When the profile information of an existing road is missing or not up-to-date and the parameters of the vertical alignment are needed for engineering analysis, the engineer has to recreate the geometric design features of the road alignment using collected profile data. The profile data may be collected using traditional surveying methods, global positioning systems, or digital imagery. This pa...

PURPOSE To compare responses to vertical and horizontal optokinetic (OK) stimulation in patients with disorders of ocular alignment. METHODS Using the magnetic search coil technique, we measured horizontal and vertical rotations of both eyes in six patients with strabismus since childhood and eight normal subjects. The OK stimulus subtended 72 degrees horizontally and 60 degrees vertically, c...

SiO x alignment layers have been shown to allow defect-free SmC ‫ء‬ devices with near optimum bistable orientation of the director. In this paper we investigate the effect of the thickness of this type of alignment layer on the required amplitude of an applied voltage pulse to cause bistable switching. The results of an experimental investigation and simple model are presented. We find that for...

The role of rotational alignment during grating writing is comprehensively examined by the measurement of core luminescence from a Ge-doped 12 ring photonic crystal fibre, computer simulation of transmission and, definitively, by inscription of gratings at three angles– 0°, 30° and the optimum luminescent angle for this fibre, 21.5°. All experimental results were in accordance with each other a...

The strong demagnification inherent in final focus systems requires local cancellation of the resulting chromaticity. Strong sextupole pairs separated by a -I transform are positioned x12 in betatron phase away from the Interaction Point (IP) in order to cancel chromatic aberrations primarily due to the final quadrupoles. Sextupole alignment is critical in order to provide orthogonal tuning of ...

Layout line of bridge structure is a direction which used to define the horizontal and vertical alignment structure. The objective this study evaluate optimize different designs outline turn compare results with layout straight using dynamic analysis according finite element method. Dynamic showed that most models have converging values natural frequency except Model No. F. it explains higher r...

We report the 8-year clinical and radiographic outcome of an adolescent patient with a large osteochondral defect of the lateral femoral condyle, and ipsilateral genu valgum secondary to an epiphyseal injury, managed with autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) and supracondylar re-alignment femoral osteotomy. Long-term clinical success was achieved using this method, illustrating the effecti...

We describe the rotational alignment sensitivity of three-dimensional holographic disks. It is shown that the reconstructed image always rotates by the angle by which the disk rotates; however, the center and the radius of rotation change as the recording geometry changes. A comparison among image plane, Fourier plane, and Fresnel holograms is given, and an optimum configuration (in terms of al...
