Fat \Fat\, n.
1. (Physiol. Chem.) An oily liquid or greasy substance making
up the main bulk of the adipose tissue of animals, and
widely distributed in the seeds of plants. See Adipose
tissue, under Adipose.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Animal fats are composed mainly of three distinct fats,
tristearin, tripalmitin, and triolein, mixed in varying
proportions. As olein is liquid at ordinary
temperatures, while the other two fats are solid, it
follows that the consistency or hardness of fats
depends upon the relative proportion of the three
individual fats. During the life of an animal, the fat
is mainly in a liquid state in the fat cells, owing to
the solubility of the two solid fats in the more liquid
olein at the body temperature. Chemically, fats are
composed of fatty acid, as stearic, palmitic, oleic,
etc., united with glyceryl. In butter fat, olein and
palmitin predominate, mixed with another fat
characteristic of butter, butyrin. In the vegetable
kingdom many other fats or glycerides are to be found,
as myristin from nutmegs, a glyceride of lauric acid in
the fat of the bay tree, etc.
[1913 Webster]

8. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
File Allocation Table
FAT
FAT32
(FAT) The component of an MS-DOS or Windows
95 file system which describes the files, directories,
and free space on a hard disk or floppy disk.
A disk is divided into partitions. Under the FAT file
system each partition is divided into clusters, each of
which can be one or more sectors, depending on the size of
the partition. Each cluster is either allocated to a file or
directory or it is free (unused). A directory lists the name,
size, modification time and starting cluster of each file or
subdirectory it contains.
At the start of the partition is a table (the FAT) with one
entry for each cluster. Each entry gives the number of the
next cluster in the same file or a special value for "not
allocated" or a special value for "this is the last cluster in
the chain". The first few clusters after the FAT contain the
root directory.
The FAT file system was originally created for the CP/M[?]
operating system where files were catalogued using 8-bit
addressing. MS DOS's FAT allows only 8.3 filenames.
With the introduction of MS-DOS 4 an incompatible 16-bit FAT
(FAT16) with 32-kilobyte clusters was introduced that
allowed partitions of up to 2 gigabytes.
Microsoft later created FAT32 to support partitions larger
than two gigabytes and pathnames greater that 256
characters. It also allows more efficient use of disk space
since clusters are four kilobytes rather than 32 kilobytes.
FAT32 was first available in OEM Service Release 2 of
Windows 95 in 1996. It is not fully backward compatible
with the 16-bit and 8-bit FATs.

9. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Fat
(Heb. heleb) denotes the richest part of the animal, or the
fattest of the flock, in the account of Abel's sacrifice (Gen.
4:4). It sometimes denotes the best of any production (Gen.
45:18; Num. 18:12; Ps. 81:16; 147:47). The fat of sacrifices was
to be burned (Lev. 3:9-11; 4:8; 7:3; 8:25; Num. 18:17. Comp. Ex.
29:13-22; Lev. 3:3-5).
It is used figuratively for a dull, stupid state of mind (Ps
17:10).
In Joel 2:24 the word is equivalent to "vat," a vessel. The
hebrew word here thus rendered is elsewhere rendered "wine-fat"
and "press-fat" (Hag. 2:16; Isa. 63:2).
