Shifting colors
| Морской словарь |
When a british or united states warship is at anchor or on moorings it flies its national ensign on the flagstaff (ensign staff ) at the stern and its union jack on the jackstaff at the prow. as soon as the ship gets under way, both are struck while a sailing (or steaming) ensign is simultaneously hoisted to the gaff (a spar projecting diagonally from the mainmast). the ensign is struck when out of sight of land, but raised to the gaff when falling in with other ships, cruising near land, or going into battle. the switch from one configuration to the other is known as “shifting colors.” the practice began in the late 18th century, when a loose-footed spanker sail on the mizzenmast was replaced by a gaffsail whose horizontal boom projected beyond the taffrail. this spar would have broken the ensign staff when it swung, so the latter was struck when getting under way. the practice continued in the usn as a matter of custom long after the practical need disappeared. colors are also switched in the rn, but nowadays in a slightly different manner. in peacetime, only the jack is struck when getting under way. with no gaffsail boom to worry about, the ensign normally remains on the ensign staff while at sea, only being switched to the gaff in wartime, during foul weather, or when clearing for action. however, if the ship has a helicopter landing pad or asw mortars on its stern an ensign staff would impede their operation. in this case, colors are switched and the ensign staff is struck as soon as the vessel is under way.

Color, английский
- Цвет; цветовой
- N амер. цвет (см. тж. colour)
- A diamond’s tint. color is determined by comparing each diamond to a set of authenticated master diamonds scaled from colorless (d) to saturated (z).
- Diamond ‘color’ is graded on a scale from d (colorless) to z (light yellow or brown). a diamond graded as colorless allows more light to pass through the stone making it sparkle more and increases the overall value.
- Description or class in which body coat color and pattern, not conformation is a deciding factor (e.g., palomino, dun factor, etc.).
- An attribute of an object that produces different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.
- Vision sensation by means of which humans distinguish light of differing hue (predominant wavelengths), saturation (degree to which those radiations predominate over others), and lightness.
- Зрительное ощущение, с помощью которого люди различают свет разного оттенка (преобладающих длин волн), насыщенности (степени, в которой эти излучения преобладают над другими) и легкости.
- Visual sensation by means of which humans distinguish light of differing hue (predominant wavelengths), saturation (degree to which those radiations predominate over others) and lightness.
- Aspect of visible light sometimes used to identify wavelength or spectral band, as in two-color radiometry (meaning a method that measures in two spectral bands); also used conventionally (visual color) as a means of displaying a thermal image, as in color thermogram.3
- Visual sensation by means of which humans distinguish light of differing hue (predominant wavelengths), saturation (degree to which those radiations predominate over others) and lightness. see also vision.

Color balance, английский
- The accuracy with which the colors captured in the image match the original scene.
- The color balance of a film refers to the kind of light under which it will faithfully render color without the need for filters. most films are daylight-balanced, which means that in daylight, or with a daylight balanced flash, colors will be true. a tungsten-balanced film can be used under certain types of artificial light to give true colors without filters or special printing techniques.
- A feature that lets the user change the overall color and tonal values of an image or object through three parameters: source lighting, saturation, and color balance.

- The term configuration is used to refer to the particular values of a subset of attributes in a model, such as a bayesian network or neural network. these are usually being treated in this context as inputs or constraints on the model.
- Administrative options that control the interface and functionality of the service desk and support portal.
- In reference to a single microcomputer, the sum of a system’s internal and external components, including memory, disk drives, keyboard, video, and generally less critical add-on hardware, such as a mouse, modem, or printer. software (the operating system and various device drivers), the user’s choices established through configuration files such as the autoexec.bat and config.sys files on ibm pcs and compatibles, and sometimes hardware (switches and jumpers) are needed to configure the configuration’ to work correctly. although system configuration can be changed
- The arrangement of parts, options, or features to produce a product that meets a specification, such as a customer order.

Horizontal, английский
- Горизонталь; горизонтальный
- Горизонталь; горизонтальный 287
- At right angles to the direction of gravity; on the level; parallel to the horizon; neither vertical nor inclined.
- A direction parallel to the horizon, or what is commonly termed lying flat. one of the greatest inconveniences navigators have to struggle with is the frequent want of a distinct sight of the horizon. to obviate this a horizontal spinning speculum was adopted by mr. lerson, who was lost in the victory man-of-war, in which ship he was sent out to make trial of his instrument. this was afterwards improved by smeaton, and consists of a well-polished metal speculum about 3-1/2 inches in diameter, inclosed within a circular rim of brass, so fitted that the centre of gravity of the whole shall fall near the point on which it spins. this is the end of a steel axis running through the centre of the speculum, above which it finishes in a square for the convenience of fitting a
