At the time of launch it was the largest parabolic surface launched into orbit.

Unlike elliptic and parabolic surfaces, no classification of the hyperbolic surfaces is possible.

This actually focuses the beam by internal reflection on a parabolic surface.

And a second later he realized that it was the brilliant reflection of the sun off the at once flat yet parabolic surface of the Great Scott Sea.

At once hidelike and leaflike, these lacy, armored parabolic surfaces seem to writhe, suggesting specimens on a pin.

And these lenses have parabolic surfaces, which can make them difficult to fabricate.

In a parabolic reflecting loudspeaker, one or more speaker drivers are mounted at the focal point of a parabola, pointing away from the audience, toward the parabolic surface.

The outer has a parabolic surface, countering the effects of spherical aberration while allowing a sharp image to be formed.

For mirrors with parabolic surfaces, parallel rays incident on the mirror produce reflected rays that converge at a common focus.

In this case, the centrifugal force causes the liquid to climb the walls of the container, forming a parabolic surface.
