Clockwise and counterclockwise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Technically, the terms clockwise and counterclockwise can only be applied to a rotational motion once a side of the rotational plane is specified, from which the rotation is observed. Typically, screws and bolts are loosened counterclockwise and tightened clockwise. In trigonometry, and mathematics in general, plane angles are conventionally measured counterclockwise. www.encyclopedia-online.info /Counterclockwise   (327 words)

Clockwise and counterclockwise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) For example, the daily rotation of the Earth is counterclockwise when viewed from the North Pole, and clockwise when viewed from the South Pole. Typically, screw s and bolt s are loosened counterclockwise and tightened clockwise. One mnemonic for remembering this is "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey" (right to tighten, left to loosen.) In trigonometry, and mathematics in general, plane angle s are conventionally measured counterclockwise. www.serebella.com /encyclopedia/article-Clockwise_and_counterclockwise.html   (579 words)

Motor driven shutter activated by single motor having controllable clockwise and counterclockwise rotations - Patent ... On the other hand, the opening lever 7 is turned counterclockwise resisting the bias of the spring 7d because the control portion 7a is pushed by the cam portion 3c, and activates the pin 8 to close the shutter blades which are in an open state. When the step motor 1 further rotates counterclockwise, the closing lever 10 is turned clockwise resisting the bias of the spring 10d because the control portion 10c is pushed by the cam portion 3d and activates the pin 11 to open the diaphragm blades which are in a closed state. When the motor M rotates counterclockwise corresponding to either signal of the balb mode or time mode, the stepped portion 3f retreats from the pin 10a and the closing lever 10 is rapidly turned by the spring 10d, closing the shutter blades and ending the exposure. www.freepatentsonline.com /5420660.html   (5515 words)

New electrocardiographic criteria for the differentiation between counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutter: ... In the 37 patients, there were 30 counterclockwise atrial flutters and 17 clockwise atrial flutters. Counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutters did not differ significantly in the flutter wave cycle length (table 1). Both had counterclockwise atrial flutter as shown by the Halo catheter study, but patient 19 had negative flutter waves in the inferior leads and patient 5 had positive ones. www.heartjnl.com /cgi/content/full/80/1/80   (3438 words)

Counterclockwise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Counterclockwise adverb and adjective meaning the opposite of clockwise. That is, counterclockwise is a rotation to the left and up, a direction opposite the rotation to the right and down of a typical wall clock's hands. In trigonometry, an angle in standard position is measured counterclockwise from the x-axis. www.termsdefined.net /co/counterclockwise.html   (217 words)

directions in space - Moonstick Information Site All of the rocks, trees, and houses are (while accelerating) also rotating (as the Earth rotates) about an axis whose counterclockwise end points is a direction that we will for now leave nameless, but the part of this direction that is perpendicular to up and down, we call "north". In addition, the Earth is turning about an axis whose counterclockwise end points is a direction that we will once again leave nameless, but the part of this direction that is perpendicular to "ecliptic north" and "ecliptic south" we will call "summer solstice". Ninety degrees counterclockwise from "summer solstice" as viewed from "ecliptic north" we call "fall equinox"; and the opposite direction we call "spring equinox". www.moonstick.com /directions.htm   (424 words)

Chord progressions As you move counterclockwise around the circle, each chord root descends in an interval of a perfect fifth (three and a half whole steps). Moving counterclockwise through the circle of fifths is often referred to as backcycling. This cycle travels counterclockwise from “A” to “C.” The “A7-D7-G7-C” (displaced ragtime) and “Am-Dm-G7-C” (displaced standard) progressions are the two common types of this cycle. www.easy-song-writing.com /articles/chordProgressions.asp   (2945 words)

Figure Skating Journal Glossary, Spins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Counterclockwise skaters perform right over left back crossovers, which travel in the clockwise direction. Like the basic traveling forward camel, the travel is achieved through a series of three-turns performed in a camel position, similar to the forward traveling spin tracing illustrated in Figure 6. For a counterclockwise skater, the sequence includes RFI3, RBO3, RFI3, RBO3, etc. The number of turns in the sequence may vary as desired but must conclude with a RFI3 initiating a backspin. www.skatejournal.com /spin.html   (3543 words)

Electrophysiological determinant for induction of isthmus dependent counterclockwise and clockwise atrial flutter in ... Figure 2 Demonstration of entrainment with concealed fusion by pacing at the coronary sinus ostium (CSO) for counterclockwise atrial flutter (A) and by pacing at the LLRA for clockwise atrial flutter (B). The short stimulus to onset of the ECG flutter wave interval in both situations indicates that the coronary sinus ostium was the exit of the slow conduction zone in counterclockwise atrial flutter and the low lateral right atrium was the exit in clockwise atrial flutter. The cycle length of the counterclockwise atrial flutter (A) was 226 ms, and that of the clockwise atrial flutter (B) was 217 ms. www.heartjnl.com /cgi/content/full/81/1/73   (4508 words)

The Straight Dope: Do bathtubs drain counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Given the limitations of a once-a-week column, it is maybe an exaggeration to describe myself as an everlasting fountain of knowledge. The erroneous bit of folk wisdom you refer to says that water always drains in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere, and in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere. However, when you get down to itty-bitty phenomena such as the water draining out of your bathtub, the Coriolis effect is insignificant, amounting to roughly three ten-millionths of the force of gravity (in Boston, at least, which is where they happened to do the measuring). www.straightdope.com /classics/a1_161.html   (594 words)

Winds Around Cyclones: flowing counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere Since winds flow in a counterclockwise direction around low pressure centers, look for a group of stations where the wind barbs reflect this type of wind pattern. For example, a counterclockwise wind pattern was observed in the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota (highlighted by the red arrow). The low pressure center was located near the center (similar to the center of a whirlpool) with winds flowing counterclockwise around it. ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu /(Gh)/guides/mtr/cyc/wnd.rxml   (131 words)

The Straight Dope: Why are races always run in a counterclockwise direction? Horse races, for example, are commonly run in a counterclockwise direction in this country, but European tracks are less standardized and "the horses run clockwise on most of them," one writer notes. Oval tracks for stock-car racing are common in the U.S.; they're counterclockwise because in stock cars the driver is on the left and if he loses control and crashes into a wall the right side will absorb most of the impact. It's true track events (i.e., foot races) are always run counterclockwise, but that's because track geometry, direction of travel, etc., are set by international agreement to ensure comparability of times. www.straightdope.com /classics/a4_113b.html   (578 words)

Column: Quality Gaging Tips - Reverse Polarity: Countering Your Clockwise Indicator The counterclockwise dial can have the same characteristics as the balanced or continuous dial—except that it is reversed. A balanced counterclockwise dial would be indicated by having a plus (+) sign on the left, while a continuous counter-clockwise dial would count from 0, counterclockwise around the dial face. The golden rule is that a clockwise dial indicator should be used when the indicator and/or the sensitive contact is on the opposite side of the part from the reference point, while the counterclockwise indicator is used when the indicator and the sensitive contact are on the same side as the reference point. www.mmsonline.com /articles/0403gage.html   (589 words)

GLFRONTFACE(3G) manual page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The projection of a polygon to window coordinates is said to have clockwise winding if an imaginary object following the path from its first vertex, its second vertex, and so on, to its last vertex, and finally back to its first vertex, moves in a clockwise direction about the interior of the polygon. The polygon's winding is said to be counterclockwise if the imaginary object following the same path moves in a counterclockwise direction about the interior of the polygon. By default, counterclockwise polygons are taken to be front-facing. www.xfree86.org /4.3.0/glFrontFace.3.html   (198 words)

Airport Carousels A-M Better to send someone to collect your bags as it is too exciting to stand there waiting to see whether or not the bags will fall off the conveyor belt. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of benches on which to pass the resulting time, but at least the wait provides a soothing prelude to the decidedly non-dull Naples traffic. Arch adds that the carousel runs quite silently, and that there is another belt for oversize luggage, which is not a carousel, but many seem to spend a lot of time watching it. www.dullmen.com /airport.htm   (1728 words)

Why do baserunners run counterclockwise? In the Northern hemisphere, racing counterclockwise pulls the front nose of the car down.

Peter McLeary, the rest of the story. . . - Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) In the Southern Hemisphere, the effect is reversed, and a counterclockwise twist is produced. They move in large clockwise circles in the oceans of the Northern Hemisphere and in large counterclockwise circles in those of the Southern, thanks to the Coriolis effect (see page 94).

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Science (Flush Bosh)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Water in a pan, sink, or toilet rotates counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Best known is its effect on air masses: as they move away from the equator, their speed (which matches that of where they started from) appears to be faster than that of the surface over which they are traveling. This sets them turning in a clockwise twist in the northern hemisphere and a counterclockwise twist in the southern. www.snopes.com /science/coriolis.htm   (507 words)
