		The haversine waveform load-controlled tests increased the load from 50 N to 550 N in 10.0, 1.0, and 0.2 seconds; loading rates of 0.1 Hz, 1.0Hz, and 5.0 Hz.
		One-cycle haversine loading rates of 0.1 Hz, 1.0 Hz, and 5.0 Hz were used to simulate an amputee loading the liner material at low, moderate, and high activity levels.

		For all intents and purposes, the haversine is the most accurate way to calculate distance on a sphere.
		That's why, if you have any sense of irony, you will already have guessed that even though the haversine method is the most accurate way to determine distance, it is also by far the slowest.
		Ranking the methods by execution time, you find that haversine is slowest, followed by the law of spherical cosines, followed by the Pythagorean theorem.

	High power factor switched DC power supply - Patent 5532918
		The output of the full-wave rectifier 116 can be called a "haversine," and has a frequency of twice the frequency of the AC line voltage from the power line.
		The haversine is provided to input terminal "A" of the ratiometric multiplier 110, as well as to a feedback circuit 118 for controlling the gain of amplifier 114.
		The AGC CONTROL signal causes the haversine to have a peak magnitude that is substantially equal to the constant voltage input, i.e., the two volt reference, to the error amplifier 120.

		Pacer output signal BB is presented to a trigger circuit 78, which may conventionally be a comparator with a hysteresis response such as a Schmitt trigger, to form an on-off signal GG, indicating the event of a pacer output signal.
		As hereinabove described, the test wave, or haversine wave, generated by the pacer system analyzer is not determinative of pacer performance because of the many frequency characteristics of an actual heartbeat which greatly change the waveform after passage through conventional pacer filter circuitry.

		The form of the Haversine Formula that uses the atan2() function is probably best for programming, assuming your programming language has an atan2() function.
		First, a word about the meaning of "haversine." This is the name of one of several lesser-known trigonometric functions that were once familiar to navigators and the like.
		The HAVERSINE is half the versine, or (1-cos(A))/2.

		For the mathematically inclined a haversine is an artificially produced ratio where Haversine A = 1/2(1 - Cos A).
		Unlike all other trigonometric ratios the value of the haversine is positive (+) from 0 degrees to 360 degrees and this fact lets us produce a formula where all that is required is a bit of simple addition.
		This is an annual publication and, amongst other information, contains all that is required to let you establish the GHA and Declination of the sun and the moon as well as the planets and stars of navigational significance.

	Calculate distance and bearing between two Latitude/Longitude points using Haversine formula
		The Haversine formula remains particularly well-conditioned for numerical computation even at small distances â“ unlike calculations based on the spherical law of cosines.
		Note (July 2005): on further investigation, Iâve found that the numeric precision of JavaScript is so good (15 significant figures using IEEE 754 floating-point numbers) that the simple spherical law of cosines formula gives well-conditioned results down to distances as small as around 1 metre.
		In view of this it is probably worth, in most situations, using either the simpler law of cosines or the more accurate ellipsoidal Vincenty formula in preference to Haversine!

		I know it takes more trig calculations, and if one point is fixed, the one trig function in the planar calculation can be pre-calculated, so there may be very good reasons for using the planar calculation whenever possible.
		I would use the Haversine formula for distance when distances may be quite small: Deriving the Haversine Formula http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/51879.html If you'd like, I could generate a table showing the errors for various distances and directions from a given point.
		I am programming this in SAS and need to calculate the distance 1.3 billion times in the program (this simulation is run every day too), so efficiency in calculations will factor in.

		The third asset of Bruce is his method of obtaining reference lunar distances that are to be compared with the cleared distance for obtaining G.M.T. One would say that after these distances had disappeared from nautical almanacs in 1907-1924, the death of lunars was imminent.

		The great circle distance d will be in the same units as R. The min() function protects against possible roundoff errors that could sabotage computation of the arcsine if the two points are very nearly antipodal (that is, on opposide sides of the Earth).
		Under these conditions, the Haversine Formula is ill-conditioned (see the discussion below), but the error, perhaps as large as 2 km (1 mi), is in the context of a distance near 20,000 km (12,000 mi).

	Problem G - Mars Buggy
		This formula, although correct, suffers from accuracy errors when implemented on a computer (or calculated by hand using slide rule or lookup tables).
		To cope with the inaccuracy, navigators use a special set of trignometric functions, one being the versine which is defined as: versine(x) = 1 - cos(x), and an other, haversine, being half that value.
		The so called 'Haversine Formula' uses this function to calculate the distance, without the loss of accuracy from the formula stated above:

		This formula calculates great-circle distances between the points; great circle distance is the shortest distance between two points traveled over the earth's surface.
		The Haversine Formula calculation uses a mean radius for the Earth of 6,371km, which adds some inherent error to the calculation (between 0.11% at the equator, and 0.24% at the poles).
		However, in our region of the globe, the radius of the earth is very close to the mean radius used for the calculations that the error in these calculations is closer to the order of 0.05%.
