  2. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

    The film itself is 35 mm wide (1.38 in), but the area between the perforations is 24.89 mm × 18.67 mm (0.980 in × 0.735 in), leaving the de facto ratio of 1.33:1. [3] With a space designated for the standard optical soundtrack , and the frame size reduced to maintain an image that is wider than tall; this resulted in the Academy aperture of ...

  3. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    The Charrière is measured by the ''outer'' diameter, and is defined as 1 Fr = 1/3 mm, and thus 1 mm = 3 Fr; therefore the diameter of a round catheter in millimetres can be determined by dividing the French size by 3. The French units roughly correspond to the outer circumference of the catheter (see table below).

  4. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.

  5. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    For example, doubling the thickness of fiberglass batting will double its R-value, perhaps from 2.0 m 2 ⋅K/W for 110 mm of thickness, up to 4.0 m 2 ⋅K/W for 220 mm of thickness. Heat transfer through an insulating layer is analogous to adding resistance to a series circuit with a fixed voltage.

  6. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    The common 1" outside diameter circular video camera tubes have a rectangular photo sensitive area about 16 mm on the diagonal, so a digital sensor with a 16 mm diagonal size is a 1" video tube equivalent. The name of a 1" digital sensor should more accurately be read as "one inch video camera tube equivalent" sensor.

  7. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

    Available in numerous spot and flood beam spreads. Like all light bulbs, the number represents the diameter of the bulb in 1 ⁄ 8 of an inch. Therefore, a PAR 16 is 51 mm (2 in) in diameter, a PAR 20 is 64 mm (2.5 in) in diameter, PAR 30 is 95 mm (3.75 in) and a PAR 38 is 121 mm (4.75 in) in diameter. A package of four 60-watt light bulbs

  8. Canon EF 50mm lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EF_50mm_lens

    EF50mm f/1.4 USM, showing its large maximum aperture; at f/ 1.4 and 50 mm, the entrance pupil diameter is 35.7 mm. The EF50mm f/1.4 USM is a consumer- and professional-level lens. It is the least expensive f/ 1.4 aperture lens that Canon currently manufactures. It is constructed with a plastic body and a metal mount.

  9. Metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre

    One metre is exactly equivalent to 5 000 / 127 inches and to 1 250 / 1 143 yards. A simple mnemonic to assist with conversion is "three 3s": 1 metre is nearly equivalent to 3 feet 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 inches. This gives an overestimate of 0.125 mm. The ancient Egyptian cubit was about 0.5 m (surviving rods are 523–529 mm).
