    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_modding

    Mod packs are groups of mods put into one package for download, often with an auto-installer. A mod pack's purpose is to make it easier for the player to install and manage multiple mods. [73] Mod packs may be created with the purpose of making the original game more accessible to new players or to make the game harder for veterans to enjoy.

  3. X-ray filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_filter

    Thus, a copper X-ray source with a nickel filter can produce a nearly monochromatic X-ray beam with photons of mostly 154 pm. For medical purposes, X-ray filters are used to selectively attenuate, or block out, low-energy rays during x-ray imaging (radiography). Low energy x-rays (less than 30 keV) contribute little to the resultant image as ...

  4. X-ray vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_vision

    X-ray films are made as x-rays pass through an object and then through the x-ray film. The images seen on x-ray film are "shadows" of the objects the x-rays passed through on their way to the film). As depicted, x-ray vision is actually more of a form of the supposed psychic ability of remote viewing.

  5. X-ray specs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_specs

    X-Ray Specs were long advertised with the slogan "See the bones in your hand, see through clothes!" Some versions of the advertisement featured an illustration of a young man using the X-Ray Specs to examine the bones in his hand while a voluptuous woman stood in the background, as though awaiting her turn to be "X-rayed".

  6. Small-angle X-ray scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_X-ray_scattering

    Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a small-angle scattering technique by which nanoscale density differences in a sample can be quantified. This means that it can determine nanoparticle size distributions, resolve the size and shape of (monodisperse) macromolecules, determine pore sizes and characteristic distances of partially ordered materials.

  7. X-ray binary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_binary

    X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars that are luminous in X-rays. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one component, called the donor (usually a relatively common main sequence star ), to the other component, called the accretor , which is either a neutron star or black hole .

  8. Be/X-ray binary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be/X-ray_binary

    Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries that consist of a Be star and a neutron star. The neutron star is usually in a wide highly elliptical orbit around the Be star. The Be stellar wind forms a disk confined to a plane often different from the orbital plane of the neutron star. When the neutron star passes through ...

    Police car equipped with an LRAD-500X sonic weapon (Warsaw, Poland, 2011).. A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams.
