The satellite concept... consists of a building, surrounded by aircraft gate positions separated from the terminal and is reached by means of surface, underground, or above-ground connection. The aircraft are normally parked in radial or parallel positions around the satellite, which can have common or separate departure lounges. Since boarding and disembarkation of the aircraft is accomplished from a central area, mechanical systems may be employed to carry passengers and baggage between the terminal and satellite. 3, record 7, English, - satellite%20concept

In the Linear concept... aircraft are parked on the apron at the face of the terminals in perpendicular, angled or parallel parked positions. An airside corridor may be located parallel to the terminal face nearest the apron, with access to the terminal and aircraft gate positions at intervals. The linear configuration can be either centralized or decentralized. Ease of access and relatively short walking distances for originating passengers can result if the passenger is delivered to a point at or near his gate of departure by a vehicular circulation system(road and/or transit), which becomes a more dominant element in this concept than in the other concepts. The terminal area will be fully decentralized by locating the departure lounges, ticketing and baggage areas at each aircraft gate position. 2, record 9, English, - linear%20system

Record number: 10, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A high speed device concept that relies on electrons traveling not within a layer but across its thickness. The switching speed of a transistor is limited by the time needed for an electron to traverse the device's middle terminal-the gate in a FET, the base in a bipolar device. Electrons lose speed as they travel because they bump into atoms and each other. By making the path short enough, the electron will sail from one side to the other like a projectile without a single collision. Such ballistic transport was first demonstrated last year at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Labs(Yorktown Heights, N. Y.). 1, record 10, English, - ballistic%20transistor
