English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Power Stations
CONT

In France, two projects focussed thinking on possible I/C [instrumentation and control] revamping of units prior to N4 : The project baptised R2C and centering on the second ten-year inspection programs(VD2) of the 900 MW... involves the steam generator level control... and the flux measurement and nuclear protection system(RPN system), which inaugurated Schneider-Electric' s new product line SPINLINE 3.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Centrales nucléaires
CONT

[...] un système interne, mesurant le flux neutronique à l'intérieur du cœur, et un système externe placé à l'extérieur de la cuve coexistent. La terminologie habituellement retenue pour nommer les systèmes à partir de trigrammes utilise l'appellation RIC (réacteur instrumentation cœur) pour le premier et RPN (réacteur protection nucléaire) pour le second. [...] Le système RPN mesure le niveau absolu de puissance et la distribution relative de puissance en temps réel. La mesure du niveau de puissance est ajustée sur une mesure faite par bilan enthalpique au secondaire. Un ajustement périodique (calibrage) est nécessaire car la proportionnalité entre la mesure externe et le niveau de puissance réel du réacteur dépend de la composante (x, y) de la distribution de puissance qui, on l'a vu, varie avec l'épuisement du combustible.

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Maneuvers
CONT

The elevator feel system supplies feel forces to the control system. The feel forces developed will vary depending upon airspeed and stabilizer trim. The feel system contains two basic units : the feel and centering mechanism [and] the feel computer. The feel and centering unit consists of a cam, spring-loaded follower, two hydraulic actuators and related linkage.

OBS

The "feel" is what allows the pilot to know how much pressure is needed for system operation.

Record 3 2007-11-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
CONT

The electronic elevator feel computer (EEFC ...) monitors the aircraft’s speed, altitude, and stabilizer position to calculate, and deliver, a hydraulic pressure to the aircraft’s elevator feel system, ultimately supplying the tactile feel force in the pilots yoke.

CONT

The elevator feel computer provides simulated aerodynamic forces using airspeed(from the Elevator Pitot System) and stabilizer position. Feel is transmitted to the control columns by the elevator feel and centering unit. To operate the feel system the elevator feel computer uses either Hydraulic System A or B pressure, whichever is higher. When either hydraulic system or elevator feel pitot system fails, excessive differential hydraulic pressure is sensed in the elevator feel computer and the FEEL DIFF PRESS Light illuminates.

Record 5 1994-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surveying
DEF

The interchanging of theodolites, prisms, and targets into tribrachs, which are left in position over the station.

CONT

When the theodolite(minus its tribrach) is placed on the tribrach vacated by the target or prism, it will be instantly over the point and nearly level. This system, called forced centering, speeds up the work and reduces centering errors associated with multiple setups.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Arpentage
DEF

Technique consistant à permuter les instruments (théodolite, cible, AMED, etc.) sur des trépieds, préalablement installés sur les stations, favorisant ainsi un centrage de haute précision.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
CONT

The aileron sectors and load-feel cranks are located on the rear spar of each wing at the inboard end of the aileron. The sectors transmit movement of the cable systems through mechanical linkage to the control tabs and ailerons. The load-feel cranks provide a simulated feel of aileron flight load at the aileron control wheels and also act as a centering device to return the aileron control system to neutral. The two sectors and two load-feel cranks are mounted on a common bolt in the inboard aileron hinge support bracket.... The load-feel cranks are installed between the two sectors and are connected to each other by a spring at one end. Adjustable stopbolts at the other end of each crank are in contact with a stop on the wing structure. Adjustable stopbolts, midway along each crank, are in contact with stopbolts on a boss on the control tab sector.
