Direction
(gcide) | Direction \Di*rec"tion\, n. [L. directio: cf. F. direction.]
1. The act of directing, of aiming, regulating, guiding, or
ordering; guidance; management; superintendence;
administration; as, the direction o? public affairs or of
a bank.
[1913 Webster]
I do commit his youth
To your direction. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
ll chance, direction, which thou canst not see.
--Pope.
[1913 Webster]
2. That which is imposed by directing; a guiding or
authoritative instruction; prescription; order; command;
as, he grave directions to the servants.
[1913 Webster]
The princes digged the well . . . by the direction
of the law giver. --Numb. xxi.
18.
[1913 Webster]
3. The name and residence of a person to whom any thing is
sent, written upon the thing sent; superscription;
address; as, the direction of a letter.
[1913 Webster]
4. The line or course upon which anything is moving or aimed
to move, or in which anything is lying or pointing; aim;
line or point of tendency; direct line or course; as, the
ship sailed in a southeasterly direction.
[1913 Webster]
5. The body of managers of a corporation or enterprise; board
of directors.
[1913 Webster]
6. (Gun.) The pointing of a piece with reference to an
imaginary vertical axis; -- distinguished from elevation.
The direction is given when the plane of sight passes
through the object. --Wilhelm.
Syn: Administration; guidance; management; superintendence;
oversight; government; order; command; guide; clew.
Usage: Direction, Control, Command, Order. These
words, as here compared, have reference to the
exercise of power over the actions of others. Control
is negative, denoting power to restrain; command is
positive, implying a right to enforce obedience;
directions are commands containing instructions how to
act. Order conveys more prominently the idea of
authority than the word direction. A shipmaster has
the command of his vessel; he gives orders or
directions to the seamen as to the mode of sailing it;
and exercises a due control over the passengers.

directional coupler
(foldoc) | directional coupler
(tap) A passive device used in cable
systems to divide and combine radio frequency signals. A
directional coupler has at least three ports: line in, line
out, and the tap. The signal passes between line in and line
out ports with loss referred to as the insertion loss. A
small portion of the signal power applied to the line in port
passes to the tap port. A signal applied to the tap port is
passed to the line in port less the tap attenuation value.
The tap signals are isolated from the line out port to prevent
reflections. A signal applied to the line out port passes to
the line in port and is isolated from the tap port. Some
devices provide more than one tap output line (multi-taps).

i/o redirection
(foldoc) | input/output redirection
I/O redirection
In Unix, to send ouput from a process
to different file or device or to another process via a
pipe, or to have a process read its input from a different
file, device or pipe. Some other operating systems have
similar facilities.
To redirect input to come from a file instead of the keyboard,
use " |
indirection
(foldoc) | indirection
Manipulating data via its address. Indirection
is a powerful and general programming technique. It can be
used for example to process data stored in a sequence of
consecutive memory locations by maintaining a pointer to the
current item and incrementing it to point to the next item.
Indirection is supported at the machine language level by
indirect addressing. Many processor and operating system
architectures use vectors which are also an instance of
indirection, being locations which hold the address of a
routine to handle a particular event. The event handler can
be changed simply by pointing the vector at a new piece of
code.
C includes operators "&" which returns the address of a
variable and its inverse "*" which returns the variable at a
given address.

url redirection
(foldoc) | URL redirection
URL forwarding
(Or "URL forwarding")
When a web server tells the client browser to obtain a
certain requested page from a different location. This is
controlled by directives in the server's configuration files
or a "Location: header output by a CGI script.
The web server stores all its documents in a directory tree
rooted at some configured directory, known as its "document
root". Normally the URI part of the URL (the part after
the hostname) is used as a relative path from the document
root to the desired file or directory. A redirect directive
allows the server administrator to specify exceptions to this
general mapping from URL to file name by telling the browser
"try this URL instead". The new URL may be on the same server
or a different one and may itself be subject to redirection.
The user is normally unaware of this process except that it
may introduce extra delay while the browser sends the new
request and the browser will usually display the new URL
rather than the one the user originally requested.

|
MISDIRECTION
(bouvier) | MISDIRECTION, practice. An error made by a judge in charging the jury in a
special case.
2. Such misdirection is either in relation to matters of law or matters
of fact.
3.-1. When the judge at the trial misdirects the jury, on matters of
law, material to the issue, whatever may be the nature of the case, the
verdict will be set aside, and a new trial granted; 6 Mod. 242; 2 Salk. 649;
2 Wils. 269; or if such misdirection appear in the bill of exceptions or
otherwise upon the record, a judgment founded on a verdict thus obtained,
will be reversed. When the issue consists of a mixed question of law and
fact and there is a conceded state of facts, the rest is a question for the
court; 2 Wend. R. 596; and a misdirection in this respect will avoid the
verdict.
4.-2. Misdirection as to matters of fact will in some cases be
sufficient to vitiate the proceedings. If, for example, the judge should
undertake to dictate to the jury. When the, judge delivers, his opinion to
the jury on a matter of fact, it should be delivered as mere opinion, and
not as direction. 12 John. R. 513. But the judge is in general allowed to
very liberal discretion in charging a jury on matters of fact. 1 McCl. & Y.
286.
5. As to its effects, misdirection must be calculated to do injustice;
for if justice has been done, and a new trial would produce the same result,
a new trial will not be granted on that account, 2 Salk. 644, 646; 2 T. R.
4; 1 B. & P. 338; 5 Mass. R. 1; 7 Greenl. R. 442; 2 Pick. R. 310; 4 Day's R.
42; 5 Day's R. 329; 3 John. R. 528; 2 Penna. R. 325.
