  2. Cardioid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioid

    A cardioid microphone exhibits an acoustic pickup pattern that, when graphed in two dimensions, resembles a cardioid (any 2d plane containing the 3d straight line of the microphone body). In three dimensions, the cardioid is shaped like an apple centred around the microphone which is the "stalk" of the apple.

  3. Limaçon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limaçon

    Construction of the limaçon r = 2 + cos(π – θ) with polar coordinates' origin at (x, y) = (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 0). In geometry, a limaçon or limacon / ˈ l ɪ m ə s ɒ n /, also known as a limaçon of Pascal or Pascal's Snail, is defined as a roulette curve formed by the path of a point fixed to a circle when that circle rolls around the outside of a circle of equal radius.

  4. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    The arc length (length of a line segment) defined by a polar function is found by the integration over the curve r(φ). Let L denote this length along the curve starting from points A through to point B, where these points correspond to φ = a and φ = b such that 0 < b − a < 2π.

  5. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    Thus, the 'size' of this region is measured by determining the length of the arc between the two angles. [34] If the root point of the main cardioid is the cusp at = /, then the main cardioid is the /-bulb. The root point of any other bulb is just the point where this bulb is attached to the main cardioid.

  6. Microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone

    A super-cardioid microphone is similar to a hyper-cardioid, except there is more front pickup and less rear pickup. It is produced with about a 5:3 ratio, with nulls at 126.9°. This ratio maximizes the front-back ratio; the energy ratio between front and rear radiation. [50] [51] The sub-cardioid microphone has no null points. It is produced ...

  7. Coin rotation paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_rotation_paradox

    The outer coin makes two rotations rolling once around the inner coin. The path of a single point on the edge of the moving coin is a cardioid.. The coin rotation paradox is the counter-intuitive math problem that, when one coin is rolled around the rim of another coin of equal size, the moving coin completes not one but two full rotations after going all the way around the stationary coin ...

  8. Space cardioid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Cardioid

    The space cardioid is a 3-dimensional curve derived from the cardioid. It has a parametric representation using trigonometric functions, as follows: [1] ...

  9. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

    Instead of triangulation, a second dipole or vertical antenna can be electrically combined with a loop or a loopstick antenna. Called a sense antenna, connecting and matching the second antenna changes the combined radiation pattern to a cardioid, with a null in only one (less precise) direction. The general direction of the transmitter can be ...
