  2. Hand geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_geometry

    Geometry of a hand and some examples of measurements that can be taken by hand geometry reading devices. [1] A hand geometry reading device with pegs to control the placement of the hand. Angled mirror on the left reflects the side view image of the hand to the camera. A CCD camera is beneath the keypad to take the top view image of the hand ...

  3. Classification of manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_manifolds

    Analogously to the classification of manifolds, in high codimension (meaning more than 2), embeddings are classified by surgery, while in low codimension or in relative dimension, they are rigid and geometric, and in the middle (codimension 2), one has a difficult exotic theory (knot theory).

  4. Quaternion-Kähler manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion-Kähler_manifold

    Marcel Berger's 1955 paper [1] on the classification of Riemannian holonomy groups first raised the issue of the existence of non-symmetric manifolds with holonomy Sp(n)·Sp(1).Interesting results were proved in the mid-1960s in pioneering work by Edmond Bonan [2] and Kraines [3] who have independently proven that any such manifold admits a parallel 4-form .The long awaited analog of strong ...

  5. Manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold

    The classification of smooth closed manifolds is well understood in principle, except in dimension 4: in low dimensions (2 and 3) it is geometric, via the uniformization theorem and the solution of the Poincaré conjecture, and in high dimension (5 and above) it is algebraic, via surgery theory. This is a classification in principle: the ...

  6. Laban movement analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laban_movement_analysis

    This category involves motion in connection with the environment, and with spatial patterns, pathways, and lines of spatial tension. Laban described a complex system of geometry based on crystalline forms, Platonic solids, and the structure of the human body. He felt that there were ways of organizing and moving in space that were specifically ...

  7. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    Felix Klein saw screw theory as an application of elliptic geometry and his Erlangen Program. [11] He also worked out elliptic geometry, and a fresh view of Euclidean geometry, with the Cayley–Klein metric. The use of a symmetric matrix for a von Staudt conic and metric, applied to screws, has been described by Harvey Lipkin. [12]

  8. Tool management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_management

    Geometry, description and cutting conditions are selected and received directly from tool management. This ensures that all tools used are documented and consistent with the reality in the workshop. From the CAM system, all tools used in an NC program are automatically saved as tool lists in tool management.

  9. Van Hiele model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Hiele_model

    The model has greatly influenced geometry curricula throughout the world through emphasis on analyzing properties and classification of shapes at early grade levels. In the United States, the theory has influenced the geometry strand of the Standards published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Common Core Standards.
