  2. Pocket neighborhood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_neighborhood

    A planned pocket neighborhood on 3.7 acres (15,000 m 2) in Beloit, Wisconsin was designed to include geothermal heating and cooling and is a sustainable development that will use a common road at the back of the homes, geothermal energy, and a community tea garden, while limiting the need to remove existing oak trees on the property.

  3. Topological geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_Geometry

    Hence the point space of a locally compact connected Laguerre plane is homeomorphic to the cylinder or it is a -dimensional manifold, cf. [64] A large class of -dimensional examples, called ovoidal Laguerre planes, is given by the plane sections of a cylinder in real 3-space whose base is an oval in .

  4. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    Two intersecting lines. In Euclidean geometry, the intersection of a line and a line can be the empty set, a point, or another line.Distinguishing these cases and finding the intersection have uses, for example, in computer graphics, motion planning, and collision detection.

  5. Desargues configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desargues_configuration

    Although it may be embedded in two dimensions, the Desargues configuration has a very simple construction in three dimensions: for any configuration of five planes in general position in Euclidean space, the ten points where three planes meet and the ten lines formed by the intersection of two of the planes together form an instance of the configuration.

  6. Closed community - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_community

    Closed communities may be of a religious, ethnic, or political nature. Governance of closed societies varies. Typically, members of closed communities are either born into the community or are accepted into it. The opposite of a closed community is an open community, which maintains social relations with external communities. [1] [2]

  7. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    For example, the first Napoleon point is the point of concurrency of the three lines each from a vertex to the centroid of the equilateral triangle drawn on the exterior of the opposite side from the vertex. A generalization of this notion is the Jacobi point. The de Longchamps point is the point of concurrence of several lines with the Euler line.

  8. Earth section paths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_section_paths

    Specifically, the lines at azimuths 15, 75, 195 and 255 coincide, as do the lines at 105, 165, 285, and 345 on the other side as the inner most (other than the geodesics). Next farthest coincident lines from the four geodesic lines are at azimuths 30, 60, 210, and 240 on one side and 120, 150, 300, and 330 on the other side.

  9. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(projective_geometry)

    The sphere model is obtained by intersecting the lines and planes through the origin with a unit sphere centered at the origin. The lines meet the sphere in antipodal points which must then be identified to obtain a point of the projective plane, and the planes meet the sphere in great circles which are thus the lines of the projective plane.
