carpal tunnel syndrome
(foldoc) | overuse strain injury
carpal tunnel syndrome
repetitive strain disorder
repetitive strain injury
tendinitis
tennis elbow
trigger finger
(Or "repetitive strain injury", RSI, "repetitive
strain disorder") Any tendon or muscle injury resulting from
overuse, usually in the hand, wrist, or arm. Injury may be
caused by any combination of repetitive, unacustomed, or
prolonged movements, forcefulness, or an awkward position
(often due to bad ergonomics). The symptoms are pain,
tingling, weakness, numbness, swelling, cracking, stiffness,
or reduced coordination.
Common conditions are:
Carpal tunnel syndrome, where swelling of the membrane linings
in your wrist surrounding the tendons that bend your fingers
compresses the median nerve. This may result in numbness and
pain in the hand, arm, shoulder, and neck.
Tennis elbow, where rotating your wrist and using force causes
a form of epicondylitis.
Tendinitis, where unacustomed exercise or repeated awkward
movements inflame wrist, elbow, or shoulder tendons, often
leading to severe stiffness.
Trigger finger, a popping or catching sensation when you bend
your finger, wrist, or shoulder. This form of tenosynovitis
is caused by repetitive hand movements.
To prevent the condition worsening, treat the pain with heat,
cold, or aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium; rest; or
immobilise the injured area with a splint or bandage. See a
doctor.

single electron tunneling
(foldoc) | Single Electron Tunneling
(SET) A New electrical standard for capacitance.
SET devices can be used to construct circuits which process
information by manipulating individual electrons. SET devices
are small, dissipate little power, and can detect exquisitely
small quantities of charge. The small size and low power
dissipation of SET circuits makes them potentially useful for
the Information Technology industry.

single electron tunneling technology
(foldoc) | Single Electron Tunneling Technology
A neural network hardware concept based on
single electron tunneling. {Single electron tunneling
transistors} have some properties which make them attractive
for neural networks, among which their small size, low power
consumption and potentially high speed.
Simulations have been performed on some small circuits of SET
transistors that exhibit functional properties similar to
those required for neural networks.

tunnelling
(foldoc) | tunnelling
(US: "tunneling") A networking technique used to
carry data encoded in one protocol, A, over a channel using
another protocol, B. Protocol A is said to be "encapsulated" in
protocol B and treats B as though it were a data link layer.
Tunnelling is used to get data between administrative domains
which use a protocol that is not supported by the internet
connecting those domains.
A historical example would be transmitting written text via {Morse
code} - instead of having someone carry the text on paper, it is
converted to (or encapsulated as) Morse code at one end and
converted back to written text at the other.
A more recent example would be tunnelling IPv6 over an IPv4
network that does not support IPv6 natively. Tunnelling
techniques such as 6to4 or 6rd are used to encapsulate IPv6
in the absence of native dual-stack support.
