Unlike a traditional stationary bike, air bikes are operated by both : foot pedals[;] handles that you push forward and pull back with your arms and shoulders[. ] Because of this two-prong motion, they require more core involvement to maintain balance when seated. Using an air bike over other stationary bikes can improve your posture and balance. The variable nature of the fan resistance makes for immediate and responsive changes based on how hard you’re working at any given time. 1, record 2, English, - air%20bike

A propeller the blades of which have been rotated so that the leading and trailing edges are nearly parallel with the aircraft flight path to stop or minimize drag and engine rotation. 2, record 5, English, - feathered%20propeller
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The term "feathering" refers to the operation of rotating the blades of a propeller to an edge-to-the-wing position for the purpose of stopping the rotation of the propeller whose blades are thus feathered and to reduce drag. Therefore, a feathered blade is in an approximate in-line-of-flight position, streamlined with the line of flight. Some, but not all, propellers can be feathered. Feathering is necessary when an engine fails or when it is desirable to shut off an engine in flight. The pressure of the air on the face and back of the feathered blade is equal, and the propeller will stop rotating. If it is not feathered when its engine stops driving it, the propeller will "windmill" and cause drag. Another advantage of being able to feather a propeller is that a feathered propeller creates less resistance(drag) and disturbance to the flow of air over the wings and tail of the airplane. 3, record 5, English, - feathered%20propeller

RFID readers, also called interrogators, are used to recognize the presence of nearby RFID tags. An RFID reader transmits RF [radio frequency] energy through one or more antennas. An antenna in a nearby tag picks up the energy, and the tag then converts it into electrical energy via induction. This electrical energy is sufficient to power the semiconductor chip attached to the tag antenna, which stores the tag's identity. The tag then sends the identity back to the reader by raising and lowering the resistance of the antenna in a kind of Morse code. 6, record 8, English, - interrogator

Mercury probes are precision instruments that enable rapid, convenient, and non-destructive measurements of semiconductor samples by probing wafers with mercury to form contacts of well-defined area. The probes may be connected to C-V plotters, curve tracers, or doping profilers for a variety of measurements. Mercury probes eliminate time consuming metallizations and their convenience make them tools for production process monitoring applications. Mercury probes either contact wafers with a single circular mercury dot contact on the front surface and a large area metal disk for low resistance back contact, or they contact semiconductor wafers with concentric dot and ring mercury electrodes as well as a backside contact. 1, record 16, English, - mercury%20probe

The phenomenon which causes solutes to concentrate at the filter's membrane surface forming a gel layer. The thickness of this gel layer will increase until its hydraulic resistance to solvent transport reduces the flux to an equilibrium value such that the convective transport of solutes on the surface equals the back diffusion from the surface. In single-pass operation the concentration of sulutes is low, so concentration polarization does not limit flux. 1, record 17, English, - concentration%20polarization

What I (and I suspect 90% of my fellow-readers) find truly scandalous in the Peter Kormos flap is that, at this time of anemic business activities and emaciated corporate profits - not to mention hospital cutbacks and pension clawbacks - somebody is actually being paid $60,000 per annum out of the public purse to monitor sexism in beer ads. 1, record 18, English, - clawback

This neologism is a compound. It is formed by putting together a word(claw) and a combining form(-back). Compounds are formed of various parts of speech, and often a compound differs in part of speech from its components(for example : claw(verb) + back(adverb)=clawback(noun]. A compound may appear to be quite self-explanatory, but often it holds a specialized meaning. Semantically, a clawback is a cutback taken several steps further. The words resemble each other, but the connotations are quite different : while a "cutback" might meet some public resistance, a "clawback" gives the impression of something virtually torn from the hands of the public and dragged away. "Claw" gives the idea of a vulture, and includes all of its negative implications. It should also be pointed out that "clawbacks" rhymes with "drawbacks", and while the latter is never actually seen, the reader likely makes a psychological connection between the two words, amplifying the effect of the former. 2, record 18, English, - clawback

"Clawback" may be what is often termed a "nonce word" - a new word that is coined specifically for the occasion, a coinage which may soon disappear. Nonce words are formed with existing elements in the language, its standard words, combining forms, and affixes. Nonce words are often playful or fanciful coinages, many are puns, or are humorous. 2, record 18, English, - clawback
