross product can be seen as the 1,2 -tensor a mixed tensor , specifically a bilinear map obtained from the 3-dimensional volume form , [note 2] a 0,3 -tensor, by raising an index. The most direct generalizations of the cross product are to define either:.

These products are all multilinear and skew-symmetric, and can be defined in terms of the determinant and parity. This formula is identical in structure to the determinant formula for the normal cross product in R 3 except that the row of basis vectors is the last row in the determinant rather than the first.

The reason for this is to ensure that the ordered vectors v 1 , If n is odd, this modification leaves the value unchanged, so this convention agrees with the normal definition of the binary product. In the case that n is even, however, the distinction must be kept. And just like the vector cross product, it can be defined in a coordinate independent way as the Hodge dual of the wedge product of the arguments.

In , Joseph-Louis Lagrange used the component form of both the dot and cross products in order to study the tetrahedron in three dimensions.

In , William Rowan Hamilton introduced the quaternion product, and with it the terms vector and scalar. James Clerk Maxwell used Hamilton's quaternion tools to develop his famous electromagnetism equations , and for this and other reasons quaternions for a time were an essential part of physics education. In , Hermann Grassmann published a geometric algebra not tied to dimension two or three. Grassmann develops several products, including a cross product represented then by [uv].

In , Augustin-Louis Cauchy , a contemporary of Grassmann, published a paper on algebraic keys which were used to solve equations and had the same multiplication properties as the cross product. In , William Kingdon Clifford published Elements of Dynamic , in which the term vector product is attested. In the book, this product of two vectors is defined to have magnitude equal to the area of the parallelogram of which they are two sides, and direction perpendicular to their plane.

Wilson keeps the term skew product , but observes that the alternative terms cross product [note 4] and vector product were more frequent. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

W3C Working Draft 16 December Copyright © W3C ® MIT , ERCIM , Keio , Beihang. W3C liability , trademark and permissive document license rules apply. WebDriver is a remote control interface that enables introspection and control of user agents. It provides a platform- and language-neutral wire protocol as a way for out-of-process programs to remotely instruct the behavior of web browsers. Provided is a set of interfaces to discover and manipulate DOM elements in web documents and to control the behavior of a user agent.

It is primarily intended to allow web authors to write tests that automate a user agent from a separate controlling process, but may also be used in such a way as to allow in-browser scripts to control a — possibly separate — browser. This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. This document was published by the Browser Testing and Tools Working Group as a Working Draft using the Recommendation track.

Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by W3C and its Members. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress. This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent.

An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim s must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy. This document is governed by the 2 November W3C Process Document. This specification is derived from the popular Selenium WebDriver browser automation framework. Selenium is a long-lived project, and due to its age and breadth of use it has a wide range of expected functionality.

This specification uses these expectations to inform its design. Where improvements or clarifications have been made, they have been made with care to allow existing users of Selenium WebDriver to avoid unexpected breakages.

The largest intended group of users of this specification are software developers and testers writing automated tests and other tooling, such as monitoring or load testing, that relies on automating a browser. As such, care has been taken to provide commands that simplify common tasks such as typing into and clicking elements. WebDriver provides a mechanism for others to define extensions to the protocol for the purposes of automating functionality that cannot be implemented entirely in ECMAScript.

This allows other web standards to support the automation of new platform features. It also allows vendors to expose functionality that is specific to their browser. As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative.

Everything else in this specification is normative. Conformance requirements phrased as algorithms or specific steps may be implemented in any manner, so long as the end result is equivalent.

Algorithms in this document are typically written with readability, rather than performance, in mind. The mathematical function min value , value [, value ] returns the smallest item of two or more values. Conversely, the function max value , value [, value ] returns the largest item of two or more values. The mathematical function floor value produces the largest integer, closest to positive infinity, that is not larger than value.

A Universally Unique Identifier UUID is a bits long URN that requires no central registration process. Generating a UUID means Creating a UUID From Truly Random or Pseudo-Random Numbers , and converting it to the string representation.

The Unix Epoch is a value that approximates the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Epoch, as described by The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7 section 4. An integer is a Number that is unchanged under the ToInteger operation.

The initial value of an ECMAScript property is the value defined by the platform for that property, i. the value it would have in the absence of any shadowing by content script.

The browser chrome is a non-normative term to refer to the representation through which the user interacts with the user agent itself, as distinct from the accessed web content. Examples of browser chrome elements include, but are not limited to, toolbars such as the bookmark toolbar , menus such as the file or context menu , buttons such as the back and forward buttons , door hangers such as security and certificate indicators , and decorations such as operating system widget borders.

The webdriver-active flag is set to true when the user agent is under remote control. It is initially false. The NavigatorAutomationInformation interface should not be exposed on WorkerNavigator.

Returns true if webdriver-active flag is set, false otherwise. It is acknowledged that this is complementary to the Evil Bit [ RFC ]. The local end represents the client side of the protocol, which is usually in the form of language-specific libraries providing an API on top of the WebDriver protocol.

This specification does not place any restrictions on the details of those libraries above the level of the wire protocol. For remote ends the standard defines two broad conformance classes, known as node types :. All remote end node types must be black-box indistinguishable from a remote end , from the point of view of local end , and so are bound by the requirements on a remote end in terms of the wire protocol.

The readiness state of a remote end indicates whether it is free to accept new connections. It must be false if the maximum active sessions is equal to the length of the list of active sessions , or if the node is an intermediary node and is known to be in a state in which attempting to create new sessions would fail. In all other cases it must be true. If the intermediary node is a multiplexer that manages multiple endpoint nodes , this might indicate its ability to purvey more sessions , for example if it has hit its maximum capacity.

WebDriver remote ends must provide an HTTP compliant wire protocol where the endpoints map to different commands. As this standard only defines the remote end protocol, it puts no demands to how local ends should be implemented.

Various parts of this specification are written in terms of step-by-step algorithms. The details of these algorithms do not have any normative significance; implementations are free to adopt any implementation strategy that produces equivalent output to the specification.

In particular, algorithms in this document are optimized for readability rather than performance. Where algorithms that return values are fallible, they are written in terms of returning either success or error. A success value has an associated data field which encapsulates the value returned, whereas an error response has an associated error code.

The result of getting a property with name from object is defined as being the same as the result of calling Object. The result of getting a property with default with arguments name and default from object is defined as being the same as the result of calling Object. Setting a property with arguments name and value on object is defined as being the same as calling Object. The result of JSON serialization with object of type JSON Object is defined as the result of calling stringify object.

The result of JSON deserialization with text is defined as the result of calling parse text. The WebDriver protocol is organized into commands. Each HTTP request with a method and template defined in this specification represents a single command , and therefore each command produces a single HTTP response.

In response to a command , a remote end will run a series of actions known as remote end steps. These provide the sequences of actions that a remote end takes when it receives a particular command. The remote end is an HTTP server reading requests from the client and writing responses, typically over a TCP socket. For the purposes of this specification we model the data transmission between a particular local end and remote end with a connection to which the remote end may write bytes and read bytes.

However the exact details of how this connection works and how it is established are out of scope. After such a connection has been established, a remote end must run the following steps:. Read bytes from the connection until a complete HTTP request can be constructed from the data.

Let request be a request constructed from the received data, according to the requirements of [ RFC ]. If it is not possible to construct a complete HTTP request , the remote end must either close the connection , return an HTTP response with status code , or return an error with error code unknown error.

Let url variables be a url variables dictionary mapping the command parameters to their corresponding values. This condition is intended to exclude the New Session and Status commands and any extension commands which do not operate on a particular session. Let the current session be the session with ID session id in the list of active sessions , or null if there is no such matching session. If the current session is null send an error with error code invalid session id , then jump to step 1 in this overall algorithm.

If the current session is not null :. If the list of active sessions no longer contains the current session , set the current session to null. If this process throws an exception, return an error with error code invalid argument and jump back to step 1 in this overall algorithm. If parse result is not an Object , send an error with error code invalid argument and jump back to step 1 in this overall algorithm.

Otherwise, let parameters be null. Wait for navigation to complete. If this returns an error return its value and jump to step 1 in this overall algorithm, otherwise continue. Let response result be the return value obtained by running the remote end steps for command with an argument named url variables whose value is url variables and an additional argument named parameters whose value is parameters.

Send a response with status and response data. When required to send an error , with error code and an optional error data dictionary, a remote end must run the following steps:. Let status and name be the error response data for error code. Let message be an implementation-defined string containing a human-readable description of the reason for the error. Let stacktrace be an implementation-defined string containing a stack trace report of the active stack frames at the time when the error occurred.

Let body be a new JSON Object initialized with the following properties:. If the error data dictionary contains any entries, set the " data " field on body to a new JSON Object populated with the dictionary. Send a response with status and body as arguments. When required to send a response , with arguments status and data , a remote end must run the following steps:.

Let response be a new response. Let response bytes be the byte sequence resulting from serializing response according to the rules in [ RFC ].

If tiltY is not undefined and tiltY is not an Integer greater than or equal to and less than or equal to 90 return error with error code invalid argument. Are you unfamiliar with academic citation? Or did I choose to cut him out of my circle of influence? Stam Netherlands Brain Bank, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. a null input source has no type-specific items, and supports the following actions:. By contrast, for example, personality psychology studies emotions as a function of a person's personality, and thus does not take into account the person's appraisal, or cognitive response, to a situation.
