  2. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    The discussion of plane sections can be performed for the unit hyperboloid of two sheets with equation : + = which can be generated by a rotating hyperbola around one of its axes (the one that cuts the hyperbola) A plane with slope less than 1 (1 is the slope of the asymptotes of the generating hyperbola) intersects either in an ellipse or in a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hyperboloid_structures

    A hyperboloid of one sheet is a doubly ruled surface: it can be generated by either of two families of straight lines. Four images of hyperboloid towers. The Shukhov Tower in Polibino , the world's first hyperboloid structure , a water tower by Vladimir Shukhov at the All-Russian Exposition in Nizhny Novgorod , Russia

  4. Hyperboloid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_model

    The vectors v ∈ R n+1 such that Q(v) = -1 form an n-dimensional hyperboloid S consisting of two connected components, or sheets: the forward, or future, sheet S +, where x 0 >0 and the backward, or past, sheet S −, where x 0 <0. The points of the n-dimensional hyperboloid model are the points on the forward sheet S +.

  5. Paper density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_density

    The density can be calculated by dividing the grammage of paper (in grams per square metre or "gsm") by its caliper (usually in micrometres, occasionally in mils). [1] The "ISO 534:2011, Paper and board — Determination of thickness, density and specific volume" indicates that the paper density is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm ...

    The Three Dunce Caps Theorem then says that P 1, P 2, and P 3 all lie on the same line. [4] Proof: Construct a sphere on top of each circle and then construct a plane tangent to these three spheres. The plane intersects the plane that the circles lies on at a straight line containing P 1, P 2, and P 3. These points are also the centers of ...

  7. Feuerbach hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerbach_hyperbola

    Feuerbach Hyperbola. In geometry, the Feuerbach hyperbola is a rectangular hyperbola passing through important triangle centers such as the Orthocenter, Gergonne point, Nagel point and Schiffler point. The center of the hyperbola is the Feuerbach point, the point of tangency of the incircle and the nine-point circle. [1]

    The thickness of items such as paper, film, foil, wires, paint coatings, latex gloves, plastic sheeting, and fibers For example, most plastic ID cards are about 30 thou (0.76 mm) in thickness. Card stock thickness in the United States, where mils are also called points. [2] Gauge (diameter) of strings in stringed instruments [3] [4]

  9. Hyperbolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_coordinates

    Starting from (1,1) the hyperbolic sector of unit area ends at (e, 1/e), where e is 2.71828…, according to the development of Leonhard Euler in Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite (1748). Taking (e, 1/e) as the vertex of rectangle of unit area, and applying again the squeeze that made it from the unit square, yields ( e 2 , e − 2 ...
