But all these move up and down, as it were, by a certain oscillation existing in the earth.
Therefore, since the time ofoscillation depends on the arc of the swing, the time-keeping qualities were directly affected.
He is known in his degree by oscillation between loose indulgence and stiff habit.
The oscillation between impulse arrested and frozen in rigid custom and impulse isolated and undirected is seen most conspicuously when epochs of conservatism and revolutionary ardor alternate.
Such an astonishing oscillation of opinion as regards the estimation of the merits and demerits of the Japanese nation and its history is more than to be endured.
We must put an end to this oscillation and must be fairly represented, and in order to avoid misrepresentation we must portray ourselves as fairly as we can.
It must be noted here that the notion of number according to Vais'e.sika is due to mental relativity or oscillation (apeksabuddhijanya).
When the rod was lengthened by heat, the quicksilver and the jar which contained it were simultaneously expanded and elevated, and the centre of oscillation was thus continued at the same distance from the point of suspension.
By this means the pendulum contained the power of equalising its own action, and the centre of oscillation continued at the same absolute distance from the point of suspension through all the variations of heat and cold during the year.
Any function with restricted oscillation is integrable.
The corresponding difference for points in a finite interval is called the "oscillation of the function in the interval.
The condition of restricted oscillation includes all the functions contemplated in the statement of the theorem and some others.
It can be proved that any function with restricted oscillation is capable of being expressed as the sum of two monotonous functions, of which one never increases and the other never diminishes throughout the interval.
When any of the four limits of indefiniteness is infinite the oscillation is infinite in the sense explained in S 7.
The oscillation of the core causes the contact carrying end of the beam to move between two stationary contact points connected to the auxiliary or secondary relay circuit.
For every oscillation in the sending antenna there will be another, similar in every respect except that it will be feebler, in the receiving antenna.
The advantage of this is that by introducing condensers the capacity of which can be varied, and coils the inductance of which can be varied, into the oscillation circuit it becomes possible to "tune" the circuits effectively.
And if you want to set up an electrical oscillation in any circuit you can best do it by giving it impulses at intervals which agree with its natural frequency.
The following table gives the period, for various amplitudes [alpha], in terms of that of oscillation in an infinitely small arc [viz.
The oscillation of M then resembles that of a particle at a distance a from one end of a string of length a + b fixed at the ends and subject to a tension mg.
The reciprocal relation between the centres of suspension and oscillation is the basis of Kater's method of determining g experimentally.
The above problem is identical with that of the oscillation of a particle in a smooth spherical bowl, in the neighbourhood of the lowest point.
It will be noted that the relation between C and P is the same as that which connects the centres of suspension and oscillation in the compound pendulum.
To find the forced oscillation due to a periodic force we have [:x] + k[.
This shows that if the body were swung from a parallel axis through P the new centre of oscillation would be at O.
And so there is produced an oscillation and an average which represent a social state, an epoch, sometimes a whole civilization.
It represents perhaps the oscillation between the two geniuses, the Greek and the Roman, the eastern and the western, the ancient and the Christian, or the struggle between the two ideals, that of liberty and that of holiness.
The center of oscillation is not coincident with the center of the shuttle; but it is nearly so with the periphery of the thread reel, and exactly coincides with the point where the under thread is drawn from the shuttle, g.
The beak is intended to enter and detain the loops of upper thread, and lead them so that they ultimately envelop the shuttle, a motion of the thread which is chiefly due to the oscillation of the shuttle in a vertical plane.
The rushes of current may be of the same direction under the conditions before assumed, but most generally there is an oscillation superimposed upon the fundamental vibration of the current.
The winding also breaks down easily in consequence of the sparks which form between the sections of the armature or commutator when a vigorous oscillation takes place.
The difference of potential in this electric oscillation is, of course, the equivalent of the stretching force in the mechanical vibration of the spring.
When the tension of the currents is very high, the magnet ordinarily used in connection with the discharger is of comparatively small value, as it is quite easy to adjust the dimensions of the circuit so that oscillation is maintained.
It is preferable to use a large iron core and a condenser of large capacity so as to bring the superimposed quicker oscillation to a very low pitch or to do away with it entirely.
He pointed out what conditions must be observed in order that the period of vibration of the electrical system might not disturb the mechanical oscillation in such a way as to alter the periodicity, but merely to shorten the stroke.
Under certain conditions, when the frequency of the oscillation is very great, white, phantom-like streams are seen to break forth from the terminals of the coil.
But the most interesting of all, perhaps, is the maintenance of the constancy of oscillation by the reaction of the electromagnetic part of the combination.
This process is repeated in rapid succession, and in this manner I have maintained oscillation with as low as 50 volts, or even less, across the gap.
This oscillation might continue until the two sets of opposing forces were adjusted, and the crust reached a condition of comparative stability.
The aspect of our coal seams to-day, alternating between thick layers of sand and mud, shows a remarkable oscillation of the land.
For the effect of the weight of the rod is to throw the centre of oscillation a little above the centre of gravity of the bob, while the effect of the size of the bob is to throw the centre of oscillation a little down.
It may be asked why, if the time of oscillation of the pendulum be independent of the amplitude of the arc of vibration, and hence of the impulse, it is necessary that the impulse should be uniform.
It was impossible to detect the mystery by the aid of the eye alone; the truth, however, was that the whole figure swung to and fro at each oscillation of the pendulum, to an amount of 1/400 of an inch on the outside rim of the base.
The most perfect escapement would be that one which should perform its duty with the least influence upon the time of oscillation or vibration of the regulating organ.
Huygens attempted to correct these irregularities in the verge escapement in watches by amplifying the arc of oscillation of the balance itself.
This latter performs its vibrations of oscillation quite without interference, and it is only in contact with the train during the very brief moment of impulse which is needful to keep the regulating organ in motion.
The arm L serves to disengage or unlock the wheel by lifting the lever D upon the return oscillation of the pendulum.
We can cause a train of electric oscillations in one circuit to induce similar oscillations in a neighbouring circuit, and thus construct an oscillation transformer or high frequency induction coil.
The Barbarians came crushing against it;--and for some minutes there was an oscillation throughout the army, which became weaker and weaker, and at last ceased.
His beard and nails had grown to an immoderate length, and he swayed himself from right to left with that continual oscillation which is characteristic of captive animals.
I sent out from the battery of our transmitter the longest wave of magnetic oscillation I could emit.
His mind oscillated, undoubtedly; but the extreme points of the oscillation were not very remote.
Defn: A rapid involuntary oscillation of the eyeballs.
Defn: A transformer without iron, for high frequency alternating or oscillating currents; an oscillation transformer.
One that vibrates, or causes vibration or oscillation of any kind; specif.
Note: The time of oscillation of a pendulum is independent of the arc of vibration, provided this arc be small.
I found myself plunging and lurching for a footing as the oscillation continued, and so were the king and Christopher.
As before, the quiver rose through oscillation to a heavy swaying, more violent than ever, and ended in a tumult of jerks, which sent us sliding and scrambling as we fought the portable things that were hurled about the room.
