Point

A distinct proposition or Question of Law arising or propounded in a case. In the case of shares of stock, a point means $1. In the case of bonds a point means $10, since a bond is quoted as a percentage of $1,000. In the case of market averages, the word point means merely that and no more. If, for example, the Dow-Jones Industrial Average rises from 8,349.25 to 8,350.25, it has risen a point. A point in this average, however, is not equivalent to $1.

With respect to the home mortgage finance industry, a fee or charge of one percent of the principal of the loan that is collected by the lender at the time the loan is made and is in addition to the constant long-term stated interest rate on the face of the loan.

POINT, practice. A proposition or question arising in a case.
2. It is the duty of a judge to give an opinion on every point of law, properly arising out of the issue, which is propounded to him. Vide Resolution.

We believe that the eight technology transition points we identified represent the first tentative view from a technology perspective on what Phelps, Adams, and Bessant (2007) referred to as "transition points." The technology transition points we identified are organizational or contextual discontinuities that can be related to the priorities set by CTOs.

Dynamic technology leadership: the adaptive role of the CTO: effective CTOs have a wide array of evolving priorities that relate to technology transition points that can be either imposed by the external environment or initiated from within the organization

In the following equations, D is the temperature in degrees at time H, and [D.sub.x] is the temperature at the transition point, [H.sub.x], where [H.sub.x] is determined by testing all time points from 1 h after the maximum to 1 h before the minimum.

patagoniensis, based on allometry studies, were established between 7.8 and 7.9 mm CW for males (obtained by transition points for the growth of chelae), and between 7.9 and 8.3 mm CW for females (obtained by transition points for the growth of the abdomen).

The case (C2) is when the BMC contains more than one possible transition point for a demand time series, but one of transition points has an expressed appearance frequency f An appearance frequency may be stated as expressed if it exceeds some threshold, like 50%.

More often than not, lifters can be observed letting the weight fall effortlessly as they approach the transition point, and then bouncing the weight to use some momentum to help raise the weight.

Liquid hydrogen exists only at temperatures higher than 20[degrees]K, and the superconductivity transition point would have to be substantially higher than that to make it completely useful in a liquid hydrogen bath.

Under the ROR agreement, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Exelixis will collaborate on ROR antagonist programmes up to a pre-clinical transition point and then Bristol-Myers Squibb will have sole responsibility for the further research, development, manufacture and commercialisation.

Stills are recorded: three stills, one after another, in about 30 s, the sets of three being repeated every 2-3 min, starting a little before the expected transition point. Samples of the reaction mass are drawn from the reactor at this exact point.
