| parallel | 1. Pertaining to straight lines or planes that do not intersect. 2. <physics> Pertaining to electric circuit components connected in parallel so that the current flow divides, each branch passing through one component and rejoins, applied by extension to any similar parallel circuit, for example the systemic circulation to the various organs.

| parallel attachment | A frictional or mechanically retained unit used in fixed or removable prosthodontics, consisting of closely fitting male and female parts, an attachment that may be rigid in function or may incorporate a movable stress control unit to reduce the torque on the abutment. Synonym: frictional attachment, internal attachment, key attachment, keyway attachment, parallel attachment, slotted attachment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy | <technique> Electron energy loss spectroscopy analyses the inelastically scattered electrons present in the beam after it has been transmitted through the sample. An electron energy loss spectrum typically consists of a monatomic decreasing background on which are superimposed a number of peaks. Each peak is characteristic of the scattering process that has occurred in the sample. The peaks can be used to obtain information about the chemical composition and electronic structure of the sample. Electron energy loss spectra are acquired typically in a magnetic sector spectrometer located under the camera chamber of the transmission electron microscope. Spatial resolution is typically limited by the minimum probe diameter of the microscope. Electron energy loss spectroscopy tends to be complimentary to EDS in that it can be used to analyse very thin samples of low Z materials. Acronym: PEELS (05 Aug 1998) |

| parallelism | 1. The state of being structurally parallel. 2.

| parallelogram | <geometry> A right-lined quadrilateral figure, whose opposite sides are parallel, and consequently equal; sometimes restricted in popular usage to a rectangle, or quadrilateral figure which is longer than it is broad, and with right angles. Parallelogram of velocities, forces, accelerations, momenta, etc. <mechanics> A parallelogram the diagonal of which represents the resultant of two velocities, forces, accelerations, momenta, etc, both in quantity and direction, when the velocities, forces, accelerations, momenta, etc, are represented in quantity and direction by the two adjacent sides of the parallelogram. Origin: Gr.; parallel + to write: cf. F. Parallelogramme. See Parallel, and -gram. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| parallelometer | An apparatus used for paralleling the attachments and abutments for fixed or removable partial dentures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parallelopiped | <geometry> A solid, the faces of which are six parallelograms, the opposite pairs being parallel, and equal to each other; a prism whose base is a parallelogram. Origin: Gr. A body with parallel surfaces; parallel + a plane surface, on the ground, or level with it, level, flat; on + the ground: cf. F. Parallelopipede. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
