Use of force to join pieces together after using resistance heating with high frequency AC (10 to 500 kHz). Electrical resistant heating occurs when an electrical current passes through a conductor with high resistance to the flow of current, which converts the electrical energy into heat.
High joint

High low
Multilevel carpets with high and low loop pile areas or high cut-pile and low loop areas. The latter is also called a cut and loop carpet.
High speed steel (hss)
High Speed Steel (sometimes called speed steel) is designated as hss. It is heat-treated, hardened steel alloyed from various mixes of chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten and cobalt. Hss is used in many types of drill bits and cutting tools which bore metal because its content allows it to remain hard at high temperatures, resisting drilling friction heat. HSS provides more durable performance than carbon steel.
High strength bolts
Bolts constructed of a high tensile strength steel alloy. High Tension High voltage electricity.
High velocity hurricane zone (fbc)
This zone consists of Broward and Dade counties.
High victorian italianate
Nineteenth century style house with three different kinds of window arches, the primary distinguishing characteristic of this style. The arches are straight-sided, flat-topped and rectangular.
High water mark

High-density overlay (hdo)
