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. 3, record 3, English, - accommodation%20distance

Controlled pendulum. The gyro spinning wheel is running at constant speed. The precession drive, which lies in a plane symmetric with respect to the gimbal is controlled to create a precession rate of the spinning wheel. Measurement of the rotation angle around the horizontal axis perpendicular to the symmetry plane of the gimbal is used to perform the precession control. This control aims to keep the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly over the rotation axis. The commanded precession rate is such that the gyroscopic torque counterbalances the gravity torque and the disturbing torques ... 2, record 5, English, - disturbing%20torque
