Invert sugar
(gcide) | Invert \In"vert\, a. (Chem.)
Subjected to the process of inversion; inverted; converted;

[1913 Webster]
Invert sugar (Chem.), a variety of sugar, consisting of a
mixture of dextrose and levulose, found naturally in
fruits, and produced artificially by the inversion of cane
sugar (sucrose); also, less properly, the grape sugar or
dextrose obtained from starch. See Inversion,
Dextrose, Levulose, and Sugar.
[1913 Webster]Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.
az['u]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [,c]arkar[=a]
sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. Saccharine, Sucrose.]
1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,
of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by
crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as
the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It
is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food
and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the
Note below.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as
the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the
raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it
includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the
glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,
dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true
sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.
See Carbohydrate. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are
ketone alcohols of the formula C6H12O6, and they turn
the plane of polarization to the right or the left.
They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by
the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are
themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and
carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet
produced artificially belongs to this class. The
sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose
anhydrides of the formula C12H22O11. They are usually
not fermentable as such (cf. Sucrose), and they act
on polarized light.
[1913 Webster]
2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or
appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous
white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.
[1913 Webster]
3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render
acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.
[Colloq.]

two branches or legs of unequal length, by which a liquid
can be transferred to a lower level, as from one vessel to

the pressure of the atmosphere in forcing the liquid up
the shorter branch of the pipe immersed in it, while the
continued excess of weight of the liquid in the longer
branch (when once filled) causes a continuous flow. The
flow takes place only when the discharging extremity of
the pipe ia lower than the higher liquid surface, and when
no part of the pipe is higher above the surface than the
same liquid will rise by atmospheric pressure; that is,
about 33 feet for water, and 30 inches for mercury, near

inverted index
(foldoc) | inverted index
A sequence of (key, pointer)
pairs where each pointer points to a record in a database
which contains the key value in some particular field. The
index is sorted on the key values to allow rapid searching for
a particular key value, using e.g. binary search. The index
is "inverted" in the sense that the key value is used to find
the record rather than the other way round. For databases in
which the records may be searched based on more than one
field, multiple indices may be created that are sorted on
those keys.
An index may contain gaps to allow for new entries to be added
in the correct sort order without always requiring the
following entries to be shifted out of the way.

NRZI
(NRZI) A recording method used for 9-track {magnetic
tapes} (200 and 800 BPI) where a zero is represented by a
change in the signal and a one by no change.
NRZI is also used extensively in SDLC communications.
VTAM has a parameter NRZI=YES|NO.
Compare Phase Encoded, GCR.
