DEF

The residual set of an Apollonian packing.

CONT

The Apollonian construction concludes with five circles, three given and two Apollonian, which together define six circular triangles. Repeating the same procedure, we draw the largest inscribed circle in each triangle. Infinite further repetition is called Apollonian packing. To the resulting infinite collection of circles one adds its limit points, and one obtains a set I call Apollonian net. A portion of net within a circular triangle ... is to be called Apollonian gasket.

CONT

Formation of an Apollonian gasket : the points that are never inside any of the circles form a set of zero area which is, as it were, more than a line, but less than a surface. Its fractal dimension therefore lies between 1 and 2, though its exact value is not known. It is approximately 1. 3.

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

More specifically, I conjecture that a drop of water falling at random is almost certain to fall within a cup. If this conjecture is correct, the cups’ surfaces are a wild extrapolate of the terraced fields in southeast Asia. I call them Devil' s terraces. The points which fail to fall within cups form the cups’ cumulative coastline, and add up to a ramified net, a random form of the Sierpinski gasket. If I am wrong and the cups’ cumulative coastline is in fact of positive rather than zero area, my fallback conjecture is that there is a cup arbitrarily close to every point that does not lie in a cup.

Record 5 1981-12-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
DEF

An adapter having machine threads(straight threads other than pipe or hose series) designed to accommodate a tube on one end or an unthreaded end designed to accommodate a tube. The other end has external or internal machine threads(straight threads other than pipe or hose series) and is designed to facilitate a gasket, preformed packing, washer or the like to form a seal at the boss. It is designed to join a tube or tube fitting to a boss or boss fitting in a straight line on items such as tanks, housings, valve fittings and the like.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tuyauterie et raccords
DEF

Raccord utilisé généralement pour relier, en ligne droite un tuyau à un bossage ou 2 tuyauteries entre elles. Il a des connexions de types différents à chaque extrémité. Si les 2 extrémités sont identiques quant au diamètre, au pas et au profil de filet, l'une doit exiger l'utilisation d'un joint ou de tout autre moyen d'étanchéité.
