The Evolution of the Ball Company
No full textThe last brother, George, died in 1955, having participated in the company’s evolution from glass jars to the threshold of the space age. In World War II the company made battery shells for our armed forces. In 1952 the company expanded to the field of plastics. Ball Corporation now produces metal packaging and aerospace and other technologies and services. It employs more than 14,500 people in more than 90 locations worldwide.Use of this image is restricted to projects related to Destination Indiana.

Concentration of the distance between points in the unit ball
No full textWe prove that in every finite dimensional normed space, for “most” pairs (x, y) of points in the unit ball, ║x − y║ is more than √2(1 − ε). As a consequence, we obtain a result proved by Bourgain, using QS-decomposition, that guarantees an exponentially large number of points in the unit ball any two of which are separated by more than √2(1 − ε)
Paradigm lecture series: Rob Ball
No full textThe Photography program presents a talk by British photographer Rob Ball as part of its Paradigm Lecture Series.
Rob Ball is interested in materiality, temporality and process. Working predominantly with tintype, Ball constructs darkrooms in-situ, ensuring photographic plates are both created and developed in the location depicted. Ball’s current practice centers on the physical nature of making a tintype image and the experience this creates for the artist, sitter and viewer. Working often as an itinerant, Ball engages with the history of the medium and its repeated obsolescence to generate new creative engagement and thinking
A Study of Diagnostic Signatures of a Deep Groove Ball Bearing Based on a Nonlinear Dynamic Mode
No full textFor accurate fault detection and diagnosis, this paper focuses on the study of bearing vibration responses under increasing radial clearances due to investable wear and different bearing grades. A nonlinear dynamic model incorporating with local defects and clearance increments is developed for a deep groove ball bearing. The model treats the inner race-shaft and outer race-housing as two lumped masses which are coupled by a nonlinear spring formalized by the Hertzian contact deformation between the balls and races. The solution of the nonlinear equation is obtained by a Runge-Kutta method in Matlab. The results show that the vibrations at fault characteristic frequencies exhibit significant changes with increasing clearances. However, an increased vibration is found for the outer race fault whereas a decreased vibration is found for inner race fault. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account these changes in determining the size of faults

Ball was a very close friend and colleague of Nouwen between the years of 1986 and 1996. He was the Director of L'Arche Daybreak while Nouwen was pastor. He was the Executive Director of L'Arche Canada foundation as well as board member for the Henri Nouwen Society. In 1996, upon Nouwen's death, Ball was named as an executor of Nouwen's estate and has sat as a member of the Legacy Trust since that time.
Ball reflects on how he met Nouwen as well as the deep spiritual friendship that evolved between them at L'Arche Trosly-Breuil. He recounts how this friendship broke down and offers some reasons why it did. Ball provides detailed descriptions of Nouwen as a priest, friend, and liturgical leader as well as of Nouwen's influence on the community at L'Arche Daybreak. Ball recounts the dynamics of their friendship, as well as the dynamic of the Daybreak community, including members such as Sue Mosteller, Joe Vostermans, Joe and Mary Egan and C M
Generating ball trajectory in soccer video sequences
No full textThis paper demonstrates innovative techniques for estimating the trajectory of a soccer ball, using fixed cameras with constant calibration parameters. In contrast with broadcast coverage, for fixed camera data, the ball is often rendered with poor resolution away from the image centre. The rapidly moving ball is subject to motion-blur, caused by finite shutter speeds and interlaced fields, resulting in variable shape, size and colour. The velocity estimated from Kalman tracking is used in both normalising ball size and filtering the ball from false alarms. Furthermore, occlusion-reasoning and tracking-back methods are utilized to estimate its position when it is occluded, and also to remove false alarms. Finally, temporal hysteresis based thresholding of the ball likelihood is applied for trajectory filtering to improve the robustness and continuity of the tracked ball. Promising experimental results from several long sequences are reported
