That's a good point. I wasn't happy with the names at all, and I quite like 
your suggestions.

I think elliptical, sinusoidal and parabolic are OK. It's not totally accurate, 
but the appearance is the same, and the terms are descriptive enough to get an 
idea about the shape. (Btw. S-Shaped with bending = 1.0 is more like tangential 
;-) )
