Record 1 2021-08-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Air Navigation Aids
CONT

The information the pilot sees may be displayed in different ways. One, a head-down display(HDD), is mounted in the plane's instrument panel. The HDD is not transparent but is bigger and more detailed. The images displayed on the HDD are photo quality, down to the trees on the mountains.

OBS

head-down display; HDD : designations standardized by NATO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Aides à la navigation aérienne
DEF

Affichage d'informations utiles au pilotage d'un spationef ou d'un aéronef sur un dispositif situé en dehors du champ de vision du pilote, lorsqu'il dirige son regard vers l'extérieur, ce qui l'oblige à incliner la tête et à accommoder.

OBS

visualisation tête basse; HDD : désignations uniformisées par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes.

OBS

visualisation tête basse; VTB : désignations normalisées par l'OTAN.

Record 2 2015-12-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
  • Computer Memories
DEF

A data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently.

CONT

The term "SSD" is used for two different kinds of products. The first, SSDs based on fast, volatile memory such as SDRAM [synchronous dynamic random access memory], ... The second type of SSD uses flash memory to store data.

CONT

An SSD does much the same job functionally(e. g., saving your data while the system is off, booting your system, etc.) as an HDD [hard disk drive], but instead of a magnetic coating on top of platters, the data is stored on interconnected flash memory chips that retain the data even when there's no power present.

Key term(s)
  • solid state disc

French

Domaine(s)
  • Supports d'information (Informatique)
  • Mémoires (Informatique)
DEF

Composant de stockage de données qui est constitué de mémoires non volatiles à semiconducteurs, généralement des mémoires flash, et d'une électronique de commande, et qui remplit la même fonction qu'un disque dur.

OBS

Un disque SSD ne comporte aucune composante en mouvement, donc il est plus solide et plus fiable qu'un disque traditionnel.

OBS

disque statique à semiconducteurs; DSS; disque statique : termes, abréviation et définition publiés au Journal officiel de la République française le 1er avril 2015.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Medios de almacenamiento (Procesamiento de datos)
  • Memorias (Computadoras)
CONT

El SSD (solid state drive) es un dispositivo de almacenamiento de datos que usa memoria no volátil (NAND) tales como flash, o memoria volátil como la SDRAM, para almacenar datos, en lugar de los platos giratorios encontrados en los discos duros convencionales. Aunque técnicamente no son "discos" a veces se traduce erróneamente en español la 'D' de SSD como 'Disk' cuando en realidad representa la palabra 'Drive', que podría traducirse como unidad o dispositivo.

Record 3 2015-09-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Heating
DEF

A measure of how relatively cold(or hot) a year was when compared with the heating degree-day(HDD) average.

OBS

When the HDD index is above([or] below) 1, the observed temperature is colder([or] warmer) than normal.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Chauffage
DEF

Mesure précisant à quel point une année était relativement froide (ou chaude) par rapport à la moyenne de degrés-jours de chauffage (DJC).

OBS

Lorsque l'indice de DJC est supérieur ([ou] inférieur) à 1, la température observée est plus froide ([ou] plus chaude) que la normale.

Record 4 2011-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
  • Drilling and Boring (Construction)
CONT

The HDD construction method is used to install pipelines beneath obstacles-such as stream crossings, lakes, coastal bluffs and road or railroad crossings where conventional open trench pipe construction techniques would cause unacceptable environmental disturbance or resource impacts. Using the continuous bore hole method, a HDD tunnels beneath surface obstacles and then pulls pipeline back through the underground tunnel, leaving the surface undisturbed. The HDD installation involves four main steps : pre-site planning, drilling the pilot hole, expanding pilot hole by reaming, and pullback of a pre-fabricated steel pipe string.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Sondage et forage miniers
  • Sondage et forage (Construction)
CONT

Le forage directionnel horizontal est une technique de construction pour l'installation de conduites ou de câbles de petites dimensions ne nécessitant pas le creusage de tranchées. Elle s'est développée à partir des technologies de forage vertical principalement utilisées en industrie pétrolière.

Record 5 2011-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
  • Drilling and Boring (Construction)
CONT

The proponents propose three types of watercourse crossing techniques : open cut, isolated and [horizontal directional drilling]. Open-cut and isolated crossing techniques involve excavation and in-stream work. HDD crossings leave the bed and banks undisturbed and, therefore, avoid adverse impacts on aquatic habitat.
