Boiler \Boil"er\, n. 1. One who boils. 2. A vessel in which any thing is boiled. Note: The word boiler is a generic term covering a great variety of kettles, saucepans, clothes boilers, evaporators, coppers, retorts, etc. 3. (Mech.) A strong metallic vessel, usually of wrought iron plates riveted together, or a composite structure variously formed, in which steam is generated for driving engines, or for heating, cooking, or other purposes. Note: The earliest steam boilers were usually spheres or sections of spheres, heated wholly from the outside. Watt used the wagon boiler (shaped like the top of a covered wagon) which is still used with low pressures. Most of the boilers in present use may be classified as plain cylinder boilers, flue boilers, sectional and tubular boilers. {Barrel of a boiler}, the cylindrical part containing the flues. {Boiler plate}, {Boiler iron}, plate or rolled iron of about a quarter to a half inch in thickness, used for making boilers and tanks, for covering ships, etc. {Cylinder boiler}, one which consists of a single iron cylinder. {Flue boilers} are usually single shells containing a small number of large flues, through which the heat either passes from the fire or returns to the chimney, and sometimes containing a fire box inclosed by water. {Locomotive boiler}, a boiler which contains an inclosed fire box and a large number of small flues leading to the chimney. {Multiflue boiler}. Same as {Tubular boiler}, below. {Sectional boiler}, a boiler composed of a number of sections, which are usually of small capacity and similar to, and connected with, each other. By multiplication of the sections a boiler of any desired capacity can be built up. {Tubular boiler}, a boiler containing tubes which form flues, and are surrounded by the water contained in the boiler. See Illust. {of Steam boiler}, under {Steam}. {Tubulous boiler}. See under {Tubulous}. See {Tube}, n., 6, and 1st {Flue}. | |

look and feel {user interface}. The term is most often applied to {graphical user interface}s (GUI) but might also be used by extension for a textual command language used to control a program. Look and feel includes such things as the {icon}s used to represent certain functions such as opening and closing files, directories and {application program}s and changing the size and position of windows; conventions for the meaning of different buttons on a {mouse} and keys on the keyboard; and the appearance and operation of menus. A {user interface} with a consistent look and feel is considered by many to be an important factor in the ease of use of a computer system. The success of the {Macintosh user interface} was partly due to its consistency. Because of the perceived importance of look and feel, there have been several legal actions claiming breech of {copyright} on the look and feel of user interfaces, most notably by {Apple Computer} against {Microsoft} and {Hewlett-Packard} (which Apple lost) and, later, by {Xerox} against {Apple Computer}. Such legal action attempts to force suppliers to make their interfaces inconsistent with those of other vendors' products. This can only be bad for users and the industry as a whole. (1995-03-03) | |
