The length of the eyeball (either longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens can cause refractive errors. Most people have one or more of these conditions. The cornea and lens bend (refract) incoming light rays so they focus precisely on the retina at the back of the eye.
BF series Composite strain gauge. This gauge is designed for measurement on composite materials. It has a specially designed grid configuration to reduce the tightening effect of the gauge to the specimen. As the temperature compensation is available for material with thermal expansion coefficient of 3, 5 or 8ppm/Â°C, this series is recommendable for ceramic, carbon, and composite materials.
Composite Number. A composite number is a positive integer which is not prime (i.e., which has factors other than 1 and itself). The first few composite numbers (sometimes called composites for short) are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, ... (OEIS A002808), whose prime decompositions are summarized in the following table.
