Field (Animation)

The area photographed by the camera.

Field (Athletics)

Participation area for field events.

Field (Camcorder)

Refers to half of the data contained in a picture frame, measured in lines. Two fields are necessary for one picture frame with data stored on alternating field lines.

Field (Coin Collecting)

The flat (or slightly curved) portion of a coin where there is no design.

Field (Cycling)

The main group of riders in a race.

Field (DVD)

A set of alternating scan lines in an interlaced video picture. A frame is made of a top (odd) field and a bottom (even) field.

Field (DVD and CD)

A set of alternating scan lines in an interlaced video picture. A frame is made of a top (odd) field and a bottom (even) field.

Field (Data Management)

In a computer file, a field is a set of digits read as one number. For example the digits 310599 could be divided into fields thus: 3,1,0,5,9,9 or thus: 31, 05, 99.

Field (Distance Learning)

Access points within a record that can be used to retrieve specific information by limiting or restricting the search. Usually abbreviated, frequently-used fields include: la = language; py = specific year(s); dt = specific document type such as research; jn = specific journal title; au = specific author.

Field (Dream)

To dream of dead corn or stubble fields, indicates to the dreamer dreary prospects for the future.
To see green fields, or ripe with corn or grain, denotes great abundance and happiness to all classes.
To see newly plowed fields, denotes early rise in wealth and fortunate advancement to places of honor.
To see fields freshly harrowed and ready for planting, denotes that you are soon to benefit by your endeavor and long struggles for success.
See Cornfields and Wheat.

Field (Ecology)

A place of dense, shorter plants, including shrubs and grasses. Because hardly any trees grow in a field, plants that need a lot of sunlight are able to grow. A farmer's field has only the plants that the farmer wants to grow; a wild field, such as a meadow, has many different plants and animals.

Field (Electric Motors)

A term commonly used to describe the stationary (Stator) member of a DC Motor. The field provides the magnetic field with which the mechanically rotating (Armature or Rotor) member interacts.

Field (Energy)

A geographical area under which a producing or prospective oil and/or natural gas reservoir lies.

Field (Gasoline)

The surface area above a petroleum formation.

Field (Golf)

All of the players in a tournament.

Field (HDTV)

In interlaced-scan video, each complete frame is split into 2 sequential fields, each of which contains half the scanning lines of the frame. One field contains the odd scanning lines, and the other field the even lines.

Field (Heraldry)

The surface of a shield upon which the charges or bearings are blazoned; or, of each separate coat when the shield is quartered or impaled.

Field (Horse Racing)

Horses that are grouped together as one wagering interest. If you wager on the field, you get all the runners entered in the field.

Field (Import Cars)

1. Generally, any area being affected by some physical force such as 2. Electrical force in the space around electrically charged particles. 3. The lines of force in a natural or man-made magnet between its north and south poles.

Field (Java)

A data member of a class. Unless specified otherwise, a field is not static.

Field (Mind)

A region of physical influence that interrelates and interconnects matter and energy. Fields are not a form of matter; rather matter is energy bound within fields.

Field (Multimedia)

An interlaced display is made using two fields, each one containing half of the scan lines needed to make up one frame of video. Each field is displayed in its entirety -- therefore, the odd field is displayed, then the even, then the odd, and so on. Fields only exist for interlaced scanning systems. So for (M) NTSC, which has 525 lines per frame, a field has 262.5 lines, and two fields make up a 525-line frame.

Field (NASCAR Racing)

Refers to the entire group of cars on the racetrack.

Field (Natural Gas)

The general area encompassed by one or more oil or gas reservoirs or pools that are located on a single geologic feature, that are otherwise closely related to the same geologic feature (either structural or stratigraphic). See POOL.

Field (Newton)

A place in a container view or input slip where a user can enter text-based data. See also Field Label, Input Area, and Input Line. Source: GH

Field (Oil)

The geographical area encompassing a group of one or more underground petroleum pools sharing the same or related infrastructure.

Field (Oil and Gasoline)

Area of oil and gas production with at least one common reservoir for the entire area.

Field (Research)

A particular area, as in a record in a database, in which the same type of information is regularly recorded. A field in an article database may contain the titles of articles, for example, while another field may contain the names of journals the articles are in. Some search engines allow a user to limit a search to one or more specific fields.

Field (Rugs)

The part of a rug's design surrounded by the border. The field may be blank or contain medallions or an over-all pattern.

Field (SCRA Sprint Car Racing)

The group of cars that starts a race or the total number of cars in attendance.

Field (Soccer)

The rectangular area where soccer matches are played.

Field (Technology)

1. A location in a record in which a particular type of data is stored. For example, EMPLOYEE-RECORD might contain fields to store Last-Name, First-Name, Address, City, State, Zip-Code, Hire-Date, Current-Salary, Title, Department, and so on. Individual fields are characterized by their maximum length and the type of data (for example, alphabetic, numeric, or financial) that can be placed in them. The facility for creating these specifications usually is contained in the data definition language (DDL). In relational database management systems, fields are called columns. 2. A space in an on-screen form where the user can enter a specific item of information.

Field (Television)

Either just the odd lines of an interlaced video image, or just the even lines. A field is technically half of the picture.

Field (Video)

One-half of a video field, comprising the odd or even scan lines. There are 60 fields in one second of video.

Field (Water Polo)

The water polo field is 20 to 30 meters between the goal lines and 10 to 20 meters wide. There are white buoys on each side of the pool to indicate the goal lines and the half-distance line. At each end of the pool, there are colored buoys denoting the 2-meter lines (red), 4-meter lines (yellow), and 7-meter lines (green). Water depth is a minimum of 1.8 meters, but 2 meters is the preferred depth. The playing area extends a minimum of .3 meters behind the goal lines at each end of the pool. See also goal.

Field (Wind Energy)
