The heiligenschein is created by retro-reflection, the same process that makes cats' eyes glow when light peeks into a dark room.

'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though.

A line of red cats' eyes is also used, and is placed to the side of the line. On many modern non-motorway roads, a hard strip is provided. These are usually wide, and are bounded by thinner solid white lines, and often without a rumble strip.

The ANPR2 Project is an ongoing SPSA-ICT project, concerning the provision of automated number plate recognition (ANPR) technologies to the Scottish Police Service. Notable/controversial aspects of the technologies employed in the project include the collection of information via hidden cameras, concealed in cats eyes in the road.

Hank arrives home to discover it wrecked as the Woman in black leaves. Juliette wakes up with her eyes turned black in the same way Adalind's cats eyes did. Nick returns home and is attacked by Kimura, who is looking for the coins. He is saved by the woman in black, who incapacitates Kimura.

Evolved for low-light hunting, cats’ eyes are proportionally enormous. Their eye size makes focusing between near and far so difficult that the muscles develop with an environmental bias. Outdoor cats tend to be farsighted, while most indoor cats are nearsighted but not myopic. Cats are unable to focus on anything less than a foot in front of them.

One of these probable victories can be confirmed through German records, making an unofficial total of 30 enemy aircraft destroyed. Nineteen were achieved at night. He was the most successful British pilot on twin-engine aircraft. The 19 victories claimed at night rivalled John "Cats Eyes" Cunningham's tally and was bettered only by night fighter pilot Branse Burbridge.

A silent cop, also referred to as a "sleeping policeman"In some languages, like Bulgarian, "sleeping policeman" refers to speed bump. or a "traffic dome", is a traffic management device formerly widely used in Australia. It consisted of a metal or concrete dome, about wide and about tall, embedded in the road surface. They were usually painted yellow and often decorated with retro-reflective glass beads or "cats eyes".

Unpaved, graded roads link some of the smaller, more remote villages, but they are comfortably navigable at normal driving speeds for wheeled vehicles. Most of the stretches of paved roads through villages are lighted at night, many with powerful sodium lighting, some of which are on independently solar-powered masts. Reflective "cats-eyes" marking the central line of two-lane roads are a common feature. Crash barriers are installed along the sides of dangerous bends and precipitous verges.

In 1984, Rivron appeared in the episode "Cash" of The Young Ones. In 1994 he starred in the improvised comedy film There's No Business..., and in the BBC children's science programme Cats' Eyes: in 2005 he appeared in the BBC One sitcom Blessed. In 1990 he appeared as the main characters – the six Scrote brothers – in Set of Six (TV series).In the 1994 film There's No Business... the fictional advertising agency is named 'Scrote and Scrote'.

As the first night fighter ace, they were allowed to publish his picture. The captions read that his eyesight was so exceptional it allowed him to see in the dark with the same visually ability as a domestic cat. It was also said that his diet of carrots provided him with vitamin A which allowed him to maintain excellent night-vision. The ensuing public adulation was detested by Cunningham, but he accepted the "Cats-Eyes" tag as a necessary deception.

The hard shoulder is usually demarcated by road markings in the form of a single dashed yellow line with the addition of yellow cat's eyes. On motorways, and at critical points on other routes (e.g. between junctions or interchanges, or beneath overpasses) a solid yellow line is used, denoting additional restrictions on usage of the hard shoulder. At junctions and on-ramps and off-ramps, the yellow line peels away into the turn, with a dashed white line (with green cats' eyes) denoting a lane division following the main route (i.e.

M9 motorway in Carlow, Ireland, with cat's eyes on the road surface and retroreflectors on barriers In Ireland yellow cat's eyes are used on all hard shoulders, including motorways (neither red nor blue cat's eyes are used). In addition, standalone reflector batons are often used on the verge of Irish roads. Green cat's eyes are used to alert motorists to upcoming junctions. There are limited installations of actively powered cats eyes, which flash white light, on particularly dangerous sections of road such as the single carriageway sections of the N11.

Variation in color of cats' eyes in flash photographs is largely due to the reflection of the flash by the tapetum. A closeup of a cat's eye Cats have a visual field of view of 200° compared with 180° in humans, but a binocular field (overlap in the images from each eye) narrower than that of humans. As with most predators, their eyes face forward, affording depth perception at the expense of field of view. Field of view is largely dependent upon the placement of the eyes, but may also be related to the eye's construction.

Optical recognition technology has focused on recognizing speed signs and road markings; other roadside objects, such as the reflective "cats' eyes" that divide lanes could possibly be used. This system requires the vehicle to pass a speed sign or similar indicator and for data about the sign or indicator to be registered by a scanner or a camera system. As the system recognizes a sign, the speed limit data is obtained and compared to the vehicle's speed. The system would use the speed limit from the last sign passed until it detects and recognizes a speed sign with a different limit.

While most of these bridges were built in New England, a few were constructed in Ohio and Texas. These bridges are sometimes referred to as "pumpkin-seed bridges", "cats-eyes bridges", "elliptical truss bridges", or "parabolic truss bridges" because of their unique lens shape. Lenticular bridges were only used for vehicular traffic and were generally considered too light to be used for railroad and trolley loads.Lenticular truss bridges of Massachusetts Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA Full view of bridge from the north in 2014 The Bardwell's Ferry Bridge was restored in the 1990s, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

The house was then used in the Second World War to accommodate airmen and was used as the headquarters and Mess for officers flying from the nearby RAF West Malling Airfield. Inside the Georgian wine cellar (of the house), 'the Twitch Inn' was established. This was so named because of all the nervous tics caused by constantly looking out for enemy aircraft, of the pilots. Names of the pilots are still etched on the walls of the cellar. Many famous air aces have frequented Douces Manor, including Sailor Malan, Stanford Tuck, Guy Gibson (a Dambusters pilot) and Wing Commander John ‘Cats Eyes’ Cunningham (a top RAF night-flight pilot) with his navigator Jimmy Rawnsley.

The only individuals to have recorded Genghis Khan's physical appearance during his lifetime were the Persian chronicler Minhaj al-Siraj Juzjani and Chinese diplomat Zhao Hong. Minhaj al-Siraj described Genghis Khan as "a man of tall stature, of vigorous built, robust in body, the hair of his face scanty and turned white, with cats’ eyes, possessed of dedicated energy, discernment, genius, and understanding, awe-striking...". The chronicler had also previously commented on Genghis Khan's height, powerful build, with cat's eyes and lack of grey hair, based on the evidence of eyes witnesses in 1220, which saw Genghis Khan fighting in the Khorasan (modern day northwest Persia). According to Paul Ratchnevsky, Zhao Hong, a Song dynasty envoy who visited the Mongols in 1221, described Genghis Khan as "of tall and majestic stature, his brow is broad and his beard is long".
