               made; but in the English Parliament, it operates to
               postpone consideration for the day, and until the
               subject may be again introduced. In American practice,
               the object of the motion is to hasten action, and it is
               made by a friend of the measure. In English practice,
               the object is to get rid of the subject for the time
               being, and the motion is made with a purpose of voting
               against it. --Cushing.
  
      {To beg the question}. See under {Beg}.
  
      {To the question}, to the point in dispute; to the real

      {Ionic foot}. (Pros.) See {Ionic}, n., 1.
  
      {Ionic}, [or] {Ionian}, {mode} (Mus.), an ancient mode,
            supposed to correspond with the modern major scale of C.
           
  
      {Ionic sect}, a sect of philosophers founded by Thales of
            Miletus, in Ionia. Their distinguishing tenet was, that
            water is the original principle of all things.
  
      {Ionic type}, a kind of heavy-faced type (as that of the
            following line).
  
      Note: This is Nonpareil Ionic.

   injection
  
      1. A {function}, f : A -> B, is injective or
      one-one, or is an injection, if and only if
  
      for all a,b in A, f(a) = f(b) => a = b.
  
      I.e. no two different inputs give the same output (contrast
      many-to-one).   This is sometimes called an embedding.   Only
      injective functions have left inverses f' where f'(f(x)) = x,
      since if f were not an injection, there would be elements of B
      for which the value of f' was not unique.   If an injective
      function is also a {surjection} then is it a {bijection}.
  
      2. An injection function is one which takes
      objects of type T and returns objects of type C(T) where C is
      some {type constructor}.   An example is
  
      f x = (x, 0).
  
      The opposite of an injection function is a {projection}
      function which extracts a component of a constructed object,
      e.g.
  
      fst (x,y) = x.
  
      We say that f injects its argument into the data type and fst
      projects it out.

      Insignia Solutions was founded in 1986.   Their first product,
      {SoftPC} 1.0 for Sun workstations, was introduced in 1988.
      Also in 1988, Insignia shipped its first version of SoftPC for
      Apple Computer's Macintosh.   As the demand to run Windows and
      MS-DOS applications on non-Intel computers grew, Insignia
      signed {OEM} agreements with several companies including {Data
      General}, Digital, {Fujitsu}, HP, {Intergraph Corp.},
      Motorola, Silicon Graphics, and Sun Microsystems.
  
      Insignia Solutions sold its {SoftWindows} and {RealPC} product
      lines to {FWB Software} [when?].   Its major product in 2000 is
      the {Jeode} platform, a {Java virtual machine} for {Internet
      appliances} and {embedded} devices.
