| maul-stick | A stick used by painters as a rest for the hand while working. Alternative forms: mahl-stick. Origin: G. Malerstock; maler a painter + stock stick. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| mouth stick | A prosthesis which is held by the teeth and utilised by handicapped persons to perform such actions as typing, painting, and lifting small objects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stick | 1. A small shoot, or branch, separated, as by a cutting, from a tree or shrub; also, any stem or branch of a tree, of any size, cut for fuel or timber. "Withered sticks to gather, which might serve Against a winter's day." (Milton) 2. Any long and comparatively slender piece of wood, whether in natural form or shaped with tools; a rod; a wand; a staff; as, the stick of a rocket; a walking stick. 3. Anything shaped like a stick; as, a stick of wax. 4. A derogatory expression for a person; one who is inert or stupid; as, an odd stick; a poor stick. 5. A composing stick. See Composing. It is usually a frame of metal, but for posters, handbills, etc, one made of wood is used. 6. A thrust with a pointed instrument; a stab. A stick of eels, twenty-five eels. Stick chimney, a chimney made of sticks laid crosswise, and cemented with clay or mud, as in some log houses. <zoology> Stick insect,, any one of various species of wingless orthopterous insects of the family Phasmidae, which have a long round body, resembling a stick in form and colour, and long legs, which are often held rigidly in such positions as to make them resemble small twigs. They thus imitate the branches and twigs of the trees on which they live. The common American species is Diapheromera femorata. Some of the Asiatic species are more than a foot long. To cut one's stick, or To cut stick, to run away. Origin: OE. Sticke, AS. Sticca; akin to stician to stab, prick, pierce, G. Stecken a stick, staff, OHG. Steccho, Icel. Stik a stick. See Stick.

| active electrode | A small electrode whose exciting effect is used to stimulate or record potentials from a localised area. Synonym: exciting electrode, localizing electrode, therapeutic electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calomel electrode | An electrode in which the wire is connected through a pool of mercury to a paste of mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2, calomel) in a potassium chloride solution covered by more potassium chloride solution; commonly used as a reference electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon dioxide electrode | A glass electrode in a film of bicarbonate solution covered by a thin plastic membrane permeable to carbon dioxide but impermeable to water and electrolytes; the carbon dioxide pressure of a gas or liquid sample quickly equilibrates through the membrane and is measured in terms of the resulting pH of the bicarbonate solution, as sensed by the glass electrode; commonly used to analyze arterial blood samples. Synonym: Severinghaus electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| redox electrode | An electrode capable of measuring oxidation-reduction potential. See: quinhydrone electrode. Synonym: redox electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reference electrode | An electrode expected to have a constant potential, such as a calomel electrode, and used with another electrode to complete an electrical circuit through a solution; e.g., when a reference electrode is used with a glass electrode for pH measurement, changes in voltage between the two electrode's can be attributed to the effects of pH on the glass electrode alone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glass electrode | A thin-walled glass bulb containing a standard buffer solution, quinhydrone, and a platinum wire; when immersed in an unknown solution, a potential difference develops that varies with the pH of the unknown solution; this difference can be made to give the pH; used in pH meters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central terminal electrode | In electrocardiography, an electrode in which connections from the three limbs (right arm, left arm, and left leg) are joined and led to the electrocardiograph to form the indifferent electrode, theoretically at zero potential for the system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clark electrode | An oxygen electrode consisting of the tip of a platinum wire exposed to a thin film of electrolyte covered by a plastic membrane permeable to oxygen but not to water or the electrolyte. When a certain voltage is applied, oxygen is destroyed at the platinum surface; the flow of current is then proportional to the rate at which oxygen can diffuse to the platinum surface from the gas or liquid sample outside the membrane, and is thus a measure of the oxygen pressure in the sample; commonly used to measure oxygen pressure in arterial blood samples. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive electrode | <microscopy> The electrode to which a major flow of electrons takes place internally (as in a cathode-ray tube) or to which an external positive voltage supply is connected. (05 Aug 1998) |
