    Egg-and-dart molding at the top of an Ionic capital at the Jefferson Memorial. Egg-and-dart, also known as egg-and-tongue, egg-and-anchor, or egg-and-star, [1] is an ornamental device adorning the fundamental quarter-round, convex ovolo profile of moulding, consisting of alternating details on the face of the ovolo—typically an egg-shaped object alternating with a V-shaped element [1] (e.g ...

    The device would measure the hand, and the numbers needed to match the punched holes of a user ID card to activate the circuit to be identified. David Sidlauskas was also a major player in the hand geometry device production, and he patented Handkey ID3D, the first hand scanner that worked in 3D that involved an optical measuring plate, camera ...

    For example, a bridge might oscillates with a period of a few seconds due to the influence of traffic and wind and also be shifting gradually due to tectonic changes. Regularity: ranges from a days, weeks or years for manual monitoring and continuous for automatic monitoring systems. Measurement interval: ranges from fractions of a second to hours.

  8. Herringbone (cloth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herringbone_(cloth)

    Herringbone, also called broken twill weave, [1] describes a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern usually found in twill fabric. It is distinguished from a plain chevron by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag. The pattern is called herringbone because it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish. [2]

    Animation of construction of a pentagon using a compass and straightedge. A mathematical instrument is a tool or device used in the study or practice of mathematics.In geometry, construction of various proofs was done using only a compass and straightedge; arguments in these proofs relied only on idealized properties of these instruments and literal construction was regarded as only an ...
