  2. Dilation (metric space) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_(metric_space)

    In Euclidean space, such a dilation is a similarity of the space. [2] Dilations change the size but not the shape of an object or figure. Every dilation of a Euclidean space that is not a congruence has a unique fixed point [3] that is called the center of dilation. [4] Some congruences have fixed points and others do not. [5]

  3. Hegar dilators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegar_dilators

    A set of Hegar dilators, from Hegar 4 to 17 (right to left) Hegar dilators are dilators used to treat vaginismus and induce cervical dilation, and for inflatable penile implant procedures, though for penile implants it has been shown that outcomes are better without dilation. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  4. Dilation (morphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_(morphology)

    Dilation is commutative, also given by = =. If B has a center on the origin, then the dilation of A by B can be understood as the locus of the points covered by B when the center of B moves inside A. The dilation of a square of size 10, centered at the origin, by a disk of radius 2, also centered at the origin, is a square of side 14, with ...

  5. Osmotic dilator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmotic_dilator

    Over time, the osmotic dilator absorbs fluid and swells to 3-4 times the initial diameter. [9] Most of the increase in size occurs within 6 hours after the dilator are placed in the cervix, though further expansion will continue over 12–24 hours. [7] The number of osmotic dilators placed depends on the degree of cervical dilation that is sought.

  6. Dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation

    Dilation (operator theory), a dilation of an operator on a Hilbert space; Dilation (morphology), an operation in mathematical morphology; Scaling (geometry), including: Homogeneous dilation , the scalar multiplication operator on a vector space or affine space; Inhomogeneous dilation, where scale factors may differ in different directions

  7. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    In the second method, times and are not equal due to time dilation, resulting in different lengths too. The deviation between the measurements in all inertial frames is given by the formulas for Lorentz transformation and time dilation (see Derivation). It turns out that the proper length remains unchanged and always denotes the greatest length ...

  9. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation by the Lorentz factor was predicted by several authors at the turn of the 20th century. [3] [4] Joseph Larmor (1897) wrote that, at least for those orbiting a nucleus, individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the [rest] system in the ratio: .
