The transfer mode should only be used after rapid alignment sequences have been completed in order to reduce the possibilities of initial drift associated with a cold start.... With the transfer gyro properly aligned, calibrated and connected to the platform harness, the transfer command switch on the transfer handle is held depressed for 15 seconds, actuating relays [x, y, z]. The transfer gyro error signal is passed to the azimuth gimbal torque motor which aligns the spin axis of the platform DG [directional gyro] to that of the transfer gyro heading, derived by placing the transfer gyro on the prealigned mount, to the fore and aft line of the A/C [aircraft]. 1, record 1, English, - transfer%20gyro

Gyro de transfert. La grande problématique du navigateur était de décoller avec un cap vrai le plus précis possible pour se garantir une navigation sans trop d'histoires. Il avait été imaginé un conservateur de cap installé dans une Renault 4L qui stationnait près du bureau de piste. Avant chaque départ en mission la 4L était utilisée pour caler la centrale gyroscopique du Mirage IV au moyen du gyro de transfert prévu à cet effet dans son coffre. Cette solution assez contraignante a été abandonnée lorsqu'il est apparu que le calage manuel de la centrale, avion aligné sur l'axe de piste, était d'une précision suffisante. 2, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20de%20transfert

The Coriolis force experienced by an object moving with a velocity relative to a rotating reference frame can be used to sense this angular motion. This force is proportional to the relative velocity and to the angular rate and is perpendicular to both. This principle was demonstrated in the 19th century by Foucault with his pendulum and by Bryan with his ringing wine- glass experiment. Gyroscopes employing this principle are called Coriolis vibrating gyroscopes or CVGs. 3, record 4, English, - Coriolis%20vibratory%20gyro

Cette rotation rapide lui permet d'être très stable et d'indiquer une direction de référence [qui] permet de mesurer l'inclinaison du bâti selon trois axes de référence. [...] Dans tous les cas, le système qui entretient la rotation impose un certain nombre de conditions, notamment en terme d'encombrement et de coût.

Gyroscopic instruments... Once the artificial horizon line is aligned with the natural horizon of the earth during initial erection, the artificial horizon is kept horizontal by the gyro on which it is mounted. An erection mechanism automatically rights the gyro when precession occurs due to maneuvers or friction. When the older-type gyro tumbles as a result of extreme attitude changes, the rotor normally precesses slowly back to the horizontal plane. Even an attitude indicator in perfect condition can give slight erroneous readings. Small errors due to acceleration and deceleration are not significant because the erection device corrects them promptly; nonetheless, the pilot should be aware of them ... 3, record 5, English, - initial%20erection

Interactions laser-plasma dans le domaine relativiste [...] le comportement relativiste des électrons du plasma peut provoquer un phénomène très appréciable, car il permet d'accroître considérablement l'éclairement au foyer du laser; il s'agit de l'autofocalisation relativiste. Ce phénomène s'accompagne également du guidage du faisceau laser dans le plasma. L'autofocalisation du laser résulte d'une modification locale de l'indice de réfraction du milieu, induite par une augmentation de la masse des électrons libres du plasma. Dans ces conditions, le plasma se comporte comme une lentille convergente additionnelle qui s'oppose à la divergence naturelle du faisceau et produit une succession de «super foyers» où l'éclairement laser est encore accru d'un ordre de grandeur. 1, record 10, French, - indice%20de%20r%C3%A9fraction%20du%20milieu
