Un interrupteur, au sens strict, est un appareil à commande manuelle destiné à établir ou interrompre les circuits électriques : il est constitué d'un couteau métallique pivotant autour d'un axe fixe et qui, à la fermeture, vient se fixer entre deux mâchoires métalliques. Il existe également des modèles rotatifs moins encombrants. Dans les deux cas, l'interrupteur présente un dispositif de rupture brusquée constitué, par exemple, d'un doigt auxiliaire articulé, associé à un ressort, qui rend le temps de coupure pendant lequel se produit l'arc à peu près indépendant de la rapidité avec laquelle la commande manuelle est actionnée. 2, record 1, French, - interrupteur%20d%27essai

Some integrity shells combine the integrity checking function with virus-monitoring software, so that any suspicious activity is reported. Numerous false alarms invariably result and tend to be ignored after some time. The user is unfortunately left with a false sense of security, which is probably the worst result of using such products. 1, record 4, English, - integrity%20checking%20function

Certains shells d'intégrité combinent la fonction de contrôle d'intégrité avec le logiciel de surveillance de virus, entraînant la signalisation de toute activité douteuse. Il s'ensuit invariablement de nombreuses fausses alarmes que l'on tend à ne pas prendre en compte à la longue. L'utilisateur a malheureusement un faux sens de sécurité, ce qui est probablement l'effet le plus pernicieux de ces logiciels. 1, record 4, French, - fonction%20de%20contr%C3%B4le%20d%27int%C3%A9grit%C3%A9
