stabilization
(chemical engineering) A petroleum-refinery process for separating light gases from petroleum or gasoline, thus leaving a stable (less volatile) liquid so that it can be handled or stored with less change in composition.
(control systems) compensation
(electronics) Feedback introduced into vacuum tube or transistor amplifier stages to reduce distortion by making the amplification substantially independent of electrode voltages and tube constants.
(electromagnetism) Treatment of a magnetic material to improve the stability of its magnetic properties.
(engineering) Maintenance of a desired orientation independent of the roll and pitch of a ship or aircraft.
