	Definition: equilibrium mode distribution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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.
		This is because of mode coupling and stripping, primarily by small perturbations in the fiber's geometry which result from the manufacturing and cabling processes.
		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.

	Optical mode mixer using fiber optic bundle - Patent 5754716 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For example, modal equilibrium may be achieved using an optical source with a output modal distribution corresponding to the steady state mode distribution of the fiber of interest.
		Thus, by giving the input light beam an angular width equal to the equilibrium distribution numerical aperture of the fiber and adjusting the source spot size on the fiber input face to match the optical power distribution in a cross section of the fiber equilibrium mode equilibrium may be achieved.
		Mode mixers based upon non-symmetric fiber cross sections are physically compact yet suffer losses incurred in the conversion of the mode field distributions from circularly symmetric to non-symmetric distributions.

	Joseph Story: Distribution of Powers
		As it is tacitly assumed, as a fundamental basis in the constitution of the United States, in the distribution of its powers, it may be worth inquiry, what is the true nature, object, and extent of the maxim, and of the reasoning, by which it is supported.
		The latter, by the mode of their appointment, as well as by the nature and permanency of it, are too far removed from the people to share much in their professions.
		It was said, that the several departments of power were distributed, and blended in such a manner, as at once to destroy all symmetry and beauty of form; and to expose some of the essential parts of the edifice to the danger of being crushed by the disproportionate weight of the other parts.

	Connector Loss Tests
		The standard recommended core mode filter for smaller fibers is 12.5-mm diameter mandrel around which the fiber is wrapped five times under zero tensions.
		It is necessary to use to remove these modes, a cladding mode stripper, which incorporates a fiber, stripped of its cladding buffer, and covered in Corona Dope (available from TV repair suppliers) or some other liquid with a refractive index higher than the cladding.
		Long-launch or receive conditions mean that equilibrium mode distribution (EMD), illustrated in Figure 11, exists in the fiber.

		A mode confined to the cladding; a light ray that propagates in the cladding.
		Three major types are: (a) mode dispersion caused by differential optical path lengths in a multimode fiber; (b) material dispersion caused by a differential delay of various wavelengths of light in a waveguide material; and (c) waveguide dispersion caused by light traveling in both the core and cladding materials in singlemode fibers.
		Due to this mode mixing, the bandwidth of long multimode fibers is greater than the value obtained by linear extrapolation from measurements on shod fibers.

	Antiquity of Man Mode 3 technologies
		The key to the technological mode classification is that it is normative and progressive; nominative in the sense that it describes the predominant method of stone tool productiqn and, in particular, of core reduction.
		Mode 4 technologies expanded along the southern Siberian corridor, and reached, in a diffuse form (as was the case with Mode 2) northern China, Korea and Japan, where they met with Mode 1-2 towards the end of the Pleistocene.
		The Mode 3 hypothesis accounts for the extended temporal spread of the events associated with the evolution of modern humans, and provides a framework for interpreting these within their specific regional contexts rather than as lagged indications of universal human characteristics.

	The Factor Distribution of Income (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The mode of analysis is essentially derived from a Hobbesian framework; a framework of amoral individual calculating rationality.
		If rents have indeed been skewing the distribution of income in favour of elite private interests, whereas contributions to growth have been coming from increasingly disadvantaged labour and public domain interests, then it is likely that the under-rewarded factors will be unable to maintain the growth of their contributions.
		One of the main weaknesses of this mode of analysis is the idea that additions to rents, profits or wages would be spent in a way determined by their source.

	Kingfisher Application Note: Modal Distribution & Noise in Multimode Fiber
		The paths (or modes) nearest to the axis of the core are called low order modes, and the paths with the most deviation are called high order modes.
		It is the high order modes that get attenuated (lost), and as they do so, light gradually transfers from the lower to the higher order modes.
		This condition is called an equilibrium mode distribution, and is the condition traditionally used to measure individual multimode components.

	Punctuated Equilibria
		This pattern includes the characteristically abrupt appearance of new species, the relative stability of morphology in widespread species, the distribution of transitional fossils when those are found, the apparent differences in morphology between ancestral and daughter species, and the pattern of extinction of species.
		Paleospecies, then, have to be recognized as species from morphology alone, where the available morphological characters are drawn from a skewed distribution, the pattern of fossilization is skewed, and the geographic correlates of fossilization are limited in extent.
		Second, the mode of speciation most often seen is also identified from modern populations.

	Mandrel wrapping
		Mandrel wrapping: In multimode fiber optics, a technique used to modify the modal distribution[?] of a propagating optical signal.
		It has application in optical transmission performance tests, to simulate, i.e., establish, equilibrium mode distribution[?] in a launch fiber (a fiber used to inject a test signal in another fiber that is under test).
		If the launch fiber is fully filled ahead of the mandrel wrap, the higher-order modes will be stripped off, leaving only lower-order modes.

		The diameter of a single mode fiber core is generally less than 10 microns; multimode fiber core is typically 50, 62.5, or 100 microns.
		Three types are: a) mode (modal) dispersion caused by differential optical path lengths in a multimode fiber; b) material dispersion caused by a differential delay of various wavelengths of light in a fiber; and c) waveguide dispersion caused by light traveling in both the core and cladding materials in single mode fibers.
		Because the mode field diameter is greater than the core diameter, MFD replaces core diameter as a practical parameter.

	Normal Mode Approach (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The justification for linearising is the observation that the bulk plasma remains essentially static whilst experiencing only small magnitude perturbations when examined over timescales that are long compared with those associated with the small scale dynamics.
		One approach in studying linear stability and waves is to reformulate equation (2.3) as a normal mode problem.
		The addition of a fast particle distribution upon a steady-state background plasma may perturb the stable eigenvalues of the system so that weakly growing or decaying oscillatory waves are obtained as illustrated in Fig.

	All You Need to Know about Punctuated Equilibrium (almost)
		Darwinian "gradualness" has little to do with the rate or tempo of evolution; it is a mode of change that is dependent on population phenomena.
		Eldredge and Gould thought of PE as being adequately explained by, and being a direct consequence of, allopatric speciation theory, which in their eyes was the dominant mainstream theory of speciation in current evolutionary biology.
		Punctuated equilibrium is a valid scientific hypothesis, and when geological strata are complete with good temporal resolution and the fossil record is well-represented, the hypothesis is testable.
