The escape board works like a one-way maze : the bees can go down to the brood chamber but can’t figure out how to get back up to the honey supers. The beekeeper leaves the escape board in the hive for a day or two, and then returns to collect the honey supers. 3, record 1, English, - escape%20board

Le vide-hausses fait office de labyrinthe à sens unique : les abeilles peuvent descendre vers le corps de ruche, mais ne peuvent remonter vers les hausses. L'apiculteur laisse le vide-hausses dans la ruche pendant un jour ou deux, puis revient récupérer les hausses. 3, record 1, French, - chasse%2Dabeilles

Another promising development is that of "non linear" optical materials which go from clear to dark when subjected to an electrical charge. This transition can serve as the on-off switch that is the essence of digital transmission of data. Non-linear optical materials are expected to figure prominently in the fiber-optic data transmission networks that are expected to develop during the decade. Present fiber-optic systems use glass, which act not as a switch but as a passive conduit. 1, record 2, English, - non%2Dlinear%20optical%20material
