  Definition: equilibrium mode distribution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
equilibrium mode distribution (EMD): That condition in a multimode fiber wherein after propagation has taken place for a certain distance, called the "equilibrium length," the relative power distribution among modes becomes statistically constant and remains so for the course of further propagation down the fiber.
Note 2: After the equilibrium length has been traversed, the numerical aperture of the fiber's output is independent of the numerical aperture of the optical source, i.e., beam, that drives the fiber.
Note 3: In the ray-optics analogy, the equilibrium mode distribution may be loosely thought of as a condition in which the "outermost rays" in the fiber core are stripped off by such phenomena as microbends, and only the "innermost rays" continue to propagate.

 Lab M5: Hooke’s Law and the Simple Harmonic Oscillator
The displacement of the mass is (+) and the spring force is to the left (-).
Simple harmonic motion occurs whenever there is a restoring force which is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium, as is the case here.
When the mass is hung from the spring, the spring is stretched from its equilibrium length by the gravitational force on the mass, mg, which we call the weight.

The “equilibrium length” is the distance at which the wire is within 1 degree of the equilibrium temperature; for a 60K ambient and low current this is effectively zero (as indicated).
The equilibrium length was not calculated for heavier-gauge copper wire, but it should scale roughly as the square root of the wire diameter.
This is because the equilibrium lengths are close enough to the 60 cm used for the non-radiative case that the temperature profile along the wire is about the same.

When a glass former approaches dynamical arrest, the time scale for its relaxation to equilibrium becomes large, so large that it is longer than an experimentalist will care to measure.
Under this circumstance it is said that the system has "fallen out of equilibrium." Whether or not a system has fallen out of equilibrium is therefore an issue of experimental technique, and as such, there can be no unambiguous point at which a system changes from a super cooled fluid to a glass.
Rather, the growing length scales of a glass former are manifested in the phenomenon called dynamic heterogeneity.

 Positional frames of reference in motor control: Origin and use
Since, in the equilibrium state, the net muscle torque equals the external (e.g., gravitational) torque, the EP characterizes the interaction of the joint with the environment and thus emphasizes that they act as equal partners in movement.
In contrast, the length of a monoarticular muscle subserving, say, joint 1, is a single-valued function of the joint angle and thus the boundary condition for muscle activation (x(1) = lambda(1)) occurs at a specific joint angle R1 irrespective of the configuration of adjacent joints.
A change in the C command does not influence the equilibrium configuration of the limb or of the body and thus it is functionally independent of the R command.

The spring has a certain length when no force is applied (in fact we have draw the vertical axes on the graphs so that they go through this value of the extension, x).
We say the force is positive to stretch (make longer) the spring and negative to compress (make shorter) it.

The displacement away from equilibrium of an object undergoing simple harmonic motion is described by a sinusoidal function.
In the case of an object attached to a spring, when the spring is extended beyond its equilibrium length, it exerts a force on the object that tends to pull it back to the equilibrium position.
Note that x is measured from the equilibrium point, and can be positive or negative, depending on which side of the equilibrium the object is located.

In effect, a paper clip consists of two metal surfaces that are pressed against one another by the elasticity of the metal wire from which the paper clip is built.
As you distort the paper clip away from its equilibrium shape, by spreading the two surfaces apart, it experiences restoring forces.
A restoring force is defined as a force that "acts to restore the spring to its equilibrium length" (Bloomfield 81) and a force is defined as "an influence that if exerted on a free body results chiefly in an acceleration of the body and sometimes in deformation and other effects" (Bloomfield 482).
