  2. BBC Bitesize - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Bitesize

    GCSE Bitesize was launched in January 1998, covering seven subjects. For each subject, a one- or two-hour long TV programme would be broadcast overnight in the BBC Learning Zone block, and supporting material was available in books and on the BBC website. At the time, only around 9% of UK households had access to the internet at home.

    A grade 8 is also equivalent to an A*; however, the grade 9 is the top end of the A*. The former C grade is set at grade 4 (known as a "standard pass") and grade 5 (considered a "strong pass") under the numerical scheme. Although fewer qualifications have tiered examinations than before, the tiering system still exists.

  4. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).

    3D modeling – the process of forming a computer model of an object's shape Layout and CGI animation – the placement and movement of objects (models, lights etc.) within a scene 3D rendering – the computer calculations that, based on light placement, surface types, and other qualities, generate (rasterize the scene into) an image

  6. Truncated icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron

    3D model of a truncated icosahedron In geometry , the truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron that can be constructed by truncating all of the regular icosahedron 's vertices. Intuitively, it may be regarded as footballs (or soccer balls) that are typically patterned with white hexagons and black pentagons.

  7. Curve of constant width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_constant_width

    Some coinage shapes are non-circular bodies of constant width. For instance the British 20p and 50p coins are Reuleaux heptagons, and the Canadian loonie is a Reuleaux 11-gon. [24] These shapes allow automated coin machines to recognize these coins from their widths, regardless of the orientation of the coin in the machine.

  8. Sector model - Wikipedia

    This model applies to numerous British cities. Also, if it is turned 90 degrees counter-clockwise it fits the city of Mönchengladbach reasonably accurately. This may be because of the age of the cities when transportation was a key, as a general rule older cities follow the Hoyt model and more recent cities follow the Burgess (concentric zone) model.

  9. 3D composites - Wikipedia

    There are several types of 3D woven fabrics that are commercially available; they can be classified according to their weaving technique. [7]3D woven interlock fabrics, are 3D woven fabrics produced on a traditional 2D weaving loom, using proper weave design and techniques, it could either have the weaver/z-yarn going through all the thickness of the fabric or from layer to layer.
