Spirograph is a geometric drawing device that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. The well-known toy version was developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965.
A pneumograph, also known as a pneumatograph or spirograph, is a device for recording velocity and force of chest movements during respiration.While spirometry measures respiratory rate and other markers of respiratory health via analysis of the airflow from the lungs during inhalation and exhalation, pneumography measures the respiratory rate via chest motion.
A logarithmic chart allows only positive values to be plotted. A square root scale chart cannot show negative values. x: the x-values as a comma-separated list, for dates and time see remark in xType and yType; y or y1, y2, …: the y-values for one or several data series, respectively. For pie charts y2 denotes the radius of the corresponding ...
Between 1962 and 1964 he developed various drawing machines from Meccano pieces, eventually producing a prototype Spirograph. Patented in 16 countries, it went on sale in Schofields department store in Leeds in 1965. A year later, Fisher licensed Spirograph to Kenner Products in the United States. In 1967 Spirograph was chosen as the UK Toy of ...
It has no gears but uses a rotating disc for the paper and a reciprocating arm with adjustable pivots to hold a dip pen. When cranked it produces designs just like a Spirograph. --Saxophobia 13:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC) Thanks for that information. I looked it up and included sourced information in the article. Interesting.
A geometry template is a piece of clear plastic with cut-out shapes for use in mathematics and other subjects in primary school through secondary school. It also has various measurements on its sides to be used like a ruler. In Australia, popular brands include Mathomat and MathAid.
Kahootz' initial product offerings were Spirograph and Pomz. [2] In a 2013 interview, [3] Cass stated that they brought back the Spirograph because they saw an opportunity for success in the nostalgia market and felt that it would do well. The first shipment of Spirograph arrived just before Christmas in 2012.
A bronchodilator is also given in certain circumstances and a pre/post graph comparison is done to assess the effectiveness of the bronchodilator. See the example printout. Functional residual capacity (FRC) cannot be measured via spirometry, but it can be measured with a plethysmograph or dilution tests (for example, helium dilution test).
