  2. Thyromental distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyromental_distance

    Thyromental distance (TMD) measurement is a method commonly used to predict the difficulty of intubation [1] and is measured from the thyroid notch to the tip of the jaw with the head extended. [2] If it is less than 7.0 cm with hard scarred tissues , it indicates possible difficult intubation.

  3. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    A diagram illustrating great-circle distance (drawn in red) between two points on a sphere, P and Q. Two antipodal points, u and v are also shown. The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them. This arc is the shortest path ...

  4. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  5. Metric tensor (general relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_tensor_(general...

    In general relativity, the metric tensor (in this context often abbreviated to simply the metric) is the fundamental object of study.The metric captures all the geometric and causal structure of spacetime, being used to define notions such as time, distance, volume, curvature, angle, and separation of the future and the past.

  6. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    Outer cone distance in bevel gears is the distance from the apex of the pitch cone to the outer ends of the teeth. When not otherwise specified, the short term cone distance is understood to be outer cone distance. Mean cone distance in bevel gears is the distance from the apex of the pitch cone to the middle of the face width.

  7. Metric tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_tensor

    On a Riemannian manifold M, the length of a smooth curve between two points p and q can be defined by integration, and the distance between p and q can be defined as the infimum of the lengths of all such curves; this makes M a metric space. Conversely, the metric tensor itself is the derivative of the distance function (taken in a suitable ...

  8. Ulnar tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_tunnel_syndrome

    Long distance bicycle rides are associated with transient alterations in ulnar nerve function. [3] Sensory loss in the ring and small fingers is usually due to ulnar nerve entrapment at the cubital tunnel near the elbow, which is known as cubital tunnel syndrome , although it can uncommonly be due to compression at the wrist.

  9. ΔT (timekeeping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ΔT_(timekeeping)

    TT-UT1 2000+ ΔT vs. time from 1657 to 2022 [1] [2] In precise timekeeping , Δ T ( Delta T , delta- T , delta T , or D T ) is a measure of the cumulative effect of the departure of the Earth's rotation period from the fixed-length day of International Atomic Time (86,400 seconds).
