  2. Concentric reducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_reducer

    A copper concentric reducer. A concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis. [1] The concentric reducer is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. [1] For example, when a 1" pipe transitions into a 3/4" pipe and the top or bottom of the pipe doesn't need to remain level. [2]

  3. Airy disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airy_disk

    where is the maximum intensity of the pattern at the Airy disc center, is the Bessel function of the first kind of order one, = / is the wavenumber, is the radius of the aperture, and is the angle of observation, i.e. the angle between the axis of the circular aperture and the line between aperture center and observation point.

  4. Eccentric reducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_reducer

    Eccentric reducers are used at the suction side of pumps to ensure air does not accumulate in the pipe. The gradual accumulation of air in a concentric reducer could result in a large bubble that could eventually cause the pump to stall or cause cavitation when drawn into the pump. Eccentric reducers exhibit a unique design with one side having ...

  5. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The measuring element functions to determine when the inlet flow is equal to the outlet flow. The diaphragm itself is often used as a measuring element; it can serve as a combined element. [citation needed] In the pictured single-stage regulator, a force balance is used on the diaphragm to control a poppet valve in order to regulate pressure.

  6. Kernel principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_principal_component...

    Consider three concentric clouds of points (shown); we wish to use kernel PCA to identify these groups. The color of the points does not represent information involved in the algorithm, but only shows how the transformation relocates the data points. First, consider the kernel

  7. Cycloidal drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

    A cycloidal drive or cycloidal speed reducer is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft by a certain ratio. Cycloidal speed reducers are capable of relatively high ratios in compact sizes with very low backlash. [1] The input shaft drives an eccentric bearing that in turn drives the cycloidal disc in an eccentric, cycloidal motion ...

  8. Point spread function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_spread_function

    The point spread function (PSF) describes the response of a focused optical imaging system to a point source or point object. A more general term for the PSF is the system's impulse response; the PSF is the impulse response or impulse response function (IRF) of a focused optical imaging system. The PSF in many contexts can be thought of as the ...

  9. Midpoint circle algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

    Because in a continuous function, the function for a sphere is the function for a circle with the radius dependent on z (or whatever the third variable is), it stands to reason that the algorithm for a discrete sphere would also rely on the midpoint circle algorithm. But when looking at a sphere, the integer radius of some adjacent circles is ...
