Beats

Regular pulsations having an even rhythm.


To stir thoroughly and vigorously.


In audition, the tendency for two tones of similar pitch to be heard as a single tone that waxes and wanes in intensity, summation tone.


Single pulse or throb, especially of the heart; the apical (apex) beat is heard over the left side of the chest, between the fourth and fifth ribs.


A pulsation or throb (e.g., as in contraction of the heart).


To swiftly and repeatedly agitate ingredients to amalgamate or render the mixture less dense. When done manually, the action involves a fast, repetitive, forceful motion of the spoon or fork in a ‘down-up-over-and-down’ pattern. The Dover beater or an electric mixer simplifies the task significantly.
