Although the potential for micro-movement analysis in computer vision is huge, core aspects of development need to be greatly improved to get accuracy rates to match facial expression analysis. Challenges facing this field can include the lack of available datasets, the speed and subtlety of micro-movements and the noise that occurs through digital capture devices, especially through high-speed cameras that are used to capture more information for analysis. 5, record 1, English, - micro%2Dmotion%20analysis

In conventional vibration testing of space hardware, the acceleration input to the base of a test article is controlled to specifications that are typically derived from the article interface acceleration at higher level of assembly. This conventional approach to testing has been known for over 30 years to greatly overtest the test article at its own natural frequencies. In recent years, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory led the development and implementation of an improved method called force limited vibration(FLV) testing. In addition to controlling the input acceleration, the FLV testing measures and limits the reaction forces between the test article and the shaker. 1, record 4, English, - force%20limited%20vibration%20testing

Lors de tests vibratoires conventionnels de matériel spatial, l'accélération imposée à la base de l'unité mise à l'essai est contrôlée selon des spécifications habituellement tirées de l'accélération d'interface de l'unité à des niveaux avancés d'assemblage. Depuis maintenant 30 ans, cette approche conventionnelle de mise à l'essai du matériel est reconnue pour surtester les éléments à leurs propres fréquences naturelles. Au cours des dernières années, le JPL [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] de la NASA a été le chef de file dans le développement et la mise en œuvre d'une nouvelle méthode de test vibratoire où la force d'interface est aussi contrôlée (FLV pour Force Limited Vibration testing). En plus de contrôler l'accélération imposée, la méthode d'essai FLV mesure les forces exercées entre l'élément testé et le pot vibrant et limite ces dernières. 1, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%27essai%20FLV

The performance of all the Voyager Workstations is improved by addition of our proprietary Delayed Extraction(DE) technology. By introducing a time delay between ionization of the sample and extraction of the ion from the source, adduct ions can be separated from the ion of interest prior to entry into the flight tube. This is especially important for analysis of oligonucleotides and glycoproteins, which tend to bind to matrix molecules. The effect is a reduction in chemical noise. Higher signal-to-noise ratios are achieved along with greatly improved resolution. 3, record 8, English, - delayed%20extraction%20technology

Service to Canadians will be greatly improved by using existing networks of departmental offices, such as the CECs [Canada Employment Centres], to provide information and services on behalf of several departments. This will include the provision of forms, and basic information on programs and services. In addition, departments will also use these "single-window" service centres as the site for regular "service clinics" which will give Canadians living in smaller centres access to a much broader range of federal services right in their own communities. 2, record 15, English, - single%2Dwindow%20service%20centre

The gradual debranning of wheat bran was possible because wheat bran is composed of about eight layers and the physical binding force between these layers is loosened upon absorption of moisture. When different mechanical actions, such as friction and abrasion, are applied to tempered wheat, the "bran" can be sequentially removed (Dexter and Wood, 1996). The fractions, by-products of the debranning process, are rich in dietary fibre (Wood and Mullin, 1996) and may have great potential as functional food ingredients. Wheat bran may reduce the risk of colon cancer and alleviates constipation. [Source: ethanol project - Lkstarwk.en p. 1]. 1, record 16, English, - debranning
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Debranning of wheat provides a starch enriched feedstock for ethanol production. The economics of this process will be greatly improved by utilization of the co-produced bran fractions. These products are novel; although previously commercially available combined in the form of conventional wheat bran, the separated fractions have not been available. The physicochemical and physiological properties of these fractions are not known, but they have significant potential for impact in the growing health food or functional food markets.

Le décorticage graduel du son de blé est possible parce que le son de blé se compose d'environ huit couches et que la force physique qui unit ces couches diminue lorsque le son absorbe de l'eau. En soumettant le blé conditionné à divers traitements mécaniques comme la friction et l'abrasion, on peut en éliminer le «son» par étapes (Dexter et Wood, 1996). Les fractions ainsi obtenues, sous-produits du décorticage, sont riches en fibres alimentaires (Wood et Mullin, 1996) et pourraient avoir beaucoup de potentiel comme ingrédients alimentaires fonctionnels. Le son de blé, qui soulage la constipation, réduirait en outre le risque de cancer du côlon. [Source: projet éthanol - Lkstarwk.fr p. 1] 1, record 16, French, - d%C3%A9corticage

Le décorticage du son donne un produit riche en amidon qui peut servir de matière première pour la production d'éthanol. La rentabilité de ce traitement s'accroîtrait considérablement si les co-produits du décorticage étaient utilisés. Il s'agit de produits nouveaux : on les trouvait auparavant sur le marché, combinés sous la forme classique du son de blé, mais les fractions n'étaient pas vendues séparément. Or, bien que leurs propriétés physico-chimiques et physiologiques nous soient inconnues, ces fractions ont cependant un potentiel considérable pour le marché des aliments santé ou fonctionnels, toujours en expansion.

Our "Accurate Imaging System" sees to it that the same high power(70 watts per channel...) is available to each of three front channels(left, right and center). The advantages?

Le premier avantage réside dans le fait que les dialogues se comprennent plus aisément; le second tient à ce que les mouvements des sources sonores (de la droite vers la gauche, de l'avant vers l'arrière, et inversement) sont mieux perçus et plus réguliers. 1, record 17, French, - image%20instrumentale%20pr%C3%A9cise
