	Method of measuring and compensating roll eccentricity of a rolling mill - Patent 5181408
		The on-line eccentricity compensation method is utilized for generating eccentricity compensation signals using the eccentricity vector established by the foregoing off-line eccentricity identification method, and for transferring the eccentricity compensation signals to an automatic gauge control (AGC) system for compensating the backup roll eccentricities and thus correcting the thickness variations of a rolling plate.
		The present invention relates to a method of measuring and compensating the eccentricities of the backup rolls of a rolling mill for correcting the thickness variations of a rolling plate caused by the eccentricities of the backup rolls.
		It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a method of measuring and compensating the eccentricities of the backup rolls of a rolling mill to reduce the thickness variations of a rolling plate caused by the eccentricities of the backup rolls.

	Optical fiber connector tuning wrench - Patent 6155146
		Rotation of the wrench thus causes rotation of the ferrule-barrel assembly to alter the angular orientation of the eccentricity vector of the ferrule.
		This offset, which generally varies from connector to connector, is known as "eccentricity", and is defined as the distance between the longitudinal centroidal axis of the ferrule at the end face thereof and the centroidal axis of the optical fiber core held within the ferrule passage and is made up of three vectors.
		Preferably the magnitude of the eccentricity relative to the ferrule axis is 1.8 to 3.5 microns.

		Component of vector--When a vector is resolved into a sum of vectors in specified directions, each of those vector is the component of the given vector in the specified direction.
		The eccentricity e of the orbital ellipse is one of the "orbital elements" characterizing it.
		Vectors are added like arrows, end to end, and the sum (for two) is the vector from the tail of the first vector to the tip of the second.

	eccentricity is ruled out
		In the Milankovitch theory, the peak near 0.01 (100 kyr period) is attributed to eccentricity, the peak near 0.024 (41 kyr period) to obliquity, and the peak near 0.043 (23 kyr period) to precession.
		The disagreement between the spectra of the climate and the spectrum of the eccentricity is evident.
		The inclination i is the angle between this vector and the vector of the reference frame; Omega is the azimuthal angle = the angle of the ascending node (in astronomical jargon)..

	Orbital eccentricity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The eccentricity of this conic section, the orbit's eccentricity, is an important parameter of the orbit that defines its absolute shape.
		Eccentricity may be interpreted as a measure of how much this shape deviates from a circle.
		Through time, the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit slowly changes from nearly 0 to almost 0.05 as a result of gravitational attractions between the planets (see graph [1]).

	CSPICE Routines: OSCELT_C
		The mapping from a state vector to equivalent elements is undefined for certain state vectors, and the mapping is difficult to implement with finite precision arithmetic for states near the the subsets of R6 where singularities occur.
		This can occur when the eccentricity of the orbit is close to but not equal to 1.
		One recommended "sanity check" on the outputs is to supply them to the CSPICE routine conics_c and compare the resulting state vector with the one supplied to this routine.

		I understand the components (comparing centrifugal force to gravitational force) and, more importantly, that if you multiply the LRL by the reciprical of the geocentric gravitational constant (or helio..., etc), you get a vector that points towards perigee in a magnitude that tells you your eccentricity.
		If it was designed to calculate an orbit's eccentricity, you would think he would have divided out the geo/helio/etc centric constant right off the bat.
