ogive

Ogive was an S shape used in architecture or mathematics.

The attached plastic ogive has five raised dots for night identification.

The central point of the ogive was not directly above me, though; my bed had been placed a few feet off-center.

About one out of every twelve, however, were steel throughout, and had a rounded ogive that came to a sharp point.

Just as it does on an ogive, this construction produces a nose shape with a sharp tip.

This is a very common ogive for high velocity (supersonic) rifle bullets.

It is more prevalent on parabola, ogive and other low drag nose shapes.

An ogive is the curve that forms the outline of a pointed gothic arch.

This was so that the shorter ogive of the new bullet would not have to jump too far to reach the rifling.

She was looking out an open ogive window, into the salt breeze and onward to surf on the reefs beyond the bay.

These components are threaded together so that the outer steel shells of both form a streamlined ogive.

An ogive is a pointed arch.

This construction was the traditional method for obtaining the form of Gothic arches; see Ogive.

One ogive is left unsensitized to measure the nonspecific reactions of the sample.

The tangency point where the sphere meets the tangent ogive can be found from:

The rounds were similar to conventional shells, except for their wood-filled ogive and several layers of assembled fragments.

The simple logistic function varies by less than 0.01 from the cumulative normal ogive across the range, given an arbitrary scale factor.

He had a son and heir, Baldwin, by his first marriage to Ogive of Luxembourg.

The ogive of the bullet was slightly redesigned in the 1910s in order to improve feeding.

In woodworking, an ogive is a type of curve a piece of wood can be shaped in.

The ogive had to be machined into a perfectly symmetrical shape to ensure optimum aerodynamic performance.

Both were based on long narrow shapes with pointed ends, the main difference being that the ogive was pointed on only one end.

Values of K' less than one result in a slimmer shape, whose appearance is similar to that of the secant ogive.

The program was completed by "Ogive," a dance for one man and four women that is set to music by Satie.
