  2. B-spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-spline

    A B-spline function is a combination of flexible bands that is controlled by a number of points that are called control points, creating smooth curves. These functions are used to create and manage complex shapes and surfaces using a number of points. B-spline function and Bézier functions are applied extensively in shape optimization methods. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

    The spline drive was part of the obsolete, U.S-designed Optimum Metric Fastener System and was defined by ASTM B18.2.7.1M, which was withdrawn in 2011, [83] making the spline drive obsolescent. Spline drives were specified for 5, 6.3, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20 mm size screws. [84]

  5. Bottom bracket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_bracket

    It is a 12-spline spindle proprietary to Truvativ offered as a lower cost alternative to other spline designs. It is essentially a beefed-up square taper spindle with splines instead of tapers. Phil Wood uses a similar splined design to the Shimano bottom bracket. The difference is an 18-tooth versus a 20-tooth as per the Shimano design.

  6. Power take-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_take-off

    A 10-spline type was used with some early equipment such as the 1948 Land Rover. A six-spline adapter was usually supplied. A six-spline adapter was usually supplied. It is customary for agricultural machines manufacturers to provide the nominal PTO power specification, an indication of the available instantaneous power at the shaft.

  7. De Boor's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Boor's_algorithm

    In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, de Boor's algorithm [1] is a polynomial-time and numerically stable algorithm for evaluating spline curves in B-spline form. It is a generalization of de Casteljau's algorithm for Bézier curves. The algorithm was devised by German-American mathematician Carl R. de Boor. Simplified ...

  8. Box spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_spline

    A box spline is a multivariate function defined for a set of vectors, , usually gathered in a matrix := […]. When the number of vectors is the same as the dimension of the domain (i.e., N = d {\displaystyle N=d} ) then the box spline is simply the (normalized) indicator function of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors in Ξ {\displaystyle ...

  9. Impact driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_driver

    A manual impact driver (for use with hammer) with screwdriver bits and adapters. An impact driver is a tool that delivers a strong, sudden rotational force and forward thrust. The force can be delivered either by striking with a hammer in the case of manual impact drivers, or mechanically in the case of powered impact drivers.
