From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Two closed curves obtained as the intersection of two cylinders the axes of which intersect at right angles. The parametric equations of bicylindrics are

where 
and 
are the radii of the cylinders and 
is a parameter. If 
, the bicylindrics is a pair of congruent ellipses.
