Burr Puzzle
A burr puzzle is an interlocking puzzle consisting of notched sticks, combined to make one Three-dimensional space, three-dimensional, usually Symmetry, symmetrical unit. These puzzles are traditionally made of wood, but versions made of plastic or metal can also be found. Quality burr puzzles are usually precision-made for easy sliding and accurate fitting of the pieces. In recent years the definition of "burr" is expanding, as puzzle designers use this name for puzzles not necessarily of stick-based pieces. History The term "burr" is first mentioned in a 1928 book by Edwin Wyatt, but the text implies that it was commonly used before. The term is attributed to the finished shape of many of these puzzles, resembling a seed burr (fruit), burr. The origin of burr puzzles is unknown. The first known record appears in a 1698 engraving used as a Book frontispiece, frontispiece page of Chambers's Cyclopaedia. Later records can be found in Germany, German catalogs from the late 18th cent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burr Distribution
In probability theory, statistics and econometrics, the Burr Type XII distribution or simply the Burr distribution is a continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. It is also known as the Singh–Maddala distribution and is one of a number of different distributions sometimes called the "generalized log-logistic distribution". Definitions Probability density function The Burr (Type XII) distribution has probability density function: : \begin f(x;c,k) & = ck\frac \\[6pt] f(x;c,k,\lambda) & = \frac \left( \frac \right)^ \left[1 + \left(\frac\right)^c\right]^ \end The \lambda parameter scales the underlying variate and is a positive real. Cumulative distribution function The cumulative distribution function is: :F(x;c,k) = 1-\left(1+x^c\right)^ :F(x;c,k,\lambda) = 1 - \left[1 + \left(\frac\right)^c \right]^ Applications It is most commonly used to model household income, see for example: Household income in the United States#Income distr ...

A brush cut is a type of haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut short in every dimension. The top and the upper portion of the back and sides are cut the same length, generally between , following the contour of the head. The hair below the upper portion of the sides and back of the head is tapered Regular haircut#Short, short or Regular haircut#Semi-short, semi-short with a clipper, in the same manner as a crew cut.

A brush that is cut at less than inch on top may be referred to as a burr. A brush that is cut at inch or longer on top, and especially one that shows natural curl, depending on length, may be referred to as a short brush cut or brush cut. Brush cuts are traditionally groomed with hair control wax, commonly referred to as brush wax. Culture A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Burl
A burl (American English) or burr (British English) is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. Burl formation is typically a result of some form of stress such as an injury or a viral or fungal infection. More scientifically, a burl is “the result of hyperplasia, a greatly abnormal proliferation of xylem production by the vascular cambium”. Burls yield a very peculiar and highly figured wood sought after in woodworking, and some items may reach high prices on the wood market. Poaching of burl specimens and damaging the trees in the process poses a problem in some areas. Description A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress. It may be caused by a virus, fungus or ''Agrobacterium tumefaciens'' entering the plant through an injury. Most burls grow beneath the ground, attached to the roots as a type ...

Burr Mill
A burr grinder or like mistakenly called burr mill. —is a mill used to grind hard, small food products between two revolving abrasive surfaces separated by a distance usually set by the user. When the two surfaces are set far apart, the resulting ground material is coarser, and when the two surfaces are set closer together, the resulting ground material is finer and smaller. Often, the device includes a revolving screw that pushes the food through. It may be powered electrically or manually. Burr mills do not heat the ground product by friction as much as blade grinders ("choppers"), and produce particles of a uniform size determined by the separation between the grinding surfaces. Food burr mills are typically designed for a specific purpose, such as grinding coffee beans, dried peppercorns, coarse salt, various spices, or poppy seeds as an example. Coffee mills for volume consumption are usually powered by electric motors, but fast and precise manual mills have experience ...

Burr (cutter)
Burrs or burs (sometimes called rotary files) are small cutting tools; not to be confused with small pieces of metal formed from cutting metal, used in die grinders, rotary tools, or dental drills. The name may be considered appropriate when their small-sized head (3 mm diameter shaft) is compared to a bur (fruit seed with hooks) or their teeth are compared to a metal burr. Description Burrs are a rotary analog to files that cut linearly (hence their alternate name, rotary files). They share many similarities with endmills and router bits, with the notable distinction that the latter typically have their toolpaths dictated by the machine, while burrs are frequently operated in a freehand manner. However, there is substantial overlap in the use and toolpath control of these various classes of cutters, and the outcomes accomplished with them. For example, endmills can be used in routers, and burrs can be used like endmills in milling by CNC or manual machine tools. ...
