  2. Pin Index Safety System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_Index_Safety_System

    Pin index dimensions. The Pin Index Safety System (PISS) is a means of connecting high pressure cylinders containing medical gases to a regulator or other utilization equipment. It uses geometric features on the valve and yoke to prevent mistaken use of the wrong gas. This system is widely used worldwide for anesthesia machines, portable oxygen ...

  3. Anaesthetic machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaesthetic_machine

    The machine is commonly used together with a mechanical ventilator, breathing system, suction equipment, and patient monitoring devices; strictly speaking, the term "anaesthetic machine" refers only to the component which generates the gas flow, but modern machines usually integrate all these devices into one combined freestanding unit, which ...

  4. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    Having radius r and altitude (height) h, the surface area of a right circular cylinder, oriented so that its axis is vertical, consists of three parts: the area of the top base: πr 2; the area of the bottom base: πr 2; the area of the side: 2πrh; The area of the top and bottom bases is the same, and is called the base area, B.

  5. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The strength of the prism is increased until the streak of the light passes through the centre of the prism, as the strength of the prism indicates the amount of deviation present. The Maddox rod is a handheld instrument composed of red parallel plano convex cylinder lens , which refracts light rays so that a point source of light is seen as a ...

  6. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    Prism (geometry) In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.

  7. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    Thus, the space model of a ternary phase diagram is a right-triangular prism. The prism sides represent corresponding binary systems A-B, B-C, A-C. However, the most common methods to present phase equilibria in a ternary system are the following: 1) projections on the concentration triangle ABC of the liquidus, solidus, solvus surfaces; 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._pocket_stove

    The G.I. pocket stove is inches (220 mm) high and inches (110 mm) in diameter, and weighs about 3 pounds (1.4 kg). It was designed to burn either leaded or unleaded automobile gasoline (sometimes referred to as "white gasoline" or pure gasoline, without lead or additives). It can hold 1 US pint (470 mL) of fuel, burn for over 3 hours on a full ...

  9. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

    Components of jet engines. Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the compressor blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which drive the compressor blades. 1.
