  Map Projections: Properties: Preserving Distances
equidistant cylindrical map, all arrow lines have the same length; however, actual world distances (measured in km) between the ends of each arrow vary enormously.
Sanson-Flamsteed equatorial map, all parallels are standard lines: if segment A is twice the length of B, corresponding lines on Earth follow the same proportion.
Since all parallels are equally long in the map, horizontal scale increases quickly towards the top and bottom, reaching infinity at the poles.

  Cycloidal equidistant curved gear transmission mechanism and its device - Patent 4922781
The equidistant curves generally could not be carried out on a section of cycloids where the radius of curvature is smaller than the equidistant value, however arcs with equidistant values equal to the radii and the initial points of cycloids as center of curvature are permissible.
The remaining portion of the cycloidal equidistant curve is the arc, the center point of which is at the cycloidal initial point and the value r of the equidistance as its radius.
Double cycloid equidistant gear pumps and oil motors represent specific embodiments of the cycloidal equidistant gear mechanism which is constituted on the basis of arc-pancycloidal rotor pump and by modifying the arc tooth profile therein with the incorporation of gears having conjugated and mutually envelopable cycloidal equidistant tooth forms.

 Adam Coffman --- equidistant surfaces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)

Since the center of a circle is equidistant from all point on a circle it must also be on the perpendicular bisector of the chord.
Because the center of the circle is equidistant from the two endpoints of the chord, it is on the perpendicular bisector of the chord.
By the definition of a circle the center is equidistant from all points on the circle and since the endpoints of a chord are on the circle the center is equidistant from them.

 Calculation of equidistant plant spacing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Theoretically, the best utilization of light, water, nutrients, and space by individual plants in a crop stand occurs when plants are equal distance from each other in all directions.
This distance, known as the equidistant plant spacing, can be easily calculated using the stand density for the crop and the following equation:
Since we want equal distance between all plants in the stand, our row spacing will be the same as the spacing between adjacent plants in the row.

 Map Projections Poster
For example, the basic Mercator projection is unique; it yields the only map on which a straight line drawn anywhere within its bounds shows a particular type of direction, but distances and areas are grossly distorted near the map's polar regions.
On an equidistant map, distances are true only along particular lines such as those radiating from a single point selected as the center of the projection.
For example, an Azimuthal Equidistant map centered at Washington shows the correct distance between Washington and any other point on the projection.

Now that we've found the point equidistant from A and the specific point P on our circle, what is the location of 'E' for all of the points of the circle.
So, in order to prove that the locus of point equidistant from a fixed point and a circle is an ellipse, we need to find our two foci and the make sure the sum of r1 and r2 is, indeed, a constant.
Let's move point A outside of the circle and use the same construction as before to find the point E which is equidistant from the circle and A. Click on 'Animate' in this GSP file to see how E moves as P goes around the circle.

 NetLogo Models Library: Equidistant Probability
Because there are exactly as many creatures as there are selected squares, and because they all step forward at the same moment, if all the creatures arrive at the same square at the same moment, then that square is "equidistant" (equally far away) from all the selected squares.
In that case, the square where they all landed becomes green and keeps a count of how often, out of all their "attempts," the creatures met there.
When you are through with selecting, un-press the button so as not to make further selections by mistake while the model is running.
