Luster \Lus"ter\, Lustre \Lus"tre\, n. [F. lustre; cf. It.
lustro; both fr. L. lustrare to purify, go about (like the
priests at the lustral sacrifice), traverse, survey,
illuminate, fr. lustrum a purificatory sacrifice; perh. akin
to E. loose. But lustrare to illuminate is perh. a different
word, and akin to L. lucere to be light or clear, to shine.
See {Lucid}, and cf. {Illustrious}, {Lustrum}.]
1. Brilliancy; splendor; brightness; glitter.
The right mark and very true luster of the diamond.
--Sir T. More.
The scorching sun was mounted high, In all its
luster, to the noonday sky. --Addison.
Note: There is a tendency to limit the use of luster, in this
sense, to the brightness of things which do not shine
with their own light, or at least do not blaze or glow
with heat. One speaks of the luster of a diamond, or of
silk, or even of the stars, but not often now of the
luster of the sun, a coal of fire, or the like.
2. Renown; splendor; distinction; glory.
His ancestors continued about four hundred years,
rather without obscurity than with any great luster.
--Sir H.
Wotton.
3. A candlestick, chandelier, girandole, or the like,
generally of an ornamental character. --Pope.
4. (Min.) The appearance of the surface of a mineral as
affected by, or dependent upon, peculiarities of its
reflecting qualities.
Note: The principal kinds of luster recognized are: metallic,
adamantine, vitreous, resinous, greasy, pearly, and
silky. With respect to intensity, luster is
characterized as splendent, shining, glistening,
glimmering, and dull.
5. A substance which imparts luster to a surface, as plumbago
and some of the glazes.
6. A fabric of wool and cotton with a lustrous surface, --
used for women's dresses.
{Luster ware}, earthenware decorated by applying to the
glazing metallic oxides, which acquire brilliancy in the
process of baking.
Luster \Lus"ter\, Lustre \Lus"tre\, v. t. [imp. & p. p.
{Lustred}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Lustering}, or {Lustring}.]
To make lustrous. [R. & Poetic]
Flooded and lustered with her loosened gold. --Lowell.
Lustre \Lus"tre\, n.

LUSTRE
(A French acronym for Synchronous real-time Lucid). Real-time
dataflow language for synchronous systems, especially
automatic control and signal processing. A {Lucid} subset,
plus timing operators and user-defined clocks.
Designed for automatic control applications. It is based on
the idea that automatic control engineers use to analyse, and
specify their systems in terms of functions over sequences
(sampled signals). It thus seems both safe and cost effective
to try to compile directly those descriptions into executable
code. A lot of work has been done, so as to get efficient
compilation, and also in formal verification. The language
has been used in nuclear plant control, and will be used in
aircraft control.
