CONT

Instrumentation. - Two flow survey rakes ... were placed on the flat plate. The rakes were lent from NASA [National Aeronautics and Space Administration] Glenn Research Center (Cleveland, Ohio), where they were used as throat calibration rakes in the 10- by 10-ft supersonic wind tunnel. Each rake was 2 ft tall and had 16 total-pressure elements. Each rake was fitted with two hemispherical-tip five-hole probes for flow-angle measurements; these probes also incorporated static taps for instream static-pressure measurements.

CONT

Wind Tunnel Mechanical Technologist. … Key Activities. Under the supervision of the Uplands Facilities Operations Supervisor, the main duties will be to : Assist more experienced technicians to prepare test sections, instrumentation(i. e. cable routing, mounting hardware etc.) and model support systems for wind tunnel testing. Inspect, install, and maintain mechanical components such as model support struts, flow survey rakes and flow measurement devices; …

OBS

rake (peigne de mesure): A device consisting essentially of a row of pressure-measuring tubes or temperature-sensitive elements arranged like a rake or comb, used to sense the pressure or temperature at desired intervals in a fluid flow.

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • IT Security
  • Encryption and Decryption
CONT

Systems known... distribute content decryption keys in encrypted form to a tamper-resistant cryptographic unit connected to(or part of) the user's playback device.... Because smartcards and other tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware commonly used to implement the cryptographic unit often have limited performance and bandwidth, the cryptographic unit is often used to generate short-lived subkeys from the main content decryption key. These subkeys are then transmitted to a less secure portion of the system, such as the main playback device, and used to decrypt the content itself. The security of the system thus depends on the security of the cryptographic unit. If the cryptographic unit is compromised, attackers can determine the decryption keys and algorithms and use these to access content without authorization(e. g. by emulating an authorized cryptographic unit and/or the entire playback device).
