Record 2 2015-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Legal System
CONT

This same approach should be applied to the question of reading in since extension by way of reading in is closely akin to the practice of severance. The difference is the manner in which the extent of the inconsistency is defined. In the usual case of severance the inconsistency is defined as something improperly included in the statute which can be severed and struck down. In the case of reading in the inconsistency is defined as what the statute wrongly excludes rather than what it wrongly includes. Where the inconsistency is defined as what the statute excludes, the logical result of declaring inoperative that inconsistency may be to include the excluded group within the statutory scheme. This has the effect of extending the reach of the statute by way of reading in rather than reading down.

  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

In 1992 CLD [Compliance and Laboratory Division] purchased new instrumentation, the Automess, to replace the RATO-F. It has been ascertained that the uncertainties associated with the Automess readings are similar to those of the RATO-F, i.e., a reading of 2.6 mSv/h is deemed to demonstrate a true reading in excess of 2 mSv/h.

  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)

  • Physique radiologique et applications
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

En 1992, la Division [des contrôles et du laboratoire] a acheté de nouveaux appareils «Automess» pour remplacer ses «RATO-F». Il a été établi que les incertitudes liées aux relevés des «Automess» sont semblables à celles du «RATO-F», c'est-à-dire qu'un relevé de 2,6 mSv/h est considéré comme un relevé réel supérieur à 2 mSv/h.

Record 8 1996-10-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vacuum Tubes (Electronics)
CONT

In a storage tube, the removal of the charges is called reading.

CONT

The operating principle of the storage tube is the building up and retention of charges on an insulating surface (dielectric storage), and the removal of these charges as an electrical signal which can also be used to excite phosphors to form a visual display. The build-up of the charges is called writing, and the removal of the charges is called reading.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tubes et lampes (Électronique)
OBS

Dans le tube [à mémoire] RAYTHEON une grille à mémoire est utilisée, et le fonctionnement nécessite deux canons opposés à électrons relativement lents. La grille diélectrique commande le passage des électrons, de telle sorte que la lecture de l'information est non destructive.

CONT

La réponse aux impulsions de la lumière reçue n'est pas instantanée [pour un photomètre au sulfure de cadmium], mais retardée de quelques secondes, ce qui peut fausser la lecture si l'on n'en tient pas compte.
