Record 1 2016-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
DEF

A hard disk that contains volumes … that span multiple hard disks.

CONT

On a dynamic disk, storage is divided into dynamic volumes instead of partitions.

Key term(s)
  • dynamic disc

French

Domaine(s)
  • Supports d'information (Informatique)
DEF

Disque dur contenant des volumes […] répartis sur plusieurs disques durs.

CONT

Sur un disque dynamique, le stockage est divisé en volumes dynamiques et non en partitions.

Record 2 2006-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A device used to establish a spacecraft’s attitude relative to the Earth by detecting the limits of the Earth’s disk at infrared wavelength.

OBS

Sensing is either static or dynamic. The static sensor uses a common direction-sensing technique involving an arrangement of sensors grouped around the pointing axis so that they each receive the same illumination when the sensor is exactly aligned with the target-source.... The dynamic sensor operates by scanning across the Earth's disk and detecting the temperature difference between space and Earth. It is otherwise known as a "horizon sensor" or "horizon scanner".

OBS

Earth sensor: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Key term(s)
  • infra-red Earth sensor
  • infra red Earth sensor

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
OBS

capteur d'horizon terrestre : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 3 2006-02-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operating Systems (Software)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
OBS

Some systems provide for disk-based real-time multiprogrammed operations in the foreground with batch processing in the background and automatic overlay and roll-out of programs to disk, with dynamic memory allocation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes d'exploitation (Logiciels)
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
CONT

Une application dite «en temps réel» est [...] chargée de communiquer avec des dispositifs extérieurs à l'ordinateur [...] et doit être capable de traiter les informations au moment exact où elles arrivent. Un processus en temps réel doit donc pouvoir être activé immédiatement et prioritairement, et garder le processeur tant qu'il n'a pas fin son travail. Un système d'exploitation en temps réel est un système multitâche capable de gérer ce genre de processus.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Sistemas operativos (Soporte lógico)
  • Tratamiento de la información (Informática)
DEF

Amplio sistema operativo, de programática, diseñado como soporte de una microcomputadora (microordenador) dedicada a aplicaciones en tiempo real.

CONT

El sistema ejecutivo en tiempo real controla, establece el orden o secuencia, y provee la asignación eficaz de los recursos para hacer trabajar un sistema en tiempo real. Este sistema también ofrece in número de subrutinas básicas que ayudan en cuestiones de control de la consola, reejecuciones, carga de segmentos de recubrimiento y control de entrada/salida para los diferentes subsistemas.

OBS

El sistema por lo general incluye un programa de generación del sistema, rutinas de entrada/salida y rutinas de conversión analógica-digital.

Record 4 2003-05-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
DEF

Turbulent vertical motions that result from surface heating and the subsequent rising and sinking of air.

CONT

Thermal turbulence in the atmosphere is usually the main factor that limits the resolution, or fine detail, that can be seen on the planets or the moon. When the seeing is good, planetary detail is distinct and has better contrast. Bad seeing is characterized by a dynamic blurring, or even severe motion of the entire planetary disk.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
CONT

La turbulence thermique résulte des mouvements convectifs provoqués par le réchauffement de la basse atmosphère au contact du sol captant l'énergie solaire.

CONT

On peut distinguer deux types de turbulence : la turbulence mécanique (tourbillons créés par la différence de vitesse des masses d'air, ou par le mouvement de l'air qui entre en contact avec des objets), et la turbulence thermique (tourbillons créés par la différence de température des masses d'air).

Record 5 1998-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Glues and Adhesives (Industries)
CONT

We present a noise free and deterministic dynamic model to study the dynamics of the contact line of an adhesive tape during peeling process. The adhesive tape is wrapped around a disk and is pulled with a constant speed at a fixed distance. In a narrow range of the pull speed, the angular speed of the contact line exhibits stick-slip behaviors with irregular bifurcations, which is then followed by the appearance of a period one stick-slip motion before displaying chaotic behaviors with distinctively positive Liapunov exponents.
