AMPLIFIED FORM [5 fiches]

Fiche 1 2013-06-20

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Vacuum Tubes (Electronics)
  • Television (Radioelectricity)
DEF

A television camera tube in which an electron image is produced by a photoemitting surface and focused on one side of a separate storage tube that is scanned on its opposite side by a beam of low-velocity electrons.

OBS

Electrons that are reflected from the storage tube, after positive stored charges are neutralized by the scanning beam, form a return beam which is amplified by an electron multiplier.

OBS

image orthicon: term officially approved by the Electronics and Telecommunications Terminology Committee.

Fiche 3 2010-01-29

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

A sweep ramp provides the tuning voltage for a voltage-tuned oscillator and is simultaneously applied to the horizontal-deflection system of a cathode-ray-tube display. The local-oscillator frequency is mixed with the input signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is detected, filtered, and applied to the vertical deflection plates of the CRT [cathode-ray-tube].

CONT

The receiver has to have suitable pass band characteristics to deal with the pulse modulation side bands, and must be free from paralysis following reception of a large signal... Its output is rectified and amplified and applied to the cathode-ray tube display, either as a deflexion or an intensity modulation. The cathode-ray tube is also supplied with a range time base..., synchronized to the pulse transmission, and suitable calibration devices... are usually also necessary. The form of the display unit depends on the particular radar application, and on what coordinate or coordinates other than range are to be presented. For example, in the plan position indicator the time base starts from the centre of the tube and goes radically outwards in a direction depending on the azimuth of the beamed aerials(which sweeps continuously), and the signal is presented as a spot intensifier.

Fiche 4 2003-10-15

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • CBRNE Weapons
CONT

Neutron weapons are designed for the destruction of living organisms; they are not designed for the destruction of building and technical facilities.

CONT

Neutron weapons are miniature thermonuclear weapons with a calibre of about 1 kt [kiloton](at most up to 15 kt), where a fissioning initiator triggers the thermonuclear synthesis of tritium and deuterium. In the course of this synthesis, as much as 80% of energy is released in the form of immediate penetrating neutron radiation with high energy. Thus, the neutron weapon is referred to as a weapon with amplified radiation.

OBS

enhanced radiation weapon; ERW: term and abbreviation extracted from the "Disarmament and Peace Keeping" glossary with the permission of the United Nations Office at Geneva.

Terme(s)-clé(s)
  • reinforced radiation effect weapon
  • reinforced neutron radiation weapon

Français

Domaine(s)
  • Armes CBRNE
CONT

L'arme à neutrons, dite aussi à rayonnement renforcé, est tout à fait particulière en ce que, théoriquement, elle ne produit que des effets mortels pour les humains, sans entraîner de dommages aux matériels.

OBS

arme neutronique : terme tiré du lexique «Désarmement et Maintien de la Paix» avec l'autorisation de l'Office des Nations Unies à Genève.

Espagnol

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Armas QBRNE
CONT

Sam Cohen teorizó que si a una bomba de hidrógeno se le quitaba la carcasa de uranio, ésta emitiría una gran cantidad de neutrones, que podrían viajar grandes distancias, atravesar estructuras blindadas y matar o incapacitar a quienes estuvieran dentro de ellas. Además, como la radiación remanente se produce principalmente por la fisión nuclear, dijo que dado que sólo quedaría una pequeña masa fisionable en el núcleo de la bomba, los residuos serían sólo de una fracción que el de una bomba atómica convencional, pero mucho más letal. Así nació el Arma de Radiación Potenciada (Enhanced Radiation Weapon) [...]

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

In this form of transport detector for h. p. l. c. [high-performance liquid chromatography], the eluate is deposited upon a fine stainless steel wire that has been cleaned by being heated at 850°C. The volatile solvent is evaporated and the solute oxidized at 700-800°C in air to a mixture of carbon dioxide and water. The oxidation products are mixed with hydrogen and passed over a nickel catalyst at 330°C to give methane which is burnt in a flame ionization detector to give an electrical signal that can be amplified and recorded. The detector gives a linear response over a wide concentration range [...] The sensitivity has been improved and the noise level reduced by using either a ceramic(kaolin) or ceramic-metal(kaolin and copper) coating to the wire.
