Cylinder (algebra)Let [A] be a set and [B \subseteq A]. Then the cylinder of [B] with respect to [A] is the cartesian product [B \times A] of [B] and [A]. Normally, [A] is considered to be the universe of the context and is left away. Fo..
Cylinder (disk drive)A disk drive cylinder is a division of data in a disk drive, as used in the CHS addressing mode of a hard disk (or floppy disk).

Cylinder (geometry)In mathematics, a cylinder is a quadric, i.e. a three-dimensional surface, with the following equation in Cartesian coordinates: [\left(\frac\right)^2 + \left(\frac\right)^2 = 1] This equation is for an elliptic cylinder, a generalization of the ordinary, circular cylinder (a = b). Eve..
Cylinder 1024At boot time the BIOS of many PCs can only access the first 1024 cylinders (0 to 1023) of a hard disk as the BIOS, in Interrupt 13h, uses CHS addressing. CHS addressing only defines 10 bits for the cylinder count (2^10=1024). This is a problem for operating systems on the x86 platform as the BIOS ..
Cylinder bankPiston engines are typically arranged with their pistons in rows, moving inside individual cylinders. This allows the engine block to be built from a single piece of metal, which is machined. Engines often have more than one row of pistons, each with their own block, and these are referred to as cyl..
Cylinder blockThe cylinder block is a machined casting (or sometimes an assembly of modules) containing cylindrically bored holes for the pistons of a multi-cylinder reciprocating internal combustion engine, or for a similarly constructed device such as a pump. It is a complicated part at the heart of an engine, ..
Cylinder blown sheetCylinder blown sheet is a type of hand-blown window glass. It is created with a similar process to broad sheet, but larger cylinders are produced by swinging the cylinder in a trench. The glass is then allowed to cool before the cylinder is cut. The glass is then re-heated and flattened. The resul..

Cylinder sealA cylinder seal was a cylinder engraved with a 'picture story', used in ancient times to roll an impression onto a sheet of wet clay. First appearing in the Near East during the Uruk period, later versions would employ notations with Mesopotamian hieroglyphs. In later periods, they were used to no..
Cylinder setIn mathematics, a cylinder set is the natural open set of a product topology. Cylinder sets are particularly useful in providing the base of the natural topology of the product of a countable number of copies of a set. If V is a finite set, then each element of V can be represented by a letter, and..
Cylinder unloadersCylinder unloaders are a method of load control used mainly in commercial air conditioning systems. On a semi-hermetic (or open) compressor, the heads can be fitted with unloaders which remove a portion of the load from the compressor so that it can run better when full cooling is not needed. Unlo..
Cylindrical coordinate systemThe cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional system which essentially extends circular polar coordinates by adding a third coordinate (usually denoted [h]) which measures the height of a point above the plane. A point P is given as [(r, \theta, h)]. In terms of the C..
Cylindrical multipole momentsCylindrical multipole moments are the coefficients in a series expansion of a potential that varies logarithmically with the distance to a source, i.e., as [\ln \ R]. Such potentials arise in the electric potential of long line charges, and the analogous sources for the magnetic potentia..
