The more (or most) distant of two (or more) things. For example, the distal end of the femur is the end down by the knee; the end more distant from the torso. The distal bile duct is the far end of the cystic duct, the end away from the gallbladder. And the distal lymph node in a chain of nodes is the most distant one. The opposite of distal is proximal.

TechnologyThe distinctive property of a photoelectric sensor that results in the operation point being different from the release point. This distance is expressed as a % of the total sensing distance of the photoelectric sensor. It is the distance difference between the operate point when approaching the photoelectric, and the release point when moving away from the photoelectric.
Technology(1) A design measure of crack growth rate. Cracks in damage-tolerant designed structures are not permitted to grow to critical size during expected service life. (2) The ability of a part component, such as an aerospace engine, to resist failure due to the presence of flaws, cracks or other damage for a specified period of usage. The damage tolerance approach is used extensively in the aerospace industry.
