In law, adjournment is the postponement of the hearing of a case for later consideration. If a hearing is adjourned sine die ('without day') it is postponed for an indefinite period. If a party requests an adjournment, the court may find the costs of the adjournment have been unnecessarily incurred and make an order for costs against that party.

Factory (from factor), is a name which appears originally to have been given to establishments of merchants and factors (agents) resident in foreign countries; it now signifies a place in which the various processes of a particular manufacture are carried on simultaneously. The rapid growth of factories in this sense is a comparatively recent development of industry, resulting from the free use of machinery and the consequent subdivision of labour sine the late 18th century. Amongst the advantages of the factory system are generally counted: increased productivity arising from the minute division of labour; the mechanical accuracy, and the cheapness of the product turned out by machinery (mass production); the facilities for union and co-operation for common improvement afforded by bringing large masses of workmen together. But this last consideration is probably more than counterbalanced by the smaller amount of independent intelligence called forth in the individual worker, through the monotony of the minutely subdivided operations. Since the 19th century the disadvantages of the factory system have been recognised, and were originally cited as the unhealthiness of the crowded rooms, and the increasing demand on the labour of women and children, which was perceived as interfering with the economy of domestic life. This last issue was sought to be redressed by factory acts, first passed in the late 18th century.

Originally sine was another word to describe a gulf or a bay, as in 'The Persian Sine', today its use is more limited to its trigonometry variation which describes the straight line drawn from one extremity of an arc perpendicular to the diameter passing through the other extremity.

The exact relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction were discovered by Willibrod Snell, professor of mathematics at Leyden University in 1621. Law 1 states: The incident and refracted rays are on opposite sides of the normal at the point of incidence and all three are in the same plane. Law 2 (Snell's Law) states: The ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant.
