Repeater :: Repeater (n.) A watch with a striking apparatus which, upon pressure of a spring, will indicate the time, usually in hours and quarters..

Low-pressure :: Low-pressure (a.) Having, employing, or exerting, a low degree of pressure..

Hurry :: Hurry (n.) The act of hurrying in motion or business; pressure; urgency; bustle; confusion.

Brace :: Brace (v. t.) To place in a position for resisting pressure; to hold firmly; as, he braced himself against the crowd..

Renitent :: Renitent (a.) Resisting pressure or the effect of it; acting against impulse by elastic force.

Hemadynamometer :: Hemadynamometer (n.) An instrument by which the pressure of the blood in the arteries, or veins, is measured by the height to which it will raise a column of mercury; -- called also a haemomanometer..

Laminable :: Laminable (a.) Capable of being split into laminae or thin plates, as mica; capable of being extended under pressure into a thin plate or strip..

Fluctuation :: Fluctuation (n.) The motion or undulation of a fluid collected in a natural or artifical cavity, which is felt when it is subjected to pressure or percussion..

Push :: Push (n.) Any thrust. pressure, impulse, or force, or force applied; a shove; as, to give the ball the first push..

Entropy :: Entropy (n.) A certain property of a body, expressed as a measurable quantity, such that when there is no communication of heat the quantity remains constant, but when heat enters or leaves the body the quantity increases or diminishes. If a small amount, h, of heat enters the body when its temperature is t in the thermodynamic scale the entropy of the body is increased by h / t. The entropy is regarded as measured from some standard temperature and pressure. Sometimes called the thermodynamic f

Intensity :: Intensity (n.) The magnitude of a distributed force, as pressure, stress, weight, etc., per unit of surface, or of volume, as the case may be; as, the measure of the intensity of a total stress of forty pounds which is distributed uniformly over a surface of four square inches area is ten pounds per square inch..

Stress :: Stress (n.) Pressure, strain; -- used chiefly of immaterial things; except in mechanics; hence, urgency; importance; weight; significance..
