English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Music
DEF

... designates a musical orientation based on the use of electroacoustic devices for the conception, production, presentation, storage and/or cognition of works.

OBS

Electroacoustics uses sound sources as diverse as natural sounds(which can be picked up by microphone), analog electronics(produced by equipment such as synthesizers) and digital(generated or processed by digital means). These sources may subsequently be processed and organized by electroacoustic techniques or by digital means before, in many cases, being stored on or presented by an electromagnetic medium.

Key term(s)
  • electro acoustic music

French

Domaine(s)
  • Musique électronique
DEF

[...] désigne un courant musical reposant sur l'utilisation de moyens électroacoustiques pour la conception, la production, la diffusion, la conservation et la perception des œuvres.

CONT

Les musiques électroacoustiques font appel à des sources sonores naturelles (pouvant être captées au microphone), électroniques (produites par des appareils comme les synthétiseurs) et numériques (générées à l'aide d'ordinateurs). Ces sources sont ensuite traitées et organisées par des moyens électroacoustiques ou assistées par ordinateur avant d'être la plupart du temps fixées ou présentées sur un support magnétique.

OBS

électroacoustique : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2004).

Record 5 2005-11-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The high radiation levels... can affect electronic components by one or both of the following routes :(1) the slow accumulation of radiation damage over long periods of time as the experiment runs, leading to signal degradation or destruction of components, or(2) individual interactions of background particles(mostly high energy hadrons) with electronic components, causing large local ionization deposits that corrupt data("single event upsets") or destroy components("single event damage"). In principle, these effects extend to all components in the trigger and data acquisition system, both analog and digital : preamps and front-ends, pipelines and processors, optical and wire data links, monitoring electronics, voltage regulators and power supplies, etc.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
CONT

Three Axis Magnetometer [-] TAM... Redundant TAMs are provided to sense the local strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Each TAM consists of a sensor and a separately packaged electronics unit. The analog outputs provided by the TAM allow for sensing magnetic field data in three orthogonal axes. TAM-Operation Once the TAM is powered there will be no ground interactions necessary. The TAM data is used by the FSW ACS [Flight Software Attitude Control Subsystem routine to determine the local magnetic field when reaction wheel momentum unloading is deemed necessary via the magnetic torque rods [Landsat].

OBS

Key term(s)
  • three-axis magnetometer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et outillage d'exploration spatiale

The main units of the AIC are : the focal plane assembly(FPA), equipped with a back-thinned illuminated CCD matrix and a front-end amplifier, provides the optical signal detection. A thermoelectric peltier cooler under the detector sets the operating point at-25°C ± 100 mK, the detection box(BD) which supplies the FPA with the necessary electrical signals to operate the CCD. It generates the clock waveforms from the VEU signals and filters the supplied voltage from the DSU, the video electronics unit(VEU) which processes the analog signal coming from the FPA, digitizes it on 12 bits before passing it on in serial processing to the science data processing subsystem(SDPSS). It also provides the DBs with the primary clock signal. The power conditioning of the VEU is located in the same unit, the detection supply unit(DSU) delivers relevant stabilized voltages to the 5 DUs and power to thermo-coolers from the main supply feeder of the instrument.
