The word terminator is from Latin and means roughly the finisher.- In astronomy, the terminator is the line between the day side and the night side of a planetary body (also known as the "grey line"). Examination of the terminator can yield information about the surface of the body; for example, a fuzzy terminator indicates the presence of an atmosphere. On Earth, sunrise and sunset are the result of passing through the terminator each day.
- In genetics, a terminator marks the end of a gene on the DNA for transcription.
- The Terminator is an American motion picture involving a cyborg that has been sent back through time to "terminate" or kill a woman whose life will have importance in the future.
- In electronics, a resistor at the end of a transmission lineA transmission line is the material medium or structure that forms all or part of a path from one place to another for directing the transmission of energy, such as electric currents, magnetic fields, acoustic waves, or electromagnetic waves. Examples of or daisy chainThe elementary meaning of daisy chain is a garland created from the daisy flower, generally as a children's game. Daisies are picked and a hole is made towards the base of the stem, generally by piercing with fingernails. The stem of the next flower can b busThis article is about the form of transport. See computer bus or electrical bus for the use of the term in computing and electronics respectively, or places like Bus, Pas-de-Calais and Bus-Saint-Remy. The Bus, established by Mayor Frank Fasi, is Honolulu' (such as in SCSISCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface , and is a standard interface for transferring data between devices on a computer bus. SCSI is pronounced "scuzzy" when spoken aloud, while occasional attempts to promulgate the more flattering pronunciation), designed to match impedanceIn electrical engineering, impedance is a measure for the manner and degree a component resists the flow of electrical current if a given voltage is applied. It is denoted by the symbol Z and is measured in ohms. Impedance differs from simple resistance i and hence minimize reflections of the signal. There are also active terminators which contain a circuitThere are many kinds of circuit An electric circuit interconnects electrical elements. Examples in electronics include printed circuits integrated circuits digital circuits Series and parallel circuits Telecommunication circuits A sport circuit is a close to perform the same basic function.
- A terminator gene is used in some genetically engineered crops to prevent collection and resowing of seed.
- In the Warhammer 40,000Genestealer Warhammer 40,000 (informally known as "Warhammer 40K") is a tabletop miniature wargame, produced by the British gaming company Games Workshop. The first edition of the game was published in 1987. The man responsible for creating the original r universe, Terminator or Tactical Dreadnaught power armor enables the wearer to take massive damage and fire large weapons while moving.
