| A '''lozenge''' ('''◊'''), often referred to as a '''diamond''', is a form of [[rhombus]]. The definition of lozenge is not strictly fixed, and it is sometimes used simply as a synonym (from the [[French language|French]] ''losange'') for rhombus. Most often, though, lozenge refers to a thin rhombus—a rhombus with acute angles of 45°.<ref name="Mathworld">[http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Lozenge.html Definition of lozenge at Mathworld web site]</ref> The lozenge shape is often used in [[parquetry]] and as [[decorative art|decoration]] on [[ceramics (art)|ceramics]], [[Silver (household)|silverware]] and [[textile]]s. It also features in [[heraldry]] and [[Suit (cards)|playing cards]].

| |
| | |
| ==Applications==
| |
| ===Modal logic===
| |

| |
| | |
| ===Mathematics===

| ===Camouflage===
| |
| [[File:Fokker D VII.jpg|thumb|250px|A [[Fokker D.VII]] shows a four-color ''Lozenge-Tarnung'' (lozenge camouflage)]]
| |
| {{Main|Lozenge camouflage}}
| |
| During the [[World War I|First World War]], the [[Germany|Germans]] developed ''Lozenge-Tarnung'' ([[lozenge camouflage]]).<ref>http://www.wwiaviation.com/lozenge.html</ref> This camouflage was made up of colored [[polygon]]s of four or five colors. The repeating patterns often used irregular four-, five- and six-sided polygons, but some contained regular rhombi or hexagons. Because painting such a pattern was very time consuming, and the paint added considerably to the weight of the aircraft, the pattern was printed on fabric. This pre-printed fabric was used from 1916 until the end of the war, in various forms and colours.
| |
| | |
| ===Heraldry===
| |
| {{main|Lozenge (heraldry)}}
| |
| The lozenge in [[heraldry]] is a diamond-shaped [[charge (heraldry)|charge]], usually somewhat narrower than it is tall. A '''mascle''' is a voided lozenge—that is, a lozenge with a lozenge-shaped hole in the middle—and the rarer '''rustre''' is a lozenge containing a circular hole. A field covered in a pattern of lozenges is described as '''lozengy'''; a similar field of mascles is '''masculy'''.
| |
| | |
| ===Cough tablets===
| |
| {{main|Throat lozenge}}
| |
| Cough tablets have taken the name lozenge, based on their original shape. According to the ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'' the first use of this sense was in 1530.
| |
| | |
| In Finland, the lozenge is associated with [[salmiak]], through Apteekin Salmiakki. Thus, the lozenge is commonly called ''salmiakkikuvio'' "salmiak shape". The pattern is often used even if the candy is not actually lozenge-shaped.
| |
| | |
| ===U.S. Military===
| |
| | |
| To implement 10 U.S.C 773, the Secretary of the Navy has prescribed the
| |
| following distinctive mark for wear by members of military societies which
| |
| are composed entirely of honorably discharged officers and enlisted
| |
| personnel, or by the instructors and members of duly organized cadet corps.
| |
|
| |
| The distinctive mark will be a diamond, 3-1/2 inches long by two
| |
| inches wide, of any cloth material. A white distinctive mark will be worn on
| |
| blue, green, or khaki clothing; and a blue distinctive mark will be worn on
| |
| white clothing.
| |
|
| |
| The distinctive mark will be worn on all outer clothing on the right
| |
| sleeve, at the point of the shoulder, the upper tip of the diamond to be 1/4
| |
| inch below the shoulder seam.
| |
| | |
| The lozenge is also used in the U.S. [[United States Army|Army]], [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], and [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] on the insignia of their respective [[First Sergeant]]s.
| |
| | |
| They are also used in the [[Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps|Junior ROTC]] and the Cadet Program in the [[Civil Air Patrol]], for Cadet Officers corresponding to the military pay grades of O-4 to O-6 (C/Major, C/Lieutenant Colonel, and C/Colonel).
| |
| | |
| ===Finnish Defence Forces===
| |
| In [[Finnish military ranks]], the lozenge is found in the insignia of conscript officer students (one lozenge) and conscript officer cadets (two lozenges).
| |
| | |
| ===Transportation===
| |
| [[File:Bicycle lane sign.svg|thumb|left|[[Bicycle lane]] sign]]
| |
| The lozenge (technically a mascle) can be used on public roadways in the United States and Canada to mark a specific lane for a particular use. The lane will usually be painted with a lozenge at a regular interval, and signage will be installed to indicate the restrictions on using the lane. This marking is most often used to denote [[high-occupancy vehicle lane]]s or [[bus lane]]s, with accompanying signage reading "◊ HOV LANE" or "◊ BUS LANE" and giving the requirements for a vehicle to be accepted. Prior to 17 January 2006, lozenges could also be used to mark bicycle-only lanes, often in conjunction with a bicycle icon.<ref>[http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/kno-compliance.htm "Phase-In Compliance Periods, Section 9B.04 Bicycle Lane Signs"] Retrieved on 2009-01-17.</ref> In New Zealand and Japan, a lozenge marked in white paint on the road indicates an upcoming uncontrolled pedestrian crossing.
