Record 1 2010-10-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radioelectricity
  • Telephony and Microwave Technology
  • Electronics
  • Electronic Music
DEF

The technique of either adjusting the load-circuit impedance or inserting a network between two parts of a system to produce the desired power transfer of signal.

OBS

Mismatching may produce some of the following: (1) A low-impedance load circuit shorting out a high-impedance source, (2) A low-impedance source not having sufficient voltage output to drive a high-impedance load, or (3) In a transmission line, standing waves resulting in loss of power.

Key term(s)
  • impedance match

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radioélectricité
  • Téléphonie et techniques hyperfréquences
  • Électronique
  • Musique électronique
DEF

Connexion d'un circuit ou de tout autre dispositif électrique à une charge d'impédance telle que le transfert de l'énergie ou du signal de l'un à l'autre soit optimal.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radioelectricidad
  • Telefonía y tecnología de microondas
  • Electrónica
  • Música electrónica
DEF

Unión de dos impedancias diferentes, para que haya transferencia de una a otra. La eficaz transferencia de potencia de una etapa a otra se logra cuando las impedancias de ambas etapas se acoplan o igualan.

CONT

Un ejemplo de un mal acoplamiento de impedancias es la pérdida de volumen cuando un micrófono de baja impedancia se conecta a un amplificador de alta impedancia.

CONT

Una forma empírica de adaptación de impedancias se realiza con un sintonizador de línea ranurada, el cual consiste en una guía ranurada dentro de la cual se ubica una sonda de posición y penetración variable.

Record 2 2001-06-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Goods
CONT

The [load matching is a] mesure to assess the potential of replacing current load-matching practices (e.g. telephone, card index files, salespeople) with Internet-based information services that allow trucking companies, brokers or forwarders to match loads and available equipment. It is assumed that all van and flatbed trailers operating in Canada on trips over 300 kilometres would reduce their empty travel by 1 per cent as a result of the efficiencies afforded by this technology.

Key term(s)
  • load-matching

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transport de marchandises
DEF

Évaluation (calcul) servant à utiliser au maximum l'espace disponible à l'intérieur des véhicules lourds afin de minimiser les coûts reliés au transport des marchandises.
