4. (Math.)

Micrometer \Mi*crom"e*ter\, n. [Micro- + -meter: cf. F.       microm[8a]tre.]       An instrument, used with a telescope or microscope, for       measuring minute distances, or the apparent diameters of       objects which subtend minute angles. The measurement given       directly is that of the image of the object formed at the       focus of the object glass.          {Circular, [or] Ring}, {micrometer}, a metallic ring fixed in             the focus of the object glass of a telescope, and used to             determine differences of right ascension and declination             between stars by observations of the times at which the             stars cross the inner or outer periphery of the ring.          {Double image micrometer}, a micrometer in which two images             of an object are formed in the field, usually by the two             halves of a bisected lens which are movable along their             line of section by a screw, and distances are determined             by the number of screw revolutions necessary to bring the             points to be measured into optical coincidence. When the             two images are formed by a bisected object glass, it is             called a divided-object-glass micrometer, and when the             instrument is large and equatorially mounted, it is known             as a heliometer.          {Double refraction micrometer}, a species of double image             micrometer, in which the two images are formed by the             double refraction of rock crystal.          {Filar, [or] Bifilar}, {micrometer}. See under {Bifilar}.          {Micrometer} {caliper [or] gauge} (Mech.), a caliper or gauge             with a micrometer screw, for measuring dimensions with             great accuracy.          {Micrometer head}, the head of a micrometer screw.          {Micrometer microscope}, a compound microscope combined with             a filar micrometer, used chiefly for reading and             subdividing the divisions of large astronomical and             geodetical instruments.          {Micrometer screw}, a screw with a graduated head used in             some forms of micrometers.          {Position micrometer}. See under {Position}.          {Scale}, [or] {Linear}, {micrometer}, a minute and very             delicately graduated scale of equal parts used in the             field of a telescope or microscope, for measuring             distances by direct comparison.

4. (Math.)

circular buffer          An area of {memory} used to store a continuous       stream of data by starting again at the beginning of the       buffer after reaching the end.   A circular buffer is usually       written by one process and read by another.   Separate read and       write {pointers} are maintained.   These are not allowed to       pass each other otherwise either unread data would be       overwritten or invalid data would be read.          A circuit may implement a {hardware circular buffer}.          (2000-06-17)
