The CHIA is an external support equipment which provides interfaces between the cargo items and the ULC [Unpressurized Logistic Carrier] in orbit, during the assembly and maintenance operations of the ISS [International Space Station]. Its basic design will interface plates or boxes where cargo items can be accommodated. The CHIAs will provide heating as well as a data bus to verify that the cargo items are in operational conditions and within their safety margins. Brazil will supply a series of CHIAs in quantities and shapes to be defined. They will be fully compatible with external robotics operations (EVR) and with the crew’s external vehicular activities (EVA). 3, record 3, English, - CHIA%20interface%20plate%20assembly

... we’ve added hardware texture to our top selling Novoview SP1 flight simulator visual. It's called SP1/T and it gives rotary and fixed-wing pilots the kind of peripheral information that night/dusk training used to lack. So cloud or terrain pattern, even cracks on the runway, will now provide the same important cues as in the real world. 1, record 5, English, - hardware%20texture

(...) nous avons ajouté un générateur de texture à notre système de visualisation de simulateur de vol qui se vend le mieux, le Novoview SP1. Désigné SP1/T, la nouvelle version fournit aux pilotes d'aéronefs à voilure tournante ou fixe le type d'information périphérique qui manquait jusqu'ici pour l'entraînement au vol nocturne ou crépusculaire. Ainsi, les formations de nuages ou les caractéristiques du relief et même les fissures de la piste, fourniront désormais des indications aussi importantes que dans la réalité. 1, record 5, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20de%20texture
