cone

An ice cream cone

To fashion into the shape of a [[#Noun|cone]]

Any of the small cone-shaped structures in the retina

A space formed by taking the direct product of a given space with a closed interval and identifying all of one end to a point

A unit of volume, applied solely to marijuana and only while it is in a smokable state; roughly 1.5 cubic centimetres, depending on use

The fruit of a conifer

The part of the hop plant used in brewing, consisting of the flowers

Thin, finger-length pyramid of ceramic material made to bend and melt at prescribed temperatures, providing a visual indication of temperature in the kiln

A shell of the genus Conus, having a conical form

A specialized nerve cell in the retina, which detects color Most common in the macula

a shape whose base is a circle and whose sides taper up to a point

A set, C, with the property that if x is in C, then ax is in C for all a in R+ A convex cone is a cone that is also a convex set Equivalently, C is a convex cone if C = C + C (An example of a cone that is not convex is the union of the axes ) A polyhedral cone is a cone that is also a polyhedron; equivalently, C is a polyhedral cone if there exists a matrix A such that C = {x: Ax <= 0} (An example of a cone that is not polyhedral is {(x,y,z): x2+y2-z2 =0} ) See each of the following special cones

The figures below show a right cone and an oblique cone The base of a cone is a circle and its interior The radius of a cone is the radius of the base The vertex of a cone is a point not in the same plane as the base The altitude of a cone is the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the plane of the base The height of a cone is the length of the altitude If the line segment connecting the vertex of a cone with the center of its base is perpendicular to the base, then it is a right cone  (Lesson 11 2)

visual receptor cell sensitive to color

More generally, any solid having a vertical point and bounded by a surface which is described by a straight line always passing through that vertical point; a solid having a circle for its base and tapering to a point or vertex

(1) The rolling mechanism supporting the cutting edge of a drill bit (2) The liner which is implanted in the shaped cavity of shaped charges (3) A downward displacement of a gas-liquid isosaturation surface, or upward displacement of an oil-water isosaturation surface Such displacement occurs around the well bore in some wells with high oil production rates See coning

cone-shaped mass of ovule- or spore-bearing scales or bracts

thin, tapered length of molded ceramic materials formulated to melt at a prescribed temperature providing an indication of temperature inside the kiln Also the temperature of firing for a specific process or clay body, ranging from cone 022 (low) to cone 12 (high)

{i} object with a flat circular bottom whose sides taper into a point at the top; seed bearing part of an evergreen tree; ice-cream cone
