What's the difference between cursor and overtype?
Cursor
Definition:
(n.) Any part of a mathematical instrument that moves or slides backward and forward upon another part.
Example Sentences:
(1) The bright lines in the difference image represent the paths along which the filaments have moved and are measured using a crosshair cursor controlled by the mouse.
(2) The device consists of a motor-driven shaft which moves the record past a fixed cursor, and an electronic counter which records the movements of the shaft, thereby providing a cumulative tally of the distance of the current position of the cursor from some arbitrary origin on the record.
(3) By simply adjusting a linear cursor, which is parallel to the base line, to the highest and the lowest levels of the lesion, the sagittal image with the lesion clearly depicted is automatically reconstructed.
(4) The cursor was then blanked, with subjects being required to place the now invisible cursor over a target.
(5) Mu rhythm amplitude was assessed by on-line frequency analysis and translated into cursor movement: larger amplitudes moved the cursor up and smaller amplitudes moved it down.
(6) Tracking efficiency was far below that observed for upper articulator control of the cursor.
(7) In the parasternal four-chamber view, the cursor was set so as to cross obliquely the right ventricular inflow tract just below the tricuspid valve and the left atrium, just above the mitral valve.
(8) They were asked to exert forces continuously to draw lemniscates (figure eights) in specified or self-chosen planes and in the presence or absence of a three-dimensional visual feedback cursor and a visual template.
(9) The instantaneous force exerted by the subjects on the manipulandum was shown on the disk in the form of a feedback cursor.
(10) The animals were required to move a cursor from the start box to one of four target boxes by movement of the manipulandum.
(11) Control of fine angular movements of the head and of the distal phalanx of the right thumb were compared by measuring subjects' accuracy in guiding a cursor through a path on a computer screen by turning the head or moving the thumb.
(12) The glottal waveforms measured by sonic-sensing pen tracing, cursor outlining, a photocell technique, and television camera scanning are presented and compared with the conventional polar planimeter method.
(13) The Doppler cursor can be correctly aligned in the jet core and allows accurate measures, and the display of spectral analysis is better with faster computers.
(14) Alternative explanations for the right hand tracking results, and for the nonsignificant trend towards a laterality effect (cursor left field-right hemisphere) for left hand tracking, were discussed.
(15) Monkeys aligned a cursor bar with high-contrast square-wave gratings presented in a variety of orientations.
(16) This study examined a visual analog of the PAT in which subjects matched the vertical position of a continually moving horizontal line (target) presented on one side of their point of fixation, with a second line (cursor) presented on the other side of their fixation point.
(17) Refinements in training procedures and in the distribution-based method used to translate mu rhythm amplitudes into cursor movements should further improve this 1-dimensional control.
(18) Vesicle aggregation (a necessary pre-cursor to membrane fusion) and subsequent membrane destabilization (an essential component of fusion) were examined by freeze-fracture electron microscopy.
(19) Morphometry was done on visually normal, polygonal intermediate cells without signs of human papilloma virus infection, with a graphic tablet and cursor under 40x oil immersion, and data were handled by microcomputer.
(20) We have performed comparative studies of the QWERTY keybord, cursor control keys, mouse and graphics tablet for data entry in two intensive therapy unit (ITU) environments.
Overtype
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The DFS report said the directive read: "Ensure that if the field 52 of the payment is blank or displayes [sic] any Swift code that it is overtyped at the repair stage to a '.'
