  2. Helmholtz resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance

    The concept of Helmholtz resonance is fundamental in various fields, including acoustics, engineering, and physics. The resonator itself, termed a Helmholtz resonator, consists of two key components: a cavity and a neck. The size and shape of these components are crucial in determining the resonant frequency, which is the frequency at which the ...

  3. History of photographic lens design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photographic...

    Reversed achromatic lens. Charles Chevalier's Paris optical firm produced lenses for both Niépce and Daguerre for their experiments in photography.In 1829 [3] [citation needed], Chevalier created an achromatic lens (a two-element lens made from crown glass and flint glass) to cut down on chromatic aberration for Daguerre's experiments.

  4. Reticulocyte production index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocyte_production_index

    The reticulocyte production index (RPI), also called a corrected reticulocyte count (CRC), is a calculated value used in the diagnosis of anemia.This calculation is necessary because the raw reticulocyte count is misleading in anemic patients.

  5. Information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory

    The landmark event establishing the discipline of information theory and bringing it to immediate worldwide attention was the publication of Claude E. Shannon's classic paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" in the Bell System Technical Journal in July and October 1948.

  6. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    A burning apparatus consisting of two biconvex lens. A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.A simple lens consists of a single piece of transparent material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually arranged along a common axis.

  7. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    Gravity is computed on the ellipsoid surface using the International Gravity Formula. For studies of subsurface structure, the free-air anomaly is further adjusted by a correction for the mass below the measurement point and above the reference of mean sea level or a local datum elevation. [3] This defines the Bouguer anomaly.

  8. CIELAB color space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIELAB_color_space

    The three coordinates of CIELAB represent the lightness of the color (L* = 0 yields black and L* = 100 indicates white), its position between red and green (a*, where negative values indicate green and positive values indicate red) and its position between yellow and blue (b*, where negative values indicate blue and positive values indicate yellow).

  9. Applied Physics Laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_Physics_Laboratory

    The modern Applied Physics Laboratory is located in Laurel, Maryland, and spans 461 acres with more than 30 buildings on site. Additional auxiliary campuses exist in the surrounding areas. [21] The campus includes multiple cutting-edge innovation and collaboration spaces as well as state-of-the-art labs and test facilities. [22]
