@Kopiersperre: I'll take these. I have a couple ready to go, but the vertical continuous retorting furnace is taking some thought, and my current plan is to combine the given drawing with the original patent held by New Jersey Zinc Company (1948), which is slightly more detailed: U.S. patent 2,457,552

@Kopiersperre: Sorry for the long delay. I have some drawings for #2 up now, based on the patent writeup and illustration. Please make sure my translation makes sense.

@Mliu92: Your translation is quite fine. Only some umlauts are missing. Thanks a lot!--Kopiersperre (talk) 12:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of U.S. states by population density
Request
Vox has a fantastic visualization of what the U.S. would look like when each state is scaled proportional to population. I think it would make a great illustration for our article if someone was willing to make a similar, but free use vector image. – czar 19:28, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  Request taken by Mliu92 (talk) 16:07, 22 September 2015 (UTC).[reply]
@Czar: This is an interesting request, and one that was solved mathematically using the data at the linked article. By definition, the population density is the population divided by area, or:
  or, equivalently,  
We want to resize each state according to its population, so each state's new area will be defined by a new (constant) population density,  :
 
We can substitute for   in the above expression to get:
 
This means the new area   is simply the existing area   multiplied by an areal scaling factor  . Since area is the product of two dimensions, we can apply an equal scaling factor in each dimension (which is what the SVG expects) by taking the square root of the areal scaling factor:
 
I took the new population density to be equal to the 2013 population density of New Jersey, 1,210.1 persons per square mile, which in essence normalizes the scaling factor to New Jersey. For instance, California has a population density of 246.1 persons per square mile, so:
 
That means that I can apply a scaling transformation factor of 0.451 to the California SVG object in each (x,y) dimension. When all is said and done, though, I had to end up translating most of the state SVG objects as well, so it ended up being a matrix transform (scaling + translation). When the population and/or land areas update, the updated data could be used to adjust the scaling factors in the SVG directly without having to go through a graphical editor. Please feel free to adjust the SVG file to taste, as the scaling also affects the border size of the file.

Nice work! Added it to the article. Thank you! – czar 16:25, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding some abbreviations

I'd be very grateful if a skilled user could expand the abbreviations used in the above image 9used in Lung), so that it can be made more readable. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:51, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
