	Partitioned DC balanced (0,6) 16B/18B transmission code with error correction - Patent 6198413
		A partitioned dc balanced 16B/18B transmission code is generated in accordance with the present invention from a 9B/10B code in the leading position (with respect to he input data stream) followed by a concatenated 7B/8B code in the trailing position.
		Sets of 4 BB and 4 QB bits are each arranged diagonally in separate quadruplets for successive groups of 4 bytes and 4 words, respectively.
		The balance bits BB are a by-product of the coder, they can be derived from the block disparities of the 6B and 4B vectors, or by monitoring the changes in the running disparity from byte to byte.

	Method for dynamically balancing golf clubs on a conventional swing weight scale using radius of gyration as the ...
		This greatly speeds up the balancing process of similar clubs and enables a conventional swing weight scale device to be used in accordance with the teachings of the present invention as an inspection tool to both monitor and ensure proper radius of gyration/swing weight balancing.
		Such a balancing would theoretically produce a set or plurality of golf clubs dynamically balanced to the same radius of gyration by balancing such golf clubs on a conventional swing weight scale device to their respective corresponding, correlated radius of gyration/swing weight scale designation reading.
		Since adding balance weight to any particular club may shift the center of percussion from its original location, it is possible to add too much weight to a particular club so as to shift its center of percussion location completely off of the face of the club head.

	Convex set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Closed convex sets can be characterised as the intersections of closed half-spaces (sets of point in space that lie on and to one side of a hyperplane).
		To prove the converse, i.e., every convex set may be represented as such intersection, one needs the supporting hyperplane theorem in the form that for a given closed convex set C and point P outside it, there is a closed half-space H that contains C and not P.
		The definition of a convex set and a convex hull extends naturally to non-Euclidean geometry by defining a convex set to contain the geodesics joining any two points in the set.

	Should a new set of tires be balanced?
		The answer is that they should since having them balanced would help them avoid having problems while driving as well as it would make the tires last longer and prevent you from suffering headaches caused by the effects which imbalanced tires produce.
		This is one of the main reasons by which a new set of tires should be balanced, since that would correct this problem and allow the driver focus on the road without being upset by this car shaking.
		Most of these electronic balancers would allow checking both kinds of balance, the static and the dynamic one, allowing you this way to have a perfectly balanced new set of tires.

	Mavina's Battle Hymn
		Whereas most sets can be compared to a relative set of uniques and rare items, M'avina's Battle Hymn exists in a vacuum; it's a good, well-balanced set, but when compared to an equivalent setup, it falls horribly short.
		In single-player, this set is enough to get a bowazon through hell and back; in multi-player, a bowazon may find herself actually working up a sweat to get her kills in the midst of other high-powered bows.
		The problem is the Caster: it just doesn't cause enough damage, and the only thing that saves this set is that it was made for a ranged attacker, meaning that she can pull back and take her time with monsters while the valkyrie holds them still.

	The Balanced Scorecard - Phrontis Limited
		Kaplan and Norton introduced the idea of the Balanced Scorecard in the early 1990s as a means of shifting management attention from purely financial performance metrics to a more balanced set of performance metrics.
		What Kaplan and Norton have witnessed over the past 10 years is the shift of the Balanced Scorecard from a performance measurement framework to an integrated management system for strategy implementation – the strategy focussed organization.
		A key output of such a management system is the strategy map – a cause and effect set of relationships for achieving strategic objectives.

		Here, the nonnegative weights w(S) are balanced in the sense that for every player the sum of the weights of all proper subcoalitions of the grand coalition to which this player belongs should be equal to the weight of the grand coalition.
		This collection is larger than the collection of inequalities describing the cone of balanced games and will be described in this paper by introducing the notion 'generalized balanced set of weights'.
