English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
DEF

A projection of the azimuth from the origin to the opposite side of the azimuth circle.

CONT

A back azimuth is calculated by adding 180° to the azimuth when the azimuth is less than 180°, or by subtracting 180° from the azimuth if it is more than 180°. For example, if an azimuth is 320°, the back azimuth would be 320° - 180° = 140°. If the azimuth is 30°, the back azimuth would be 180° + 30° = 210°.

Azimut inverso: es lo inverso del azimut, es decir, si el azimut de una línea es menor de 180º, se debe sumar 180º para encontrar el azimut inverso. Si es mayor a 180º se le deben restar 180º.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Forceps with loop blades which are also semicircular in sagittal cross-section. Designed to hold a short length of intestine without compressing it

OBS

These forceps [Babcock intestinal tissue forceps] are more delicate than Allis but less directly traumatic. They have broad, flared ends with smooth tips. These forceps are used to atraumatically hold viscera (bladder and bowel).

OBS

Proper Name : Babcock intestinal forceps.... Features : tip-small half circle(from side) ;"V" shape(from front to back) ;horizontal serrations. Uses : Grasping and holding tissue such as stomach. Used frequently in abdominal procedures; this is the instrument of choice for grasping the appendix and fellopian tubes. Sometimes used to clamp over a vessel to isolate it.

OBS

In medical eponyms, the possessive form, such as "Babcock’s forceps", often disappears over the years. For that reason, the written forms "Babcock forceps", "Babcock tissue forceps", "Babcock intestinal forceps"and "Babcock clamp"are also found. William Wayne Babcock (1872-1963), American surgeon.

  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
CONT

The term "rein of opposition" is sort of an old-fashioned term and is most often used with the term "direct rein," as in "direct rein of opposition." Opposition refers to the forward motion of the horse and whenever you pull back on a rein, you are pulling in opposition to forward movement.

OBS

... the rein is held slightly to the side and drawn to the rear; used to turn the horse to the right or left on a small and sharp circle.

OBS

direct rein: A method of using the rein in which the rider communicates directly to the horse via his mouth. For example, to turn a horse right, the rider increases pressure on the right rein and the horse responds by turning right.

Subject field(s)

DEF

Leather or nylon headgear, with attachments for side reins and lunge line, worn by the horse when it is being lunged.

CONT

A cavesson resembles a heavy, well fitting halter and is the preferred headpiece for longeing (lungeing) English horses. "Breaking" cavessons are generally made of stout leather with heavy metal nosepieces and have straps to fasten them securely and keep them in position because during "breaking" it is often necessary to tug or pull quite hard on the line to control the horse. Lighter, simpler cavessons are also available for the very young horse, the already-trained horse, for use with a bit or bridle, and for use as a dropped noseband.

OBS

The traditional cavesson is made from leather but nylon cavessons are also available. A longeing(lungeing) cavesson has a padded noseband with a jointed metal nosepiece that usually has 3 swivel-mounted rings attached to it. Generally the middle ring is used for longeing(lungeing) unless a horse carries his head to the outside of the circle extremely. In that case, the inside cavesson ring can be used to bend the horse inward on the longeing(lungeing) circle. The side rings are also used for side rein attachment or long line attachment.

CONT

Stubben 1085 Crank Caveson Bridle ... Stubben’s crank caveson comes with a single roller buckle which tightens the chinstrip from both sides, providing equal pressure all around.

The displacement is measured by the drum, and one thus gets a reading.
