Recently, Elections Canada set up a Returning Office Technology Centre(ROTC) in Ottawa. This is a laboratory that tests all the computer applications for returning officers. Because of their increasing use of advanced technology, returning officers will each have an automation co-ordinator(AC) and assistant automation co-ordinator(AAC) on staff. These staff members will supervise the people producing the lists of electors. A support network at Elections Canada in Ottawa will furnish technical assistance. 2, record 4, English, - Returning%20Office%20Technology%20Centre

Il s'agit d'un laboratoire qui fait l'essai de toutes les applications informatisées pour les directeurs du scrutin. Comme les directeurs du scrutin ont de plus en plus recours à des techniques de pointe, chacun d'eux pourra compter sur un coordonnateur et un coordonnateur adjoint de l'informatisation. Ces membres du personnel surveilleront les employés chargés de produire les listes électorales. Un réseau de soutien à Élections Canada à Ottawa fournira l'assistance technique. 2, record 4, French, - Centre%20de%20technologie%20des%20bureaux%20des%20directeurs%20du%20scrutin

A real-time digital video-image-processing system contributes to the automation of weld-seam tracking. The tracking system makes no contact with the seam. A small television camera views the seam just ahead of the point currently being welded. The welding arc provides the illumination. Periodically, a frame grabber digitizes the video image and stores it in a computer memory as gray-scale values. The seam is located by analyzing Hough-transform arrays of derivatives of digitally-filtered image data. The information on the location and orientation of the seam is used as feedback by a welding robot to correct deviations of the electrode from the seam as welding continues. 1, record 5, English, - real%2Dtime%20digital%20video%2Dimage%2Dprocessing%20system

... Doug Engelbart started work in 1962 on his Augment project, developing computer tools to augment human capabilities and productivity. This project was the first major work in areas like office automation and text processing.... One part of the augment project was NLS(for oN-Line System), which had several hypertext features even though it was not developed as a hypertext system. During the augment project, the researchers stored all their papers, reports, and memos in a shared "journal" facility that enabled them to include cross-references to other work in their own writings. This journal grew to over 100, 000 items and is still unique as a hypertext structure for support of real work over an extended time. 2, record 8, English, - On%2DLine%20System

... Douglas Engelbart .... En 1963, il publie un article retentissant : «Un cadre conceptuel pour l'accroissement de l'intellect humain» («A Conceptual Framework for the Augmentation of Man's Intellect»). Le projet AUGMENT le conduit à proposer NLS (oN Line System, «Système en ligne»), un dispositif expérimental destiné aux chercheurs pour l'archivage de leurs articles, essais et rapports, dans une espèce de «revue», que tous pouvaient lire et compléter par des références croisées entre les documents. Il envisage que chacun «emmagasine électroniquement ses spécifications, plans, projets, programmes, documentation, rapports, mémos, bibliographies et fiches ... et fasse toutes ses esquisses, ses prévisions, ses ébauches, ses débogages... et une bonne partie de ses échanges avec les autres à partir de ses consoles». NLS n'est pas un véritable hypertexte, mais il en possède certaines caractéristiques. 1, record 8, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20en%20ligne
