            (b) An apparatus for generating voltaic electricity.
  
      Note: In the trough battery, copper and zinc plates,
               connected in pairs, divide the trough into cells, which
               are filled with an acid or oxidizing liquid; the effect
               is exhibited when wires connected with the two
               end-plates are brought together. In Daniell's battery,
               the metals are zinc and copper, the former in dilute
               sulphuric acid, or a solution of sulphate of zinc, the
               latter in a saturated solution of sulphate of copper. A
               modification of this is the common gravity battery, so
               called from the automatic action of the two fluids,
               which are separated by their specific gravities. In
               Grove's battery, platinum is the metal used with zinc;
               two fluids are used, one of them in a porous cell
               surrounded by the other. In Bunsen's or the carbon
               battery, the carbon of gas coke is substituted for the
               platinum of Grove's. In Leclanch[82]'s battery, the
               elements are zinc in a solution of ammonium chloride,
               and gas carbon surrounded with manganese dioxide in a
               porous cell. A secondary battery is a battery which
               usually has the two plates of the same kind, generally
               of lead, in dilute sulphuric acid, and which, when
               traversed by an electric current, becomes charged, and
               is then capable of giving a current of itself for a
               time, owing to chemical changes produced by the
               charging current. A storage battery is a kind of
               secondary battery used for accumulating and storing the
               energy of electrical charges or currents, usually by
               means of chemical work done by them; an accumulator.
  
      5. A number of similar machines or devices in position; an
            apparatus consisting of a set of similar parts; as, a
            battery of boilers, of retorts, condensers, etc.
  
      6. (Metallurgy) A series of stamps operated by one motive
            power, for crushing ores containing the precious metals.
            --Knight.
  
      7. The box in which the stamps for crushing ore play up and
            down.
  
      8. (Baseball) The pitcher and catcher together.

   Infidel \In"fi*del\, n.
      One who does not believe in the prevailing religious faith;
      especially, one who does not believe in the divine origin and
      authority of Christianity; a Mohammedan; a heathen; a
      freethinker.
  
      Note: Infidel is used by English writers to translate the

      Syn: {Infidel}, {Unbeliever}, {Freethinker}, {Deist},
               {Atheist}, {Sceptic}, {Agnostic}.
  
      Usage: An infidel, in common usage, is one who denies
                  Christianity and the truth of the Scriptures. Some
                  have endeavored to widen the sense of infidel so as to
                  embrace atheism and every form of unbelief; but this
                  use does not generally prevail. A freethinker is now
                  only another name for an infidel. An unbeliever is not
                  necessarily a disbeliever or infidel, because he may
                  still be inquiring after evidence to satisfy his mind;
                  the word, however, is more commonly used in the
                  extreme sense. A deist believes in one God and a
                  divine providence, but rejects revelation. An atheist
                  denies the being of God. A sceptic is one whose faith
                  in the credibility of evidence is weakened or
                  destroyed, so that religion, to the same extent, has

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   input/output redirection
  
      In {Unix}, to send ouput from a {process}
      to different {file} or {device} or to another process via a
      {pipe}, or to have a process read its input from a different
      file, device or pipe.   Some other {operating systems} have
      similar facilities.
  
      To redirect input to come from a file instead of the keyboard,
      use "<":
  
      myprog < myfile
  
      Similarly to redirect output to a file instead of the screen:
  
      ls > filelist
  
      A pipe redirects the output of one process directly into the
      input of another
  
      who | wc -l
  
      A common misuse by beginners is
  
      cat myfile | myprog
  
      Which is more or less equivalent to "myprog < myfile" except
      that it introduces an extra unnecessary cat process and buffer
      space for the pipe.   Even the "<" is unnecessary with many
      standard Unix commands since they accept input file names as
      command line arguments anyway.
  
      Unix's concept of {standard input/output} and I/O redirection
      make it easy to combine simple processes in powerful ways and
      to use the same commands for different purposes.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Imputation
      is used to designate any action or word or thing as reckoned to
      a person. Thus in doctrinal language (1) the sin of Adam is
      imputed to all his descendants, i.e., it is reckoned as theirs,
      and they are dealt with therefore as guilty; (2) the
      righteousness of Christ is imputed to them that believe in him,
      or so attributed to them as to be considered their own; and (3)
      our sins are imputed to Christ, i.e., he assumed our
      "law-place," undertook to answer the demands of justice for our
      sins. In all these cases the nature of imputation is the same
      (Rom. 5:12-19; comp. Philemon 1:18, 19).
