A set of the three most common French curves, also known as a Burmester set. The bottom object is most commonly used for hyperbolas; the smaller one above it is suited for ellipses. The large one is used mostly for parabolas. [1] A French curve is a template usually made from metal, wood or plastic composed of

The French scale measures the outer diameter of the catheter, not the size of the internal drainage channel (inner diameter). For instance, a two-way catheter of 20 Fr and a three-way catheter of 20 Fr have the same outer diameter, but the three-way catheter has an additional channel for irrigation, reducing the size of its drainage channel.

Paul de Casteljau (19 November 1930 – 24 March 2022) was a French physicist and mathematician. In 1959, while working at Citroën, he developed an algorithm for evaluating calculations on a certain family of curves, which would later be formalized and popularized by engineer Pierre Bézier, leading to the curves widely known as Bézier curves.
Even though I took a drafting course, the French Curve in our geometry sets were never needed. All lines were straight or circular - as is the case for most basic drafting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.26.79.137 13:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC) French curves are used in drafting clothing patterns, like for neck and arm holes.
Free-space diagram of the red and the blue curve. In contrast to the definition in the text, which uses the parameter interval [0,1] for both curves, the curves are parameterized by arc length in this example. An important tool for calculating the Fréchet distance of two curves is the free-space diagram, which was introduced by Alt and Godau. [4]
