Method by which a customer gains access to direct deliveries of gas from a supplier other than its traditional supplier. In the past, distributors have "bypassed" one pipeline by building an interconnect into another system. Industrial customers may "bypass" their local distributor by tapping directly into a pipeline. The ultimate bypass, according to some analysts, is when a company switches from gas to another fuel altogether.

A situation that allows a customer to purchase full or partial electricity or natural gas service from a non-utility supplier instead of a local distribution company.

The acquisition of gas service from an alternative source without using the facilities of the supplier/transporter that previously provided the service.

When an INPUT DEVICE (such as a motion sensor) is electronically neutralized so that a FAULT on that sensor does not trigger an OUTPUT DEVICE. In the case of a MOTION SENSOR, this allows the occupants to freely move about while the ALARM SYSTEM is ARMED.

To temporarily de-activate a portion of the input devices , so as not to trigger the alarm system while armed . This feature is usually used when a sensor is defective , or a window is intentionally left open .

Device which allows feeding of media (paper, etc.) which is not loaded in a cassette, drawer or elevator unit. Typically, bypass allows copying of occasional and exotic materials; index cards, transparencies, labels, etc. If the bypass allows multiple sheets it is described as the amount of sheets it holds (such as “50 sheet bypass”). It it allows only one sheet to be fed, it is described as “Sheet bypass.” If it is a smart bypass it is described as such, with the maximum sheet total also mentioned.

a device that allows people to quickly move themselves from point A to point B
