The axis of the cone is the side about which the triangle revolves; the circle traced by the other side containing the right angle is the base; the hypotenuse in any one of its positions is a generator or generating line ; and the intersection of the axis and a generator is termed the vertex.
An oblique cone is the solid or surface traced out by a line which passes through a fixed point and through the circumference of a circle, the fixed point not being on the line through the centre of the circle perpendicular to its plane.
The subcontrary section of an oblique cone is made by a plane not parallel to the base, but perpendicular to the principal section, and inclined to the generating lines in that section at the same angles as the base; this section is a circle.

Let the solid IS be heavier in specific weight than water, and of such thickness that the height of the rampart AI is to the thickness of the solid IO as the excess of the specific weight of the said solid IS over that of water is to the specific weight of water.
Therefore the whole compounded solid AOSB weighs as much as the water that would be comprised in the place of the said compound AOSB; and therefore it shall make an equilibrium and rest, and that same solid IOSC shall sink no farther.

Cone's novel therapy, which is reflected in patents granted various versions of same [U.S. patent #s 4,724,230 (1988), 4,724,234 (1988), and 4,935,450 (1990)] essentially involves manipulating various metabolic and biochemical pathways such that tumors produce prodigious quantities of lactic acid.
The principle shortcoming of the Cone therapy lies in the fact that it is hypoxic clusters within certain solid tumors - and not the entire tumor - which synthesizes and exports lactic acid (Something which came to light after Dr. Cone's original patent application was filed).
The Metabolic Oncolytic Regimen is a marriage of Cone's basic hypoxic tumor cell lysing technique with others geared to deal a lethal blow to both hypoxic and non-hypoxic tumor cells.

The Tolman cone angle is thereafter a simple average of the vertex angles of the separate parts of the ligand.
As the radius of the sphere is increased from a minimum (normally zero) to a maximum (normally encompassing all atoms of interest), the data that represent the intersection of the sphere with the atomic data is used in the steric calculation.
For example, a solid angle profile of a ligand would give the solid angle of that slice of the ligand at each radial distance from the metal, and is a measure of the radial dependence of the ligands angular steric size.

 Charles Thiel's Research on Rare-Earth-Activated Luminescent Materials
This atomic-like behavior of the rare-earth ions' 4f electrons is in sharp contrast to the transition metals' d electrons, whose behavior is strongly affected by the presence of the host lattice and may show significant delocalization and mixing with the electronic states of other ions in the lattice.
Professor Rufus Cone's solid-state physics research group is the world's leader in ultra-high resolution spectroscopy of rare-earth-activated crystalline materials, measuring the narrowest electronic transitions ever observed in solids using optical coherent transient techniques.
The advanced techniques available in Professor Cone's laboratory are used to not only characterize the optically-active impurity ion and determine the wavefunctions of its electronic states, but to also explore the nature of the ion's local environment.

 ArtForum: Anthony McCall: Talks about his "solid light" films   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The base of the cone, an emerging circle of light projected onto the wall, is tall enough, at between eight and eleven feet, to fully incorporate several spectators, and the length of the beam may be anything from thirty to sixty feet.
All of the "cone" films except Conical Solid were made from a single circular line, and the pieces that followed--Long Film for Four Projectors and Four Projected Movements, 1975--were made from a single straight line.
Unlike an earlier film such as Line Describing a Cone, the mutating form is complex and irregular, and as a result, the process of watching, of remembering what has occurred, and of anticipating what may happen, is, if not thwarted, at least challenged.
