A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle, onto which wheels are fitted. It consists of a head tube, top tube, down tube, seat tube, seat stay and chain stay.
The most common frame design is the diamond or double triangle, pictured above. Touring frames tend to be longer, while racing frames are more compact. There are variations on this design, especially on mountain bikes, which require a greater flexibility to absorb shocks from the rough road.
Bike frame materials include:
- Aluminum - Very lightweight, but inflexible. If too much flexion is demanded of aluminum, it will fail, i.e. the tube will crack.
- Steel - Flexible, strong but relatively heavy, it is the most common material used in building frames.
- Titanium - Lightweight, flexible, strong. Seems like the perfect material. It is 15 times more expensive than steel, making these frames out of reach of most cyclists.
- Carbon fiber - newcomer, has promise, especially since the fibers can be oriented in such a way as to optimally absordb the anticipated stress. The difficulty is predicting where a stress might be.

A frame or framework is a structural skeleton, which supports the other components of the object. It is used in this basic sense in art (picture frame), construction (building frame), and mechanical engineering (bicycle frame, for instance).The word has many extended, metaphorical meanings in various fields:
- One of the still images composing a film or video. See Frame (film).
- A complete image, or the set of all picture elements representing it, in video display.
- A transmitted packet, in telecommunications; see also Frame (telecommunications).
- Semantic frames in cognitive science.
- The frame problem in artificial intelligence.
- A frame tale in literature.
- A frame of reference in physics.
- In mathematics, a frame is an abstract concept on a manifold, generalising frame of reference to a basis for the tangent bundle varying from point to point. See vierbein for an orthonormal frame.
- The tag in HTML, see HTML_tag#Frames
- Each player's turn in bowling games.
- The connection between lead and follow in partner dancing. See Frame (dance)

Frame is the position maintained by dancers during partner dancing. Maintenance of the frame provides connection.Frame is achieved in all dances. Some dances, such as ballroom, the frame is much more pronounced than in others where it is more subtle.
Essentially, frame means that the shoulders and arms of both the lead and the follow maintain the same position throughout the entire dance. Position is maintained relative to oneself as well as relative to one's partner.
Frame may be easily achieved through rigidity. It is often taught this way to beginning ballroom dancers. However this is rarely, if ever, desired.
Instead, the dance partners should hold each other loosely, using only the effort required to maintain the body position required by the dance. It is only when miscommunication occurs because of inexperience with the dance, the move or each other that effort is required to maintain frame.
In ballroom dances, internal muscle tension is applied to ensure that the required position is never lost. At the extreme, this may require rigidity to stay with your partner. Body contact may be employed so that there is enough connection that this rigidity need never make itself felt. Advanced dancers can maintain enough connection without body contact so that rigidity is never required.
In street Latin styles, the arms are always loose. Rather than increasing pressure to maintain frame, allow the arms to move, but try to regain position as quickly as possible.
In the swing dances, instead of rigidity, use outward directed pressure to maintain the position. Like a spring, the further from desired body position, the greater the force should be.
The differences may be illustrated by imagining trying to lead the worst of all possible dance partners, a refrigerator.
In the ballroom dances, one would make the arms rigid enough that the legs can push around the refrigerator.
In the swing dances, one would let the arms give, increasing pressure until it matched the weight of the refrigerator, moving the refrigerator.
In the street latin dances, the arms would collapse until the body collapsed into the refrigerators. You've now achieved body contact and can push the refrigerator around with your body. Since the refrigerator is indifferent to the body contact, it can be maintained. If the refrigerator started showing signs of incomfort, one would have to simplify ones dance to the point where frame is not required.
For follows, one can imagine an unpredictably moving bulldozer rather than a refrigerator.
In ballroom, one would become rigid and let the bulldozer take you for a ride.
In swing you push back against the bulldozer just as much as it's pushing against you, which will fling you across the dance floor.
In street latin, after the undesired body contact, a slap across the operator's cheeks might be appropriate.
Luckily, one rarely dances with refrigerators or bulldozers, so one shouldn't have to go to extremes to maintain frame, even if the move is completely new to the follow.

In film, video production, animation, and related fields, a frame is one of the many still images which compose the complete moving picture. Historically, these were recorded on a long strip of photographic film, and each image looked rather like a framed picture when examined individually, hence the name.When the moving picture is displayed, each frame is flashed on a screen for a short time (nowadays, usually 1/24th or 1/30th of a second) and then immediately replaced by the next one. Persistence of vision blends the frames together, producing the illusion of a moving image.

In telecommunications, a frame is a packet which has been encoded for transmission over a particular link. This process involves, at a minimum, adding delimiters to distinguish the packet from dead air, address and control fields specific to the link, and checksums to detect errors. (Sometimes the address, control, and checksum fields from the higher-level protocol are used directly.)Frame may also refer to the way a multiplexer divides the underlying communication channel so that it can be used simultaneously for more than one transmission. Notionally, each frame is a slot which could be filled by a transmitted packet. In these schemes, not all frames are necessarily in use at once.
- In the multiplex structure of pulse-code modulation (PCM) systems, a frame is a set of consecutive time slots in which the position of each digit can be identified by reference to a frame-alignment signal. (This signal does not necessarily occur in each frame.)
- In a time-division multiplexing (TDM) system, a frame is a repetitive group of signals resulting from a single sampling of all channels. The term in-frame is used to indicate that a time-division multiplexer is properly synchronized with the demultiplexer on the other end of the link, so that (barring in-flight data corruption) packets will be properly received.

A frame of reference is a collection of conditions, axes, or assumptions which establish how something will be approached or understood. This article deals primarily with the general procedure for constructing a frame of reference within the science of physics.
A particular kind of reference frame is the inertial reference frame. It is the one in which the mathematical description of the trajectory of an object that "feels" zero absolute acceleration is simplest. If the effects of gravitation, such as that of Earth, can be ignored, the object either travels relative to the inertial frame of reference in a simple straight line at constant velocity or remains at a point in the frame (not moving). Also, all points in the inertial frame experience zero acceleration. It can be approximated by any non-rotating space station in orbit about the Sun or Earth. A frame of reference attached to the surface of Earth is both rotating and accelerated, but in many experiments it may be taken to be a good approximation of an inertial reference frame. This is true in particle physics (smashing gold atoms into lead, for example).
One may wonder here, "Acceleration relative to what?" The answer to the question is, "Relative to a nearby person in free fall, if you want a simple answer." A simple accelerometer is a mass attached to a spring. The end of the spring that is not attached to the mass is attached to the frame of reference at some point. If the point is undergoing acceleration, the elongation of the spring indicates the acceleration’s direction and magnitude.
The frame of reference always has an origin. Where the origin is to be placed does not depend on anything but the need to obtain experimental data as expeditiously or economically as possible (hence, one's belly button is not always acceptable as the origin). To the origin the physicist attaches one of four accelerometers. At some distance from the origin, he places the second accelerometer. Again, the location does not depend on anything other than expediency or economy. The third accelerometer is placed at some distance from the origin and another distance from the second accelerometer. The fourth accelerometer must be placed so that it is not in the plane that contains the origin, the second point and the third one, and should be roughly equidistant from the other accelerometers. Notice that these four points form three planes that intersect each other in three lines. One line may be labeled the X axis; another, the Y axis; and the other one, the Z axis (diagram to be given later).
A frame of reference attached to Earth whose origin is located at the center of the Earth is a rotating frame of reference. The accelerometer at the origin shows zero acceleration.
An interesting event occurs in the frame of reference and the physicist wants to record where and when it occurs. The "where" and "when" can be given by four numbers. One number is, of course, the time of the event. (The physicist uses UTC, sets his clocks to be zero at the start of the experiment, or uses a different initial time; that is a matter of individual choice.) Another number is the perpendicular distance to the XY plane (called the "z" coordinate); the third number is the perpendicular distance to the XZ plane ("y") ; and the last one YZ ("x"). Hence, (x, y, z, t) = (2 meters, 1 meter, -5 meters, 3 seconds) may mean that the event occurred 3 seconds since the start of the experiment, 2 meters in the positive direction from the YZ plane ("to the North"), 1 meter in the positive direction from the XZ plane ("to the West"), and 5 meters in the negative direction from the XY plane ("below").
If, on the other hand, a space station is rotating but is in free fall, then a frame of reference attached to the station is a rotating frame of reference. An accelerometer at the origin may or may not show acceleration, depending on where the origin is; but other accelerometers will. An object that is moving in a straight line at constant velocity relative to a nearby inertial frame of reference will appear to have a crooked trajectory as seen from the rotating frame of reference.

A frame tale or story within a story is a narrative technique whereby a main story is composed, at least in part, for the purpose of organizing a set of shorter stories. The frame tale acts as a convenient conceit for the organization of a set of smaller narratives which are either of the devising of the author, or taken from a previous stock of popular tales slightly altered by the author for the purpose of the longer narrative. Sometimes a story within the main narrative can be used to sum up or encapsulate some aspect of the framing story, in which case it is referred to in literary criticism by the French term mise en abyme.
Generally, frame tales are organized as a gathering of people in one place for the exchange of stories. Each character tells his or her tale, and the frame tale progresses in that manner. Sometimes only one storyteller exists, and in this case there might be different levels of distance between the reader and author. In the most distant form, the single teller is speaking to a single listener or audience which exists inside of the frame.
An early example of the frame tale is The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, in which Scheherazade narrates a set of fairy tales to the King Shahriyar over many nights. In fact, many of Scheherazade's tales are also frame tales. For example, her Tale of Sindbad The Seaman And Sindbad The Landsman is a collection of adventures related by Sindbad the Seaman to Sindbad the Landsman.
In the one storyteller mode, the frame tale can sometimes become more fuzzy. In the case of Washington Irving's Sketch Book which contains "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" among others, the conceit is that the author of the book is not Irving, but a certain gentleman named Crayon. Here the frame includes both the world of the imagined Crayon, his stories and the possible reader who is assumed to play along and "know" who Crayon is.
As with all literary conceits, the frame tale has many variations, some clearly within the confines of the conceit, some on the border, and some pushing the boundaries of understanding. The main goal of a frame tale is as a conceit which can adequately collect otherwise disparate tales. It has been mostly replaced, in modern literature, by the short story collection or anthology absent any authorial conceit.
Texts which concretely deploy the frame tale:
- Canterbury Tales
- 1001 Arabian Nights
- The Decameron

- false document,
- literature,
- short story

A sinner through and through, he had This added fault: it made him mad To know another man was bad. In such a case he thought it right To rise at any hour of night And quench that wicked person's light. Despite the town's entreaties, he Would hale him to the nearest tree And leave him swinging wide and free.
