More examples
  • An epicycloid in which the rolling circle equals the fixed circle
  • A cardioid (from the Greek u03BAu03B1u03C1u03B4u03AFu03B1 "heart") is a plane curve traced by a point on the perimeter of a circle that is rolling around a fixed circle of the same radius. It is therefore a type of limau00E7on and can also be defined as an epicycloid having a single cusp. It is also a type of sinusoidal spiral, and an inverse curve of the parabola with the focus as the center of inversion.
  • An epicycloid with exactly one cusp; the plane curve with polar equation - having a shape supposedly heart-shaped; Having this characteristic shape
  • A type of microphone which picks up sound in a heart-shaped (hence "cardioid") area in front of it.
  • The path of a point on a circle as it rolls around another circle is sort of heart shaped and thus the term is from the Greek root for heart, kardia. The term appears to have first been used by Giovanni Salvemini de Castillon (1708-1791)
  • Highest sensitivity at 0 degrees, and (ideally) no sensitivity at 180, with a linear to exponential transition between both.
  • Heart-shaped region where some microphones will be most sensitive to sound predominately from the front of the microphone diaphragm and reject sound coming from the sides and rear.
  • The locus of a point on the circumference of a circle, which rolls on a fixed circle of equal radius.
  • The heart-shaped sound pickup pattern of a unidirectional microphone.
