  1. Datum reference

    Unreferenced date March 2009 Datum reference are a concept used in carpentry , metalworking , needlework , Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing GD&T and similar activities. In carpentry, an alternative, more common name is face side and face edge . The artisan nominates two straight edges on a workpiece as the datum edges , and they are marked accordingly. One convention is to mark the first datum edge with a single slanted line and the second with double lines . For most work, the datum references of the workpiece need to be Perpendicular square . If necessary they may be cut, planed or filed to make them so. In subsequent marking out, all measurements are then taken from either of the two datum references. Engineering In GD&T, datum reference frames are typically Three dimensional space 3D . Datum reference frames are used as part of the feature control frame to show where the measurement is taken from. A typical datum reference frame is made up of three planes. For example, the three planes could be one face side and two datum edges . These three planes are marked A, B and C, where A is the face side, B is the first datum edge, and C is the second datum edge. In this case, the datum reference frame is A B C. A B C is shown at the end of feature control frame to show from where ... before choosing which feature is A, B,or C. For this example, A is the primary datum, B is the secondary, and C is the tertiary datum. The primary datum controls the most degrees of freedom. The tertiary datum controls the least degrees of freedom. For this example, of a block of wood, Datum ... translation and 3 rotation about the 3D coordinate system . Datum A controls 3 translation along the Z axis, rotation about the x axis, and rotation about the y axis. Datum B controls 2 translation along the y axis and rotation about the z axis.

They were introduced by Michel Demazure in Grothendieck s S minaire de g om trie alg brique SGA III , published in 1970. Definition A root datum consists of a quadruple X sup sup , &Delta , X sub sub , &Delta sup v sup , where X sup sup and X sub sub are free abelian groups of finite Rank linear algebra rank together with a perfect pairing between them with values in Z which we denote by , in other words, each is identified with the dual lattice of the other . &Delta is a finite subset of X sup sup and &Delta sup v sup is a finite subset of X sub sub and there is a bijection from &Delta onto &Delta sup v sup , denoted by &alpha &rarr &alpha sup v sup . For each &alpha , &alpha , &alpha sup v sup 2 For each &alpha , the map taking x to x &minus x ,&alpha sup v sup &alpha induces an automorphism of the root datum in other words it maps &Delta to &Delta and the induced action on X sub sub maps &Delta sup v sup to &Delta sup v sup The elements of &Delta are called the roots of the root datum, and the elements of &Delta sup v sup are called the coroots .

  1. Sea Level Datum of 1929

    Geodesy The Sea Level Datum of 1929 was the vertical control datum geodesy datum established for vertical control surveying in the United States United States of America by the General Adjustment of 1929. The datum was used to measure elevation altitude above, and depression geology depression wikt depth depth below, mean sea level MSL . Mean sea level was measured at 26 tide gauges 21 in the United States and 5 in Canada . The datum was defined by the observed heights of mean sea level at the 26 tide gauges and by the set of elevations of all bench marks resulting from the adjustment. The adjustment required a total of 66,315 miles 106,724 km of leveling with 246 closed circuits and 25 circuits at sea level. Since the Sea Level Datum of 1929 was a hybrid model, it was not a pure model of mean sea level , the geoid , or any other equipotential surface. Therefore, it was renamed the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 NGVD 29 in 1973. The NGVD 29 was subsequently replaced by the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 NAVD 88 based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988.

  1. Amsterdam Ordnance Datum

    File Nap reference waterlooplein.jpg thumb right 250px NAP Level in Amsterdam City Hall Normaal Amsterdams Peil NAP or Amsterdam Ordnance Datum is a vertical datum geodesy datum in use in large parts of Western Europe . Originally created for use in the Netherlands , it was adopted by Prussia in 1879 under the name Normalnull , and in 1955 by other European countries. File Huddesteen eenhoornsluis.jpg thumb left 150px The last remaining in situ Hudde benchmark in the Eenhoorn lock in Amsterdam Mayor Johannes Hudde of Amsterdam in a way came up with the idea after he expanded the seadike after a flood in Amsterdam in 1675. Of course a dike should be storm resistant to protect a city against flooding, and in this case a margin of 9 feet and 5 inches was deemed enough to cope with rising water. So he measured the waterlevel of the adjacent sea arm, Het IJ and compared it with the waterlevel in the canals within the city itself. He found that the water level at an average summer flood in the sea arm when the water level reaches its maximum, not counting storms was about the same as the level on the other side of the seadike, plus the margin of 9 feet and 5  inches. The waterlevel in the canals of Amsterdam which is quite constant called Amsterdam Peil AP , equaled the level at summer flood at sea in the sea inlet, which changes throughout the year. The Amsterdam level AP was in 1860 carried over to other areas in the Netherlands to replace locally used levels. In this operation an error was introduced which was corrected normalised between 1885 and 1894, resulting in the Normaal Amsterdam Peil NAP . Originally the zero level of NAP was the average summer flood water level in the IJ bay IJ just north of the centre of Amsterdam which was at the time, in 1684, the main shipping area, then still connected with the open sea . Currently it is physically realized by a benchmark in brass in the Opera Building cum City Hall of Amsterdam, which is a popular tourist attraction ...   more details



  1. Damnum iniuria datum

    single source date February 2012 Damnum iniuria datum was a delict of Roman law relating to the wrongful damage to property. It was created by the Lex Aquilia in the third century BC, and consisted of two parts chapter 1, which dealt with the killing of another s slave or certain types of animal and chapter three which related to other types of property. It was widely extended both by reference to the words of the statute themselves and by the Praetor . Like similar concepts in the modern law, it had to deal with changes in the way negligence was dealt with, issues of omission criminal law omission , and those of causation law causation . Basic form Damnum iniuria datum can be considered wrongful damage to property. ref name buckland580 The law of the Roman Empire Empire on this topic is mainly based on the Lex Aquilia , of which the date is uncertain, but earlier than the introduction of the contract of wikt mandate mandate . It does not seem that, as the Institutes rather suggest, and the Digest actually says, it superseded earlier provisions as matter of law, but it was of overwhelming practical importance and seems to have swamped them. On the other hand there was praetorian legislation on the matter, apart from extensions of this statute. But it is plain that this law. with its extensions, was much the most important part of the scheme of remedies. The words damnum iniuria datum mean damage unlawfully caused, but we get the expression actio damni iniuriae. ref name buckland580 The Lex Aquilia contained, besides a penalty for adstipulatores who fraudulently released the debtor and, perhaps, a vaguely indicated procedure for multa as an alternative, in the case which does concern us, two important provisions for a civil remedy for damage to property. Its first chapter provided that anyone who unlawfully killed another s slave or beast within the class of pecus, was liable to pay the owner the highest value the thing had had within the previous year. ref name buckland580 ...   more details



  1. North American Vertical Datum of 1988

    Geodesy The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 NAVD 88 is the vertical control Datum geodesy datum of orthometric height established for vertical control surveying in the United States United States of America based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988. The NAVD 88 was established in 1991 by the minimum constraint adjustment of geodesy geodetic leveling observations in Canada , the United States , and Mexico . It held fixed the height of the primary tidal bench mark, referenced to the International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level height value, at Rimouski , Quebec , Canada . Additional tidal bench mark elevations were not used due to the demonstrated variations in sea surface topography, i.e., the fact that mean sea level is not the same equipotential surface at all tidal bench marks. The NAVD 88 replaced the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 NGVD 29 , previously known as the Sea Level Datum of 1929 . It is important to note that, while the computed elevation of some fixed point might differ depending on which datum is used, the elevation of that point relative to some other nearby point did not change with that datum change.

  1. Self-locating datum marker buoy

    orphan date April 2010 A self locating datum marker buoy SLDMB is a drifting surface buoy designed to measure surface ocean currents. The design is based on those of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment CODE and Davis style oceanographic surface drifters National Science Foundation NSF funded experiments exploring ocean surface currents. The SLDMB was designed for deployment by United States Coast Guard USCG vessels in search and rescue SAR missions, and is equipped with a Global Positioning Satellite GPS sensor that, upon deployment in fresh or saltwater, transmits its location periodically to the USCG to aid in SAR missions. Additionally, SLDMB are deployed in oceanographic research in order to study surface currents of the ocean. This design has also been utilized by Nomis Connectivity for secure ocean based communications. Design The SLDMB is based on the Davis style drifter design, which attempts to minimize the effects of wind and surface waves. ref name Davis Davis, R. E. 1985 . Drifter Observations of Coastal Surface Currents During CODE The Method and Descriptive View. Journal of Geophysical Research, 90 C3 , 14. . ref This is accomplished by reducing the area above the ocean surface to small floats and an antenna. Below the surface is a series of drogue vanes to approximately 1 meter in depth, which catch the ocean current, along with electronic equipment that deploys the vanes and antenna, receives the GPS signal and transmits the location to the USCG. SLDMB construction varies by manufacturer, but those used by the USCG consists of four orthogonal drag vanes 0.5m wide and 0.7m high of nylon fabric. These are supported by PVC arms at top and bottom, which extend from a cylindrical hull that contains the electronic equipment. Small floats are attached to the end of each upper arm in order to maintain buoyancy, and a small antenna projects above the SLDMB. ref name Bang Bang, I., Mooers, C. N.

Some of the important battles of World War II were fought on the borders of Germany , the Netherlands , Belgium and France , and the mapping of these countries had incompatible latitude and longitude positioning. This led to the setting up of ED50 as a consistent mapping datum for much of Western Europe . It was, and still is, used in much of Western Europe apart from Great Britain , Ireland , Sweden and Switzerland , which have their own datums. It used the International Ellipsoid of 1924 John Fillmore Hayford Hayford Ellipsoid of 1909 Earth radius radius of the Earth s equator 6378.388  km, flattening 1 297 . That spheroid was an early attempt to model the whole Earth and was widely used all over the world up to the 1980s, when GRS80 and WGS84 were established. Many national coordinate systems of Gauss Kr ger coordinate system Gauss Kr ger are defined by ED50 and oriented by means of geodetic astronomy . Up to now it has been used in data base s of gravity field, cadastre , small surveying networks in Europe and America, and by some developing countries with no modern baselines.
