[The authors] define modality as the distinct sensory channels or modes through which humans(or machines) perceive and interact with the external environment. It involves the recognition and interpretation of stimuli by specific sensory organs or technical sensors, which enable the detection and processing of sensory information. Stimuli represent the external events, patterns, or objects that trigger sensory experiences... These stimuli activate the corresponding sensors, initiating the conversion of sensory information into digital or neural signals that are further processed in our nervous system or within the circuits of a computer. 2, record 1, English, - modality

Modality refers to how things are experienced in terms of sensory inputs as sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. There are devices like cameras, haptic sensors, microphones etc. which directly correspond to human senses for the computational world. There are devices like motion sensors, keyboards, and physiological sensors that are indirect. Some researchers define modality as how information is represented and communicated between people, such as gesture, speech, written language, gaze, etc. 3, record 1, English, - modality

What is "cone of scent"? Odour particles always travel in the shape of a cone. A cone of scent is always concentrated and narrow at the source, and becomes wider and more diluted the further it travels. When a detector dog detects a substance that it has been trained to interdict, it uses the cone of scent to pinpoint the source of the odour. It starts by moving from one side to the other and back again in order to define the search area. Then, by moving up and down the cone, the dog can determine in which direction the odour becomes stronger. The dog can then follow the ever-narrowing cone of scent to its source. 1, record 6, English, - cone%20of%20scent

Qu'est-ce que le «cône de détection olfactive»? Les particules d'odeur se déplacent toujours sous forme de cône. Un cône de détection olfactive est toujours concentré et étroit à la source et il devient plus vaste et plus dilué lorsqu'il se déplace. Lorsqu'un chien détecte une substance qu'il a été dressé à repérer, il utilise le cône de détection olfactive pour trouver la source de l'odeur. Il commence à se déplacer d'un côté à l'autre et il revient afin de définir le secteur de recherche. Ensuite, en se déplaçant de haut en bas du cône, le chien est en mesure de déterminer dans quelle direction l'odeur devient plus prononcée. Il peut alors suivre le cône d'odeur jusqu'à sa source. 1, record 6, French, - c%C3%B4ne%20de%20d%C3%A9tection%20olfactive

A circulated coin is primarily judged on the basis of the degree of wear of the coin, the less the better. An uncirculated coin has no wear at all and is judged according to at least three factors :(1) qualities of the lustre,(2) surfaces, and(3) strike.

L'état de conservation des pièces dépend de très nombreux facteurs théoriquement indépendants de l'âge de la pièce : mode de fabrication, nature et qualité de l'outillage, durée et forme de circulation et conditions de conservation. Facteur déterminant pour le collectionneur, le degré de conservation doit être rigoureusement établi. En principe, c'est toujours la plus mauvaise face qui doit être retenue pour qualifier la pièce.
