| Abstract | The Wide-Field Multi Object Spectrometer (WFMOS) along with corrective optics will mount in place of the Secondary Mirror of the Subaru telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii to allow simultaneous observations of cosmologic targets. It will conduct large scale Galactic Archeology and Dark Energy surveys to help unlock the secrets of the universe. The key enabler of the observations is an array of 2400 Cobra optic fiber positioners made from very small rotary motors which were developed for this purpose. Cobra is a two degree of freedom mechanism that can position an optical fiber in the prime focus of the telescope to a precision of 5 μm. It is a theta-phi style positioner containing two rotary piezo tube motors with one offset from the other, which enables the optic fiber to be placed anywhere in a small circular patrol region. The patrol diameter of the actuator is large enough to obtain 100% sky coverage of the close packed hex array pattern of positioners. The name Cobra was chosen because the positioner resembles a snake ready to strike. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
