A Moore curve after E. H. Moore is a Geometric continuity continuous fractal space filling curve space filling curve which is a variant of the Hilbert curve . Precisely, it is the curve definitions loop version of the Hilbert curve, and it may be thought as the union of four copies of the Hilbert curves combined in such a way to make the endpoints coincide. Because the Moore curve is plane filling, its Hausdorff dimension is 2. The following figure shows the initial stages of the Moore curve.

In mathematics, an Osgood curve is a Jordan curve of positive area. The first example was found by harvtxt Osgood 1903 . Examples of Osgood curves can be produced by slightly modifying one of the constructions of space filling curve s with image the unit square to make it an embedding, though the cost is that it no longer fills the whole unit square.

In Major League Baseball Major League history, the term knuckle curve has been used to describe three entirely different pitches. The first, more common pitch called the knuckle curve is really a standard curveball , thrown with one or more of the index or mean fingers bent. According to practitioners, this gives them a better grip on the ball and allows for tighter spin and greater movement. In all other respects, this knuckle curve is identical to the standard curveball. This version of the knuckle curve is currently used by Major League pitchers Cliff Lee , Dan Haren , J. P. Howell , Brandon Morrow , Phil Hughes , A.J. Burnett and Jonathan Sanchez . Mike Mussina was well known for his incorporation of the pitch into his repertoire. Justin Verlander formerly threw a knuckle curve but was forced to abandon the pitch due to problems with blisters http www.freep.com apps pbcs.dll article?AID 20060501 SPORTS02 605010394 1050 . The knuckle curve is usually called the spike curve by MLB players and coaches because the pitch is nothing like a knuckleball . The second type of knuckle curve ... spins very little, a knuckle curve spins like a normal curveball because the pitcher s index and middle fingers push the top of the ball into a downward curve at the moment of release. Since only two fingers produce the spin, however, a knuckle curve does not spin as fast as a curveball, meaning the break is less sharp and predictable. Because the knuckle curve can be thrown with the same general motion as a fastball , it is more deceptive than a normal curveball. This kind of knuckle curve is rare ... practitioners of this type of knuckle curve are Burt Hooton Burt Happy Hooton , who pitched for the Chicago ... Mets reliever Jason Isringhausen . The third type of knuckle curve was thrown by Dave Stenhouse in the 1960s. Stenhouse s knuckle curve was thrown like a fastball but with a knuckleball grip. Stenhouse ...

Refimprove date April 2007 In Anatomy , the Curve of Spee called also von Spee s curve or Spee s curvature is defined as the curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane beginning at the tip of the lower cuspid and following the buccal cusp dentistry cusp s of the posterior teeth , continuing to the terminal Molar tooth molar . According to another definition Curve of Spee is an anatomic curvature of the occlusal alignment of teeth, beginning at the tip of the lower canine, following the buccal cusps of the natural premolars and molars, and continuing to the anterior border of the ramus. Ferdinand Graf von Spee, German embryologist, 1855 1937 was first to describe anatomic relations of human teeth in the sagittal plane. The pull of the main muscle of mastication, the masseter , is at a perpendicular angle with the curve of Spee to adapt for favorable loading of force on the teeth. The Curve of Spee is, essentially, a series of slipped contact points. It is of importance to orthodontists as it may contribute to an increased overbite. Larry Andrews, in his important paper Six Keys to Normal Occlusion 1972 , stated that a flat or mild curve of Spee was essential to an ideal occlusion. The curve of Spee should not be confused with the curve of Wilson, which is the upward i.e. U shaped curvature of the maxillary and mandibular occlusal planes in the coronal plane.
