    Imberline is a woven fabric with various colored stripes in the warp, often separated by gold thread. The fabric is often used in upholstery and drapery manufacture. intarsia Intarsia is a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours. interfacing A type of material used on the unseen or "wrong" side of fabrics in sewing.

    Extract is recovered chemically from mixed cotton/wool fabrics. The fleece is shorn in one piece from the sheep. Ideally, the wool is cut as close to the skin as possible to maximise fibre length. Going over the same spot twice produces small fibres that will produce pills in finished fabric, something that skilled shearers are usually able to ...

  4. Ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    Hence, it is confocal to the given ellipse and the length of the string is l = 2r x + (a − c). Solving for r x yields r x = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (l − a + c); furthermore r 2 y = r 2 x − c 2. From the upper diagram we see that S 1 and S 2 are the foci of the ellipse section of the ellipsoid in the xz-plane and that r 2 z = r 2 x − a 2.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve

    An elliptic curve is not an ellipse in the sense of a projective conic, which has genus zero: see elliptic integral for the origin of the term. However, there is a natural representation of real elliptic curves with shape invariant j ≥ 1 as ellipses in the hyperbolic plane H 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {H} ^{2}} .

    An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

  8. Midpoint circle algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

    The algorithm has already been explained to a large extent, but there are further optimizations. The new presented method [4] gets along with only 5 arithmetic operations per step (for 8 pixels) and is thus best suitable for low-performate systems.

  9. n-ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-ellipse

    In geometry, the n-ellipse is a generalization of the ellipse allowing more than two foci. [1] n-ellipses go by numerous other names, including multifocal ellipse, [2] polyellipse, [3] egglipse, [4] k-ellipse, [5] and Tschirnhaus'sche Eikurve (after Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus). They were first investigated by James Clerk Maxwell in 1846 ...
