	Dynamic positioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dynamic positioning (DP) is a system to automatically maintain a ship’s position and heading by using her own propellers and thrusters.
		Dynamic positioning may either be absolute in that the position is locked to a fixed point over the bottom, or relative to a moving object like another ship or an underwater vehicle.
		The initial position of the transponders is determined by USBL and/ or by measuring the baselines between the transponders.

	Navis.gr - Anchoring via Dynamic Positioning
		Dynamic positioning is an automated system that allows a ship to stay in place without the use of an anchor.
		A differential Global Positioning System (GPS) method, provides the vessel with a degree of accuracy of within about 15 feet, as compared with a regular GPS system which has an accuracy rate of within 100 feet.
		In actuality, there are two dynamic positioning methods deployed in today's market -- the GPS system, which is based on satellite readings; and a second technique, which relies on readings dispersed from underwater transmitters.

	Inside Dynamic HTML - Book Information
		Dynamic positioning uses the object model to access and manipulate the positions of elements in the document through the CSS object model and through the rendered positions of the elements on the screen.
		In relative positioning, an element stays in the flow of the document and is positioned relative to its normal position in the flow.
		CSS positioning supports two new ways to position an element: relative, which positions an element relative to the element's normal location in the document's flow, and absolute, which moves the element outside the flow, where it can be positioned with precise accuracy.

		Dynamic positioning is achieved and maintained entirely through therapeutic handling; static positioning is maintained through use of adapted equipment.
		Prior to positioning a child in an adapted chair, for example, therapeutic handling techniques are applied to place the child in a sitting position with tone normalized and the body properly aligned.
		During eating, the static positioning offered by the headrest might be less beneficial than dynamic positioning, in which the teacher puts one hand on the student’s head only when stabilization is needed.

		Acoustic positioning is also used for tracking of underwater vehicles or equipment, the marking of underwater features or hardware and the control of subsea equipment by means of acoustic telemetry.
		A taut wire is a useful position reference, particularly when the vessel may spend long periods in a static location and the water depth is limited.
		The length of wire deployed, together with the angle of the wire, defines the position of the sensor head with reference to the depressor weight once the vertical distance from the sheave of the crane boom to the seabed is known.

	About Element Positioning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The type of positioning to use depends on the layout of the content and the purpose of the document.
		Contrast this with an absolutely positioned element where subsequent text and elements occupy what would have been the natural space for the positioned element before the positioned element was pulled out of the flow.
		This is also true for positioned elements with a negative z-index unless the parent is a scrolling container (that is, its overflow property is set to auto or scroll), or the parent is manually positioned (that is, its position property is set to absolute, relative, or fixed).

		Layers can be used to position HTML content anywhere on the screen/page and these layers may be moved and overlapped.

		A relative position means the positioning rules refer to the distance from the position that the layer's content would normally appear if it were not a layer.

		Dynamic positioning audits are carried out on all types of offshore vessels, including diving support, heavy lift, pipelaying, trenching and ROV support vessels, to ensure "fitness for purpose".
		DP audits and sea trials are designed to identify any potential "single point failures" which, if occurring when the vessel is operating on DP, may cause the vessel to move unintentionally from its intended position and threaten the safety of the operation.
		Wavespec's marine engineering expertise is ideally suited to analysing the technical complexities of a DP system; the position and environmental reference systems, the computers, the power generation and distribution systems to the thrusters and main propellers.

	Dynamic Positioning
		Dynamic positioning (DP) is now playing a greater role in station keeping for floating structures.
		A DP system employs propellers, lateral thrusters, and/or other control devices (such as the rudder of a drill ship) mounted on the structure, commanded by either human operator or an automatic control system to counteract the environmental forces due to wind, wave, and ocean currents.
		In order to design an effective DP system and operate it successfully, the designer and the operator must understand and be able to predict the response (motions) of the vessel to actions of the control devices in various environments.

		At Welsch's International we are capable of providing an integrated system for lay - and work barges based on the Dynamic Positioning System (DPS).
		Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) is a system that serves two purposes- it can be to move a barge and other floating units from one work location to another or to keep the vessel at the desired location automatically by using propellers or thruster at various positions on the hull without the need of anchors.
		The DPS is designed to eliminate the use of anchors in lay-barges and other work vessels, thus bringing more precision during the process of pipe laying.

	Cross-Browser, Cross-Version, Cross-Platform JavaScript and Dynamic HTML
		A text-only browser like Lynx will never display animations, but well designed Dynamic HTML will (in addition to being fully functional on all browsers) degrade gracefully so that the content is still viewable on older versions of the browsers and on text-only browsers for disabled accessibility and indexing by robots.
		This means that the challenge today for web designers is to exploit the power of Dynamic HTML without chaining their site to any single operating system or browser and without locking out the disabled or users of earlier browsers and older operating systems.
		CSSP markup makes it possible to declare HTML elements to be absolutely or relatively positioned, to define their initial position on the page, and to make the elements initially hidden or visible.
