  • (20) The laser pulses were synchronized with the piezoelectric pusher movement so that alternate laser pulses measured the atomic fluorescence signal at the analytical atomic spectral line (on-line) and the background signal at a wavelength displaced to one side of the atomic line (off-line).

Thruster


Definition:

  • (n.) One who thrusts or stabs.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Results indicated that both groups of tongue thrusters with and without interdental lisp scored significantly more poorly than did normal children (t = 4.68, P less than .001; t = 5.00, P less than .001), respectively.

  • (9) As the rocket descends, SpaceX will relight the engines three times for a propulsive landing with thrusters: once to adjust the point of impact, again to slow the rocket to 250 meters per second, and finally for the landing burn, during which the rocket’s legs will deploy and the rocket will slow to about two meters per second.
  • (10) The headlong miniaturisation of microelectronics means that it might be possible to pack the entire control system, the sensors, camera, navigation equipment, photon thrusters, transmitter and power supply onto a tiny silicon wafer, and mount it on an ultra-thin sail weighing only grams, that would respond to the pressure of light.
  • (11) For example, additional thrusters can be strapped on to the rocket to launch heavy payloads of around 7.5 tonnes into orbit.
