  2. Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructive_solid_geometry

    Rendering of constructive solid geometry is particularly simple when ray tracing.Ray tracers intersect a ray with both primitives that are being operated on, apply the operator to the intersection intervals along the 1D ray, and then take the point closest to the camera along the ray as being the result.

    edge distance Drilled holes, and fasteners are commonly required to have a minimum edge distance (min ED). EO, ECO, ECN: engineering order: An order from the engineering department (to be followed by the production department or vendor) overriding/superseding a detail on the drawing, which gets superseded with revised information.

  4. Displaced threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displaced_threshold

    Most often, the offset threshold is in place to give arriving aircraft clearance over an obstruction, while still allowing departing aircraft the maximum amount of runway available. A displaced threshold may also be introduced as a noise mitigation measure for the communities overflown on approach, or if a beginning section of the runway is no ...

  5. OpenSCAD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSCAD

    OpenSCAD documents are human-readable scripts in plain ASCII text and potentially syntactically better suited to integrate with version control systems such as GIT. As such, OpenSCAD is a programmer-oriented solid-modeling tool [ 7 ] and has been recommended as an entry-level CAD tool for designing open-source hardware such as scientific tools ...

  6. 1 in 60 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_in_60_rule

    One can also use the 1 in 60 rule to approximate distance from a VOR, by flying 90 degrees to a radial and timing how long it takes to fly 10 degrees (the limit of the course deviation indicator). The time in seconds divided by 10 is roughly equal to the time in minutes from the station, at the current ground speed .

  7. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    In geometry and mechanics, a displacement is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P undergoing motion. [1] It quantifies both the distance and direction of the net or total motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position of the point trajectory.
