  2. Spherical conic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_conic

    In mathematics, a spherical conic or sphero-conic is a curve on the sphere, the intersection of the sphere with a concentric elliptic cone. It is the spherical analog of a conic section ( ellipse , parabola , or hyperbola ) in the plane, and as in the planar case, a spherical conic can be defined as the locus of points the sum or difference of ...

  3. Conical coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_coordinates

    Coordinate surfaces of the conical coordinates. The constants b and c were chosen as 1 and 2, respectively. The red sphere represents r = 2, the blue elliptic cone aligned with the vertical z-axis represents μ=cosh(1) and the yellow elliptic cone aligned with the (green) x-axis corresponds to ν 2 = 2/3.

  4. Light cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone

    If using a system of units where the speed of light in vacuum is defined as exactly 1, for example if space is measured in light-seconds and time is measured in seconds, then, provided the time axis is drawn orthogonally to the spatial axes, as the cone bisects the time and space axes, it will show a slope of 45°, because light travels a ...

  5. Immunoglobulin light chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_light_chain

    Each light chain is composed of two tandem immunoglobulin domains: one constant (C L) domain; one variable domain (V L) that is important for binding antigen; The approximate length of a light chain protein is from 211 to 217 amino acids. [3] The constant region determines what class (kappa or lambda) the light chain is. [8]

  6. Catenary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary

    A chain hanging from points forms a catenary. The silk on a spider's web forming multiple elastic catenaries.. In physics and geometry, a catenary (US: / ˈ k æ t ən ɛr i / KAT-ən-err-ee, UK: / k ə ˈ t iː n ər i / kə-TEE-nər-ee) is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field.

  7. Lambert conformal conic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_conformal_conic...

    Aeronautical chart on Lambert conformal conic projection with standard parallels at 33°N and 45°N. A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts, portions of the State Plane Coordinate System, and many national and regional mapping systems.

  8. Cholesteric liquid crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteric_liquid_crystal

    Displays based on this technology are called “bistable” and don’t need any power to maintain the information (zero power). Because of the reflective nature of the ChLCD, these displays can be perfectly read under sunlight conditions. Examples of compounds known to form cholesteric phases are hydroxypropyl cellulose and cholesteryl benzoate.

  9. Second-order cone programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_cone_programming

    The standard or unit second-order cone of dimension + is defined as + = {[] |,, ‖ ‖}. The second-order cone is also known by quadratic cone or ice-cream cone or Lorentz cone. ...
