    On the other end, a cone shape is also spring-loaded and is used to locate the center of a previously drilled hole. This style of edge finder is considered to be the most accurate, and its accuracy can be further improved through the use of a collet. In proper setups, a repeatability of 0.0002 in (0.0051 mm) or better can be obtained.

  3. StarrBoard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarrBoard

    The StarrBoard is a stringed musical instrument invented by John D. Starrett and patented on July 23, 1985. [1] It is a tapping instrument similar in concept to the Chapman Stick except that it is played on a stand (like a keyboard) rather than worn on the body. Another difference is that it is played with fingers parallel to the strings rather ...

    A partially completed Eternity II edge-matching puzzle. An edge-matching puzzle is a type of tiling puzzle involving tiling an area with (typically regular) polygons whose edges are distinguished with colours or patterns, in such a way that the edges of adjacent tiles match.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canny_edge_detector

    Compare the edge strength of the current pixel with the edge strength of the pixel in the positive and negative gradient directions. If the edge strength of the current pixel is the largest compared to the other pixels in the mask with the same direction (e.g., a pixel that is pointing in the y-direction will be compared to the pixel above and ...

  7. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

    Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.

  8. Edge detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_detection

    As a pre-processing step to edge detection, a smoothing stage, typically Gaussian smoothing, is almost always applied (see also noise reduction). The edge detection methods that have been published mainly differ in the types of smoothing filters that are applied and the way the measures of edge strength are computed.

  9. Stud finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stud_finder

    Edge finders are the most basic internal capacitor detectors. Edge finders detect the edges of the stud or other material behind the walling. This finder must first be calibrated over an empty section of the wall, and then it can be moved along the wall until it senses a change in density - such as the edge of a stud.
