  2. Octahedral prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_prism

    The two octahedral cells project onto the entire volume of this envelope, while the 8 triangular prismic cells project onto its 8 triangular faces. The triangular-prism-first orthographic projection of the octahedral prism into 3D space has a hexagonal prismic envelope. The two octahedral cells project onto the two hexagonal faces.

    A high-index reflective subgroup is the prismatic octahedral symmetry, [4,3,2] (), order 96, subgroup index 4, (Du Val #44 (O/C 2;O/C 2) *, Conway ± 1 / 24 [O×O].2). The truncated cubic prism has this symmetry with Coxeter diagram and the cubic prism is a lower symmetry construction of the tesseract, as .

    Gyroscopes measure the angular rate of rotational movement about one or more axes. Gyroscopes can measure complex motion accurately in multiple dimensions, tracking the position and rotation of a moving object unlike accelerometers which can only detect the fact that an object has moved or is moving in a particular direction.

    They model joint axes: a revolute joint makes any connected rigid body rotate about the line of its axis; a prismatic joint makes the connected rigid body translate along its axis line. They model edges of the polyhedral objects used in many task planners or sensor processing modules.

  6. Stewart platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_platform

    Recent applications: the rebirth of interest for a mechanical testing machine based on Gough-Stewart platform occurred in the mid '90s. [13] They are often biomedical applications (for example spinal study [14]) because of the complexity and large amplitude of the motions needed to reproduce human or animal behaviour. Such requirements are also ...

  7. Uniform 4-polytope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_4-polytope

    A prismatic polytope is a Cartesian product of two polytopes of lower dimension; familiar examples are the 3-dimensional prisms, which are products of a polygon and a line segment. The prismatic uniform 4-polytopes consist of two infinite families: Polyhedral prisms: products of a line segment and a uniform polyhedron.

  8. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    PSDs can be divided into two classes which work according to different principles: In the first class, the sensors have an isotropic sensor surface that supplies continuous position data. The second class has discrete sensors in an raster-like structure on the sensor surface that supply local discrete data.

  9. Octahedral cupola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedral_cupola

    In 4-dimensional geometry, the octahedral cupola is a 4-polytope bounded by one octahedron and a parallel rhombicuboctahedron, connected by 20 triangular prisms, and 6 square pyramids. [ 1 ] Related polytopes
