Entertainment Cartridges: (pag. 90) "... he wants the living room's teleputer booted and warmed up and the evening's entertainment cartridges already selected and arranged and lined up in dock ready for remote insertion into the viewer's drive."

Electronic Recliner: (pag. 90) "He reclines before the viewer in his special electronic recliner, and his black-veiled, ethnically Arab wife wordlessly attends him, loosening any constrictive clothing, adjusting the room's lighting, fitting the complexly molded dinner tray over his head so that his shoulders support the tray and allow it to project into space just below his chin, that he may enjoy his hot dinner without having to remove his eyes from whatever entertainment is up and playing."

Pump room and "The Lung": (pag. 131) "... getting covertly high in the Enfield Tennis Academy's underground Pump Room and exhaling palely into an industrial exhaust fan." ... (pag. 132) "The Academy's tennis courts' Lung's Pump Room is underground and accessible only by tunnel. E.T.A. is abundantly, embranchingly tunnelled. This is by design." ...(pag. 139)" in turn connected to E.T.A.'s Lung-Storage and -Pump Rooms via a pargeted tunnel constructed by the TesTar All-Weather Inflatable Structures Corp., which together with the folks over at ATHSCME Industrial Air Displacement Devices erects and services the inflatable dendriurethane dome, known as the Lung, that covers the middle row of courts for the winter indoor season."

Contatore Geiger: inventato nel 1913 da Hans Wilhelm Geiger da cui prende il nome, è uno strumento che misura radiazioni di tipo ionizzante. Il termine "contatore" è riferito all'attività di conteggio delle radiazioni assorbite dallo strumento. Esse vengono rilevate come singoli fotoni, e fisicamente conteggiati e segnalati tramite l'emissione di un caratteristico segnale acustico.

Ciclotrone: Composto dalle parole ciclo e -trone  (dal Greco "-tron", suffisso utilizzato per indicare uno strumento). E' un dispositivo che accelera particelle cariche su orbite circolari mediante particolari configurazioni di campi elettromagnetici.

Magnetometro: Composto dalle parole magneto (dal Greco "magnétes líthos", cioè "pietra di Magnesia", località dell'Asia Minore nota per gli ingenti depositi di magnetite) e metro (dal Greco "misurare") è uno strumento utilizzato per misurare l'intensità del campo magnetico.

Lettura scelta

Sono uno studente di dottorato in fisica presso il Politecnico di Torino. Mi occupo dello studio di transizioni di fase di tipo quantistico a temperature prossime allo zero assoluto. Come lettura ho scelto Infinite Jest di David Foster Wallace.
