  2. Voxel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voxel

    Duke Nukem 3D has a fan-created pack in a similar style. Shattered Steel featured deforming landscapes using voxel technology. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri uses voxel models to render units. SkySaga: Infinite Isles is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG, being developed by Radiant Worlds and published by Smilegate.

  3. Texture filtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_filtering

    Mipmapping is a standard technique used to save some of the filtering work needed during texture minification. [2] It is also highly beneficial for cache coherency - without it the memory access pattern during sampling from distant textures will exhibit extremely poor locality, adversely affecting performance even if no filtering is performed.

  4. Glasspack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasspack

    A glasspack is a type of automobile muffler in which the exhaust gas passes straight through the center of the muffler. The basic design consists of one smaller tube centered inside a larger outer tube that is enlarged or swollen in the middle.

  5. Glass transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_transition

    The glass transition of a liquid to a solid-like state may occur with either cooling or compression. [10] The transition comprises a smooth increase in the viscosity of a material by as much as 17 orders of magnitude within a temperature range of 500 K without any pronounced change in material structure. [11]

  6. Glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass

    A glass building facade. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid.Because it is often transparent and chemically inert, glass has found widespread practical, technological, and decorative use in window panes, tableware, and optics.

  7. Glass fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fiber

    When the two companies joined to produce and promote glass fiber, they introduced continuous filament glass fibers. [4] Owens-Corning is still the major glass-fiber producer in the market today. [5] The most common type of glass fiber used in fiberglass is E-glass, which is alumino-borosilicate glass with less than 1% w/w alkali oxides, mainly ...

  8. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

    Glass fibers have been produced for centuries, but the earliest patent was awarded to the Prussian inventor Hermann Hammesfahr (1845–1914) in the U.S. in 1880. [3] [4]Mass production of glass strands was accidentally discovered in 1932 when Games Slayter, a researcher at Owens-Illinois, directed a jet of compressed air at a stream of molten glass and produced fibers.

  9. Strength of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_glass

    Imperfections of the glass, such as bubbles, and in particular surface flaws, such as scratches, have a great effect on the strength of glass and decrease it even more than for other brittle materials. [2] [1] The chemical composition of the glass also impacts its tensile strength. [3]
