  2. Intersection (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(set_theory)

    So the intersection of the empty family should be the universal set (the identity element for the operation of intersection), [4] but in standard set theory, the universal set does not exist. However, when restricted to the context of subsets of a given fixed set X {\displaystyle X} , the notion of the intersection of an empty collection of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_road_transport...

    An interchange between a freeway and a minor road where the off-ramp diverges only slightly from the freeway and runs directly across the minor road at an at-grade intersection, becoming an on-ramp that returns to the freeway in similar fashion. Directional interchange. See stack interchange. Distributor road. See collector road

  4. Intersection - Wikipedia

    The intersection (red) of two disks (white and red with black boundaries). The circle (black) intersects the line (purple) in two points (red). The disk (yellow) intersects the line in the line segment between the two red points. The intersection of D and E is shown in grayish purple. The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty ...

  5. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces). The simplest case in Euclidean geometry is the line–line intersection between two distinct lines, which either is one point (sometimes called a vertex) or does not exist (if the lines are parallel). Other types ...

    π-system – Family of sets closed under intersection; Ring of sets – Family closed under unions and relative complements; Russell's paradox – Paradox in set theory (or Set of sets that do not contain themselves) σ-algebra – Algebraic structure of set algebra; σ-ring – Family of sets closed under countable unions

    The Yowa cross (Kongo cosmogram) "Is a fork in the road (or even a forked branch) can allude to this crucially important symbol of passage and communication between worlds. The 'turn' in the path,' i.e., the crossroads, remains an indelible concept in the Kongo-Atlantic world, as the point of intersection between the ancestors and the living."

  8. Line–plane intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–plane_intersection

    The intersection of a ray of light with each plane is used to produce an image of the surface. In vision-based 3D reconstruction, a subfield of computer vision, depth values are commonly measured by so-called triangulation method, which finds the intersection between light plane and ray reflected toward camera.

  9. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0. We can represent these two lines in line coordinates as U 1 = (a 1, b 1, c 1) and U 2 = (a 2, b 2, c 2). The intersection P′ of two lines is then simply given by [4]
