• Blade valve - valve consisting of a blade mounted on an axis at one end, the axis being rotated rapidly (typically by a fast acting solenoid) and the end of the blade away from the pipe cuts a pipe preventing flow; valve can be used to enable or disenable high pressure cryogenic flow through a pipe, and by mounting two blades on a shared axis, two supply fluids can be permitted or prevented with high synchronisation very rapidly as in a bootstrapping starter on a rocket engine; pipe is fitted with two spring-loaded annular rings which normally fit so tightly that leakage is prevented; blade separates the annuli so rapidly that leakage is extremely small, either on opening or closing
• Deployable Mesh Reflector Antennas for Space Applications Deployable antenna structures are required to generate the large apertures necessary for many space applications. Deployable mesh reflectors have been successfully used in telecommunications applications for several decades. The structures are lightweight and can be packaged in a compact form for launch. Once deployed, the antennas are rigid and can be built with surfaces accurate enough for Ka-band operation. Reflector mesh fabrics are available that are fine enough to be highly reflective at Ka-band, yet have relatively low mass. Space Antenna Handbook

• Half-wave filter. Generally intended for use as harmonic filters. The term comes from the characteristic of a lossless half-wave transmission line wheron the input impedance is the same as that of the load connected to it. An example would be two cascaded Pi or T LC sections, each of which provides a 90 deg phase shift and an impedance inversion. Cascaded, at the design frequency, in the lossless case, the filter provides a fixed input-output voltage ratio independent of load. Practical realizations may have different topology and include devices to protect the filter components from excessive voltage/current. More details available: jeaston@ucsd.edu.

Mechanical

• Pliant energy systems (Pliant Energy Systems is a private research company developing novel mechanical transducers with applications in the fields of energy harnessing, pumping, propulsion and marine robotics. This is my company, but I think the novelty of the technology we are developing will be of interest to the general population, since it is both technologically and visually interesting. I also think that our innovations in fluid dynamics, continuum mechanics and autonomy may be of interest to scientists and innovators in different fields.)

• Way oil - Aka. way lube: Oil made for lubricating machine tool ways. Mentioned in one section at Cutting fluid#Liquids:

  Way oil (the oil made for machine tool ways) works as a cutting oil. In fact, some screw machines are designed to use one oil as both the way oil and cutting oil. (Most machine tools treat way lube and coolant as separate things that inevitably mix during use, which leads to tramp oil skimmers being used to separate them back out.)

Energy and power

• Electric thermal energy storage (ETES) A term that is used often in the context of the storage-problem of electrical energy. I'm sure there is a need for it to be listed in wikipedia.
