Removing pitons: To remove pitons, hit them back and forth until loose and then pluck out. If possible, aim the blow at the heftiest part of the neck of the piton, or at least at the top of the eye. ... Develop the art of piton removal so that hundreds of pitons can be removed and none dropped.

CONT

[An] axe ... designed specifically for cutting brush and small trees.

OBS

The handle is 20" long and the head is lightweight(it really feels as if you’re swinging just an axe handle), so it's easier to swing and less awkward than a typical axe.

OBS

The 7" replaceable blade has 5-1/2" exposed for cutting. It cuts faster with less fatigue than an ordinary axe because it weighs only about 2 lb, including the handle, and because its balance makes it ideal to use one handed while holding brush aside.

OBS

The clearing axe originates from Sweden.

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

Action of hitting the ball and the resulting action. ... A player is deemed to have attempted a stroke if he faces up to the ball with his racket, attempts to play and misses.

CONT

A shot is the combination of a stroke and the situation in which it is used.

CONT

The technical manner of hitting the tennis ball (forehand, backhand, volley, etc.) and the resulting action combine to constitute a stroke.

CONT

The height and direction of the bound can be affected by the nature of the surface, the amount of spin, the weather conditions and ... the power of the strike.

CONT

Compact backswings and short, smooth strokes are best [if you want to use the new Dunlop Max Enforcer tennis racquet].

CONT

Player and ball are together during the stroke.

OBS

Important nuance: a "stroke" implies early preparation and a complete follow through. If one were to envision a stroke, one would see a series of sequences, ending with a "shot", i.e. the result of all of the above. A "shot" is the result of the "stroke". "Shot" implies a quick, sharp movement because one is focusing on the end result, not the series of sequences leading up to it. One speaks of "classical strokes" rather than "classical shot". A "blow" on the other hand is rather a blunt, general term similar in meaning to "shot". Although many would like to maintain these nuances in English, "shot" and "stroke" can often be used synonymously. "Blow" is used only rarely. Note, however that although there are two possible equivalents ("coup" and "frappe") in French, neither are semantically identical to the English offerings.

  • IT Security
CONT

... when cryptography is used for data communications, key delivery can be awkward, because each and every key must be somehow delivered to the far end(and retained) in absolute secrecy. On the other hand, this requirement also assures that each end gets exactly the same key, something which simple "public key" systems rarely guarantee. So-called "public key"(or "two key, "or "asymmetric") technology can simplify remote key delivery. But, because public-key ciphering is extremly slow, it is only rarely used to encipher data; instead, public-key technology is normally just used to deliver keys for a conventional cipher.

Subject field(s)
  • Papermaking Machines
  • Paper Manufacturing Processes
OBS

Conventional Size Press. Sizing solution is commonly applied within a two-roll nip; hence the term, size press. The traditional size press configurations are categorized as vertical, horizontal, or inclined.... In each case, the objective is to flood the entering nip with sizing solution; the paper absorbs some of the solution and the balance is removed in the nip. The overflow solution is collected in a pan below the press and recirculated back to the nip. The vertical configuration provides the easiest sheet run, but the pond depth of solution in each nip is unequal. The horizontal size press arrangement solves the problem of unequal top-and bottom-side absorption by providing identical pond forms on either side of the sheet. The inclined configuration is a compromise, and was developed to avoid the rather awkward vertical run of the sheet in the horizontal size press.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines à papier
  • Fabrication du papier
CONT

On répartit d'ordinaire les presses encolleuses en trois catégories : les presses verticale, horizontale et inclinée [...] Dans tous les cas, l'objectif est de noyer de colle l'entrée de la pince; le papier absorbe une partie de cette colle et l'excédent tombe dans une bâche sous la presse pour être ensuite réacheminé vers la pince. Dans la presse verticale, le trajet de feuille est simple, mais l'épaisseur de la couche de solution déposée lors du passage dans chaque pince est inégale. Une presse horizontale permet de résoudre le problème de différence d'absorption entre les faces supérieure et inférieure car on peut installer des cuves de forme identique pour les deux faces de la feuille. Les presses inclinées constituent un compromis et elles permettent surtout de réduire l'encombrement de la presse encolleuse horizontale lié au trajet vertical de la feuille.

Subject field(s)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
DEF

A message sent by person whereby a strip tease is performed.

CONT

Horrifically beautiful, it combines the visceral terror of Lynch’s 1986 hit movie, Blue Velvet, with the slow-tease surrealism of his acclaimed television series, Twin Peaks. The result is an amoral work of deadpan exhibitionism, as unnerving as a strip-o-gram valentine.

OBS

This is a neologism by derivation whereby the combining form of telegram ’-gram’ is added to the word strip. Because the word 'strip’ ends with the consonant ’p’ and the word ’gram’ begins with the consonant ’g’, the vowel ’o’ was added in(between hyphens) for phonetic and lexical purposes. If the vowel ’o’ was missing in this neologism, the result would be 'strip-gram’ which sounds awkward to the ear and not as smooth as 'strip-o-gram’.

OBS

In the Random House Dictionary (1987 ed.), -gram is a "combining form extracted from telegram, used in the formation of compound words that have the general sense of ’message’, ’bulletin’." (p. 828) The definition of telegram is "a message or communication sent by telegraph" (Random House Dictionary, p. 1350).

OBS

In the Random House Dictionary, the definition of ’strip-tease’ is a "a burlesque act in which a dancer removes garments one at a time to the accompaniment of music." (p. 1885) In the Oxford English Dictionary (1989 ed., Vol. 16), the definition of ’strip’ is "to unclothe, to denude; to divest (a person, body) of clothing; to undress, make bare or naked". (p. 929).
