To ensure the correct orientation of the hexagonal hole 58 with respect to the lateral hole 56, the upper part of the pin 22 is provided with diametrically opposite keying members 60 which are engaged in the grooves 52 and prevent relative rotation of the pin 22 and the bush part 18.
opposite faces 50 of the cavity 26, preferably constituted by the bottom surfaces of opposite grooves 52 formed in the cavity 26, so as to allow a limited angular rocking of the pin 22 in the cavity 26.
52, constitute diametral key members of the pin 22 for the purpose of preventing its rotation with respect to the bush part 18, thereby guaranteeing the correct orientation of the hexagonal holes 59 and 61 with respect to the lateral hole 56.

 Free standing extension table and method of manufacture - Patent 5485795
A self-supporting extension table is defined by a main table portion having a recess at one end, an edge opposite thereto, and a drop leaf adjacent the latter edge with the drop leaf corresponding in shape and configuration to the recess.
The table top 21 is generally of an oval-shaped configuration defined by opposite generally parallel side peripheral edges 23, 24 and opposite convex peripheral edges 25, 26 of identical curvature each defining respective projecting edge or end portions 27, 28.
4, opposite ends of the overall combination 30 are of the same top plan profile or configuration because, of course, the edges 26, 55 are of the same curvature.

Reality is simultaneously comparative duality of equal opposites (space and time), as well as their coherence with a singular source, which is their inversely proportional framework of references.
Fractality of space in time in context of equal and opposite fractality of time in space is no fractality at all right here and now, which is their line of symmetry (coherence).
Each gravitational shell is duality of two equal and opposite spatial and time shells that rotate in opposite directions and their coherence at ¼ curvature is quantum leap from one to another coherent quantum state – regardless if it’s small space of an atom or large space of the universe.

 United States Patent Application: 0030084582
Moreover, a clinometer is only truly accurate at rest and also requires a relatively long settling down time after being displaced during a bias correction procedure before being truly accurate again, thereby resulting in a relatively lengthy "dead time" during which time the inclination measurement apparatus is effectively inoperable.
It should be noted that there are no absolute constraints regarding the relative orientations between the reference clinometer(s) and the indexable clinometer(s) of a dual axis inclination measurement apparatus but they are preferably co-aligned to simplify calculating bias corrected inclination measurements with respect to desired mutually perpendicular measurement axes.
The indexable clinometer bearing turntable 4 may be stopped at its diametrically opposite orientations by mechanical means, electro-mechanical means, and the like.

In a third form of the invention the obstructive element can be of planar construction and have a fixed aperture therethrough that does not open so that the obstructive element must be threaded onto the free end of a cable as it is one-off its cable drum during the laying process.
In this case it is preferred that the aperture be oversized relative to the outer diameter of a cable on which it is to be used in which case a cooperating clamping member that can be introduced diametrically over a cable cooperates with the aperture to clamp the obstructive element relative to the cable.
Also, it is preferred that the foot be close to the aperture, as illustrated in order to prevent possible damage to the cable during the process of burying it should it be supported on sharp edges presented by the lower periphery of the aperture.

 900.00 MODELABILITY
610.2.) In the octahedron and icosahedron, each vertex is opposite another vertex; and each of their vertexes is diametrically blocked against articulating a self-inside-outing transformation.
But contrariwise, each of the octahedron's and icosahedron's vertex events are constrainingly impulsed inwardly in an exact central-system direction and thence impelled toward diametric exit and inside-outing transformation; and their vertex events would do so were it not for their diametrically opposed vertexes, which are surroundingly tense-vector-restrained from permitting such outward egress.
Because each tetrahedron has both four vertexes and four subtending nonvertex voids, we can identify those four diametrically complementary sets of all minimal cosmic structural systems as the four visible vertexes and the four nonvisible nonvertexes, i.e., the triangularly symmetrical, peripheral voids.

 math lessons - Antipodal point
Antipodal points on the surface of a sphere are diametrically opposite; on the other side of a globe.
In mathematics, the concept of antipodal points is generalized to spheres of any dimension: two points on the sphere are antipodal if they are opposite through the centre; for example, taking the centre as origin, they are points with related vectors v and −v.
In other words, each line through the centre intersects the sphere in two points, one for each ray out from the centre, and these two points are antipodal.

The tangent to the incircle at S is parallel to BC (since tangents to a circle at two diametrically opposite points are always parallel) and meets the sides AB and AC at two new points B' and C'.
Now, since S is the point diametrically opposite to X on the incircle, the center I of the incircle is the midpoint of the segment XS.

It also bisects the opposite face in the same way, so there are 6 planes of symmetry in this class.

 09.09.98 - Lunar Prospector Data Show How Meteor Impacts Shaped the Moon’s Magnetic Field
Those measurements indicated a correlation between meteor impact basins -- dark, roughly circular features on the face of the moon -- and strong magnetic fields on the diametrically opposite side of the moon.
Using an improved instrument aboard Lunar Prospector, they already have mapped the magnetic fields of nearly the entire area opposite the impact basins Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis, or Sea of Serenity, and have confirmed the correlation.
The ionized gas or plasma would have compressed the moon's magnetic field and, when the debris fell to the surface, magnetized it in a process known as shock magnetization.

 09.02.98 - Lunar Prospector measurements show how meteor impacts have shaped the moon's magnetic field
BERKELEY -- The first four months of data from the Lunar Prospector, a satellite that has orbited the moon since January, has yielded a wealth of new information about magnetic fields on the moon and the possible geologic history of the lunar surface.
In particular, magnetic field measurements by an instrument built at the University of California, Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory give strong support to the theory that giant meteor impacts billions of years ago created areas of strong magnetic field diametrically opposite the impact site on the lunar surface.
When the plasma cloud finally converged on the diametrically opposite side of the moon - a mere five minutes after impact - the squeezed magnetic field would be quite large, Lin said.

 Defeat Diabetes: Effect of Vitamin C on Blood Pressure Unclear
A paper in the December issue of Hypertension reports that long-term vitamin C supplementation has no effect on blood pressure, while another paper in the same journal reports that vitamin C does lower blood pressure after 1 month in type 2 diabetics.
The two studies yielded "diametrically opposite results," Dr. Laura P. Svetkey, from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and Dr. Catherine M. Loria, from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, note in an accompanying editorial.
Instead of testing the effect of a single nutrient, "perhaps we need to approach dietary research from the opposite direction, first testing which combination of foods...lower blood pressure or prevent the age-related rise in blood pressure," the editorialists state.
