  2. Maneuverable reentry vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuverable_reentry_vehicle

    A small triangular prism was placed at the aft end of this flat area. The prism was split into two halves, left and right, to form two flaps, sometimes referred to as a "split-windward flap". To pitch the vehicle, the flaps were both raised into the airstream and caused the nose to move in the opposite direction and thereby produce lift ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex-base_system

    In arithmetic, a complex-base system is a positional numeral system whose radix is an imaginary (proposed by Donald Knuth in 1955 [1] [2]) or complex number (proposed by S. Khmelnik in 1964 [3] and Walter F. Penney in 1965 [4] [5] [6]).

  5. Porro prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porro_prism

    Porro prisms are most often used in pairs, forming a double Porro prism. A second prism rotated 90° with respect to the first, is placed such that light will traverse both prisms. The net effect of the prism system is a beam parallel to but displaced from its original direction, with the image rotated 180°.

  9. Cyclotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotropia

    Cyclotropia cannot be corrected with prism spectacles in the way other eye position disorders are corrected. [12] (Nonetheless two Dove prisms can be employed to rotate the visual field in experimental settings.) For cyclodeviations above 5 degrees, surgery has normally been recommended. [13]
