Afin d'améliorer sa capacité de détection des roulements défectueux, [la compagnie de chemin de fer] s'apprête à installer son premier détecteur acoustique de roulements défectueux. Ces détecteurs utilisent des microphones pour capter des lectures sonores des roulements au moment du passage des trains, puis ils analysent les ondes sonores de ces lectures afin de repérer toute défectuosité des boîtes d’essieu. Ces détecteurs servent spécifiquement à l'entretien préventif, puisqu'on estime qu'ils peuvent déceler une défectuosité de 5 000 à 10 000 milles (8 000 à 16 000 km) avant qu'elle se produise. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20acoustique%20de%20roulements%20d%C3%A9fectueux

Rate gyroscopes provide a means for measuring angular rate about a particular axis and are traditionally used in a variety of high accuracy control and guidance systems in aircraft, missiles and ships. The conventional rate gyro, based on a high speed rotor, is a mature but relatively complex, delicate and expensive product. For these reasons and the increasing market for less expensive devices, a great deal of research effort has been invested into the development of a rate gyro with a vibrating sensitive element, which would eliminate the need for ball bearing suspensions and hence reduce the mechanical complexity and cost whilst greatly increasing life and robustness. The principle of operation of these devices is based on the coriolis force, which couples together two degenerate modes of vibration of the sensitive element when the sensor rotates. 1, record 6, English, - conventional%20rate%20gyro

Caissons... are load-bearing enclosures sunk into the ground, usually to protect excavation for a foundation, aid construction of the substructure, and serve as part of the permanent structure.... In foundations, caissons are used to facilitate construction of shafts or piers extending from near the surface of land or water to a bearing stratum. This type of construction can carry heavy loads to great depths.... They range in size from abut that of a pile to over 100 ft in length and width. Some small ones are considered caisson piles.... For some of the smaller caissons used for foundation shafts, the casing generally is not assigned any load-carrying capacity, or it may be withdrawn as concrete fills the hole. 3, record 7, English, - caisson%20pile
