Oxford Caster The kingpin is the rivet or the threaded stud or bolt that attaches the mounting plate or stem to the caster horn, encasing the ball bearings in their raceways. The upper raceway is a single roll of balls that allows the swivel horn to rotate in relation to the mounting plate / stem, standard in the single ball raceways. The single ball raceway is used primarily in light to medium duty applications, while the double ball raceway is used in heavier applications. www.oxfordcaster.com /whatcaster/anatomy.shtml

Hip Surgery In an arthritic hip, the damaged ball (the upper end of the femur) is replaced by a metal or ceramic ball attached to a metal stem fitted into the femur (with or without cement), and a plastic or ceramic socket (fitted into a metal socket) that is implanted into the pelvis, replacing the damaged socket. Hip dislocation is usually accompanied by a pop or noise, and by pain in the groin and/or buttocks. Post-operative DVT is one of the most common complications following hip and knee surgery, and is caused by immobilization in combination with damage of the veins because of the manipulation during operation. www.hip-clinic.com /en/html/hip_surgery.html   (2067 words)

Hip (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The hip joint is a multiaxial ball and socket synovial joint formed by the articulation of the rounded head of the femur and the cuplike acetabulum of the pelvis. In anatomy, the hip is the bony projection of the femur, known as the greater trochanter, and the overlying muscle and fat. The head of the femur is attached to the femur by a thin neck region that is often prone to fracture in the elderly, mainly due to the degenerative effects of osteoporosis. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hip_joint   (895 words)

Anatomy of a Lightning Ball: Science News Online, Feb. 9, 2002 By calculating the heat and light that those wispy, charge-laden balls would generate, the team determined that a plausible ball roughly the size of a basketball would last 3 to 30 seconds and glow like a 100-watt bulb—conditions often reported by those who have observed ball lightning. The globe may be larger than a beach ball and dart through the air, perhaps hovering occasionally as if considering its next move. The notion that aerosols may be a part of ball lightning goes back to at least the 1970s, but it’s currently winning unprecedented attention. www.sciencenews.org /20020209/bob8.asp   (2688 words)

An Explanation of Cricket - What is Cricket A batsman can also be out 'leg before wicket' or 'lbw': this is one of the more complex and vexatious rules and usually involves the ball striking the batsman's leg-protectors or 'pads' and the likelihood of the onward trajectory of the ball striking the wicket has the player's anatomy not intervened. If the batsman strikes the ball with the bat and it is caught by the bowler or one of the bowler's side who are dotted around the ground to field the ball before it hits the ground, then he is deemed to be out. Either player can be 'run-out' if the wicket towards which they are running during the course of play is struck with the ball prior to their reaching the safety of the crease. www.abcofcricket.com /cfb1/cfb4/cfb4.htm   (2688 words)

Pendleton Eye Clinic: Anatomy of the Eye Since pathology and anatomy are so closely related, you'll find that this section also contains descriptions of the most common causes of visual loss: cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment, as well as many other common eye diseases such as conjunctivitis (pink-eye), presbyopia ("arms getting too short"), floaters, and iritis. Unfortunately, fluid inside the eye is continuously produced by the cilliary body, and when the TM is clogged, the pressure in the eye rises, just like over inflating a ball. When the pressure inside the eye rises (glaucoma), this spot also happens to be the weakest spot in the eye, so the optic nerve literally is crushed, and it dies. www.pendletoneye.com /fromligh.htm   (1747 words)

Spinal Cord - Abstract of article: Admiral Lord Nelson's death: known and unknown - A historical review of the anatomy Reviewing documents about Lord Admiral Nelson's wound inflicted at the Battle of Trafalgar and studying the collected data in connection with ballistics and human anatomy. Assuming the left pulmonary artery was injured, anatomical studies based on atlases and dissection on a cadaver failed to support a simple straight-line course of the musket ball that could have divided the artery and damage the spinal cord on its path forward. The question remains open as to how the musket ball following a relatively straight-line trajectory by entering the body at the acromion, could have divided the left pulmonary artery and damaged the spinal cord later in its course. www.nature.com /sc/journal/v43/n10/abs/3101850a.html   (271 words)

Gross Anatomy-- Review And here is where Gross Anatomy drops the ball and fails to become a really first- class romantic picture. But if Gross Anatomy is successful, it may push him over the line dividing the merely interesting actors from the real movie stars.

Anatomy of a Drawing Physically, there's an extra odd ball bouncing around in there, so the odds have got to favor, however slightly, an odd ball being drawn. f you read Odd and Even Numbers, you saw that the more you balance your number combinations using odd and even numbers, the more you automatically play the types of number combinations which are being drawn more consistently in every lottery game in the world. It also shows how the odds are played out with odd and even numbers during the course of the drawing. www.lotteryamerica.com /suggested/anatomy.htm   (773 words)

OK, the eye is a ball, and the retina and nerve fibers are on the inside, so, like, they gotta get out so they can carry information to the brain, and so there has to be a hole in the back of the eye.

Dismissal (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If the ball strikes any part of the batsman's anatomy (not necessarily the leg), and, in the umpire's judgement, the ball would have hit the batsman's stumps had his anatomy not intervened, then the batsman is out. If a fielder uses the ball to remove the bails from either set of stumps whilst the batsmen are running between the wickets (or otherwise away from the crease during the course of play), then the batsman (striker or non-striker) is out. There are some subtleties, however, to do with where the ball pitches (bounces), whether the batsman intentionally hit the ball with his body or attempted to play a legitimate stroke with the bat, and exactly where it hits the batsman in relation to the line of the stumps. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dismissal_(cricket)   (929 words)

Extra (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In this case, regardless of the part of anatomy touched by the ball, the runs scored are known as leg byes.

If the ball is lost, a fielder calls "lost ball", and the umpire is satisfied that the ball is lost, the batting team scores six runs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Extra_(cricket)   (600 words)

rediff.com: cricket channel: Anatomy of injustice In the first hearing, Mike Denness asked Tendulkar why he was seen tampering with the ball, and Tendulkar replied that he was cleaning mud and grass from the seam, and pointed out that rain had made the ground wet and soggy. Denness, in response to questions by the Indian players, stated that he had not received any complaints from the umpires or anyone else, and further, that he had inspected the ball after 75 overs. The Indians further asked Denness why, if he and the umpires had noticed evidence as early as the 22nd over that the ball had been interfered with, the ball had not been immediately changed. search.rediff.com /cricket/2001/nov/27rsa.htm   (761 words)
