Record 3 2021-05-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bodywork and Framework (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

Active grille shutters, which improve efficiency by opening and closing automatically to control airflow, are popping up on a number of new [car] models... When they’re open, the shutters allow air to flow through the radiator and into the engine compartment, as usual, to promote cooling. But when that cooling air is not needed, the shutters close, rerouting air around the vehicle to lessen aerodynamic drag and reduce fuel consumption. As an added bonus, closed shutters also reduce warm-up time in cold weather.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Carrosserie, caisse et châssis (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

Obturateurs actifs de calandre. La berline [a un système] pour améliorer son aérodynamisme et son économie de carburant à vitesse de croisière. Le système d'obturation actif de calandre ouvre des obturateurs dans celle-ci lorsqu'il faut refroidir davantage le moteur, comme en circulation dense à vitesse réduite. Sur la route à vitesse constante, les obturateurs de calandre se ferment automatiquement pour améliorer à la fois l'aérodynamisme et l'économie de carburant.

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry

CONT

The important thing to remember about flying an unstable aircraft is that control forces-admittedly small ones-have to be exercised all the time, even to keep the aircraft flying straight and level.... The accepted term for such a machine that can be flown only by a continual balancing of control forces is a control configured vehicle(CCV).... A control configured aircraft... needs to be flown by a computer, capable of receiving both sensor inputs on the behaviour of the surrounding air and mission performance instructions initiated by the pilot and generated by the fire control system.

Using the technology of dual infrared sensors mounted inside the dash panel, Jeep's Dual-Zone Climate Control System independently measures the body surface temperature of both the driver and front passenger. By measuring the actual surface temperature of the front seat occupants, rather then the air temperature around them as most climate control systems do, the new Jeep can direct hot or cold air flow to continually meet the driver and passenger's perceived comfort level. As conditions in the vehicle change, due to exterior temperature or sunlight, the system adjusts to counter those circumstances.
