#technical jargon

• Structural tuning — The hypothetical or experimental act of introducing linking, alignment, or structural finishing elements into a technical or linguistic system; a process of transformation or phonetic adaptation. As a rare term or specialized jargon, it describes an act of fine-tuning components to achieve optimal internal coherence within an assembly.
• Anvil — A neologism of Anglo-Saxon origin used in medical and technical jargon to designate the anvil; in anatomy it represents the small bone in the middle ear (incus) involved in transmitting sound vibrations; in meteorology it describes the flat and extended shape of the upper part of a Cumulonimbus cloud (anvil cloud).
• Flatten — To make flat, flatten, squeeze, or level a three-dimensional structure through external force or mechanical processing; as a reflexive verb, it represents the action of losing its natural relief, roundness, or curvature, becoming perfectly plane. In digital design and software, it refers to the process of merging multiple independent compositional layers into a single final two-dimensional image.
• Docking operation — The technical operation and its result of securing or docking alongside; the entirety of maneuvers and structural systems used for guiding, catching, and immobilizing a light vessel or an aircraft onto a base ship.
• Astiuz — An extremely rare term, used historically or within restricted communities as a professional jargon or local regionalism to describe a rudimentary fixing device, a special wooden peg, or an adjustment wedge used in traditional crafts (carpentry, milling). It represents a small structural piece that serves to calibrate or lock a simple mechanism to prevent component play.
