     Cassinian oval (Geom.), the locus of a point the product of
        whose distances from two fixed points is constant; -- so
        called from Cassini, who first investigated the curve.
        Thus, in the diagram, if P moves so that P A.P B is
        constant, the point P describes a Cassinian oval. The
        locus may consist of a single closed line, as shown by the
        dotted line, or of two equal ovals about the points A and
        B.
