  2. Package cushioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_cushioning

    Cushions can be thought of as performing like springs. Depending on cushion thickness and load-bearing area and on the forcing vibration frequency, the cushion may 1) not have any influence on input vibration, 2) amplify the input vibration at resonance, or 3) isolate the product from the vibration. Proper design is critical for cushion ...

  3. Solenoid (DNA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(DNA)

    The solenoid structure's most obvious function is to help package the DNA so that it is small enough to fit into the nucleus. This is a big task as the nucleus of a mammalian cell has a diameter of approximately 6 μm, whilst the DNA in one human cell would stretch to just over 2 metres long if it were unwound. [6]

  4. Eukaryotic chromosome structure - Wikipedia

    But this is only present when the cell divides. Researchers have now been able to model the structure of chromosomes when they are active. This is extremely important because the way that DNA folds up in chromosome structures is linked to the way DNA is used. Scientists have been able to develop the 3D structures of chromosomes in a single cell.

  5. Foam peanut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_peanut

    They are shaped to interlock when compressed and free flow when not compressed. They are roughly the size and shape of an unshelled peanut and commonly made of expanded polystyrene foam. 50–75 millimetres (2-3 in) of peanuts are typically used for cushioning and void filling packaging applications. The original patent was filed for by Robert ...

  6. Inflatable air cushion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflatable_air_cushion

    An inflatable air cushion is a bag of fabric or plastic that can be inflated to provide cushioning. Unlike bubble wrap, inflatable air cushions have a check valve to allow the cushion to be inflated or sometimes deflated. Samsung toner packaging in inflatable air cushion Impact limiter, JPL Vacuum chamber for testing leaks in inflatable cushion.

  7. Honeycomb structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycomb_structure

    The shape of the honeycomb cell is often varied to meet different engineering applications. Shapes that are commonly used besides the regular hexagonal cell include triangular cells, square cells, and circular-cored hexagonal cells, and circular-cored square cells. [32] The relative densities of these cells will depend on their new geometry.

    They compare the color to boxes printed around the world to ensure consistent brand colors,” Schiraldi explained. “Most printers only use four colors: cyan (blue-green), yellow, magenta and black.

  9. Cell-based models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-based_models

    Cell-based models are mathematical models that represent biological cells as discrete entities. Within the field of computational biology they are often simply called agent-based models [1] of which they are a specific application and they are used for simulating the biomechanics of multicellular structures such as tissues. to study the influence of these behaviors on how tissues are organised ...
