  2. Miter joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miter_joint

    90º miter joint (pieces ready to be joined) Miter joint of two pipes A miter joint (mitre in British English) is a joint made by cutting each of two parts to be joined, across the main surface, usually at a 45° angle, to form a corner, usually to form a 90° angle, though it can comprise any angle greater than 0 degrees.

  3. Schüfftan process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schüfftan_process

    Schüfftan placed a plate of glass at a 45-degree angle between the camera and the miniature buildings. He used the camera's viewfinder to trace an outline of the area into which the actors would later be inserted onto the glass. This outline was transferred onto a mirror and all the reflective surface that fell outside the outline was removed ...

  4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    In plumbing, the term "45-degree elbow" for example, refers to the angle of bend from the original straight pipe position (0 degrees) to the new position (45 degrees), not the actual angle formed by the joint. On a protractor, the actual angle of the above joint is 135 degrees, an obtuse angle.

  5. Fog collection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_collection

    The fog collector is made up of three major parts: the frame, the mesh netting, and the trough or basin. The frame supports the mesh netting and can be made from a wide array of materials from stainless steel poles to bamboo. The frame can vary in shape. Proposed geometries include linear, similar to a fence and cylindrical.

  6. Self-cleaning surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-cleaning_surfaces

    A) A superhydrophobic surface with a high contact angle nearing 180 degrees. B) A surface with a low water sliding angle. C) A surface with a higher sliding angle which will be less efficient when self-cleaning water from its surface. Control over surface wettability is a critical aspect of self-cleaning surfaces.

  7. A-frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-frame

    An A-frame is a basic structure designed to bear a load in a lightweight economical manner. The simplest form of an A-frame is two similarly sized beams , arranged in an angle of 45 degrees or less, attached at the top, like an uppercase letter 'A'.

  8. Angle bracket (fastener) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_bracket_(fastener)

    An angle bracket or angle brace or angle cleat is an L-shaped fastener used to join two parts generally at a 90-degree angle. It is typically made of metal but it can also be made of wood or plastic. Angle brackets feature holes in them for screws. A typical example use of is a shelf bracket for mounting a shelf on a wall.

  9. Ground glass joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_glass_joint

    Crude versions of conically tapered ground glass joints have been made for quite a while, [1] particularly for stoppers for glass bottles and retorts. [2] Crude glass joints could still be made to seal well by grinding the two parts of a joint against each other using an abrasive grit, but this led to variations between joints and they would not seal well if mated to a different joint.
