 Fiber bundle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the smooth category, a G-bundle is a smooth fiber bundle where G is a Lie group and the corresponding action on F is smooth and the transition functions are all smooth maps.
Fiber bundles often come with a group of symmetries which describe the matching conditions between overlapping local trivialization charts.
Another special class of fiber bundles, called principal bundles, are bundles on whose fibers a free and transitive group action by G is given, so that each fiber is a principal homogeneous space.

 Dark fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunications, dark fiber or unlit fiber (or fibre) is the name given to fiber optic cables which have yet to be used.
The creation of a market in dark fiber has also encouraged telcos to swap fiber capacity with one another, thus increasing the reach of their networks in places where their competitor has a presence, in exchange for provision of fiber capacity on places where that competitor has no presence.
Managed dark fiber is a form of wavelength-division multiplexed access to otherwise dark fiber where a simple "pilot" signal is injected into the fiber by the fiber provider for management purposes.

 PolyBenzImidazole fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PolyBenzImidazole or PBI fiber (1983) is a synthetic fiber with no melting point that also does not ignite.
PBI fiber was invented by Carl Shipp “Speed” Marvel, (1894.Sept.11-1988.Jan.04).
The Federal Trade Commission definition for PBI fiber is "A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long chain aromatic polymer having recurring imidazole groups as an integral part of the polymer chain."

The preganglionic fibers from this nucleus terminate in the otic ganglion; the postganglionic fibers from the otic ganglion pass to the parotid gland.
The fibers arise from the nucleus of the abducens nerve and pass ventrally through the formatio reticularis of the pons to emerge in the transverse groove between the caudal edge of the pons and the pyramid.
A few of the fibers are said to pass by the inferior colliculus to terminate in the middle portion of the stratum griseum of the superior colliculus, and are probably concerned with reflex movements of the eyes depending on acoustic stimuli.

 Optical fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For single-mode fiber performance is limited by chromatic dispersion, which occurs because the index of the glass varies slightly depending on the wavelength of the light, and light from real optical transmitters has nonzero spectral width.
Fibers are generally used in pairs, with one fiber of the pair carrying a signal in each direction.
By the waveguide analysis, it is seen that the light energy in the fiber is not completely confined in the core, but, especially in single-mode fibers, a significant fraction of the energy in the bound mode travels in the cladding as an evanescent wave.

 Dietary fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although for years dietary fiber has been said to reduce the risk of colon cancer, one study conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Medicine of over 88,000 women did not show a statistically significant relationship between higher fiber consumption and lower rates of colorectal cancer or adenomas.
Prebiotic soluble fiber supplements (acacia, FOS, inulin) are a promising area of treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (Seidner, 2005) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and Clostridium difficile (May, 1994), due to the short-chain fatty acids they produce, and subsequent anti-inflammatory actions upon the bowel.
Sometimes the excess of coarse dietary fiber causes the ileocecal valve to be stuck open or closed.

 Talk:Fiber bundle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I believe a fibered manifold is a manfold with a fibration, not necessarily a fiber bundle.
Yes, but with our current definitions, the fibers of fiber bundles (and therefore also of vector bundles) must not depend on the component, and I believe in that case Swan's theorem is false: not every projective module comes from a vector bundle with globally constant fiber.
You claim that "Since bundles do not in general have sections, one of the purposes of the theory is to account for their existence".

 Basalt fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fibers typically have a filament diameter of between 9 and 13 µm which is far enough above the respiratory limit of 5 µm to make basalt fiber a suitable replacement for asbestos.
Basalt fiber or fibre is a material made from extremely fine fibers of basalt, which is composed of the minerals plagioclase,
The manufacture basalt fiber requires the melting of the quarried basalt rock to about 1,400°C. The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basalt fiber.

Fiber (American English) or fibre (Commonwealth English) is a class of materials that are continuous filaments or are in discrete elongated pieces, similar to pieces of thread.
Synthetic fibers are a subset of man-made fibers, which are based on synthetic chemicals rather than arising from natural chemicals by a purely physical process.
Such fibers are quite often made from nylon, polyester, or acrylic polymers, although pure polyacrylonitrile fibers are mostly used to make carbon fiber.

 Mitotic spindle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mitotic spindle is a structure of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton involved in mitosis and meiosis.
During spindle assembly, some of the spindle's microtubules attach to the kinetochores that assemble on the centromere portion of the chromosomes.
Once all the chromosomes are aligned with sister chromatids pointing to opposite ends of the spindle, the cell enters anaphase, in which the chromatids separate and move toward their respective poles.

 Optical fiber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fibers are generally used in pairs, with one fiber of the pair carrying a signal in each direction, however bidirectional communications is possible over one strand by using two different wavelengths (colors) and appropriate coupling/splitting devices.
By the waveguide analysis, it is seen that the light energy in the fiber is not completely confined in the core, but, especially in single-mode fibers, a significant fraction of the energy in the bound mode travels in the cladding as an evanescent wave.
Fibers can be used as light guides in medical and other applications where bright light needs to be brought to bear on a target without a clear line-of-sight path.

Nylon fibers are used in a number of textile applications, most often in (1) outerwear and protective fabrics, (2) carpets, (3) high strength textiles such as parachutes and tires, (4) industrial fabrics, and (5) other high-strength fabric applications.
Nylon fibers are made from (or consist mainly of) nylon.

 Cerebellum - Circuitry - Climbing Fibers
Since climbing fibers have synapses all over the dendritic tree of a Purkinje cell, their total excitatory action is extremely strong.
Climbing fibers are "lazy" (but strong), thus Purkinje cells exhibit complex spikes at a rate of about 1 per second.
This single climbing fiber stimulus has a powerful effect in that it results in 4 action potentials (i.e., complex spike) of varying amplitudes in the Purkinje cell.

 Fiber crop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fiber crops are field crops grown for their fibers, which are used to make paper, cloth, or rope.
These crops are generally havestable after a single growing season, as opposed to trees which are typically grown for many years before being harvested for wood pulp fiber.
Botanically, the fibers havested from many of these plants are bast fibers; the fibers come from the phloem tissue of the plant.
