Faldfee \Fald"fee`\, n. [AS. fald (E. fold) + E. fee. See       {Faldage}.] (O. Eng. Law)       A fee or rent paid by a tenant for the privilege of faldage       on his own ground. --Blount.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Fault \Fault\, n.       1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a             crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with             another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the             circuit.          2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of             rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated             structure resulting from such slipping.          Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have                moved is called the          {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a          {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the             present relative position of the two masses could have             been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,             of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a          {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so             inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up             relatively, the fault is then called a          {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},       {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault             is then called a          {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation             measured on the fault plane and in the direction of             movement is the          {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the          {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the          {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the             fault plane with a horizontal plane is the          {trend} of the fault. A fault is a          {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with             the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of             intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal             plane); it is a          {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;             an          {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.             Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called          {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel             faults are sometimes called          {step faults} and sometimes          {distributive faults}.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Fault-finder \Fault"-find`er\, n.       One who makes a practice of discovering others' faults and       censuring them; a scold.

(Baseball) That part of the grounds reserved for the             players which is outside of the diamond; -- called also             {outfield}.          Note: Field is often used adjectively in the sense of                belonging to, or used in, the fields; especially with                reference to the operations and equipments of an army                during a campaign away from permanent camps and                fortifications. In most cases such use of the word is                sufficiently clear; as, field battery; field                fortification; field gun; field hospital, etc. A field                geologist, naturalist, etc., is one who makes                investigations or collections out of doors.

Carburetor \Car"bu*ret`or\, Carburettor \Car"bu*ret`tor\, n.       One that carburets; specif., an apparatus in which air or gas       is carbureted, as by passing it through a light petroleum       oil. The carburetor for a gasoline engine is usually either a       {surface carburetor}, or a {float, float-feed, [or] spray},       {carburetor}. In the former air is charged by being passed       over the surface of gasoline. In the latter a fine spray of       gasoline is drawn from an atomizing nozzle by a current of       air induced by the suction of the engine piston, the supply       of gasoline being regulated by a float which actuates a       needle valve controlling the outlet of the feed pipe. Alcohol       and other volatile inflammable liquids may be used instead of       gasoline.

field effect transistor          (FET) A {transistor} with a region of {donor}       material with two terminals called the "source" and the       "drain", and an adjoining region of {acceptor} material       between, called the "gate".   The voltage between the gate and       the {substrate} controls the current flow between source and       drain by depleting the donor region of its charge carriers to       greater or lesser extent.          There are two kinds of FET's, {Junction FETs} and {MOSFETs}.          Because no current (except a minute leakage current) flows       through the gate, FETs can be used to make circuits with very       low power consumption.          Contrast {bipolar transistor}.          (1995-10-05)

field-programmable gate array          (FPGA) A {gate array} where the logic network can       be programmed into the device after its manufacture.   An FPGA       consists of an array of logic elements, either gates or lookup       table {RAM}s, {flip-flops} and programmable interconnect       wiring.          Most FPGAs are reprogrammable, since their logic functions and       interconnect are defined by RAM cells.   The {Xilinx} LCA,       {Altera} FLEX and {AT&T} ORCA devices are examples.   Others       can only be programmed once, by closing "antifuses".   These       retain their programming permanently.   The {Actel} FPGAs are       the leading example of such devices.   Atmel FPGAs are       currently (July 1997) the only ones in which part of the array       can be reprogrammed while other parts are active.          As of 1994, FPGAs have logic capacity up to 10K to 20K       2-input-NAND-equivalent gates, up to about 200 I/O pins and       can run at {clock rate}s of 50 MHz or more.   FPGA designs must       be prepared using {CAD} software tools, usually provided by       the chip vendor, to do technology mapping, partitioning and       placement, routing, and binary output.   The resulting binary       can be programmed into a {ROM} connected to the FPGA or       {downloaded} to the FPGA from a connected computer.          In addition to ordinary logic applications, FPGAs have enabled       the development of {logic emulators}.   There is also research       on using FPGAs as computing devices, taking direct advantage       of their reconfigurability into problem-specific hardware       processors.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.arch.fpga}.          (1997-07-11)
