1 500 METERS [6 records]

Record 1 2007-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Aircraft
  • Surveillance, Detection and Reconnaissance (Military)
CONT

UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] can be broken down into three major families. The HALE(high altitude long endurance) aircraft are for high altitude observation or for use as telecommunication relays.... Called MALE(medium altitude long endurance), the other type of UAVs are aircraft similar to those used for military missions. The aircraft are very serviceable for testing integration into civilian airspace. Depending on their engines, they fly at speeds that are slower or equal to cargo plane speeds and at comparable altitude but for 24 to 30 hours. The third family includes the smaller, helicopter-type UAVs flying at a low altitude with a ceiling of 1, 500 meters.

CONT

The construction of the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline is one of the most promising projects carried out as part of the Maghreb-Europe partnership. This project is considered as a physical link between the Maghreb and Europe pending the fixed link between Tangiers and the Rock of Gibraltar. The Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline which was dedicated on November 8, 1996 will link the Hass R’mel field in Algeria with Cordoba, in Andalusia through Morocco. It will service in a first stage the Spanish, Portuguese and Moroccan markets, then the French and German ones with an expected increase by 2000. It will supply 1, 500 million cubic meters of gas to Morocco.

CONT

In 1996 the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline, a huge transnational energy infrastructure, entered into operation, configuring a new route for natural gas from the Algerian gas fields to the European markets. The pipeline, of around 1,400 km in length and 48 inches in diameter, connects the Hassi R’Mel deposits to the Spanish gas pipeline network in Cordoba. The gas pipeline is 48 inches in diameter in its 530 km course through Algeria, 540 km through Morocco and the 45 km stretch through the Straits of Gibraltar in which there are two lines of 22 inches in diameter each.

L'Algérie veut conquérir 15 % du marché européen du gaz grâce à un second gazoduc d'un coût de 2,3 milliards de dollars à travers la Méditerranée, inauguré samedi à Hassi R'Mel, dans le Sahara. Le gazoduc Maghreb-Europe (GME) va alimenter l'Espagne, puis le Portugal dès l'année prochaine. Son extension est prévue vers l'Allemagne et la France. [Le web de l'Humanité, 11 novembre 1996]

CONT

... the [hand-held thermal imager] shows a black and white TV-like silhouette of a person up to 500 meters away. The uncovered parts of a person's face and hands produce high contrast in the standard TV image and appear bright. Clothing(with less heat) is darker, a tie is much cooler and therefore darkest. In addition to a 500 meter range for people, it can see vehicles out to 1, 500 meters.

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
CONT

Dielectric strength test(test No. 1). A test voltage with a value of 2 kV r. m. s., practically sinusoidal in form, with a frequency between 45 and 65 Hz inclusive and supplied by a source with an apparent power of at least 500 VA, is applied for one minute between, firstly, all terminals interconnected between themselves, and secondly, a flat metal surface on which the meter base rests. For detachable type meters, the voltage is applied between the interconnected terminals, and the metal casing of the meter. No disruptive discharge must occur during the test.

  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
CONT

Épreuve de rigidité diélectrique (essai no. 1). Une tension d'essai de valeur efficace 2 kV, pratiquement sinusoïdale, de fréquence comprise entre 45 et 65 Hz, fournie par une source d'une puissance apparente d'au moins 500 VA, est appliquée pendant une minute entre, d'une part, toutes les bornes reliées entre elles et, d'autre part, une surface métallique plane sur laquelle repose de socle du compteur. Pour les compteurs de type embrochable, la tension est appliquée entre les bornes reliées ensemble et l'enveloppe métallique du compteur. Pendant l'essai, aucune décharge disruptive ne doit se produire.
