Line check. This is a most important part of the packing sequence. If the lines are clear there is every chance the canopy will deploy, however scruffily you pack it.

CONT

After the brakes have been set, perform the line check. Make sure there are no twists in the risers. Isolate the steering lines(on rear riser), the "C" & "D" Lines(also on rear riser) and the "A" & "D"(on the front riser) on each hand as shown. Walk forward to the canopy making sure the steering lines are free and clear of all other lines, from the tail all the way down to the riser,(both right and left sides).

[...] à chaque pliage on effectue une vérification de la continuité des suspentes. Cette vérification consiste à séparer les différents groupes de suspentes (suspentes de contrôle gauches/droites, suspentes arrière gauches/droites, suspentes avant gauches/droites) entre les doigts et les suivre des élévateurs jusqu'à la voilure pour voir si ces groupes ne sont pas torsadés sur eux-mêmes.

Not overtracking : In medium, extended and free walk, medium and extended trot, the imprint of the hind foot of the horse should come beyond the imprint left by the forefoot on the same side, i. e. the near hind should go beyond the near fore and the off behind beyond the off fore.... A few horses have a conformation which makes it very difficult or nearly impossible for them to overtrack...

Record 4 2008-05-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

A hexapod robot is a mechanical vehicle that walks on six legs. Since a robot can be statically stable on three or more legs, a hexapod robot has a great deal of flexibility in how it can move. If legs become disabled, the robot may still be able to walk. Furthermore, not all of the robot's legs are needed for stability; other legs are free to reach new foot placements or manipulate a payload. Many hexapod robots are biologically inspired by Hexapoda locomotion. Hexapods may be used to test biological theories about insect locomotion, motor control, and neurology.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
CONT

Un robot hexapode est un véhicule mécanique dont la locomotion est basé sur trois paires de pattes. L'étude de la marche des insectes est d'un intérêt particulier pour présenter une alternative à l'usage de roues pour la locomotion des robots. Le terme se réfère donc aux robots d'inspiration biologique imitant dans le cas présent les animaux hexapodes tels les insectes. Les robots hexapodes sont considérés plus stables que les robots bipèdes du fait que dans la plupart des cas, les hexapodes sont statiquement stables. De ce fait, ils ne dépendent pas de contrôleurs en temps réel pour rester debout ou pour marcher. Cependant, il a été démontré qu'à grandes vitesses de déplacement, les insectes sont dépendants de facteurs dynamiques.

The neighborhood park or community school, in contrast with the residential playground, may be as far away as a ten-minute walk from the playground to the child's house, a decision will be made about how much free time is available and whether going to the play area is worth the effort.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipements urbains
  • Sites (Urbanisme)
CONT

Dans la programmation et l'évaluation [des espaces ouverts implantés en milieu urbain] il est important de distinguer les parcs et jardins de fréquentation quotidienne, qui doivent se trouver à distance piétonnière de l'habitat ou éventuellement du lieu d'emploi (500 mètres) et les parcs dont la fréquentation est aussi du type hebdomadaire, qui peuvent être plus éloignés. Dans une étude de 1968, l'I.A.U.R.P.[Institut d'Aménagement et d'Urbanisme de la Région Parisienne] on avait proposé [...] la grille suivante : parc de voisinage[...], parc de quartier[...], parc central[...], grand parc[...], parc péri-urbain[...]

OBS

Noter que la superficie et le rayon d'influence déterminant la classification des parcs peuvent varier d'une région à une autre.
