[Global navigation satellite system(GNSS) ] positioning is affected by various measurement errors, such as ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, and multipath effect. In addition, the GNSS signal is weak[;] it comes from 20, 000 to 30, 000 km away and is vulnerable to unintentional radio frequency interference or malicious interference(jamming and spoofing)... Therefore, it is of great significance to enhance the reliability and positioning accuracy of GNSS by other means... Many studies consider using signals of opportunity(SOP) for positioning when GNSS is unavailable or unreliable. These SOP include digital television[, ] Bluetooth[, low earth orbit(LEO), ] Wi-Fi[, ] vision[, ] 5 G [(fifth generation), ] and so on. 3, record 1, English, - opportunity%20signal

A Consol beacon broadcasts on a medium frequency a pattern of dots and dashes, and by listening to this pattern on an ordinary ship or aircraft wireless receiver a navigator can determine his bearing from the beacon with a much greater accuracy than is possible with a D/F [direction finder] loop. The accuracy of the bearings obtained depends on the bearing of the observer from the beacon; it is greatest along a line called the normal of the beacon and decreases until it is zero along a line at right angles to the normal. 5, record 3, English, - Consol%20beacon

The dynamic amplification factor(DAF) is an important parameter in the design of highway bridges and yet no worldwide consensus has been reached so far as to its value. Some disagreement exists between provisions of various national bridge codes. This is because the DAF depends, in addition to the maximum span or the natural frequency, on many other parameters that are difficult to take into account with reasonable accuracy. Vehicle speed, weight, and dynamic characteristics, the state of the structure, roadway roughness, expansion joints, the type of bridge supports, soil-structure interaction, and influence of secondary elements are some aspects influencing the DAF. This study reviews the analytical and experimental findings on bridge dynamics and the evaluation of the DAF. 3, record 6, English, - dynamic%20amplification%20factor

Le facteur d'amplification dynamique (FAD) est un paramètre important dans la conception des ponts routiers. Pourtant il n'existe, jusqu'à maintenant, aucun consensus international quant à sa valeur, et certaines divergences existent entre les recommandations de différentes normes nationales de calcul de ponts. Ceci est dû au fait que le FAD dépend, en plus de la portée et de la fréquence propre, de plusieurs autres paramètres qui sont difficiles à isoler. La vitesse, le poids et les caractéristiques dynamiques du véhicule, l'état de la structure, l'étendue des imperfections de la planéité de la chaussée, l'état des joints de dilatation, les types d'appuis, l'interaction sol-structure, l'influence des éléments secondaires, sont quelques aspects influençant le FAD.

En avril 1997 PHARAO a été soumis à l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA) dans le cadre d'une mission plus large appelée ACES (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space). Son principe est de mettre à bord de la Station spatiale internationale (ISS) un ensemble comprenant des horloges ultra-stables et des méthodes de transfert temps/fréquences performantes. Dans la configuration de base de ACES, les deux horloges retenues sont PHARAO et un maser à hydrogène fourni par l'Observatoire de Neuchâtel (Suisse). Le transfert de temps est réalisé par un lien optique utilisant des impulsions laser très brèves (T2L2, fourni par l'Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur) et également par un lien dans le domaine micro-onde qui, lui, peut fonctionner par toutes conditions atmosphériques. En décembre 1997, la mission ACES [sera] montée sur une palette EXPRESS de la station spatiale en juin 2005. 2, record 11, French, - ensemble%20d%27horloges%20atomiques%20dans%20l%27espace

As this swirl goes into an expanding tube, it forms a precessing vortex that is detected by a heated thermistor sensor.
