English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
DEF

Describes the method of error checking in which data written to an optical disk during one disk rotation is read for accuracy on the subsequent rotation. Recorded data on an optical disk may be read immediately after writing(recording) ;no processing is required. This allows error free recording in a single pass because whenever a written sector of data contains errors it is immediately rewritten.

DEF

A laser-based technology for recording data on a videodisk.

Operación en que los datos registrados en un disco de video se leen inmediatamente después de registrarse de modo que puedan detectarse los errores; los errores no se pueden borrar ni sobrescribir en esta clase de disco, pero los datos pueden corregirse y volverse a escribir en una nueva ubicación. Entonces se dirige a la computadora (ordenador) a dicha nueva ubicación de modo que se ignore la sección que contiene el error.

Gyroscopes can be used as devices for direction finding, guidance, and control. If a gyroscope, mounted on its gimbal rings, is set spinning about a horizontal axis, and the outer gimbal ring is rotated in a horizontal plane, then the inner gimbal ring, carrying the flywheel, tilts up out of the horizontal plane in which it, too first lay. After a few oscillations, damped out by friction, the axis of spin of the gyroscope settles down along a vertical direction. Inertial guidance systems make use of very similar phenomena. Once a gyroscope has been set spinning about a chosen axis, any motion that would cause it to deviate from this direction calls into existence a torque that can be used as an error signal to control corrective maneuvers... Some of the most important applications of gyroscopic phenomena are in aircraft instruments. A free(perfectly balanced) gyroscope can give a constant indication of a chosen reference direction for checking the correct course, and a gravitationally loaded gyroscope can be used to identify the true vertical at all times and so define an artificial horizon against which the pilot can measure the angles of bank and climb.

Le gyroscope construit par Foucault 1852 est un appareil qui dérive de son pendule. Comme lui, il met en évidence les effets de la rotation de la terre. Il est constitué d'une masse lourde, appelée rotor, en mouvement de rotation rapide autour d'un axe restant fixe dans un référentiel galiléen. Le gyroscope se caractérise par un moment cinétique élevé. Il existe des gyroscopes dont l'axe en rotation est lié à l'armature de l'appareil par deux axes et d'autres reliés à un seul axe. On retrouve le phénomène gyroscopique dans des jouets tels que les toupies. Il est utilisé dans des appareils appelés compas gyroscopiques servant au guidage des missiles, des avions et des satellites.

CONT

Under competition, free banking would result in banks then bidding up the interest rate paid on demand deposits to a positive level.(That is what used to happen in the 1920's : Our grandfathers often were paid 5 per cent on their checking deposits.)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Banque
CONT

En régime de concurrence [...] le libre exercice de la profession bancaire aurait pour conséquence que, les banques enchérissant les unes sur les autres, le niveau des taux d'intérêt servis aux dépôts à vue s'élèverait plus ou moins au-dessus de zéro. (Tel était le cas au cours de la décennie 1920 : les dépôts «chécables» constitués par les clients des banques américaines étaient fréquemment rémunérés à raison de 5%).
