Orphan date February 2009 Notability Products date August 2011 A pseudorandom encoder is an electro mechanical device used for measuring distance and finding position. It is different from the conventional absolute and incremental encoder in its disk pattern, which gives it aspects of the other two designs. The disk of a pseudorandom encoder has an evenly spaced notch design just as an incremental encoder to measure distance. A second track of code is used to find the position just like an absolute encoder however, an absolute encoder tells position from reading from multiple parallel tracks while a pseudorandom encoder uses one single track. This aspect allows pseudorandom rotary encoders to have smaller diameters and larger through holes. To know its position, the encoder must first move a certain distance to read the code. This distance is generally small, about 1 2 degrees for rotary encoders and 1 mm for linear encoders, though this idiosyncrasy does hinder its usefulness in some applications such as trackball track balls since position is not immediately known when the system starts. ref cite web url http www.virtualabsolute.com VAoverview.htm title A New Kind of Encoder virtualabsolute.com ref See also Rotaryencoder References reflist Category Dimensional instruments ... more details

A priority encoder is a Electronic circuit circuit or algorithm that compresses multiple Binary code binary inputs into a smaller number of outputs. The output of a priority encoder is the binary representation of the ordinal number starting from zero of the most significant input bit. They are often used to control interrupt request s by acting on the highest priority request. If two or more inputs are given at the same time, the input having the highest priority will take wikt precedence precedence ref M. Morris Mano, Michael D.

A rotary stage is a component of a motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of rotation. The terms rotary table or rotation stage are often used interchangeably with rotary stage . All rotary stages consists of a platform and a base, joined by some form of guide in such a way that the platform is restricted to rotation about a single axis with respect to the base. In common usage, the term rotary stage may or may not also include the mechanism by which the angular position of the platform is controlled relative to the base. Principle of operation In three dimensional space, an object may either rotate about, or translate along any of three axes. Thus the object is said to have six degrees of freedom 3 rotational and 3 translational . A rotary stage exhibits only one degree of freedom rotation about one axis . In other words, rotary stages operate by physically restricting 3 axes of translation and 2 axes of rotation. Bearing types Rotary stages consist of a platform that moves relative to a base. The platform and base are joined by some form of Bearing mechanical bearing which restricts motion of the platform to rotation about a single axis. A variety of different styles of bearings are used, each with benefits and drawbacks making them more appropriate for some applications than for others.

Rotary polarization is an optical phenomenon occurring in certain crystalline materials. The Polarization waves vibrational direction of light passing through such a crystal or sometimes liquids is rotated so that it varies in a circular manner. The amount of polarization rotation depends on the thickness of the crystal. The rotation may be either to the right dextrorotary d rotary or left levorotary l rotary depending, for example, in quartz on the spiral structure of linked silicon oxygen tetrahedra. Sucrose and camphor are d rotary whereas cholesterol is l rotary. Rotary polarization occurs in molecules and crystals that have no Crystallography crystallographic mirror planes or inversion centers. Such crystals are enantiomorphous the existence of two chemically identical crystal forms as mirror images of each other . Crystalline quartz SiO sub 2 sub exhibits rotary polarization whereas the amorphous forms of silica do not. Quartz plates are used in optical crystallographic microscopy. Fran ois Arago is credited with the discovery of rotary polarization of quartz in 1811.

It consists of a handle with a circular blade that rotates, thus the tool s name. Rotary blades can be found in different sizes usually smaller blades are used to cut around corners, while larger blades are used to cut to straight lines. ref http quilting.about.com od rotarycuttingskills bb rotary cutter.htm Quilting How to Choose a Rotary Cutter Rotary Cutting Advice Bot generated title ref Several layers of fabric can be cut simultaneously, making it easier to cut out patchwork pieces of the same shape and size than with regular scissors . In conjunction with a rotary cutting ruler specially designed to be used with a rotary cutter, and made of thick and resistant plastic it is also a practical tool for achieving the straight, squared lines that are so important in patchwork. The first rotary cutter was introduced by the Olfa company in 1979. Prior to the invention of the rotary cutter, most quilters used standard handheld scissors which were relatively cumbersome.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A rotary compression pump works in cycles. Over each cycle a volume is created in contact with the cavity where pressure is to be lowered. By random motion, molecules from the vacuum pass into the volume created by the pump. This volume is then cut off from the cavity and compressed in contact with a one way valve. If the volume is compressed enough some of the molecules will pass through the valve. The maximum efficiency of a rotary compression pump is the ratio between the volume in contact with the vacuum and the smallest contracted volume in contact with the valve. If the ratio is 1 1000 and the pump is exhausting to atmospheric pressure, the highest achievable vacuum is 1 1000 of atmospheric pressure. This corresponds to 0.76 Torr or 101.3 Pascal pressure Pa . This limitation makes rotary compression pumps very hard to construct if lower pressures than about 1 Torr is to be achieved. The simplicity of the process makes the rotary compression pump cheap and it is widely used as a low vacuum pump or a fore pump to a diffusion pump .

Image rotaryswitch.gif thumb 360px Three deck rotary switch allows controlling three different circuit functions A rotary switch consists of a spindle tool spindle or wikt rotor rotor that has a contact arm or spoke which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the spoke through which any one of a number of different electrical circuit s can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles, each layer is equivalent to one pole. Usually such a switch has a detent mechanism so it clicks from one active position to another rather than stalls in an intermediate position. Thus a rotary switch provides greater Switch Contact arrangements pole and throw capabilities than simpler switches do. Rotary switches were used as channel selector s on television receivers until the early 1970s, as range selectors on electrical metering equipment, as band selectors on multi band radios, etc. Modern rotary switches utilise a star wheel mechanism to provide the switching positions. 30,45,60 or 90 degrees. Nylon cams are then mounted behind this mechanism and spring loaded electrical contacts slide around these cams. The cams are notched or cut where the contact should close to complete an electrical circuit. Some rotary switches are user configurable in relation to the number of positions.

Multiple issues orphan February 2009 cleanup January 2009 refimprove January 2009 Rotary Inertia or rotational inertia is a further analogy of inertia in which a rotating body maintains its state of uniform rotational motion. Thus its angular momentum would be unchanged, unless an external torque were to be applied. Rotary inertia often has hidden practical consequences. In the braking of a railway train, arresting the linear motion would require that the substantial rotational inertia of the motors must be converted to some other forms of energy, thus causing acoustic vibration of the wheels and frictional heating of the brakes on the railway carriage. Rotary Inertia is also found in the Timoshenko beam theory , a theory for a model that considers rotary inertia and shear stress to describe the vibrations of thick bars, which are part of the mallet subfamily of the percussion family of musical instruments e.g. vibraphone , xylophone and marimba .
