2.1986, PC Magazine: The Independent Guide to IBM-standard Personal Computing, volume 23, New York, N.Y.: PC Communications Corporation, ISSN 0888-8507, OCLC 854802590, page 82, column 2:
To make the location data more useful to its customers, uLocate has developed some enhancements. For instance, users can set up "geofences" around specific locations; when a phone enters or leaves that area, an alert is triggered. This could be used to let parents know, by e-mail or SMS, when a child reaches school.

Lacy, editors, The Geopolitics of American Insecurity: Terror, Power and Foreign Policy (PRIO New Security Studies), Abingdon, Oxon.; New York, N.Y.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 101:
A company like PetsMobility produces the "PetsCell," a "revolutionary waterproof A-GPS CDMA cell phone for your Pet" (as the company puts it). PetsMobility declares that / there's no hiding with the PetsCell™. […] Establish a remote programmable geofence around a yard or campus, and use handy notification features that alert your cell phone when a breach occurs.
4.2011, Chuck Martin, The Third Screen: Marketing to Your Customers in a World Gone Mobile, Boston, Mass.: Nicholas Brealey, →ISBN, page 144:
A geofence could be a mile or more around a store or it could be fifty feet from the front door, whatever the business decides.
5.2013, Dan Burges, “In-transit Security”, in Cargo Theft, Loss Prevention, and Supply Chain Security, Waltham, Mass.; Kidlington, Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann, →ISBN, page 207:
In the event that the secured lot and locking systems emplaced fail to keep a load from being stolen, by emplacing a geofence (or electronic boundary) around the stationary load, the user or a control center can be notified immediately when the load begins to move and crosses the electronic boundary, which allows for an immediate response protocol, which can enhance the chances for recovery exponentially.
[Verb]
editgeofence (third-person singular simple present geofences, present participle geofencing, simple past and past participle geofenced)
1.(transitive, computing) To provide a geofence around (an area).

In this adventure you have built the hardware and software for a fully functional passenger lift, just like the lifts inside real buildings. By doing this, you have used many of the skills you learnt by working through all of the adventures in this book, including sensing the players' position, geo-fencing the lift shaft, moving the player, building blocks automatically, sensing when a block has been hit, interfacing with electronic circuits, using Python lists, developing and testing a program one step at a time, and many more amazing things!

12.(philosophy) The vivid perception of something as it is experienced, in contrast to ideas or thoughts drawn from memory or the imagination.
13.1748, David Hume, “Of the Origin of Ideas”, in An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding:
Let us, therefore, use a little freedom, and call them Impressions; employing that word in a sense somewhat different from the usual. By the term impression, then, I mean all our more lively perceptions, when we hear, or see, or feel, or love, or hate, or desire, or will. And impressions are distinguished from ideas, which are the less lively perceptions, of which we are conscious, when we reflect on any of those sensations or movements above mentioned.
[Verb]
editimpression (third-person singular simple present impressions, present participle impressioning, simple past and past participle impressioned)
1.To manipulate a blank key within a lock so as to mark it with impressions of the shape of the lock, which facilitates creation of a duplicate key.
2.2007, Graham Pulford, High-Security Mechanical Locks: An Encyclopedic Reference (page 55)
The trick in impressioning a key is to remove only a small amount of the blank, by filing or cutting, from the pin positions where impressions have been left.
