Actuation


Definition:

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

Example Sentences:

  • (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.

Shifter


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, shifts; one who plays tricks or practices artifice; a cozener.
  • (n.) An assistant to the ship's cook in washing, steeping, and shifting the salt provisions.
  • (n.) An arrangement for shifting a belt sidewise from one pulley to another.

  • (4) In his mid-80s, in his conservatory at home in Essex, he summarised the order of his interests as "travelling, writing and growing lilies"; he travelled before he turned writer, beginning in the relatively incorruptible Spain of the early 1930s, and going on for more than 60 years to observe the ebb and flow of governments, the dissolution of indigenous tribal cultures and the activities of missionaries, bandits, profiteers and political scene-shifters.
  • (5) A pulsed Doppler cardiotocograph module was extended to obtain low frequency Doppler signals, by the addition of a 90 degree phase shifter, analog multipliers, quadrature detector, sample and hold circuits and low pass filters, to produce five simultaneous outputs representing movement at depths separated by 1.5cm intervals.
