  2. Collinearity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collinearity

    An antenna mast with four collinear directional arrays. In telecommunications, a collinear (or co-linear) antenna array is an array of dipole antennas mounted in such a manner that the corresponding elements of each antenna are parallel and aligned, that is they are located along a common line or axis.

  3. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_terms_of_location

    Tangential – intersecting a curve at a point and parallel to the curve at that point. Collinear – in the same line; Parallel – in the same direction. Transverse – intersecting at any angle, i.e. not parallel. Orthogonal (or perpendicular) – at a right angle (at the point of intersection).

  4. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    The number of vertices is smaller when some lines are parallel, or when some vertices are crossed by more than two lines. [4] An arrangement can be rotated, if necessary, to avoid axis-parallel lines. After this step, each ray that forms an edge of the arrangement extends either upward or downward from its endpoint; it cannot be horizontal.

  5. Collineation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collineation

    Simply, a collineation is a one-to-one map from one projective space to another, or from a projective space to itself, such that the images of collinear points are themselves collinear. One may formalize this using various ways of presenting a projective space. Also, the case of the projective line is special, and hence generally treated ...

  6. General position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_position

    Similarly, three generic points in the plane are not collinear; if three points are collinear (even stronger, if two coincide), this is a degenerate case. This notion is important in mathematics and its applications, because degenerate cases may require an exceptional treatment; for example, when stating general theorems or giving precise ...

  7. Collinear antenna array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collinear_antenna_array

    Collinear dipole array on repeater for radio station JOHG-FM on Mt. Shibisan, Kagoshima, Japan. In telecommunications, a collinear antenna array (sometimes spelled colinear antenna array) is an array of dipole or quarter-wave antennas mounted in such a manner that the corresponding elements of each antenna are parallel and collinear; that is, they are located along a common axis.

  8. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    Two distinct planes are either parallel or they intersect in a line. A line is either parallel to a plane, intersects it at a single point, or is contained in the plane. Two distinct lines perpendicular to the same plane must be parallel to each other. Two distinct planes perpendicular to the same line must be parallel to each other.

  9. Skew lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_lines

    Similarly, in three-dimensional space a very small perturbation of any two parallel or intersecting lines will almost certainly turn them into skew lines. Therefore, any four points in general position always form skew lines. In this sense, skew lines are the "usual" case, and parallel or intersecting lines are special cases.
