      t[82]lescope. See {Telegraph}, and {-scope}.]
      An optical instrument used in viewing distant objects, as the
      heavenly bodies.
  
      Note: A telescope assists the eye chiefly in two ways; first,
               by enlarging the visual angle under which a distant
               object is seen, and thus magnifying that object; and,
               secondly, by collecting, and conveying to the eye, a
               larger beam of light than would enter the naked organ,
               thus rendering objects distinct and visible which would
               otherwise be indistinct and or invisible. Its essential
               parts are the object glass, or concave mirror, which
               collects the beam of light, and forms an image of the
               object, and the eyeglass, which is a microscope, by
               which the image is magnified.

      {Astronomical telescope}, a telescope which has a simple
            eyepiece so constructed or used as not to reverse the
            image formed by the object glass, and consequently
            exhibits objects inverted, which is not a hindrance in
            astronomical observations.
  
      {Cassegrainian telescope}, a reflecting telescope invented by
            Cassegrain, which differs from the Gregorian only in
            having the secondary speculum convex instead of concave,
            and placed nearer the large speculum. The Cassegrainian
            represents objects inverted; the Gregorian, in their
            natural position. The Melbourne telescope (see Illust.

            common opera glass. This was the construction originally
            adopted by Galileo, the inventor of the instrument. It
            exhibits the objects erect, that is, in their natural
            positions.

      {Prism telescope}. See {Teinoscope}.
  
      {Reflecting telescope}, a telescope in which the image is
            formed by a speculum or mirror (or usually by two
            speculums, a large one at the lower end of the telescope,
            and the smaller one near the open end) instead of an
            object glass. See {Gregorian, Cassegrainian, Herschelian,
            [and] Newtonian, telescopes}, above.
  
      {Refracting telescope}, a telescope in which the image is

            the barrel, having cross wires in the eyepiece and used as
            a sight.
  
      {Terrestrial telescope}, a telescope whose eyepiece has one
            or two lenses more than the astronomical, for the purpose
            of inverting the image, and exhibiting objects erect.

                  consequently, in the apparent position of a heavenly
                  body from which it emanates, arising from its passage
                  through the earth's atmosphere; -- hence distinguished
                  as atmospheric refraction, or astronomical refraction.
            (b) The correction which is to be deducted from the
                  apparent altitude of a heavenly body on account of
                  atmospheric refraction, in order to obtain the true
                  altitude.
  
      {Angle of refraction} (Opt.), the angle which a refracted ray
            makes with the perpendicular to the surface separating the
            two media traversed by the ray.
  
      {Conical refraction} (Opt.), the refraction of a ray of light
            into an infinite number of rays, forming a hollow cone.
            This occurs when a ray of light is passed through crystals
            of some substances, under certain circumstances. Conical
            refraction is of two kinds; external conical refraction,
            in which the ray issues from the crystal in the form of a
            cone, the vertex of which is at the point of emergence;
            and internal conical refraction, in which the ray is
            changed into the form of a cone on entering the crystal,
            from which it issues in the form of a hollow cylinder.
            This singular phenomenon was first discovered by Sir W. R.
            Hamilton by mathematical reasoning alone, unaided by
            experiment.
  
      {Differential refraction} (Astron.), the change of the
            apparent place of one object relative to a second object
            near it, due to refraction; also, the correction required
            to be made to the observed relative places of the two
            bodies.
  
      {Double refraction} (Opt.), the refraction of light in two
            directions, which produces two distinct images. The power
            of double refraction is possessed by all crystals except
            those of the isometric system. A uniaxial crystal is said
            to be optically positive (like quartz), or optically
            negative (like calcite), or to have positive, or negative,
            double refraction, according as the optic axis is the axis
            of least or greatest elasticity for light; a biaxial
            crystal is similarly designated when the same relation
            holds for the acute bisectrix.
  
      {Index of refraction}. See under {Index}.
  
      {Refraction circle} (Opt.), an instrument provided with a
            graduated circle for the measurement of refraction.
  
      {Refraction of latitude}, {longitude}, {declination}, {right
      ascension}, etc., the change in the apparent latitude,
            longitude, etc., of a heavenly body, due to the effect of
            atmospheric refraction.
  
      {Terrestrial refraction}, the change in the apparent altitude
            of a distant point on or near the earth's surface, as the
            top of a mountain, arising from the passage of light from
            it to the eye through atmospheric strata of varying
            density.

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 \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}.

   refresh
  
      1. {DRAM refresh}.
  
      2. {screen refresh}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   refresh rate
  
      (Or "vertical refresh rate", "vertical scan rate")
      The maximum number of {frames} that can be displayed on a
      {monitor} in a second, expressed in {Hertz}.
  
      The scan rate is controlled by the vertical sync signal
      generated by the {video controller}, ordering the monitor to
      position the {electron gun} at the upper left corner of the
      {raster}, ready to paint another frame.   It is limited by the
      monitor's maximum {horizontal scan rate} and the {resolution},
      since higher resolution means more {scan lines}.   Increasing
      the refresh rate decreases flickering, reducing eye strain,
      but few people notice any change above 60-72 Hz.

   Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
  
      (RARP) A {protocol} defined in {RFC

      a hardware address ({MAC address}) to an {Internet address}.
      It is used primarily by {diskless nodes}, when they first
      initialise, to find their {Internet address}.
  
      See also {BOOTP}.

   reverse engineering
  
      The process of analysing an existing
      system to identify its components and their interrelationships
      and create representations of the system in another form or at
      a higher level of abstraction.   Reverse engineering is usually
      undertaken in order to redesign the system for better
      maintainability or to produce a copy of a system without
      access to the design from which it was originally produced.
  
      For example, one might take the {executable} code of a
      computer program, run it to study how it behaved with
      different input and then attempt to write a program oneself
      which behaved identically (or better).   An {integrated
      circuit} might also be reverse engineered by an unscrupulous
      company wishing to make unlicensed copies of a popular chip.
