• Bow drill — A traditional rudimentary tool or archaic mechanical device consisting of a small wooden bow with a cord, used to impart a rapid alternating rotational movement to a drill, a manual lathe, or a spindle. In a historical sense, the term describes the essential instrument used by craftsmen, jewelers, or tanners to pierce hard materials or to ignite fire through friction.
• Tannery — A specialized workshop, primitive tannery, or designated place where tanning is practiced, meaning the chemical and mechanical processing of raw animal hides to transform them into durable and flexible leather. In a structural and historical sense, the term denotes both the traditional craft of tanning and the rudimentary facilities (soaking vats, scraping tools) used by craftsmen to treat organic materials with tannin-rich astringent substances.
• Archival technology — A technical and applied branch of archival science dealing with the study, development, and implementation of practical methods for the physical preservation, restoration, and protection of archival documents. It includes repository microclimate management (temperature, humidity, and light control), biological pest control techniques, industrial bookbinding processes, as well as the use of modern digitization and microfilming technologies to salvage fragile mediums.
• ARM — A polysemantic technical term: in English it means arm (used in robotics or mechanics for articulated components); in computer science, it represents a famous microprocessor architecture (Advanced RISC Machine) based on a reduced instruction set, structurally optimized for minimal power consumption and exceptional thermal efficiency, used in the vast majority of modern smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices.
• Aromatization — The act of flavoring or aromatizing and its result; a technological, industrial, or culinary operation where flavoring substances are introduced into a product. In petroleum chemistry, it denotes the conversion of aliphatic hydrocarbons into cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
• Artificial light in the office can strain the eyes after a few hours of work. — Made, produced, or manufactured by humans through craftsmanship, technique, or industrial processes, not being generated spontaneously by nature; which imitates a natural product or phenomenon. In a broad sense, the term designates something that lacks spontaneity, is feigned, forced, or conventional. In computer science, it is used in fundamental phrases such as artificial intelligence, designating technological systems capable of simulating human cognitive functions. In biology and medicine, it refers to substitution elements or environments created in the laboratory, such as artificial limbs or artificial insemination.
• Asdic — An acoustic underwater detection apparatus used on naval vessels for the structural localization of submarines, wrecks, or other submerged objects, based on the emission and reception of ultrasonic waves; a precursor system to modern sonar. It also represents a historical acronym derived from the British research committee that developed it during World War I.
• Moon-landable — Capable of undergoing a moon-landing process; a term used to describe a spacecraft structurally designed to withstand impact with the lunar ground or a topographic region that allows the safe execution of a descent maneuver.
• Aspectomat — An automated technical apparatus or device used in the past for the successive projection of slides, filmstrips, or static images onto a screen, often equipped with a timed frame-changing system and remote control, utilized for educational, advertising, or exhibition purposes.
• Sprinkler — A technical device or hydraulic apparatus connected to a water supply network, used for irrigating agricultural lands, gardens, or green spaces by spraying liquid in the form of fine droplets, simulating natural rain; it is also used as a central element in automatic fire suppression systems (sprinklers) installed in buildings.
• Roof sheathing process — The act of installing roof sheathing and its result; the technical operation of mounting boards or panels onto roof rafters to create a continuous flat surface; the actual execution of the roof boarding within carpentry works.
• Sheathed — Having undergone the process of roof sheathing; a roof, framework, or rafter system onto which a continuous layer of wooden boards or panels (sarking) has been mounted to serve as a rigid support for the protective covering; in a technical sense, it describes a structure ready for waterproofing application.
• Astronautic — Belonging to astronautics, relating to astronautics; referring to the techniques, technologies, vehicles, or physical laws involved in the navigation and flight of manned or automated craft outside the Earth's atmosphere. The term defines structural engineering elements, propulsion systems, orbital trajectories, or research missions conducted in deep outer space.
• Astronautical engineer — A highly qualified technician, engineer, or specialist in the field of astronautics, responsible for the direct application of astrodynamics laws, the design of propulsion systems, or the structural maintenance of spacecraft and orbital stations. Unlike an astronaut, they do not travel into outer space, but instead coordinate the mathematical, engineering, and logistical aspects of extra-atmospheric flight from the ground.
• Astronautical engineer — A woman who works as an astronautician; a female specialist, engineer, or technician in astronautics who deals with the design, testing, and ground tracking of spacecraft hardware and software systems. Her role includes calibrating satellite orbital parameters and managing telemetry networks, representing an essential presence in the technical teams behind interplanetary missions.
• Atomizing — Causing, performing, or facilitating the process of atomization; a substance, gaseous medium, or technical device used to pulverize a liquid into microscopic fine droplets. In industrial combustion or spray-painting technology, the term describes the jet of compressed air or steam that breaks the fluid film into a fine vapor suspension.
• Atomoelectric — Pertaining to the production of electrical energy through the use of nuclear energy released during the fission of atoms; based on nuclear power plants. The term describes industrial infrastructures, equipment, or grids designed to transform heat generated by atomic reactors into high-power electric current.
• Omnipresent — Present everywhere at the same time; omnipresent, all-pervading in space. In theological dogma, it constitutes a fundamental divine attribute defining God's capacity to transcend spatial boundaries; in common language, it applies hyperbolically to phenomena appearing everywhere at once.
• Audio — Relating to sound, or to the reproduction, recording, or transmission of acoustic signals; belonging to the sound frequencies perceptible by the human ear. As a combining form (prefix), it serves to form numerous technological and media terms, designating components or digital formats focused on sound.
• Audiovisual — Relating simultaneously to the recording, transmission, reproduction, or processing of sound (audio) and image (video) signals; audiovisual. As a noun, it describes the equipment, digital format, or multimedia system integrating both components to provide a complete sensory experience.
