A more or less distinct transfer of a printed page or picture to the opposite page, when the pages are pressed together before the ink is dry or when it is poor; an unitended transfer of an image from one page to another; called also setoff.

See offset printing.

(also called offset litho[graphy]) a printing process so called because the plate does not print directly onto the paper (as in most other processes), but onto an intermediate cylinder covered with a rubber blanket, from which the ink is transferred onto the paper; this is the more common form of lithography (the other is ‘direct lithography’): because the image is offset onto an intermediate medium, the paper does not come into contact with water

In printing the process of transferring an image from the image carrier (plate) to the substrate through an intermediate rubber blanket cylinder. Also see set-off.

Elimination or reduction of a current long or short position by making an opposite...

1 - To remove a position from an account by establishing a position opposite an existing position, making or taking delivery, or exercising an option (i.e., selling if one has bought, or buying if one has sold). 2 - To report reductions of a firm's inventory of open long purchase dates to CME Clearing.

Closing out a long or short position by making an opposite transaction.

Selling of the same option or futures contract originally purchased or buying of the same option or futures contract originally sold so that one is flat.

A short distance measured at right angles from a line actually run to some point in an irregular boundary, or to some object.

Lateral distance at ground plane between point of intersection of steering axis and wheel plane.

The position of the backside of the wheel center section with respect to the centerline of the rim. If the center is closer to the back of the wheel, is has "negative" offset. If the center is closer to the outside face or front of the wheel, it has "posi

The distance between the edge of one shingle course and the edge of the next successive shingle course.

The relationship between the clubhead and the shaft in which the clubhead is set off the line - or slightly behind the shaft. Offset clubs promote getting the hands through the impact zone ahead of the club. A game-improvement feature in club design.

a clubhead where the leading edge is set back from the shaft, or the amount of such a setting back. Example: "She played with offset irons." or "The driver had a 10° offset."

A club with a head that is set back from the hosel, putting the hands further in front to help square the club at impact.

The position of the hosel relative to the leading edge, or forward-most edge on the sole of a club. The offset is the distance that the hosel sits in front of the leading edge of the club, and it allows the average player slightly more time to square the clubface to target before impact.

A constant and steady state of deviation of the measured variable from the set point.

A sustained deviation of the controlled variable from setpoint. Offset is caused by load changes and is inherent in the use of proportional controllers that do not incorporate reset action.

A sustained deviation of the controlled variable from setpoint (this characteristic is inherent in proportional controllers that do not incorporate reset action). Also referred to as Droop.

A fixed difference between the controller setpoint and the actual control point of a system under stable operating conditions.

A short prostrate shoot, which takes root and produces a tuft of leaves, etc. See Illust. of Houseleek.

n. A short, often prostrate, shoot originating near the ground at the base of another shoot.

A lateral shoot or branch which develops from the base of the main stem in certain plants. Many bulbs produce offsets from their bases.

A short lateral shoot, ending in a erect bud, and arising at or near the base of the plant.

An abrupt bend in an object, as a rod, by which one part is turned aside out of line, but nearly parallel, with the rest; the part thus bent aside.

Two 45 degree conduit bends; used when conduit must bypass an obstacle or when making a connection into an enclosure.

Perpendicular interval; to parallel and continue a preceding course, line or boundary.

(1) terminology referring to the end of a job (process). (2) a bend.

In general, that which is set off, from, before, or against, something

A sum, account, or value set off against another sum or account, as an equivalent; hence, anything which is given in exchange or retaliation; a set-off.

To set off; to place over against; to balance; as, to offset one account or charge against another.

To set one amount against another, such as a loss against a profit or a repayment against a liability.

See Resource Offset. [D01102

See "Counterproof".

(see: Synchronization).

See mismatch.

The young plant that grows from a bud of the parent plant.

A young plantlet which appears on a mature plant. An offset can generally be detached and used for propagation.

a horizontal branch from the base of plant that produces new plants from buds at its tips

Small bulbs attached to parent bulbs or small rooted pieces of hardy plants that are generally detached for propagation.

In relative addressing methods, a number that tells how far from a starting point a particular item is located. For example, in the search for a specific data item stored within a known area (segment) of memory, an offset is used to tell the microprocessor how many bytes past the beginning of the segment the item is located. Using an offset is similar to saying “The loose stair is the fifth one from the bottom.

When defining a pattern match within a filter using Network Monitor, the number of bytes from the beginning of the frame where the pattern occurs in a frame.

The number of bytes from the beginning of a segment to a particular byte within that segment.
