Opera hat described as: Some sources have taken this to describe an early folding top hat, although it is not explicitly stated whether Dollman's design was specifically for male or female headgear. Dollman's patent expired in 1825. Operating from Poissy, Paris, France, around 1840, Antoine Gibus's design for a spring-loaded collapsible top-hat proved so popular that hats made to it became known as "gibus". They were also often called "opera hats" due to the common practice of storing them in their flattened state under one's seat at the opera, though the term can also refer to any tall formal men's hat. The
Top-hat filter theoretically possible. Top-hat filters can be constructed by chaining theoretical low-band and high-band filters. In practice, an approximate top-hat filter can be constructed in analogue hardware using approximate low-band and high-band filters. In Fourier space, a top hat filter selects a band of signal of desired frequency by the specification of a lower and upper bounding frequencies. Top-hat filters are particularly easy to implement digitally. The top hat function can be generated by differentiating a linear ramp function of width formula_1. The limit of formula_1 then becomes the Dirac delta function. Its real-space form is the same as the moving
