  2. Dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron

    In geometry, a dodecahedron (from Ancient Greek δωδεκάεδρον (dōdekáedron); from δώδεκα (dṓdeka) 'twelve' and ἕδρα (hédra) 'base, seat, face') or duodecahedron [1] is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid.

  3. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    The rhombicosidodecahedron shares the vertex arrangement with the small stellated truncated dodecahedron, and with the uniform compounds of six or twelve pentagrammic prisms. The Zometool kits for making geodesic domes and other polyhedra use slotted balls as connectors. The balls are "expanded" rhombicosidodecahedra, with the squares replaced ...

  4. Regular dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_dodecahedron

    A regular dodecahedron or pentagonal dodecahedron [notes 1] is a dodecahedron composed of regular pentagonal faces, three meeting at each vertex. It is an example of Platonic solids, described as cosmic stellation by Plato in his dialogues, and it was used as part of Solar System proposed by Johannes Kepler. However, the regular dodecahedron ...

  5. Rhombic dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_dodecahedron

    In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 12 congruent rhombic faces. It has 24 edges, and 14 vertices of 2 types. As a Catalan solid, it is the dual polyhedron of the cuboctahedron. As a parallelohedron, the rhombic dodecahedron can be used to tesselate its copies in space creating a rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb.

  6. Roman dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron

    A Roman dodecahedron or Gallo-Roman dodecahedron [1] [2] is a small hollow object made of copper alloy which has been cast into a regular dodecahedral shape with twelve flat pentagonal faces. Each face has a circular hole of varying diameter in the middle, the holes connecting to the hollow center, and each corner has a protruding knob. [ 1 ]

  7. Word (computer architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

    The largest possible address size, used to designate a location in memory, is typically a hardware word (here, "hardware word" means the full-sized natural word of the processor, as opposed to any other definition used). Documentation for older computers with fixed word size commonly states memory sizes in words rather than bytes or characters.

    Magic Desk is a graphical user interface featuring a word processor and file system.A disembodied hand portrays the cursor, controlled by joystick.The first screen presents a room with a desk, a file cabinet, a trash can, and a door.

  9. Word processor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_processor

    A word processor (WP) [1] [2] is a device or computer program that provides for input, editing, formatting, and output of text, often with some additional features.. Early word processors were stand-alone devices dedicated to the function, but current word processors are word processor programs running on general purpose computers.
