Oscillator

An oscillator is an HFOV.
2. An oscillator is a medical device used in the hospital when a conventional ventilator isn't working, and/or the patient's lungs are to fragile to tollerate opening, and closing. It shoots several hundred breaths per minute into the patient's lungs at very small puffs, so the lungs can rest, and they don't have to open and close, and while they are resting, the patient is still being ventilated.
1. Is he on his oscillator?
2. Yes.
3. He's on the Sensormedics 3100A Oscillator.
4. All right.

My oscillator is so thick you have to use a torch. No way a bic lighter will work.

Shallow Oscillator

A person, typically on the internet, that easily and hastily changes their political and/or religious beliefs depending on what is popular and fashionable at the time. The reason for the name is to point out that the people are both shallow for lacking any real beliefs and are able to oscillate to another belief, likely and/or eventually to another.
Many people that occupy the political sphere in online politics nowadays can be correctly labeled as shallow oscillators.

Unijunction Transistor Relaxation Oscillator

Part of a circuit formed with a unijunction transistor and a capacitor. It creates a triangle wave and can be used as a timer instead of a 555 timer.

Why exactly you would look up this "smart" thing on urban dictionary is a long mystery.
He used a Unijunction Transistor relaxation Oscillator to create a flashing light to annoy his friends while they slept.

Polarity Oscillation Orbit

The hyper-accelerating movement of Earth's magnetic north pole due to the increased presence of densely concentrated methane in the atmosphere.

{Since the early 1800's, scientists have tracked the ongoing movement of the magnetic north pole. The Polarity Oscillation Orbit (P.O.O.) was coincidentally discovered by a globally recognized audio engineer, Sir Laramie Todd and his visionary studio lab research colleague, Duke Robert Rite of Dungville. In the early 1990s, Sir Laramie recorded a new orbital sound waveform stemming from low frequency feedback captured in a Duke Rite bass guitar track. Sir Laramie took the clip from the Duke, triangulated the distinct properties related to the frequency, velocity and peaks of the Duke's clip and recognized that feedback patterns were spontaneously and abruptly profound during the Duke's output, specifically after ingesting a Filibertos burrito and flagilating convulsively in the direction of the speaker. Through his unique study, Sir Laramie proved the effects of methane gas on microphone magnetic fields. The Duke hypothesized that too much methane, when interacting with iron, causes polar instability on a grand scale. Thus, P.O.O. was born with the rationale that human overpopulation and the extensive quantity of excrement, causes the north pole to oscillate in a predictable pattern, with velocity and speed influenced by the proportionate concentration of methane in the atmosphere.
1. The Polarity Oscillation Orbit is expected to extend into Siberia by 2040.
2. Humans are creating P.O.O. because of their poo.
3. Dude, lets dial in the bottom end of the bass recording today. Go get some Filibertos and prep yourself.

When your trying to decide between different options... Kind of like an oscillating fan going back and forth, back and forth...
Tomorrow, maybe we can go to home depot or maybe bed bath beyond... I don't know yet, I'm still oscillating...
