An AT cut crystal has a temperature vs. frequency characteristic that can be represented by a third order polynomial. The turning points are points of zero slope where the slope reverses sign. Usually there is a lower turning point around -4° C and an upper turning point around +55° C. Often ovenized oscillators hold the temperature of the crystal at the upper turning point to obtain maximum temperature stability.
In the growth cycles analysis, a turning point occur in a series when the deviation-from-trend series reached a local maximum (Peak) or a local minimum (Trough). Growth cycle peaks (end of expansion) occur when activity is furthest above its trend level. Growth cycle troughs (end of contraction/recession) occur when activity is furthest below its trend level.
a maximum or minimum point on a curve where the y-value changes from increasing to decreasing or vice versa (and the tangent is horizontal).
a ''discrimen'', one of the two marked points on a '' cursus '' or classical-period race-track
a point at which the graph changes direction
a point where the elevation is determined for the purpose of traverse, but which is no longer needed after necessary readings have been taken
an action point that is a reaction to an obstacle in the way of a protagonist's objective; turning points raise the stakes, move the action in a different direction or to a different playing area, and force the protagonist to take a new or different tack.
The approximate time at which there is a change in trend.
