  2. Mirror mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_mount

    The most common type of mirror mount is the kinematic mount. [3] This type of mount is designed according to the principles of kinematic determinacy. Typically, the movable frame that holds the mirror pivots on a ball bearing which is set into a hole in the fixed frame. Ideally, this hole should be trihedral (pyramid-shaped).

  3. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

    A convex mirror diagram showing the focus, focal length, centre of curvature, principal axis, etc. A convex mirror or diverging mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges towards the light source. [1] Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.

  4. Mirror support cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_support_cell

    One notable example of the structure needed for such telescopes is the dual cell for the M1 mirrors of the 8.4 meter Large Binocular Telescope at Mount Graham International Observatory. This is a multiple beam and truss system which in turn supports a temperature maintenance and air flow system, six position actuators and the 160 pneumatic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror

    A mirror reflecting the image of a vase A first-surface mirror coated with aluminium and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The angle of the incident light (represented by both the light in the mirror and the shadow behind it) exactly matches the angle of reflection (the reflected light shining on the table). 4.5-metre (15 ft)-tall acoustic mirror near Kilnsea Grange, East Yorkshire, UK, from ...

  6. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    Ceramic cleats, which were block-shaped pieces, served a purpose similar to that of the knobs except that cleats were generally used in places where the wiring was surface mounted. Not all knob and tube installations utilized cleats. Ceramic bushings protected each wire entering a metal device box, when such an enclosure was used.

  7. Semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror - Wikipedia

    Semiconductor saturable-absorber mirrors (SESAMs) are a type of saturable absorber used in mode locking lasers.. Semiconductor saturable absorbers were used for laser mode-locking as early as 1974 when p-type germanium was used to mode lock a CO 2 laser which generated pulses of around 500 picoseconds.

    Twin Mirror ' s use of the Mind Palace mechanic. Sam investigate a MP version of Coal Miner's Haven Bar to find out who he was with last night. Twin Mirror is an adventure game played from a third-person view. [3] [4] Players control the investigative journalist Sam, who has returned to his hometown of Basswood, West Virginia. [5]

  9. Surface-mount technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-mount_technology

    Surface-mount technology (SMT), originally called planar mounting, [1] is a method in which the electrical components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). [2] An electrical component mounted in this manner is referred to as a surface-mount device ( SMD ).
