 Rotation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rotation of a planar body is the movement when points of the body travel in circular trajectories around a fixed point called the center of rotation.
An example of rotation of a planar figure around a point is the movement of the propeller of an aircraft.
The simplest three-dimensional rotation is rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis of rotation: a line such that each point of the body moves in a plane perpendicular to that line, in a circle centered at the intersection of the plane and the line.

 Rotation Diet -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Rotational delay is a term from computing applicable to rotating storage devices (such as a typical hard disk or floppy disk drive but also the older drum memory systems).
The rotational delay is the delay caused by having to wait for the portion of the disk (or drum or whatever) to rotate round so that the data you want to access is readable by the read/write head.
Maximum rotational delay is the time it takes to do a full rotation (as the relevant part of the disk may have just passed the head when you wanted the data from it).

If it refers to the process, the simplest case is rotation about a fixed axis of rotation: a line such that each point of the body moves in a plane perpendicular to that line, in a circle centered at the intersection of the plane and the line.
In mathematics also more abstract rotations are considered: rotations are any norm- and orientation-preserving linear transformations on a vector space with an inner product (or, more generally, corresponding affine transformations).
In the case of only linear transformations, these rotations form the rotation group: a group of so called special orthogonal matrices (special means determinant equals 1; orthogonal means the transpose is the inverse) designated by the name SO(n) in case of an n-dimensional vector space.

 Orientational disambiguation for self-clocking glyph codes - Patent 6182901
Indeed, this is an especially significant issue when the glyphs encode the data values in their rotational orientations, such as when the glyphs are slash-like symbols that are oriented at.+-.45.degree.
rotation of the glyph code pattern maintains the identities of the individual glyphs because each of the glyphs is transformed into the same, orientationally matched member of the glyph set.
In this event, the sync code is used in a feed forward mode to reorder and correct the decode values as may be required to compensate for decode errors, such as additions, dropouts and shearing of data.

 Planetary orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, an orbit is the path that an object makes, around another object, whilst under the influence of a source of centripetal force, such as gravity.
Conversely, the gravity of the satellite on the bulges applies torque on the primary and speeds up its rotation.
Artificial satellites are too small to have an appreciable tidal effect on the planets they orbit, but several moons in the solar system are undergoing orbital decay by this mechanism.

When these body rotation signals are reliable, as during rotation in the light, percepts of body movement are roughly veridical.
However, during fast off-vertical rotation in the dark (i.e., about a tilted axis), subjects have illusory translation and tilt percepts that do not correspond to the actual pure rotation stimulus.

 Tree rotation
A tree rotation is an operation on a binary search tree that changes the structure without interfering with the order of the elements.
They are used to change the shape of the tree, and in particular to decrease its height by moving smaller subtrees down and larger subtrees up, resulting in improved performance of many tree operations.
Tree rotations are used in a number of tree data structures such as AVL trees, red-fl trees, and splay trees.

In dimensions higher than 3, rotations may be categorized into principal rotations, which are those analogous to the familiar rotations in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space, and Clifford-style rotations, which are the other members of SO(n).
Principal rotations are parallel to a 2-dimensional plane, and is said to happen in the plane.
Clifford-style rotations are equivalent to simultaneous, orthogonal principal rotations.
