What's the difference between altimeter and antimeter?
Altimeter
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for taking altitudes, as a quadrant, sextant, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) The pilots had full aircraft control but were without use of altimeters.
(2) The new probe was built using improved electronics and batteries, and an extra radar altimeter, a device that will fire microwaves at the Arctic and Antarctic ice to reveal its thickness.
(3) Altitude was simulated by a system of gate valves and a vacuum pump, and measured by an altimeter.
(4) The next generation of smartwatches will employ additional technology including the accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, compass, heart-rate monitor, altimeter and an ambient light sensor, to name a few.
(5) The Nabu tracks your motions like most fitness bands with an accelerometer and altimeter, but has two small OLED screens, one for notification icons and one scrolling text screen for messages, emails and other text notifications.
(6) CryoSat-2’s radar altimeter transmitted 7.5m measurements of Greenland and 61m of Antarctica during 2012, enabling glaciologists to work with a set of consistent measurements from a single instrument.
(7) The upgrade to the existing fitness tracking SmartBand monitors activity, steps and sleep using, like myriad other fitness bands, an accelerometer – but also has an altimeter for tracking stair climbs and hikes.
Antimeter
Definition:
(n.) A modification of the quadrant, for measuring small angles.
Example Sentences:
(1) Our results suggest that antimetics of this type are unlikely to be transplacental carcinogens.
(2) Gastrointestinal toxicity was limited to mild to moderate nausea and vomiting; these were observed at all dose levels and required antimetics in only two patients.
(3) The need for antimetic was highest in women undergoing laparoscopy during the luteal phase (69%) and this was different from the follicular (18%, P less than 0.01) and pre + menstrum (19%, P less than 0.01) phases.
(4) The (+) enantiomer of the synthetic cannabinoid, 7-hydroxy-delta-6-tetrahydrocannabinol, dimethylheptyl homolog (HU-211), possesses significant antimetic efficacy in the pigeon.
(5) Inhibition of emesis or a considerable prolongation of latency is the sign of an antimetic action.
(6) The following method is thus proposed for application in evaluating an antimetic for oral copper sulfate.
