LOCUS

 It is a path traced out by a point moving in a plane, in a particular manner, for one cycle of operation.


The Cycloid

 The cycloid is the locus of a point on the circumference of a circle as the circle rolls, without slipping, along a straight line.


The Involute

 There are several definitions for the involute, none being particularly easy to follow.
An involute is the locus of a point, initially on a base circle, which moves so that its straight-line distance, along a tangent to the circle, to the tangential point of contact, is equal to the distance along the arc of the circle from the initial point to the instant point of tangency.
Alternatively, the involute is the locus of a point on a straight line when the straight line rolls round the circumference of a circle without slipping.
The involute is best visualised as the path traced out by the end of a piece of cotton when the cotton is unrolled from its reel.

Although this set isn't identical for all objects, some properties (such as those listed in the table below) are common to most controls. You can see every design-time property for a given control by looking at the Properties window in the IDE (some controls have properties that are available only at run-time – such as the SelectionStart and SelectionLength properties of the Textbox). Common Events of Visual Basic .NET Controls Events are what happen in and around your program. For example, when a user clicks a button, many events occur: The mouse button is pressed, the CommandButton in your program is clicked, and then the mouse button is released. These three things correspond to the MouseDown event, the Click event, and the MouseUp event. During this process, the Focus event for the CommandButton and the Leave event for whicheve...
