• Aspermatic — Suffering from aspermatism or lacking semen; relating to the complete absence of secretion or ejaculation of seminal fluid; (in an extended structural sense) containing or producing no male reproductive cells.
• Astatization — A technical process or structural method through which an oscillating system, a measuring instrument (such as a galvanometer or seismograph), or a regulator is brought into a state of astatism; this operation cancels or minimizes the elastic or gravitational restoring force, causing the system to remain in equilibrium regardless of its position or considerably increasing the device's sensitivity to external perturbations.
• Audiometric — Belonging to audiometry, relating to audiometry, or to the acoustic measurement of hearing sensitivity and acuity; performed using an audiometer. The term describes tests, equipment, laboratories, or soundproof booths specially designed to evaluate the minimum threshold of sound perception across various frequencies.
• Auscultating — Serving for auscultation; pertaining to the act or property of listening to the internal sounds of the body. In advanced medical semiology, the term describes an element, instrument, anatomical position, or acoustic phenomenon tightly linked to the diagnostic perception of cardiorespiratory or bowel sounds.
• Auscultation — The act of auscultating and its result; a fundamental clinical examination method consisting of listening to sounds produced inside the human or animal body. Usually performed with a stethoscope, it allows evaluating the functional state of cardiorespiratory and digestive systems. In civil engineering, it denotes structural monitoring.
• Auscultated — Having undergone the process of auscultation; clinically examined by listening to internal body sounds generated by thoracic or abdominal organs. The term describes the status of a patient or anatomical system evaluated using a stethoscope to detect pathological signs.
• Autoemesis — A specialized clinical term designating the voluntary, reflexive, or spontaneous induction of vomiting (emesis) by an individual, without the intervention of external emetic factors or chemical medicinal substances; a symptom or behavior often encountered in digestive dynamics disorders or psychiatric neuro-behavioral conditions.
• To self-troubleshoot — To autonomously or automatically locate, remedy, and repair one's own malfunctions, technical errors, or hardware and software faults, without requiring the manual intervention of an external technician or engineer. In computer science, it describes the ability of an operating system or algorithm to run automated diagnostic and repair modules in the background.
• Self-troubleshooting — The act of self-troubleshooting and its result; an automated software feature, a mechanical self-repair cycle, or a structural process through which a facility or program independently remedies its operational problems. This mechanism considerably reduces downtime and maintenance operational costs.
• Self-troubleshooter — A device, software program, digital tool, or integrated module that holds the structural function to automatically locate, diagnose, and remedy its own malfunctions or those of the system it belongs to, without human intervention. As an adjective, it describes a constructive property or operational capacity for self-repair.
• Self-diagnosis — A diagnosis established by an automated technical system, an electronic device, or a person upon themselves; the process and result of determining an operational or pathological state through autonomous investigation and internal analysis.
• Self-test — A test, analysis, or evaluation that a person administers to themselves, or that a technical or computing system runs automatically to check its status, performance, or operational parameter compliance. In medicine, it denotes rapid home diagnostic devices (such as those for glucose or viral infections), while in IT it represents an autonomous software routine for hardware or code diagnostics.
