  2. Narcolepsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcolepsy

    Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that impairs the ability to regulate sleep–wake cycles, and specifically impacts REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. [1] The pentad symptoms of narcolepsy include excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), sleep-related hallucinations, sleep paralysis, disturbed nocturnal sleep (DNS), and cataplexy. [1]

  4. Optical coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

    The simplest optical coatings are thin layers of metals, such as aluminium, which are deposited on glass substrates to make mirror surfaces, a process known as silvering. The metal used determines the reflection characteristics of the mirror; aluminium is the cheapest and most common coating, and yields a reflectivity of around 88%-92% over the ...

  5. Catadioptric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    The two surfaces of the reflector have different radii to correct the aberration of the spherical mirror. Light passes through the glass twice, making the overall system act like a triplet lens. [3] Mangin mirrors were used in searchlights, where they produced a nearly true parallel beam.

  6. Dielectric mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_mirror

    Dielectric mirrors are also used to produce ultra-high reflectivity mirrors: values of 99.999% or better over a narrow range of wavelengths can be produced using special techniques. Alternatively, they can be made to reflect a broad spectrum of light, such as the entire visible range or the spectrum of the Ti-sapphire laser.

  7. Segmented mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_mirror

    Size comparison of primary mirrors. Segmented mirrors are typically hexagonal and arranged in a honeycomb pattern. A segmented mirror is an array of smaller mirrors designed to act as segments of a single large curved mirror. The segments can be either spherical or asymmetric (if they are part of a larger parabolic reflector [1]).

    The force of gravity (red), the buoyancy force (green), and the resultant centripetal force (blue) In the following discussion, represents the acceleration due to gravity, represents the angular speed of the liquid's rotation, in radians per second, is the mass of an infinitesimal parcel of liquid material on the surface of the liquid, is the distance of the parcel from the axis of rotation ...

  9. Low-dispersion glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-dispersion_glass

    Low-dispersion glass (LD glass) is a type of glass with reduced chromatic aberration, meaning the refractive index does not change as strongly with different wavelengths of light. In other words, the light passing through the glass has a smaller spread or dispersion between its constituent colors, resulting in a reduced " rainbow effect" at ...
