ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM
a.
Acting of or by one's self or by itself; -- said especially of a machine or mechanism which is made to perform of or for itself what is usually done by human agency; automatic; as, a self-acting feed apparatus; a self-acting mule; a self-acting press.
n.
The moving parts of a mechanism; as, the works of a watch.
n.
Any mechanism having a rack, as a rack and pinion.
n.
The arrangement or relation of the parts of a machine; the parts of a machine, taken collectively; the arrangement or relation of the parts of anything as adapted to produce an effect; as, the mechanism of a watch; the mechanism of a sewing machine; the mechanism of a seed pod.
n.
Mechanism in which links, or intermediate connecting pieces, are employed to transmit motion from one part to another.
a.
Causing movement in the walls of vessels; as, the vasomotor mechanisms; the vasomotor nerves, a system of nerves distributed over the muscular coats of the blood vessels.
n.
Mechanical operation or action.
n.
That part of a mechanism which serves to lock up, make fast, or adjust to position.
v. t.
To undo the mechanism of; to unmake; as, to unmechanize a structure.
n.
A device or mechanism for producing light by electricity. See Incandescent lamp, under Incandescent.
n.
A mechanism composed of a ratchet wheel, or ratch, and pawl. See Ratchet wheel, below, and 2d Ratch.
n.
An instrument which is turned like a key in fastening or adjusting any mechanism; as, a watch key; a bed key, etc.
n.
An ideal machine; a combination of movable bodies constituting a machine, but considered only with regard to relative movements.
n.
A combination of wheels, and their connection, in a machine or mechanism.
n.
An elementary piece of the mechanism of a lock.
n.
any preparation used to render an organism immune to some disease, by inducing or increasing the natural immunity mechanisms. Prior to 1995, such preparations usually contained killed organisms of the type for which immunity was desired, and sometimes used live organisms having attenuated virulence. since that date, preparations containing only specific antigenic portions of the pathogenic organism are also used, some of which are prepared by genetic engineering techniques.
n.
Any one of the several elementary pieces of a mechanism, as the fixed frame, or a rod, wheel, mass of confined liquid, etc., by which relative motion of other parts is produced and constrained.
n.
The principal or most important spring in a piece of mechanism, especially the moving spring of a watch or clock or the spring in a gunlock which impels the hammer. Hence: The chief or most powerful motive; the efficient cause of action.
n.
An arm attached to a swinging notched arc or rack, to let off the striking mechanism of a repeating clock.
a.
Wound by mechanism connected with the stem; as, a stem-winding watch.
