Actuator


Definition:

  • (n.) One who actuates, or puts into action.

Example Sentences:

  • (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.

Device


Definition:

  • (n.) That which is devised, or formed by design; a contrivance; an invention; a project; a scheme; often, a scheme to deceive; a stratagem; an artifice.
