The French word baguette has several meanings that are not related to each other. Only based on the context of the phrase, you can understand whether it is about an artistic baguette, a French baguette or the baguette that is used in military technology.
Instructions
Step 1
From French, the word baguette is translated as a stick. It is in the form of sticks since the twenties of the last century in France that bakers have been producing the freshest loaves with a crispy crust. French baguettes have long become a kind of symbol of the country and spread throughout the world. The classic baguette loaf is made from wheat flour, yeast, salt and water, lightly sprinkled with flour on top. It can be slightly damp on the inside, but always crispy on the outside. Pumpkin seeds are added to rustic baguettes, and spikelet baguettes stand out with a pigtail of dough over a loaf.
Step 2
In art workshops, baguettes are blanks for making picture frames or decorating walls. Most often, baguettes are made of wood, mainly pine, less often of aluminum or plastic (polystyrene). A spectacular decoration of any baguette is its finish. It depends on the imagination of the master and can be either a thin golden profile or massive stucco molding made of blackened silver. Often, baguettes are finished with veneer or suede. And sometimes the edges of the baguette are simply covered with stain or varnish, so that the natural material of the product is visible.
Step 3
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation uses the domestic operating system Baguette 3.0, created according to world standards, based on the ARINC 653 specification and the POSIX 1003.1 standard. It is a real-time system that provides mobility, controllability, scheduling during operation, and includes real-time timers and signals. It is designed to work with UNIX-systems and their unification. Baguette 3.0 features improved features such as synchronization of semaphores and events, data transfer both within and across channels, error handling in the user mode of the processor.
Step 4
The term "baguette" has several more highly specialized meanings in the field of equestrian sports and gemology - the science of precious stones. So, a baguette is called a semicircle made of metal or plastic, which the rider holds in his hand, standing on a running horse, and through which he jumps like through a hoop. Jewelery cutters call baguette one of the stepped cut types that result in a rectangular shape of the stone.
