  2. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

    The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]

  3. Exophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

    Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia .

  4. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The strength of the prism is increased until the streak of the light passes through the centre of the prism, as the strength of the prism indicates the amount of deviation present. The Maddox rod is a handheld instrument composed of red parallel plano convex cylinder lens , which refracts light rays so that a point source of light is seen as a ...

  5. Christmas tree (oil well) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_tree_(oil_well)

    Christmas tree (oil well) Oil well Christmas tree. In petroleum and natural gas extraction, a Christmas tree, or tree, is an assembly of valves, casing spools, and fittings used to regulate the flow of pipes in an oil well, gas well, water injection well, water disposal well, gas injection well, condensate well, and other types of well.

  6. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Using ideal gas equation of state for constant temperature process (i.e., / is constant) and the conservation of mass flow rate (i.e., ˙ = is constant), the relation Qp = Q 1 p 1 = Q 2 p 2 can be obtained. Over a short section of the pipe, the gas flowing through the pipe can be assumed to be incompressible so that Poiseuille law can be used ...

  7. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    A good example is of a pipe flow with a symmetric obstacle in the flow. The obstacle divides the upper flow and lower flow as mirrored flow. Periodic or cyclic boundary condition A quarter showing cyclic boundary condition. A periodic or cyclic boundary condition arises from a different type of symmetry in a problem. If a component has a ...

  8. Prism fusion range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_fusion_range

    The prism fusion range ( PFR) or fusional vergence amplitude is a clinical eye test performed by orthoptists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to assess motor fusion, specifically the extent to which a patient can maintain binocular single vision ( BSV) in the presence of increasing vergence demands. Motor fusion is largely accounted to ...

  9. Hydraulic analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_analogy

    An alternative inductor model is simply a long pipe, perhaps coiled into a spiral for convenience. This fluid-inertia device is used in real life as an essential component of a hydraulic ram . The inertia of the water flowing through the pipe produces the inductance effect; inductors "filter out" rapid changes in flow, while allowing slow ...
