    the plane normal to the pitch helix at side of tooth; the plane normal to the pitch helix at center of tooth; the plane normal to the pitch helix at center of space between two teeth; In a spiral bevel gear, one of the positions of a normal plane is at a mean point and the plane is normal to the tooth trace.

  3. Helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

    The pitch of a helix is the height of one complete helix turn, measured parallel to the axis of the helix. A double helix consists of two (typically congruent) helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis. [3] A circular helix (i.e. one with constant radius) has constant band curvature and constant torsion. The slope of ...

  4. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used.

    3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1. Means "less than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≤ B is equivalent to A < B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a subgroup of the second one. ≥ 1. Means "greater than or equal to".

  6. Screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

    The helix of a thread can twist in two possible directions, which is known as handedness. Most threads are oriented so that the threaded item, when seen from a point of view on the axis through the center of the helix, moves away from the viewer when it is turned in a clockwise direction, and moves towards the viewer when it is turned ...

  7. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

    Anatomy is often described in planes, referring to two-dimensional sections of the body. A section is a two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional structure that has been cut. A plane is an imaginary two-dimensional surface that passes through the body.

  8. Protein secondary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure

    If the helix or sheet hydrogen bonding pattern is too short they are designated as T or B, respectively. Other protein secondary structure assignment categories exist (sharp turns, Omega loops, etc.), but they are less frequently used. Secondary structure is defined by hydrogen bonding, so the

  9. Spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral

    A conical or volute spring (including the spring used to hold and make contact with the negative terminals of AA or AAA batteries in a battery box), and the vortex that is created when water is draining in a sink is often described as a spiral, or as a conical helix. Quite explicitly, definition 2 also includes a cylindrical coil spring and a ...
