For example, a circle swept along a straight axis would define a cylinder (see Figure). A rectangle swept along a straight axis would define a "brick" (see Figure). Four dimensions with contrastive values (i.e., mutually exclusive values) define the current set of geons (see Figure): Shape of cross section: round vs. straight.
A mechanical lever frame inside the signal box at Knockcroghery in Ireland Waterloo station A signalbox, LSWR (Howden, Boys' Book of Locomotives, 1907). Mechanical railway signalling installations rely on lever frames for their operation to interlock the signals, track locks [1] and points to allow the safe operation of trains in the area the signals control.
Mathematical psychology is an approach to psychological research that is based on mathematical modeling of perceptual, thought, cognitive and motor processes, and on the establishment of law-like rules that relate quantifiable stimulus characteristics with quantifiable behavior (in practice often constituted by task performance).
Frame homomorphisms are maps between frames that respect all joins (in particular, the least element of the lattice) and finite meets (in particular, the greatest element of the lattice). Frames, together with frame homomorphisms, form a category. The opposite category of the category of frames is known as the category of locales.
Example problem based on Shepard & Metzlar's "Mental Rotation Task": are these two three-dimensional shapes identical when rotated? Mental rotation is the ability to rotate mental representations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects as it is related to the visual representation of such rotation within the human mind. [1]
For example, the union of disjoint orthonormal bases of a vector space is an overcomplete tight frame with = =. A tight frame is a Parseval frame if A = B = 1 {\displaystyle A=B=1} . [ 19 ] Each orthonormal basis is a (complete) Parseval frame, but the converse is not necessarily true.
Sometimes frames are distinguished by the scale of their observations, as in macroscopic and microscopic frames of reference. [2] In this article, the term observational frame of reference is used when emphasis is upon the state of motion rather than upon the coordinate choice or the character of the observations or observational apparatus.

In the example of a nail clipper on the right (a compound lever made of a class 2 and a class 3 lever), because the effort is applied vertically (that is, not perpendicular to the lever), distances to the respective fulcrums are measured horizontally, instead of along the lever. In this example, W/F is 7 + 1 / 1 × 6 / 6 + 2 = 6.
