Parallax scanning depth enhancing imaging methods rely on discrete parallax differences between depth planes in a scene. The differences are caused by a parallax scan. When properly balanced tuned and displayed, the discrete parallax differences are perceived by the brain as depth. A continuously moving parallax scan records a pattern of sequential parallax views on a single strip of film or video tape. The lens s optical axis sweeps in the plane of the nominal X and Y axes around the nominal optical Z axis, pivoting on the optical convergence point out along the Z axis , so that it passes through positions having parallax in relation to the optical convergence point. The circular scanning of the lens s optical axis traces out a coaxial cone pattern with the convergence point as its apex. Early tests revealed that the brain will translate parallax scanned information into depth information at scanning frequencies of between 3 6 Hz, and that the ideal frequency is 4.31 Hz.

Two surface scans, viz. direct scan and counter one, are obtained during CS. The counter scan starts in the point where the direct scan ends. This point is called the coincidence point CP . With the counter scan, the probe movement along the raster line and the probe movement from one raster line to the other raster line are carried out along the directions that are opposite to the movements in the direct scan.

Duplex scanning is a feature of Image scanner computer scanner s and Multifunction printer multifunction printers MFPs that allows the automatic scanning of a sheet of paper on both sides. Devices without this capability can only scan a single side of a sheet of paper at a time.

Duplex scanning is achieved on computer scanners by either RADF or by single pass duplex scanning using two cameras one for the front side of the document and one for the back side of the document.

In molecular biology , alanine scanning is a technique used to determine the contribution of specific residues to a protein s function by mutating the residues to alanine. Alanine is often used because of its small and mostly inert methyl functional group, though sometimes Valine and Leucine are used when conservation of the size of mutated residues is needed. Scanning refers to the fact that many mutations are sometimes indiscriminately performed along the whole protein. The idea is to determine whether a specific side chain group of a specific residue plays an important role in bioactivity . This is usually performed specifically by site directed mutagenesis or randomly by creating a PCR library. Furthermore, there has also been development of computational methods to calculate thermodynamic parameters based on a theoretical alanine substitutions.

orphan date August 2010 Strain scanning refers to several diffraction based techniques using X rays and neutrons where the crystalline lattice of a material is, in effect, used as a form of strain gauge . The various methods are derived from powder diffraction but look for the small shifts in the diffraction spectrum that indicate a change a lattice parameter instead of trying to derive unknown structural information. By comparing the lattice parameter to a known reference value it is possible to determine the Strain materials science strain . If sufficient measurements are made in different directions it is possible to derive the strain tensor and hence the Stress physics stress tensor. Principles At its most basic level strain scanning uses shifts in Bragg diffraction peaks to determine the strain. Strain is defined as the change in length shift in lattice parameter, d divided by the original length unstrained lattice parameter, d sub 0 sub . In diffraction based strain scanning this becomes the change in peak position divided by the original position. The precise equation is presented in terms of diffraction angle, energy, or for relatively slow moving neutrons time of flight math epsilon frac Delta d d 0 frac Delta theta theta 0 frac Delta E E 0 frac Delta t t 0 , math Methods The details of the technique are heavily influenced by the type of radiation used since lab X rays, synchrotron X rays and neutrons have very different properties. Nevertheless, there is considerable overlap between the various methods. References reflist unreferenced date December 2007 DEFAULTSORT Strain Scanning Category Physics physics stub ... more details

Conical scanning is a system used in early radar units to improve their accuracy, as well as making it easier to steer the Antenna radio antenna properly to point at a target. Conical scanning is similar in concept to the earlier lobe switching concept used on some of the earliest radars, and many examples of lobe switching sets were modified in the field to conical scanning during World War II , notably the German W rzburg radar . With simple electronics, antenna guidance can be made entirely automatic, although potential failure modes and susceptibility to deception jamming led to the replacement of conical scan systems with monopulse radar sets. Concept A basic radar antenna commonly has a beam width of a few degrees. While this is fine for locating the target in the early warning role, it is not nearly accurate enough for gun laying , which demands accuracies on the order of 0.1 degrees. It is possible to improve the beam width through the use of larger antennas, but this is often impractical. In order to monitor the direction of a designated target, it is only necessary to keep the aerial pointing directly at the target. Knowledge of the pointing direction of the aerial then naturally gives knowledge of the target direction. In order to keep a single target tracker staring at the designated target automatically, it is necessary to have a control system that keeps the aerial ... as target motion.
