The luminous orb, the light of which constitutes day, and its absence night; the central body round which the earth and planets revolve, by which they are held in their orbits, and from which they receive light and heat. Its mean distance from the earth is about 92,500,000 miles, and its diameter about 860,000. Note: Its mean apparent diameter as seen from the earth is 32[b7] 4[sec], and it revolves on its own axis once in 25[frac13] days. Its mean density is about one fourth of that of the earth, or 1.41, that of water being unity. Its luminous surface is called the photosphere, above which is an envelope consisting partly of hydrogen, called the chromosphere, which can be seen only through the spectroscope, or at the time of a total solar eclipse. Above the chromosphere, and sometimes extending out millions of miles, are luminous rays or streams of light which are visible only at the time of a total eclipse, forming the solar corona. 2. Any heavenly body which forms the center of a system of orbs. 3. The direct light or warmth of the sun; sunshine. Lambs that did frisk in the sun. --Shak. 4. That which resembles the sun, as in splendor or importance; any source of light, warmth, or animation. For the Lord God is a sun and shield. --Ps. lxxiv. 11.

It consists of a toothed wheel (called the sun wheel), firmly secured to the shaft it is desired to drive, and another wheel (called the planet wheel) secured to the end of a connecting rod. By the motion of the connecting rod, the planet wheel is made to circulate round the central wheel on the shaft, communicating to this latter a velocity of revolution the double of its own. --G. Francis. {Sun angel} (Zo[94]l.), a South American humming bird of the genus {Heliangelos}, noted for its beautiful colors and the brilliant luster of the feathers of its throat. {Sun animalcute}. (Zo[94]l.) See {Heliozoa}. {Sun bath} (Med.), exposure of a patient to the sun's rays; insolation. {Sun bear} (Zo[94]l.), a species of bear ({Helarctos Malayanus}) native of Southern Asia and Borneo. It has a small head and short neck, and fine short glossy fur, mostly black, but brownish on the nose. It is easily tamed. Called also {bruang}, and {Malayan bear}. {Sun beetle} (Zo[94]l.), any small lustrous beetle of the genus {Amara}. {Sun bittern} (Zo[94]l.), a singular South American bird ({Eurypyga helias}), in some respects related both to the rails and herons. It is beautifully variegated with white, brown, and black. Called also {sunbird}, and {tiger bittern}. {Sun fever} (Med.), the condition of fever produced by sun stroke. {Sun gem} (Zo[94]l.), a Brazilian humming bird ({Heliactin cornutus}). Its head is ornamented by two tufts of bright colored feathers, fiery crimson at the base and greenish yellow at the tip. Called also {Horned hummer}. {Sun grebe} (Zo[94]l.), the finfoot. {Sun picture}, a picture taken by the agency of the sun's rays; a photograph. {Sun spots} (Astron.), dark spots that appear on the sun's disk, consisting commonly of a black central portion with a surrounding border of lighter shade, and usually seen only by the telescope, but sometimes by the naked eye. They are very changeable in their figure and dimensions, and vary in size from mere apparent points to spaces of 50,000 miles in diameter. The term sun spots is often used to include bright spaces (called facul[91]) as well as dark spaces (called macul[91]). Called also {solar spots}. See Illustration in Appendix. {Sun star} (Zo[94]l.), any one of several species of starfishes belonging to {Solaster}, {Crossaster}, and allied genera, having numerous rays. {Sun trout} (Zo[94]l.), the squeteague. {Sun wheel}. (Mach.) See {Sun and planet wheels}, above. {Under the sun}, in the world; on earth. [bd]There is no new thing under the sun.[b8] --Eccl. i. 9. Note: Sun is often used in the formation of compound adjectives of obvious meaning; as, sun-bright, sun-dried, sun-gilt, sunlike, sun-lit, sun-scorched, and the like. | |

Sympathy \Sym"pa*thy\, n.; pl. {Sympathies}. [F. sympathie, L. sympathia, Gr. [?]; sy`n with + [?] suffering, passion, fr. [?], [?], to suffer. See {Syn-}, and {Pathos}.] 1. Feeling corresponding to that which another feels; the quality of being affected by the affection of another, with feelings correspondent in kind, if not in degree; fellow-feeling. They saw, but other sight instead -- a crowd Of ugly serpents! Horror on them fell, And horrid sympathy. --Milton. 2. An agreement of affections or inclinations, or a conformity of natural temperament, which causes persons to be pleased, or in accord, with one another; as, there is perfect sympathy between them. 3. Kindness of feeling toward one who suffers; pity; commiseration; compassion. I value myself upon sympathy, I hate and despise myself for envy. --Kames. 4. (Physiol.) (a) The reciprocal influence exercised by the various organs or parts of the body on one another, as manifested in the transmission of a disease by unknown means from one organ to another quite remote, or in the influence exerted by a diseased condition of one part on another part or organ, as in the vomiting produced by a tumor of the brain. (b) That relation which exists between different persons by which one of them produces in the others a state or condition like that of himself. This is shown in the tendency to yawn which a person often feels on seeing another yawn, or the strong inclination to become hysteric experienced by many women on seeing another person suffering with hysteria. 5. A tendency of inanimate things to unite, or to act on each other; as, the sympathy between the loadstone and iron. [R.] 6. Similarity of function, use office, or the like.

Sympathy is literally a fellow-feeling with others in their varied conditions of joy or of grief. This term, however, is now more commonly applied to a fellow-feeling with others under affliction, and then coincides very nearly with commiseration. In this case it is commonly followed by for; as, to feel sympathy for a friend when we see him distressed. The verb sympathize is followed by with; as, to sympathize with a friend in his distresses or enjoyments. [bd]Every man would be a distinct species to himself, were there no sympathy among individuals.[b8] --South. See {Pity}. Fault, Acknowledged and deplored, in Adam wrought Commiseration. --Milton. | |

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
scan path (circuit design) A technique used to increase the controllability and observability of a {logic circuit} by incorporating "{scan register}s" into the circuit. Normally these act like {flip-flop}s but they can be switched into a "test" mode where they all become one long {shift register}. This allows data to be clocked serially through all the scan registers and out of an output pin at the same time as new data is clocked in from an input pin. Using this technique, the state of certain points in the circuit can be examined and modified at any time by suspending normal operation and switching to test mode. If the scan path is placed adjacent to the circuit's input and output pins then this is known as "{boundary scan}". (1995-02-14) | |
