offbeam

A Diagram of neuronal circuitry and positions of extracellular microelectrodes (EME) for recording from stellate ceils ($7), intracellular microelectrodes (IME) for recording from Purkinje cells (PC), two local stimulating electrodes (LSE 1 and LSE 2) for stimulating parallel fibers (PF), offbeam and onbeam respectively.

The first category ensures that the antenna sidelobe patterns are held to close tolerances to limit offbeam power densities and that the frequencies are chosen with due regard to the positions and levels of intermodulation products.

We have an Italian fellow in our outfit, who fought for Mussolini in the Ethiopian war. Obviously, to anyone but the examining board, that is, he's offbeam.
