Record 5 2019-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
CONT

Processing of MRI data is usually performed in an array processor using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. These computational requirements generally require the input data to be in a matrix whose dimensions are a power of 2, such as 128x128, 256x256, or 512x512. If the acquired k-space data does not complete this matrix, it is customary to fill in the missing cells with zeroes, a technique called zero padding, zero filling, or zero-interpolation filling (ZIP).

Record 6 2010-08-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewing Notions
  • Clothing (General)
DEF

A device used to fasten and unfasten two adjoining edges of material, as on the packet of a dress, the fly of a pair of trousers, etc.: it consists of two rows of interlocking tabs which are joined or separated by sliding a part up or down.

CONT

The zip fastener was invented in Chicano in 1893 by Whitcomb Judson and in it early stage was more a hook-and-eye shoe fastener. Zip-fasteners did not come into general until the 1930s, when the zipper beat the button fly in the 1937, following the discovery that zippers made it easier for children to dress themselves. During that period they had campaigns praised zippers for promoting self-reliance in young. The first commercial production of zip-fasteners was when Whitcomb Judson started together with businessman Colonel Lewis Walker, the Universal Fastener Company to manufacture the new device.

OBS

The zippers date back to the 1890s when this new invention was called a slide fastener. The name zipper wasn't coined until the 1920s when this closure became more widely used in everyday sportswear.

OBS

Such was the fate of trade-marks such as "Zipper," "Escalator," "Cellophane," and "Dry Ice." Who remembers that the correct terms are "slide fastener" and "moving staircase"? This is why some companies are very vigilant about policing their marks, and preventing improper use of their trade-marks in any kind of communication.
