A portion of a curved line; as, the arc of a circle or of an ellipse

A continuous section of any curve

The apparent arc described, above or below the horizon, by the sun or other celestial body

A curvature in the shape of a circular arc or an arch; as, the colored arc (the rainbow); the arc of Hadley's quadrant

A line connecting a set of points that may form one side of a polygon (see Chain and String)

AIDS-related complex A condition in which antibody tests for AIDS virus are positive and patients may exhibit enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and unexplained diarrhea, but do not have any of the more serious complications of AIDS

Abbreviation for Advance Reading Copy A copy of a book released in advance of the publication date, for the purpose of promotion and or review ARCs are usually sent to booksellers, to drum up advance orders, and to allow the bookseller to talk it up prior to release ARCs are usually in bound in wraps, typically with information on the cover or inside regarding intended date of release; promotional budget and other information intended to whet the appetite of the bookseller See: review copy Galley proof

A flow of current across an insulating medium; especially a hot, luminous discharge between either two electrodes or as lightning

A luminous bridge across the gap that occurs during energy discharge and melts away a small amount of material from the workpiece and/or electrode Sometimes incorrectly used to mean DC arc See also IONlZA TION

A luminous discharge of electrical current crossing the gap between two electrodes

The diurnal arc is described during the daytime, the nocturnal arc during the night

Allocation Review Committee Convened from time to time, the ARC reviews and makes recommendations to the Quality of Markets Committee with respect to the Exchange's policies and procedures for the allocation of listing securities to specialist units

A curve

A portion of the circumference of an oval bounded by a pair of radii joining at the oval's center Contrast a wedge, which includes part of the oval's interior Arcs and wedges are defined by the bounding rectangle that encloses the oval, along with a pair of angles marking the positions of the bounding radii Source: NPG

In an FSM, a path segment which does not repeat As opposed to a cycle In any FSM of finite size, every arc must eventually lead to a cycle

1 An ordered string of vertices (x,y coordinate pairs) that begins at one location and ends at another Connecting the arc's vertices creates a line The vertices at each endpoint of an arc are called nodes 2 An ARC/INFO coverage feature class used to represent linear features and polygon boundaries One line feature can contain many arcs Arcs are topologically linked to nodes (arc-node topology) and to polygons (polygon-arc topology) The descriptive attributes of arcs are stored in the arc attribute table (AAT) 3 A line connecting a set of points that form one side of a polygon

To move following a curved path

electrical conduction through a gas in an applied electric field

To form an electrical arc

A line that connects two nodes in a state-space graph A line may represent an event in which the system transitions from state "a" to state "b" (or the trivial case of state "a" to state "a") A line may also represent the interval of time that elapses between the occurrence of two events (denoted by a node)

1) A luminous glow formed by the flow of electric current through ionized air, gas, or vapor between separate electrodes or contacts 2) A portion of the circumference of a circle

A connection between nodes in the vector GIS model

Describes a ball path from foul line to headpin that does not have a sharp, defined break point

Sparking that results when undesirable current flows between two points of differing potential This may be due to leakage through the intermediate insulation or a leakage path due to contamination

Segment of a circle or ellipse, sometimes used to describe part of the boundary of a letterform

{i} curve, part of a circle

a word made from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality and Communication, which together equate to Understanding It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R-C To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as, "He was in ARC with his friend " One does not, however, fall out of ARC; he has an ARC break See also ARC break

An ordered string of vertices (x, y coordinate pairs) that begin at one location and end at another Connecting the arc’s vertices creates a line The vertices at each endpoint of an arc are called nodes

A string of x,y coordinate pairs (vertices) that begin at one location and end at another Connecting the arc's vertices creates a line

A chain of volcanoes (volcanic arc) that sometimes forms on the land when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and then slides down underneath it (subduction)

An intense luminous discharge formed by the passage of an electric current across a space between two electrodes See also streamer

a continuous portion of a circle

To form a voltaic arc, as an electrical current in a broken or disconnected circuit

1) a luminous glow formed by the flow of electric current through ionized air, gas, or vapor between separated electrodes or contacts 2) a portion of the circumference of a circle

Any portion of a circle, such as those found in an archway or curved wall

An arc is a smoothly curving line or movement. The Aleutian chain is a long arc of islands in the North Pacific
