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 The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   horizontal encoding
  
      An {instruction set} where each field (a bit or
      group of bits) in an instruction word controls some
      {functional unit} or {gate} directly, as opposed to {vertical
      encoding} where instruction fields are decoded (by
      {hard-wired} {logic} or {microcode}) to produce the control
      signals.   Horizontal encoding allows all possible combinations
      of control signals (and therefore operations) to be expressed
      as instructions whereas vertical encoding uses a shorter
      instruction word but can only encode those combinations of
      operations built into the decoding logic.
  
      An {instruction set} may use a mixture of horizontal and
      vertical encoding within each instruction.   Because an
      architecture using horizontal encoding typically requires more
      instruction word bits it is sometimes known as a {very long
      instruction word} (VLIW) architecture.

   horizontal scan rate
  
      (HSR) The measure of how many {scan lines} of
      {pixels} a {monitor} can display in one second, expressed in
      kHz (generally somewhere between 20 and 100 kHz).
  
      The HSR is controlled by the horizontal sync signal generated
      by the {video controller}, but is limited by the speed with
      which the monitor can scan the electron beam horizontally
      across the screen and then return it to the beginning of the
      next line.

   horizontal tabulation
  
      (tab, Control-I, HT, {ASCII 9}) A character which
      when displayed or printed causes the following character to be
      placed at the next "tabstop" - the column whose number is a
      multiple of the current tab width.   Commonly (especially in
      Unix(?)) the tab width is eight, so, counting from the left
      margin (column zero), the tab stops are at columns 8, 16, 24,
      up to the width of the screen or page.
  
      A tab width of four or two is often preferred when indenting
      program {source code} to conserve indentation.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Horseman
      Heb. ba'al parash, "master of a horse." The "horsemen" mentioned
      Ex. 14:9 were "mounted men", i.e., men who rode in chariots. The
      army of Pharaoh consisted of a chariot and infantry force. We
      find that at a later period, however, the Egyptians had cavalry
      (2 Chr. 12:3). (See {HORSE}.)
