Encoders are sensors that generate digital signals in response to movement. Both shaft encoders, which respond to rotation, and linear encoders, which respond to motion in a line.

Think of in an engine - the piston moving up and down is linear motion, and the crankshaft turns it into rotary motion.

What is the biomechanical principle that creates linear and rotary motion?
work both independently and in connection with each other
Difference between linear IC and Digital IC?
In linear IC'S the output voltage is very according to input voltage In digital IC's the output voltage is either high or low
Mechanism to transfer linear to rotary motion?
"Think of a simple single cylinder engine....crankshaft goes round & round,piston goes up & down,connecting rod keeps the two tied together...wa la!" This type of linear motion is known as reciprocating motion, where the linear motion is a repetitive up and down, or back and forth action. The linear motion velocity of a wheel and crank system is not uniform and conforms to a sinusodial curve, i.e. it is slowest at the 0º and 180º positions and fastest at the 90º position. To get uniform linear motion from uniform rotary motion, you can use a threaded shaft and thread follower arrangement, or a rack and pinion. btw, it's "voila!".
What are hydraulics?
hydraulics is the use of an incompressible fluid to perform work by displacing areas, which will create either linear or rotary movement of actuators.
W difference between a linear linked list and a circular linked list?
I would say that there is no such thing as a circular queue. The point of a circular data structure is to allow the end to loop around to the beginning. Since you can only remove items from the beginning of a queue or add them to the front, having these two items linked has no purpose nor benefit.

What is the difference between inch and linear inch?
None. A linear inch IS an inch.
Difference between linear consumption function and non linear consumption function?
I have no idea. However, in theory there is a difference.
What is linear transformer?
The Linear Variable Differential Transformer is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement. A counterpart to this device that is used for measuring rotary displacement is called a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer.
What is the difference between linear and non linear problems?
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
Difference between rectilinear and linear motion?
