This paper develops the differential properties of ruled surfaces in a form which is applicable to spatial kinematics. Derivations are presented for the three curvature parameters which define the local shape of a ruled surface. Related parameters are also developed which allow a physical representation of this shape as generated by a cylindric-cylindric crank. These curvature parameters are then used to define all the lines in the moving body which instantaneously generate speciality shaped trajectories. Such lines may be used in the synthesis of spatial motions in the same way that the points on the inflection circle and cubic of stationary curvature are used to synthesize planar motion. As an example of this application several special sets of lines are defined: the locus of all lines which for a general spatial motion instantaneously generate helicoids to the second order and the locus of lines generating right hyperboloids to the third order.

Point Trajectories

This paper develops relationships between the instantaneous invariants of a motion and the local shape of the trajectories generated during the motion. We consider the point trajectories generated by planar and spherical motions and the line trajectories generated by spatial motion. Those points or lines which generate special trajectories are located on (and define) so-called boundary loci in the moving body. These boundary loci define regions, within the body, for which all the points or lines generate similarly shaped trajectories. The shapes of these boundaries depend directly upon the invariants of the motion. It is shown how to qualitatively determine the fundamental trajectory shapes, analyze the effect of the invariants on the boundary loci, and how to combine these results to visualize the motion trajectories to the third order.

The curvature theories for the envelop curve of a line in planar motion and the envelop ruled surface of a plane in spatial motion are extensively researched in the differential geometry language. A line-envelop curve in planar motion is firstly derived by means of the adjoint approach. The higher order curvature theory of the envelop curve reveals a unified form in the infinitesimal and finitely separated positions for a line in planar motion. And then, a plane in spatial motion traces the envelop surface, which is a developable surface and whose invariants are concisely derived. The geodesic curvature of the spherical image curve for the generator’s unit vector is readily derived and compared with that of the unit normal vector of the envelop surface. As a result, the curvature theory for a plane-envelop surface in spatial motion are shown in terms of that of the spherical motion, corresponding to the generator’s unit vector and unit normal vector of the envelop surface. Meanwhile, the instantaneous cubic (cone) of stationary curvature and the direction “Burmester’s line” of the generator of the developable envelop surface are revealed. Therefore, a solid theoretical basis is provided for the synthesis of mechanisms and the machining of surface.

Probe Size

A small electron probe has many applications in many fields and in the case of the STEM, the probe size essentially determines the ultimate resolution. However, there are many difficulties in obtaining a very small probe.Spherical aberration is one of them and all existing probe forming systems have non-zero spherical aberration. The ultimate probe radius is given byδ = 0.43Csl/4ƛ3/4where ƛ is the electron wave length and it is apparent that δ decreases only slowly with decreasing Cs. Scherzer pointed out that the third order aberration coefficient always has the same sign regardless of the field distribution, provided only that the fields have cylindrical symmetry, are independent of time and no space charge is present. To overcome this problem, he proposed a corrector consisting of octupoles and quadrupoles.

As a general index of language development, the recall of first through fourth order approximations to English was examined in four, five, six, and seven year olds and adults. Data suggested that recall improved with age, and increases in approximation to English were accompanied by increases in recall for six and seven year olds and adults. Recall improved for four and five year olds through the third order but declined at the fourth. The latter finding was attributed to deficits in semantic structures and memory processes in four and five year olds. The former finding was interpreted as an index of the development of general linguistic processes.

The ultrafast third-order optical nonlinearity of c-plane GaN crystal, excited by ultrashort (fs) high-repetition-rate laser pulses at 1550 nm, wavelength important for optical communications, is investigated for the first time by optical third-harmonic generation in non-phase-matching conditions. As the thermo-optic effect that can arise in the sample by cumulative thermal effects induced by high-repetition-rate laser pulses cannot be responsible for the third-harmonic generation, the ultrafast nonlinear optical effect of solely electronic origin is the only one involved in this process. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of GaN crystal responsible for the third-harmonic generation process, an important indicative parameter for the potential use of this material in ultrafast photonic functionalities, is determined.
