Actuation


Definition:

  • (n.) A bringing into action; movement.

  • (17) Increasing baffle size resulted in increased retention in the actuator.
  • (18) This controller design is based on the physical models of the actuator and blood pump system.
  • (19) The properties of the afferent fibres from the capsule of the hip joint have been studied in the cat in situ, in relations to joint rotation, and in an isolated capsule preparation which was opened and stretched directly with an actuator.
  • (20) The efficacy and safety of cromolyn sodium by metered-dose inhaler (MDI) (1 mg per actuation) was evaluated with a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-study design.

Propulsion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act driving forward or away; the act or process of propelling; as, steam propulsion.
  • (n.) An impelling act or movement.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) In conclusion, the use of metoclopramide in the postoperative period did not result in a quicker return of propulsive motility in the right or left colon as judged by the radio-opaque markers and serial abdominal radiographs.
  • (5) On the contrary 6-hydroxydopamine in itself seemed to retard gastrointestinal propulsion.
  • (6) The bacterial flagellum is a complex multicomponent structure which serves as the propulsive organelle for many species of bacteria.
  • (7) However, this graft may cause dysphagia by discoordination of contractions, retrograde propulsion of a bolus, or a sustained local contraction, demonstrating the clinical problems associated with free jejunal graft reconstruction of the cervical esophagus.
  • (8) Increases in efferent firing were noted during the occurrence of spontaneous propulsive activity (tonic pressure waves) or segmental contractions (slow rhythmic pressure waves).
  • (9) During lateral walking, movements of the M-C joint provide most of the propulsive force, whereas during forward and backward walking this joint function more as a strut (fig.
