	Pickoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A pickoff is an act by a pitcher, throwing a live ball to a fielder so that the fielder would tag out a baserunner who is either leading off or about to begin stealing the next base.
		In lower-skilled amateur games, the pickoff move is less common due to the potential for an error if the pitcher throws wild or the fielder fails to make the catch.
		Finally a pickoff is good for trying to see if the other team will give up their current strategy--this is the common use for the "third to first" move.

	LRIS Pickoff Mirror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The pickoff mirror was proposed by Sandy Faber as a means to avoid any flexure or rotator errors that could produce slitmask misalignment when guiding with the offset guider.
		The pickoff mirror is the bright square and the frame that holds it is L-shaped.
		There are seven pickoff mirrors in existence at this time, all fitting the same side of the bar (mirrors on the other side are not completely imaged by the slit-viewing camera).

	Simon Jolly DPhil Thesis Chapter 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The vertical pickoffs are more closely matched than the horizontal pickoffs: since the FONT experiment will be concerned with moving and measuring a beam in just the y direction, it was the intention while constructing the BPM to maximise the performance of the vertical pickoffs, hence the better match of the top and bottom electrodes.
		In order that both of the pickoff signals used to produce the difference signal were of the same magnitude, a 1 dB attenuator was used in the signal path of the bottom pickoff, at the same relative location as the phase shifter, to match the signal attenuation of the phase shifter.
		Finally, the bottom pickoff was reconnected and the output of the sum mixer measured at 37 mV; the two sum phase shifters in the sum path were then adjusted slightly to confirm that the signal output of the sum mixer was at a maximum, before being returned to their optimum positions.

	Arthur Pickoff, M.D., appointed Chair of Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine’s Department of ...
		Pickoff came to Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine in 1999, after serving as director of the Section of Pediatric Cardiology at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans.
		Pickoff’s research interests have focused upon pediatric cardiology, including the pharmacology of anti-arrhythmic agents in the pediatric patient and the electrophysiology of the immature heart, with special emphasis on autonomic modulation of electrophysiological responses.
		Also active in the community, Pickoff serves as immediate past-president of the Miami Valley Division of the American Heart Association Board of Advisors and, was a research grant reviewer for the Southern and Ohio Valley Affiliates.

	NAOMI description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The pickoff mirror has a diameter of 5 arcsec, and sits on a small strut mounted perpendicular to a vertical glass plate at one end of the WFS unit.
		As the pickoff mirror moves in x and y, the WFS foreoptics move along the track to compensate for the change in focus.
		The pickoff mirror is preceded by a lens which makes the beam passing through the dichroic telecentric, to minimise the curvature of the focal plane near the pickoff mirror (the WFS compensates in focus for the residual curvature?).

	Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Archive System
		The flight pickoff mirror was characterized first, then other optical elements exposed to the HST hub area were analyzed to see if they showed the same effects.
		The flight pickoff mirror, the aperture window, and the HSP filters were examined and photographed using a high-power microscope in phase-contrast (Nomarski) mode.
		Since the aperture window and pickoff mirror were known to contain the same contaminant, the ratio of sputter times was used to deduce that the aperture window contained approximately 150 Angstroms of contamination and the pickoff mirror contained about 450 Angstroms.

	Pitching - Pickoff Moves
		The good news is that since stealing third requires such a good jump, you as a pitcher can make the runner feel very uneasy at second if you pay attention to him.
		There are a few methods for making a pickoff move to second.
		One is to spin towards your glove hand side after you come set, or you can come set and then as you pick up your leg you simply let your leg continue back towards second, planting it and making a throw.

	IMPROVED BEAD PICKOFF ARRANGEMENT
		A primary problem, however, is the need to increase the removal force on the beads without simultaneously increasing the magnetic force holding toner on the shell at the removal or drop off point.
		With reference to Figure 1, a bead pickoff device 100 may be advantageously located within the confines of developer housing on the down stream side thereof.
		Bead pickoff device 100 is generally comprised of a cylindrical shell 102 journaled for rotation about a stationary magnet member 104 in the counterclockwise direction, indicated by arrow 103.

	ESPN.com - MLB - Hot Stove Heaters: Best pickoff move (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Each guy is lying about himself and trying to read the other, and the conclusion, whether it's a pickoff or a steal, comes with a sweet, stinging "gotcha" punch right in the gut.
		Of course, some part of the pickoff game is to not have to pick off anyone at all.
		Ask coaches, players, and writers around the game who the best pickoff artists are and you tend to hear the same handful of names: Anderson, Buehrle, Rogers, Mulholland and Pettitte.

	RMF: Football Pickoff - Ideas for 2004/05 [RotoGuru Football Forum]
		I know that negatives are part of the game, but there is something in human psychology that loves high scoring, even if one is no more in the game with big numbers than they were with negative numbers.
		I think part of the lag in pickoff is that people feel they are way out of it when they have a negative score, and stop picking.
		I'll be updating Pickoff later this month, so this is your last chance to get new ideas for 2004 on the table prior to launch.

	Better Production - ID Pickoff Alternative Saves Shop Money
		The company needed to backwork the part, but it couldn’t grab the outside of the part with the OD pickoff attachment because it would distort the threads.
		This newly developed collet fits Euroturn OD pickoff spindles, as well as Gildemeister and Tornos Deco machines, and it can be made to hold workpieces of a specific size and/or shape.
		Aside from the setup time and cost savings, the company reports that with the Hardinge expanding collet, there is little problem holding tolerances on machined features as the machine goes from a cold start to normal operating temperature.

	Pickoff play turns sour for Pirates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Unknowingly, the Pirates were about to lose their one-run lead and help themselves lose a 5-4 game by proving that there's only one thing worse than the old third-to-first pickoff maneuver not working: having it actually work.
		Fogg was pondering a 3-2 pitch to Nick Johnson when word came from mission control that the third-to-first pickoff attempt was on, and Fogg complied dutifully, stepping toward Carroll at third, faking a throw, then whipping it to first baseman Daryle Ward instead.
		It was the best presentation for the no-good-can-come-of-this lobby since former Pirates reliever Mike Williams picked a runner off first in San Diego, and was so startled that the play worked his throw sailed 10 feet over Kevin Young's head.

		There's no way I'd pick Georgetown to beat the Rams, not in the Bronx, and not after that display the Hoyas had last weekend.
		Look, I know you love the Hoyas, but you cannot pick them to be a Mortal Lock just "to cover".
		Well, I've been lost in never never land for a while, but these lines are too good to pass up.
