The platform is aligned to the local vertical and to north prior to takeoff by using essentially the same technique as for a marine gyrocompass. The 84-min Schuler period is shortened by amplifying signals from tilt sensors or accelerometers on the platform to rapidly remove platform tilt and align to north. 3, record 1, English, - Schuler%20period

On peut démontrer qu'une plate-forme suspendue de la façon décrite se comporte de la même façon qu'un pendule dont la longueur serait égale au rayon de la terre. Un tel pendule n'est pas affecté par l'accélération mais, si on modifie son état d'équilibre, il oscille selon une période de 84,4 minutes. Donc, si l'on modifie l'équilibre de la plate-forme, elle oscille autour d'une position moyenne et prend 84,4 minutes pour effectuer un cycle complet. Cette période est appelée période de Schuler. 3, record 1, French, - p%C3%A9riode%20de%20Schuler

Alternative products and services currently exist and consumer selection will eventually influence market forces in the preferred direction. For example, fiberglass insulation, though not as efficient as polyurethane foam, can be used as a suitable substitute; egg containers do not require foamed plastics. Propane is currently used as a refrigerant in many recreational sites. Aerosol products, in many instances, are now propelled by hydrocarbons. However, these alternative products and services do incur a price to pay, be it efficiency, safety or simply consumer preference. 4, record 6, English, - alternative%20product

At the center of the Earth lies the core, which is nearly twice as dense as the mantle because its composition is metallic (iron-nickle alloy) rather than stony. Unlike the yolk of an egg, however, the Earth's core is actually made up of two distinct parts: a 2,200-kilometer (1,400-mile) thick liquid outer core and a 1,250-kilometer (775-mile) thick solid inner core. 4, record 10, English, - Earth%27s%20core

In composition, the Earth is made of three nested spheres. At the center of Earth, a body of intensely hot iron and nickel forms the core. A less dense and much larger middle sphere is made of materials rich in iron, magnesium and calcium comprises the mantle. The outermost layer is a thin veneer of lighter rocks called the crust. 5, record 10, English, - Earth%27s%20core
