	Pincushion Cactus
		Pincushion Cactus is a generic name given to a variety of small, attractive and diverse cacti.
		The flowers of the Pincushion Cactus can be used as a rain gauge of the previous summers monsoon season.
		Pincushions bloom in early summer with pink to lavender flowers which form a crown at the top of the plant that lasts several days.

	Pincushion distortion correction apparatus - Patent 4409523
		A pincushion distortion correction apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said two pieces constituting ferromagnetic core have respectively four legs and a common portion, and said space gap means is provided between the first and second legs of said two pieces of cores.
		For correcting horizontal pincushion distortions, a parabolic current changing at the vertical scanning frequency is caused through the control coil 27 to modulate the horizontal deflecting current flowing through the controlled coils 28.sub.B and 28.sub.C, thus obtaining a correction such that the horizontal deflection current becomes maximum at the center of the vertical scanning portion.
		The assembled form of the pincushion distortion saturable reactor apparatus 11 is practially the same as the apparatus of the first embodiment, but this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the position, in which the core halves of the apparatus are coupled to each other, and the assembly can be more readily made.

	Assymetric top-bottom pincushion correction circuit - Patent 4093895
		The improvement of claim 5 wherein said means for controlling the assymetry of a top and bottom pincushion correction waveform is in the form of a series connected diode and alterable resistor shunting said control winding.
		As is well-known, top-bottom pincushion distortion is indicated by the departure of the horizontal scan lines from a straight-line configuration.
		In another method, a DC current was added to the ramp-like waveform of the pincushion correction voltage applied to the vertical windings of the deflection yoke in an effort to provide a desired upbalance in the resultant raster of the cathode ray tube.

	Pincushion Distortion: Optical: Glossary: Learn: Digital Photography Review
		Pincushion distortion is a lens effect which causes images to be pinched at their center.
		For most consumer digital cameras, pincushion distortion is lower than barrel distortion with 0.6% being a typical value.
		Pincushion distorted images from virtually any digital camera can be corrected easily using a set of free tools for Photoshop.

	Distortion
		Distortion is difficult to correct for in zoom lenses, which usually go from barrel at the wide end to pincushion at the tele end.
		The latter slope is steeper than the former, so that the pincushion distortion in the image periphery is more pronounced than the barrel distortion in the more central regions.
		The coefficient a is positive for pincushion and negative for barrel distortion.

	Pincushion Distortion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Pincushion distortion is observed as a displacement outwards of a given image point from the ideal location.
		In digital X-ray imaging pincushion distortion is a result of the mapping of electrons from the curved input screen of the image intensifier to the flat output screen.
		The pincushion distortion is dependent on the X-ray source-to-image intensifier distance.

		The edaphic requirements of the Sneed pincushion cactus are poorly known and need to be determined to provide clues to factors restricting their distribution (FWS 1986).
		The Sneed pincushion cactus grows at an elevation of 1,200-2,350 m (3,900-7,700 feet) in areas where the average precipitation varies from 19.7-40.0 cm/year (7.8-15.7 inches/year)(FWS 1986).
		Many of the current localities for the Sneed pincushion cactus are only documented by herbarium records with little known about the size or status of the populations from which the specimens came.

		For barrel distortion compensation 'b' must be negative, for pincushion distortion compensation, 'b' must be positive.
		After pincushion distortion correction you will have to crop the image about 25 pixels on top, bottom, left and right to remove the fl pixels in the corners and around the edges resulting from the transformation.

	Grampians Pincushion Lily
		Pincushion Lilies are examples of a very interesting group of plants that botanists call "resurrection plants".
		The lily's inability to produce viable seeds, and their poor health after recent prolonged droughts, may prevent the Grampians Pincushion Lily from breeding in the wild at all, with the result that no new seedlings are establishing to replace the older plants.
		Fortunately, the Grampians Pincushion Lily exists entirely within the Grampians National Park, where it should be safe from land clearing and human interference.

		The Lee pincushion cactus is known only from populations within Carlsbad Caverns National Park with an estimated 1,000-2,000 plants.
		Threats to the Lee pincushion cactus are principally of three types: direct collection by commercial or private collectors, destruction or modification of habitat, and natural threats (FWS 1986).
		The objectives of the recovery plan for the Lee pincushion cactus is to restore it to a level where it can be delisted.

	DragonBear: SCA Documentation: Bradford Pincushion
		Pincushions seem to have been a common needleworked artifact in the period.
		In particular, there is a small 2 ½" square pincushion attached to a purse (English, early 17th c., Victoria & Albert, T.316-1898) and a larger rectangular pincushion of about 10 ½" by 6" (English, late 16th or early 17th c., Victoria & Albert, T.317-1898).
		I was unable to find linen fabric or canvas of the desired count and used a cotton/rayon version instead, since what was important to me was to duplicate the stitch count of the original.

	Pincushion Distortion: Optical: Glossary: Learn: Digital Photography Review
		Pincushion distortion is associated with tele lenses and typically occurs at the tele end of a zoom lens.
