Le dorsal bunion. C’est la caractéristique d’absence d’appui antéro-interne avec hallux flessus habituellement adductus observé après paralysie ou insuffisance du muscle long fibulaire et prédominance du tibial antérieur. A l’âge adulte c’est souvent l’opération de Lapidus qui est proposée comportant une ostéotomie de la base du 1er métatarsien pour abaisser ce dernier, un allongement du tibial antérieur et un transfert du long fléchisseur de l’hallux sous le col de M1.

English

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

Two types of analysis method were done in this project :(i) Visual Image Analysis, and(ii) Digital Image Analysis.... Visual Image analysis of the entire data source was done primarily for orientation and familiarization with the recognizable features of the study area. The knowledge gained from the procedure was instrumental in the subsequent selection of the training samples for the digital image analysis. Geometric correction and image registration of all data sources were performed before visual analysis.

OBS

visual image analysis: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

  • IT Security
DEF

A parity check where the number of 1 bits (as opposed to zero bits) in a group is expected to be odd.

DEF

A procedure... used as a control for data transmission. The total number of "1" bits must come out to an odd number. Odd parity is used for error detection and error correction.

Record 6 2000-05-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
OBS

Correction for Deviation by Swinging the Compass : The effect of deviation is neutralized in airplanes as far as possible by a procedure called "Swinging the Compass". The compass is fitted with corrector magnets, which are permanently installed and connected by gears. They are located in the top and bottom of the compass case and are adjusted by screws. As the compass is "swung", the screws are adjusted to eliminate deviation. It is rarely possible, however, to completely eliminate it. The deviation remaining after the compass has been "swung" is tabulated on a Compass Deviation Card to enable the pilot to make allowance for it.... The compass should be swung with the engine running and all radio and electrical equipment functioning.

OBS

compass adjustment; compass swinging: terms officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
