  2. Sprag clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch

    One-way bearing combining sprags and bearing rollers in one race Sprags jam when driven and slide when in reverse. A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch.It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used.

  3. One-way function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function

    There is an explicit function f that has been proved to be one-way, if and only if one-way functions exist. [5] In other words, if any function is one-way, then so is f . Since this function was the first combinatorial complete one-way function to be demonstrated, it is known as the "universal one-way function".

  4. Microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopy

    Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723). The field of microscopy (optical microscopy) dates back to at least the 17th-century.Earlier microscopes, single lens magnifying glasses with limited magnification, date at least as far back as the wide spread use of lenses in eyeglasses in the 13th century [2] but more advanced compound microscopes first appeared in Europe around 1620 [3] [4] The ...

  5. Advanced microscope shows cells at work in incredible 3D detail

    www.aol.com/news/2018-04-20-microscope-3d-cell...

    For the first time, scientists have peered into living cells and created videos showing how they function with unprecedented 3D detail. Using a special microscope and new lighting techniques, a ...

  6. Live-cell imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-cell_imaging

    It is used by scientists to obtain a better understanding of biological function through the study of cellular dynamics. [1] Live-cell imaging was pioneered in the first decade of the 21st century. One of the first time-lapse microcinematographic films of cells ever made was made by Julius Ries, showing the fertilization and development of the ...

  7. Oil immersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_immersion

    The resolution of a microscope is defined as the minimum separation needed between two objects under examination in order for the microscope to discern them as separate objects. This minimum distance is labelled δ. If two objects are separated by a distance shorter than δ, they will appear as a single object in the microscope.

  8. Differential dynamic microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_dynamic...

    Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) is an optical technique that allows performing light scattering experiments by means of a simple optical microscope. [1] [2] DDM is suitable for typical soft materials such as for instance liquids or gels made of colloids, polymers and liquid crystals but also for biological materials like bacteria and cells.

  9. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

    A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose as a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.
