  2. Vacuum fluorescent display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display

    A VFD operates on the principle of cathodoluminescence, roughly similar to a cathode-ray tube, but operating at much lower voltages. Each tube in a VFD has a phosphor-coated carbon anode that is bombarded by electrons emitted from the cathode filament. [1] [2] In fact, each tube in a VFD is a triode vacuum tube because it also has a mesh ...

  3. Optics and vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_and_vision

    The human eye is an organ which reacts to light for several purposes. As a conscious sense organ, the eye allows vision. Rod and cone cells in the retina allow conscious light perception and vision including color differentiation and the perception of depth. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million colors. [3]

  4. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

    VSD (French magazine) (Vendredi Samedi Dimanche; i.e. "Friday Saturday Sunday"), a French weekly news magazine; Vaccine Safety Datalink, a Centers for Disease Control database containing vaccination and health records of over 7 million Americans; Variable speed drive, or adjustable-speed drive, is a specific type of a variable-frequency drive

  6. Eye chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_chart

    An example of the Landolt C eye chart (also known as the Japanese eye chart). Numerous types of eye charts exist and are used in various situations. For example, the Snellen chart is designed for use at 6 meters or 20 feet, and is thus appropriate for testing distance vision, while the ETDRS chart is designed for use at 4 meters. [16]

  7. Nixie tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube

    Nixie tubes were superseded in the 1970s by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), often in the form of seven-segment displays. The VFD uses a hot filament to emit electrons, a control grid and phosphor-coated anodes (similar to a cathode-ray tube) shaped to represent segments of a digit, pixels of a graphical ...

  8. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_ischemic_optic...

    This form of ischemic optic neuropathy is generally categorized as two types: arteritic AION (or AAION), in which the loss of vision is the result of an inflammatory disease of arteries in the head called temporal arteritis, and non-arteritic AION (abbreviated as NAION, NAAION, [1] or sometimes simply as AION), which is due to non-inflammatory ...

  9. Paranasal sinuses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranasal_sinuses

    The maxillary sinuses, the largest of the paranasal sinuses, are under the eyes, in the maxillary bones (open in the back of the semilunar hiatus of the nose). They are innervated by the maxillary nerve (CN V2). [2] The frontal sinuses, superior to the eyes, in the frontal bone, which forms the hard part of the forehead.
