Let me take a stab at it.
HY = High
DX is actually Delta X
DT is actually Delta T
What this represents is the change in x (or position) over the change in Time.
That is Calculus speak for speed. The change in position divided by the change in time gives you the average speed.
By the way: That is the first derivative I believe.
The second derivative is the change in speed over the change in time......
In other words acceleration !!!!
So, my next plate might be HY DVDT

Fantastic Plate !! HY DXDT = High Speed
Technically, "High Velocity" And yes, "FAST" was already taken.

My undergrad degree was in physics...
