Palm \Palm\, n. [AS. palm, L. palma; -- so named fr. the leaf       resembling a hand. See lst {Palm}, and cf. {Pam}.]       1. (Bot.) Any endogenous tree of the order {Palm[91]} or             {Palmace[91]}; a palm tree.          Note: Palms are perennial woody plants, often of majestic                size. The trunk is usually erect and rarely branched,                and has a roughened exterior composed of the persistent                bases of the leaf stalks. The leaves are borne in a                terminal crown, and are supported on stout, sheathing,                often prickly, petioles. They are usually of great                size, and are either pinnately or palmately many-cleft.                There are about one thousand species known, nearly all                of them growing in tropical or semitropical regions.                The wood, petioles, leaves, sap, and fruit of many                species are invaluable in the arts and in domestic                economy. Among the best known are the date palm, the                cocoa palm, the fan palm, the oil palm, the wax palm,                the palmyra, and the various kinds called cabbage palm                and palmetto.          2. A branch or leaf of the palm, anciently borne or worn as a             symbol of victory or rejoicing.                         A great multitude . . . stood before the throne, and                      before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palme                      in their hands.                                 --Rev. vii. 9.          3. Hence: Any symbol or token of superiority, success, or             triumph; also, victory; triumph; supremacy. [bd]The palm             of martyrdom.[b8] --Chaucer.                         So get the start of the majestic world And bear the                      palm alone.                                       --Shak.          {Molucca palm} (Bot.), a labiate herb from Asia ({Molucella             l[91]vis}), having a curious cup-shaped calyx.          {Palm cabbage}, the terminal bud of a cabbage palm, used as             food.          {Palm cat} (Zo[94]l.), the common paradoxure.          {Palm crab} (Zo[94]l.), the purse crab.          {Palm oil}, a vegetable oil, obtained from the fruit of             several species of palms, as the African oil palm             ({El[91]is Guineensis}), and used in the manufacture of             soap and candles. See {El[91]is}.          {Palm swift} (Zo[94]l.), a small swift ({Cypselus             Batassiensis}) which frequents the palmyra and cocoanut             palms in India. Its peculiar nest is attached to the leaf             of the palmyra palm.          {Palm toddy}. Same as {Palm wine}.          {Palm weevil} (Zo[94]l.), any one of mumerous species of very             large weevils of the genus {Rhynchophorus}. The larv[91]             bore into palm trees, and are called {palm borers}, and             {grugru worms}. They are considered excellent food.          {Palm wine}, the sap of several species of palms, especially,             in India, of the wild date palm ({Ph[d2]nix sylvestrix}),             the palmyra, and the {Caryota urens}. When fermented it             yields by distillation arrack, and by evaporation jaggery.             Called also {palm toddy}.          {Palm worm}, or {Palmworm}. (Zo[94]l.)             (a) The larva of a palm weevil.             (b) A centipede.

Swift \Swift\, n.       1. The current of a stream. [R.] --Walton.          2. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of small,             long-winged, insectivorous birds of the family             {Micropodid[91]}. In form and habits the swifts resemble             swallows, but they are destitute of complex vocal muscles             and are not singing birds, but belong to a widely             different group allied to the humming birds.          Note: The common European swift ({Cypselus, [or] Micropus,                apus}) nests in church steeples and under the tiles of                roofs, and is noted for its rapid flight and shrill                screams. It is called also {black martin}, {black                swift}, {hawk swallow}, {devil bird}, {swingdevil},                {screech martin}, and {shreik owl}. The common                American, or chimney, swift ({Ch[91]tura pelagica}) has                sharp rigid tips to the tail feathers. It attaches its                nest to the inner walls of chimneys, and is called also                {chimney swallow}. The Australian swift ({Ch[91]tura                caudacuta}) also has sharp naked tips to the tail                quills. The European Alpine swift ({Cypselus melba}) is                whitish beneath, with a white band across the breast.                The common Indian swift is {Cypselus affinis}. See also                {Palm swift}, under {Palm}, and {Tree swift}, under                {Tree}.          3. (Zo[94]l.)

Chip Scale Packaging          (CSP) Surface Mount International attendees debated       chip scale technologies as system manufacturers seek new       levels of package miniaturisation for chip-on-board, flip chip       and multichip modules.   Technical and marketing gurus       furthered the technical debate by focussing on which chip       scale packaging schemes would be the most cost-effective for       future packages designated for high volume consumer       applications.   Bare chip package supporters noted that       mainstream circuitry is readily available in known good die       (KGD) from a number of suppliers. Traditional ball grid array       packages received strong support for current high volume and       high density manufacturing needs. Chip scale packages (CSP)       provide pre-speed-sorted,pre-tested and pre-packaged die       without requiring specialized testing. CSP supporters improved       their position with ChipScale's announcement that Motorola       will license its Micro SMT packaging technology.          ["Chip scale packaging gains at SMI.
