As regards the noun sense, compare Middle English shunt (“swerve; sudden jerk”), derived from the verb.

cog

The method of running an electric motor herein set out, which consists in starting the motor with the two halves of its armature in series with a resistance in a two-pole field, then gradually cutting out the resistance, then including the resistance and shunting one-half the motor, then opening the circuit of the shunted half and throwing the two halves of the motor in multiple in a four-pole field, and finally, cutting out the resistance.

kludge

Perhaps from British military slang, possibly based on a Scots word kludge or kludgie (“common toilet”), or perhaps from German klug (“clever”). Alternatively, possibly related to Polish klucz (“a key, a hint, a main point”) and Russian ключ (ključ, “key, clue”).

There is evidence that kluge (which see) was once a separate word with similar meaning but separate derivation, but the spelling kludge was widely popularized in the US by a 1962 Datamation article on "How to Design a Kludge", and since then the two words have often been used as alternative spellings of each other.

evanescent

en-adj

evanescent (comparative more evanescent, superlative most evanescent)

more evanescent (comparative)
most evanescent (superlative)

Borrowed from French évanescent (“evanescent”), from Latin ēvānēscēns (“disappearing, vanishing”), present participle of ēvānēscō (“to disappear, vanish; to die out, fade away; to lapse”), from ē- (variant of ex- (prefix meaning ‘away, out’)) + vānēscō (“to vanish”) (from vānus (“empty, vacant, void”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weh₂- (“to abandon, leave”)) + -ēscō (suffix forming verbs with the sense ‘to become’)).

намаляващ

disappearing, vanishing — see also disappearing, vanishing

Consequently, the electromagnetic fields have plane-wave characteristics in local regions, except immediately adjacent to a caustic where there is a rapid transition from the wavelike behavior of the local plane-wave fields to the evanescent behavior beyond the ray path.

1983, Allan W[hitenack] Snyder, John D[avid] Love, “Rays and Local Plane Waves”, in Optical Waveguide Theory (Science Paperbacks; 190), London, New York, N.Y.: Chapman & Hall, →ISBN; republished Boston, Mass., Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2000, →ISBN, section 35—4 (Component Equations of the Ray-path Equation), page 671:

The analyte directly affects the optical properties of a waveguide, such as evanescent waves (electromagnetic waves generated in the medium outside the optical waveguide when light is reflected from within) or surface plasmons (resonances induced by an evanescent wave in a thin film deposited on a waveguide surface).

2015, Yitzhak Mendelson, “Optical Sensors”, in Joseph D. Bronzino, Donald R. Peterson, editors, Medical Devices and Human Engineering (Biomedical Engineering Handbook; 2), 4th edition, Boca Raton, Fla.: CRC Press, →ISBN, section I (Biomedical Sensors), page 6-1:

Fourier transform

en-noun

Fourier transform (plural Fourier transforms)

Named after French mathematician and physicist Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, who initiated the study of what is now harmonic analysis.

Fourier transforms are not limited to acting on functions of time, but the domain of the original function is commonly called the time domain.

The Fourier transform of a function of time is a complex function of frequency, whose magnitude (absolute value) represents the amount of that frequency present in the original function, and whose argument is the phase offset of the basic sinusoid in that frequency.

Since a separate integration is needed to give each point of the transformed function, the process would become extremely tedious if it were to be attempted manually and many ingenious devices have been invented for preforming Fourier transforms mechanically, electrically, acoustically and optically.

2002, J. F. James, A Student's Guide to Fourier Transforms, 2nd edition, Cambridge University Press, page 116:

2005, Emmanuel Letellier, Fourier Transforms of Invariant Functions on Finite Reductive Lie Algebras, Springer, Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1859, page 1,
The trigonometric sums of 𝒢^F are thus (up to a scalar) the Fourier transforms of the characteristic functions of the G^F!!-orbits of 𝒢^F.

2012, David Brandwood, Fourier Transforms in Radar and Signal Processing, Artech House, 2nd Edition, page 1,
The Fourier transform is a valuable theoretical technique, used widely in fields such as applied mathematics, statistics, physics, and engineering.

→? English: handy

Some sources claim the existence of an early English preform. Perhaps from English handie-talkie, apparently used as a Motorola product name based on walkie-talkie. Or perhaps derived from English handheld transceiver, coined by CB radio users, later informally applied to the first mobile phones, and soon found in product names.
Others assert the use for a phone is exclusively German, possibly as a short form of Handfunktelefon, as which it was marketed by firms like Bosch and Hagenuk. Thus equivalent to an anglicisation of Hand (“hand”) + -i (diminutive suffix).

Alle paar Minuten hängt er am Handy und macht Termine klar.

1994 May 11, Ralf Schlüter, “Stimmungen frei Hand”, in Berliner Zeitung:

Every few minutes he's on his cell phone arranging appointments.

Bluetooth ist eine drahtlose Kommunikationstechnologie. Der Ursprung dieser Technologie liegt im Jahre 1994, als die Firma Ericsson eine Alternative zu Kabeln für die Verbindung ihrer Handys zum Zubehör wie Headsets suchte.

2008, Ulrich Breymann, Heiko Mosemann, Java me, Hanser Verlag, →ISBN, page 283:

Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology. This technology originated in 1994, when Ericsson was looking for an alternative to cables for connecting their cell phones to accessories like headsets.

Der Kunde hält sein Handy zum Bezahlen einfach an ein Lesegerät und der Betrag wird von seinem Konto abgebucht.

2009, Ernst Stahl, E-Commerce-Leitfaden, ibi research, →ISBN, page 123:

To pay, the customer just holds his cell phone up to a reader and the amount is deducted from his account.

uplead

When the capacity at the top has been made so large compared with the effective capacity of the uplead that the current in the latter is sensibly uniform, the length of that current is sensibly the full height h of the uplead, which is the greatest available height with the given masts.

1921, L. B. Turner, Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony:

Effectively, the downlead and uplead for an individual sensor in the simple array becomes the downlead and uplead for a ladder in the subarray.

1997, L.S. Grattan, Optical Fiber Sensor Technology: Devices and Technology, page 137:

Imagine the feelings of a very young engineer when required to measure the impedance of this vast aerial system with a “tuned circuit substitution” measuring set which looked minute compared with the 12-ft-diameter aerial uplead, which required a gang to move i to the measuring set.

ZF

In the case of the ZF detector, we suppress the interference among the transmit streams by multiplying the received signal vector y with the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse of the channel matrix […]

2008, Byeong Gi Lee, Sunghyun Choi, Broadband Wireless Access and Local Networks:

However, due to its simplicity, ZF equalization is a good choice when the channel is known and fixed, and also when there is no frequency notch in the channel frequency response […]

2010, Dayan Adionel Guimaraes, Digital Transmission, page 348:

Thus, the importance of the upper bound is in showing that even in the most optimistic case, the achievable rate cannot exceed the ZF rates by more than 10%.
