form: overboosted
Etymology: From over- + boost.
Senses: examples: text: It makes sense to provide plausible engine fuel and ignition mapping to the limits of the factory fuel injectors, which would typically be sized sufficiently large to provide optimal fuel to the airflow/boost limits of the stock turpocharger even though the wastegate should normally prevent the engine from boosting so high. This is because the engine can overboost if the wastegate manifold-pressure reference line is cut (melted, crushed, disconnected, and so on), and a "safe" calibration -- even in forbidden overboost territory -- is one more countermeasure designed to help avoid engine damage from lean mixtures if the engine does overboost if fuel cut strategies fail.

ref: 2004, Jeff Hartman, How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems, →ISBN, page 86:
text: These planes all have popoff valves, designed to prevent overboost, but the flow dynamics are such that manifold pressure can seriously overshoot redline before the popoff valve opens.
ref: 2013, Kas Thomas, Fly the Engine: Second Edition, →ISBN:
text: A manifold pressure overboost control is usually employed to reduce the possibility of overboost occurring. However, when overboost occurs, combustion temperatures rise, and detonation or preignition may result and cause serious structural damage to the engine.
ref: 1970, United States Department of the Army, General Aircraft Maintenance Manual, page 7:
glosses: The process of overboosting.

text: Transflection is an extension of the transmission technique, as shown in Figure 4.10. When a mirror is placed behind the sample, the light transmitted through the sample is reflected back through the sample and into the diffuse reflectance probe or integrating sphere. Transflection thus measures a combination of transmission and reflection. This technique is useful for emulsions, gels, and turbid liquids.
ref: 2008, Massimo Conio, Pieter Siersema, Alessandro Repici, Endoscopic Mucosal Resection, →ISBN, page 79:
text: Individual cells may also be deposited onto a CaF2 window support, but perhaps the more practical and most appropriate (in terms of its match to cytological practices) method nowadays is to use a low-e glass slide and record a transflection spectrum, see next section.
