Viewing Distance at Computer Workstations.... Accommodation is when the lens capsule in your eye changes shape to focus on a close object. The eyes have a default accommodation distance, called the resting point of accommodation(RPA). That is the distance at which the eyes focus when there is nothing to focus on. In total darkness our eyes are set to focus at a particular distance, so that if the lights were turned on, an object at that distance would be in clear focus. The RPA averages 30 inches for younger people and gets farther away with age. 5, record 2, English, - resting%20point%20of%20accommodation

... reading from a computer screen ... Our eyes have what is called a "dark focus." This is the point in space where your focus would be if your eyes were totally relaxed. Imagine a pitch black room. In such an environment, where you can’t see anything, your eyes are actually focusing on a fixed point in space, that is why it is called the "dark" focus. This focus is known as the Resting Point of Accommodation (RPA) and is unique to every individual, but it usually rests more than three feet away from your face (and does not depend on time of day or age). 6, record 2, English, - resting%20point%20of%20accommodation

Distance écran/spectateur. [...] Si les sièges ou les bancs sont disposés à volonté devant un écran, bien souvent les règles sur l'aire idéale d'observation se trouvent modifiées : spontanément, les spectateurs se disposent en arc de cercle, sensiblement plus en largeur qu'en profondeur. Les moins bien placés acceptent mieux la déformation géométrique qu'une distance d'accommodation non optimale, à condition que l'écran soit peu directif pour ne pas conduire à une perte importante de luminosité. 3, record 3, French, - distance%20d%27accommodation

The structure design is one of the fundamental defining subsystems of the spacecraft, and as such the AMP structure is the baseline structure. This structure presents several challenges to be used on a microsatellite, namely the cost, AIT operations and adaptability to change. Also, the fact that this structure has not flown before, makes it more difficult to predict what are the problems that one might encounter when actually building the spacecraft. On the other hand, this structure allows a generous payload capacity in a low total mass platform. The accommodation study performed, shows that it is possible to fit the mission in the AMP structure... 2, record 8, English, - accommodation%20study
