One type of scanner is called a whiskbroom scanner also referred to as across-track scanners. It uses rotating mirrors to scan the landscape below from side to side perpendicular to the direction of the sensor platform, like a whiskbroom. The width of the sweep is referred to as the sensor swath. The rotating mirrors redirect the reflected light to a point where a single or just a few sensor detectors are grouped together. Whiskbroom scanners with their moving mirrors tend to be large and complex to build. The moving mirrors create spatial distortions that must be corrected with preprocessing by the data provider before image data is delivered to the user. An advantage of whiskbroom scanners is that they have fewer sensor detectors to keep calibrated as compared to other types of sensors. 5, record 9, English, - across%2Dtrack%20scanner

Sensors aboard the Landsat satellites were built in a "whisk broom" (across track) configuration. In a whisk broom sensor, a mirror scans across the satellite's path, reflecting light into a single detector which collects data one pixel at a time. The moving parts make this type of sensor expensive and more prone to wearing out. 7, record 11, English, - across%2Dtrack%20scanning

An egg sponge is a lightly aerated mixture produced by whisking air into eggs and sugar till a stiff foam is produced, then lightly blending in the flour, etc. In best quality goods no baking powder is used, the whole of the aeration being mechanically produced by whisking. To speed up the process, pressure whisks are now used in which the mixing takes place in a gas-tight container. Air under pressure is forced into the ingredients whilst they are being whisked, hence the individual air bubbles in the sponge are themselves under pressure. 1, record 14, English, - pressure%20whisk
