The Klein bottle can be seen as a fiber bundle over S < sup > 1 </ sup > as follows: one takes the square ( modulo the edge identifying equivalence relation ) from above to be E, the total space, while the base space B is given by the unit interval in y, modulo 1 ~ 0.

The beam in the cavity and the output beam of the laser, when travelling in free space ( or a homogenous medium ) rather than waveguides ( as in an optical fiber laser ), can be approximated as a Gaussian beam in most lasers ; such beams exhibit the minimum divergence for a given diameter.

The terms pilus and fimbria ( Latin for ' thread ' or ' fiber '; plural: fimbriae ) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation.

With the viscosity of a sol adjusted into a proper range, both optical quality glass fiber and refractory ceramic fiber can be drawn which are used for fiber optic sensors and thermal insulation, respectively.

In addition, his definition of a tragedy invites our attention, because a serious and important action may very well be one that tests the moral fiber of the author or of the characters.

The luminous efficiency and resolution of single stages, fiber couplers, and finally of the composite tube will be computed.

As it will be shown later, the field-flattening properties of the interstage and output fiber coupler comprise indeed the main advantage of such a design.

It must be remembered that the fiber plates replace a glass window and a ( mica ) membrane, in addition to an optical output lens system.

It wasn't until the late 1990s that feature length projects could be sent over the ' wire ' ( Internet or dedicated fiber links ).

Nonetheless, some argue against this stance because straighter hair ends tend to point downward while fiber optics requires that light be transmitted at a high angle to the normal of the inner reflective surface.

For this migration, ISDN services will be retired, and fiber optic services are recommended as an alternative.

Expansion boards were made by Richmond Sound Design that allow their show control and sound design software to communicate with their custom hardware frames either by ribbon cable or fiber optic cable for long distances, allowing the Amiga to control up to eight million digitally controlled external audio, lighting, automation, relay and voltage control channels spread around a large theme park, for example.

Plastics are made from fossil hydrocarbons, and carbon fiber, made by pyrolysis of synthetic polyester fibers is used to reinforce plastics to form advanced, lightweight composite materials.

Carbon fiber is made by pyrolysis of extruded and stretched filaments of polyacrylonitrile ( PAN ) and other organic substances.

The typical discus has sides made of plastic, wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber or metal with a metal rim and a metal core to attain the weight.

Following the departure of the British, the French colony of Mauritius began marooning lepers on Diego Garcia, and in 1793 the French established a coconut plantation using slave labour, which also exported cordage made from coconut fiber, and sea cucumbers, known as a delicacy in the orient.

The Boom Operator uses a boom pole, a long pole made of light aluminum or carbon fiber that allows precise positioning of the microphone above or below the Actors, just out of the camera's frame.

The strings are generally made of nylon, gut, carbon fiber or fluorocarbon, or wrapped metal, and are plucked with the fingers using a similar technique to the pedal harp.

The cut should be made to retain 1 meter or more of the fiber, in order to establish equilibrium mode distribution conditions for the second measurement.

A variation of the cutback technique is the substitution method, in which measurements are made on a full length of fiber, and then on a short length of fiber having the same characteristics ( core size, numerical aperture ), with the results from the short length being subtracted to give the results for the full length.
