  2. Python (missile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(missile)

    Python-5, the latest member in the Python family of AAMs A Python-5 AAM being fired from Indian Air Force HAL Tejas fighter. The Python-5 [13] [14] is currently the most capable visual range air-to-air missile in Israel's inventory. As a short range air-to-air missiles, it is capable of "lock-on after launch" (LOAL), and has full-sphere/all ...

  3. SPYDER - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPYDER

    It implements the Python-5 and Derby missiles of the same company. The SPYDER launcher is designed to fire Python-5 and Derby surface-to-air missiles which share full commonality with the air-to-air missiles. There are two variants of the SPYDER: the SPYDER-SR (short range) and the SPYDER-MR (medium range).

  4. Feret diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feret_diameter

    The diameter of an object measured with a caliper is sometimes called the caliper diameter; it is the same as Feret diameter. Feret diameter applied to a projection of a 3D object. The Feret diameter or Feret's diameter is a measure of an object's size along a specified direction. In general, it can be defined as the distance between the two ...

  5. PL-8 (missile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PL-8_(missile)

    The performance of Israeli Python-3 anti-air missile in the Lebanon conflict was observed by the Chinese military, People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) was reportedly impressed with this missile, and paid for licensed production as the PL-8 AAM in the 1980s, with the plan of producing the Python-3 with 100% local components approved by the PLAAF in 1982. [1]

  6. Equivalent spherical diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_spherical_diameter

    Strictly speaking, the laser diffraction equivalent diameter is the diameter of a sphere yielding, on the same detector geometry, the same diffraction pattern as the particle. In the size regimen where the Fraunhofer approximation is valid, this diameter corresponds to the projected area diameter of the particle in random orientation. For ...

    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.

  8. Rotating calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_calipers

    Sequence of probes around the convex hull of a polygon to determine its diameter using Rotating Caliper method. In computational geometry, the method of rotating calipers is an algorithm design technique that can be used to solve optimization problems including finding the width or diameter of a set of points.

  9. BNC connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector

    In 1944, the US Navy called the designers together to find a single, standard design acceptable to all. Paul Neill , the inventor of the original N connector, developed a prototype connector which had a constant 50 ohm impedance at frequencies beyond 1 GHz, used a bayonet fastening (faster to use than a threaded one), and was easier to ...
