ellipsoid

Note that the same ellipsoid may be known by different names.

The Earth is an ellipsoid, probably due to its rotation.

The systems are needed because the earth is an imperfect ellipsoid.

The older ellipsoids are named for the individual who derived them and the year of development is given.

Let us consider the case in which the set can be represented as the intersection of ellipsoids.

The ellipsoid at the apex of the belt held his attention.

Therefore the data have to be corrected exactly with respect to the global ellipsoid.

The difference between a sphere and a reference ellipsoid for Earth is small, only about one part in 300.

At this point, it is helpful to consider the mathematics of ellipsoids.

Their own trajectory ellipsoid blinks its way to that point.

Many different reference ellipsoids have been used in the history of geodesy.

Any position on or above the Earth's reference ellipsoid can be precisely given with this method.

In practice, many reference ellipsoids have been developed over the centuries from different surveys.

This means it is an ellipsoid with two equal semi-diameters.

It is possible for many different coordinate systems to be defined upon the same reference ellipsoid.

The following table lists some of the most common ellipsoids:

A silver ellipsoid appeared in the upper right corner of her visual field.

An alternative is to base height measurements on an ellipsoid of the entire earth.

The definition must be accompanied with a specification of the ellipsoid.

The environments, such as the trees and the shrubs, are also constructed in ellipsoids.

It refers to a mean Earth ellipsoid, the parameters of which are set by international convention.

The reason for the value of 2 is that the ellipsoid must rotate twice during a transition.

Floats are made in many different shapes, with spheres and ellipsoids being the most common.

The silvery ellipsoid started to move, heading for the far foot tunnel.

Most often, fracture profiles will look like either a blade, ellipsoid, or circle.

These species produce a bright orange-red, ellipsoid berry 1-2-cm deep.

Raphael's long, ellipsoid trajectory and the escape ship's translation point are almost intersecting.

It has an ellipsoid form that has fascinated me for a long time and that I can now build.

The cuttlebone is relatively ellipsoid in shape.

The spindle apparatus is vaguely ellipsoid in cross section and tapers at the ends.

It produces "small, red, ellipsoid fruit" that resemble "the true coffee bean" in shape and attract birds.

Seeds are ellipsoid smooth and mottled.

This characteristic, in addition to the relatively large, ellipsoid spores can be used to distinguish it from other morphologically similar Parasola species.

New ellipsoid headlights are integrated into the front fenders, and glass is flush to minimize interior noise and help with aerodynamics.

"There is obviously an ellipsoid shell here, the foci being New Hope and Alphanor.

They are ellipsoid berries of 6-7 mm in diameter, that are warty when young but smooth and orange when ripe.

Meteyi beads are often ellipsoid in cross section and they have a rough surface on the side which touched the bottom of the mold during firing.

The fruit is a dehiscent, ellipsoid capsule with two locules each containing two seeds.

Described as "three-and-a-bit" kilometer long ship with a material hull, rather than the later design of a set of decks inside nested, ellipsoid force fields.

Circumaural headphones (sometimes called full size headphones) have circular or ellipsoid earpads that encompass the ears.

E24s produced after June 1987 came with new, ellipsoid headlamps which projects beam more directly onto road surface (newly introduced E32 series also sporting them).

Basidia are club-shaped, bearing four smooth, ellipsoid basidiospores, measuring 4-7 by 3-5 μm.

Typhula quisquiliaris spores are narrowly ellipsoid, and measure from 9 to 14 by 4 to 5.5 micrometres (μm).

The spores are usually ellipsoid or cylindrical in shape, hyaline or pale brown, smooth, more or less smooth-walled, and truncated at the base.

The spores of M. nargan are roughly ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline, and measure 7.4-10.4 by 4.8-7.1 μm.

The basidiospores are mostly ellipsoid, smooth, 6.5 to 10 by 4.5 to 8 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells.

The archeological results reflected occupation during the middle Neolithic, respectively, the settlement was established on the major part consisted by half earth grounded ellipsoid huts protected with ditches.

Marasmius sasicola produces colourless, ellipsoid basidiospores of between 8 and 10 by 4 to 6 micrometres (μm).

It was much smaller, only a curtain wall, an outer bailey partitioned off from the inner bailey surrounding the keep, and four towers situated around its irregular, ellipsoid shape.

The screen cycled through false-color depictions of various spectra, and it became evident to Riker that the dark, ellipsoid cloud engulfed a star and its inner planets.
