    The GDC has its offices in Gibson Hall, located in the State Offices South at Tift College in Forsyth, Georgia. [1]Until 2009, the Georgia Department of Corrections headquarters was in the James H. "Sloppy" Floyd Veterans Memorial Building in Atlanta.

  3. Prism (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)

    Prism spectacles with a single prism perform a relative displacement of the two eyes, thereby correcting eso-, exo, hyper- or hypotropia. In contrast, spectacles with prisms of equal power for both eyes, called yoked prisms (also: conjugate prisms , ambient lenses or performance glasses ) shift the visual field of both eyes to the same extent.

  4. Wollaston prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollaston_prism

    A Wollaston prism. A Wollaston prism is an optical device, invented by William Hyde Wollaston, that manipulates polarized light. It separates light into two separate linearly polarized outgoing beams with orthogonal polarization. [1] The two beams will be polarized according to the optical axis of the two right angle prisms.

  5. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberrations_of_the_eye

    Correction of spherocylindrical refractive errors has been possible for nearly two centuries following Airy's development of methods to measure and correct ocular astigmatism. It has only recently [ when? ] become possible to measure the aberrations of the eye and with the advent of refractive surgery it might be possible to correct certain ...

  6. Failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_reporting...

    A FRACAS system may attempt to manage multiple failure reports and produces a history of failure and corrective actions. FRACAS records the problems related to a product or process and their associated root causes and failure analyses to assist in identifying and implementing corrective actions.

  7. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases.

  8. Roof prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_prism

    A roof pentaprism used in Single-lens reflex cameras; the lower right face is the roof (dach). An Amici roof prism. A roof prism, also called a Dachkanten prism or Dach prism (from German: Dachkante, lit. "roof edge"), is a reflective prism containing a section where two faces meet at a 90° angle, resembling the roof of a building and thus the name.

  9. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    This plane often represents the best compromise image location in a system with astigmatism. The amount of aberration due to astigmatism is proportional to the square of the angle between the rays from the object and the optical axis of the system. With care, an optical system can be designed to reduce or eliminate astigmatism.
