Breeding blanket
TECHNICAL TERM
Lithium blanket; Fusion blanket
The tritium breeding blanket (also known as a fusion blanket, lithium blanket or simply blanket), is a key part of many proposed fusion reactor designs. It serves several purposes; one is to act as a cooling mechanism, absorbing the energy from the neutrons produced within the plasma by the nuclear fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium (D-T), another is to "breed" further tritium fuel, that would otherwise be difficult to obtain in sufficient quantities, through the reaction of neutrons with lithium in the blanket.
blanket bog
Blanket Bog; Blanket Mire; Blanket mire; Blanket peat; Featherbed bog
¦ noun an extensive flat peat bog formed in cool regions of high rainfall or humidity.
lossy
DATA COMPRESSION APPROACH THAT RESULTS IN LOSS OR CHANGE OF SOME DATA
Lossy; Lossy encoding; Lossy data compression; Data compression/lossy; List of lossy compression methods; Irreversible compression
<algorithm> A term describing a data compression algorithm
which actually reduces the amount of information in the data,
rather than just the number of bits used to represent that
information. The lost information is usually removed because
it is subjectively less important to the quality of the data
(usually an image or sound) or because it can be recovered
reasonably by interpolation from the remaining data.
MPEG and JPEG are examples of lossy compression
techniques.
Opposite: lossless.

Hudson's Bay point blanket
A Hudson's Bay point blanket is a type of wool blanket traded by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in British North America, now Canada and the United States from 1779 to present. The blankets were typically traded to First Nations in exchange for beaver pelts as an important part of the North American fur trade. The blankets continue to be sold by Canada's Hudson's Bay department stores and have come to hold iconic status in the country.
