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)
  • Energy Transformation
  • Ocean Energy
CONT

... RED (reverse electrodialysis) is composed of cation exchange membranes (CEM) and anion exchange membranes (AEM). Electric potential is created when the solutions with dissimilar concentration of salinity flow on either side of these ion-exchange membranes. Cations migrate from high to low concentration through CEM, while anions migrate from high to low concentration via AEM. Electrodes are utilized to transform the ionic into the electric current at both sides of the module …

OBS

Not to be confused with ''electrodialysis reversal (EDR),'' which is a water desalination process.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transformation de l'énergie
  • Énergie océanique
CONT

La seconde, l'électrodialyse inverse […], fonctionne avec des membranes empilées […] qui distinguent les ions positifs du sel (Na+) de ses ions négatifs (Cl-). Sous l'effet de l'osmose, les premiers traversent des membranes cations-sélectives, tandis que les seconds traversent les membranes anions-sélectives. La séparation des charges positives et négatives produit un courant ionique converti ensuite en un courant électrique. Cette technologie génère donc directement de l'énergie électrique.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec «inversion d'électrodialyse» ou «électrodialyse à inversion de polarité», qui est utilisée dans la désalinisation de l'eau.
