  11. In geology the term compression refers to a set of stresses directed toward the center of a rock mass. Compressive strength refers to the maximum compressive stress that can be applied to a material before failure occurs. ...
  12. Dynamic range compression, also called DRC (often seen in DVD and car CD player settings) or simply compression, is a process that reduces the dynamic range of an audio signal, that is, narrows the difference between high and low audio levels or volumes. ...
  13. to increase in density; the act of compressing, or the state of being compressed; compaction; the cycle of an internal combustion engine during which the fuel and air mixture is compressed; the process by which data is compressed; the electronic process by which any sound's gain is ...
  14. (compress) A multiply folded piece of cloth, a pouch of ice etc., used to apply to a patient's skin, cover the dressing of wounds, and placed with the aid of a bandage to apply pressure on an injury; A machine for compressing; To make smaller; to press or squeeze together, or to make something ...
  15. (Compress) The act of discarding redundant or semi-redundant information from a file, thereby making it smaller.
  16. (compress) vb. To reduce the size of a set of data, such as a file or a communications message, so that it can be stored in less space or transmitted with less bandwidth. ...

  23. (Compress) Reduce the size of a file (a piece of electronic data) so that it takes up less physical space on a computer disk, to facilitate more efficient storage, transfer or movement of the data (file) over a computer network.
  24. (Compress) Store data in such a way that the file size is reduced.
  25. (Compress) This is a way of making a FILE smaller (known as “Zipping” a file) so it doesn't take up as much MEMORY or HARD DRIVE space. Most compression software, like Win Zip, compresses a file by deleting redundant information. ...
