‘The fact that the loading axis was parallel to the axis of the anchors may result in underestimating the effects of suture-anchor interaction at the eyelet.’.

‘Such side entry eliminates complicating reflections from the other parallel surface of the substrate.’.‘In geometry like this, all lines intersect at infinity but in usual geometry parallel lines do not meet.’.‘In atom lithography, a stream of atoms is focused onto a surface by laser light that runs parallel to the surface.’.‘Part of the alleyway, which runs parallel to the north side of Manchester Road, remained sealed off.’.‘Fermat also investigated maxima and minima by considering when the tangent to the curve was parallel to the x-axis.’.‘Von Laue showed that x rays are diffracted in specific directions determined by the distances of separation between the parallel planes of molecules in crystals.’.

‘The lateral surface area of a spherical slice cut by two parallel planes is equal to the lateral surface area of the corresponding slice of the circumscribing cylinder.’.

‘Euclid wished to discover whether there existed a simple geometrical proportionality between the apparent size of equal and parallel lines and their distances from the eye.’.
