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 2, French, - gyroscope%20de%20transfert

The conventional method for starting such a weld was to drill a pilot hole to serve as the initial keyhole, carefully align the welding torch over the pilot hole, adjust the standoff distance, and then turn on the torch at full power.... The new starting technique does not depend on precise manual alignment. The welding torch is positioned with no more than the usual care. As the torch begins to move along the weld, the welding current is gradually increased toward the full operating level, causing the depth of the weld to increase gradually until the keyhole is formed.... The standoff is controlled by the automatic-voltage-control portion of the welding equipment. At the end of a circumferential weld, the torch can continue a short distance past the starting point to overlap and thereby complete the weld in the starting transition region. 1, record 5, English, - variable%2Dpolarity%20plasma%2Darc%20keyhole%20welding

The performance and workload assessment of such a system must have considered any compensation that may be introduced by the pilot for particular guidance system characteristics(e. g., coping with a slight localizer signal offset during initial runway alignment) or concurrent pilot use of the guidance system with limited or patchy visual references. 2, record 7, English, - parking%20alignment

This thesis presents a new approach for the initialization process(initial alignment and calibration) of strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems for air launched tactical missiles operating in an unaided inertial navigation mode... The initialization is treated as a training of Artificial Neural Network filter. A new methodology is developed which can handle, misalignment of Inertial Navigation System and scale factor, as well as bias errors of the measurement instruments used in Inertial Navigation System... It is shown that the optimization algorithm employed as well as Artificial Neural Network is quite suitable for Inertial Navigation System initialization. Prelaunch aircraft maneuvers measured by the Inertial Navigation System of the aircraft provide the necessary training data for the Neural Network for the missile navigation system that initializes the missile's inertial navigation system. 1, record 8, English, - inertial%20navigation%20system%20initialization

Heading rapid alignment involves the operation of three distinct servo loops. The variation/grivation servo loop, the azimuth gimbal servo loop and the resultant positioning servo loop. The variation/grivation servo loop responds to magnetic heading information from the flux valve. The azimuth gimbal servo loop responds to the error signal from the azimuth synchro TX. In the resultant positioning servo loop, the other two loops are compared and the resultant error signal, if any, is used to position the azimuth gimbal. 1, record 14, English, - heading%20rapid%20alignment

L'alignement rapide de cap implique le fonctionnement de trois boucles d'asservissement distinctes : la boucle d'asservissement variation/grivation, la boucle d'asservissement du cardan azimutal et la boucle d'asservissement de mise en position résultante. La boucle d'asservissement de variation/grivation répond aux informations sur le cap magnétique données par le détecteur de magnétisme. La boucle d'asservissement du cardan azimutal répond au signal d'erreur venant du synchro azimutal TX. Dans la boucle d'asservissement de mise en position résultante, les deux autres boucles sont comparées et le signal d'erreur qui en résulte, si tel est le cas, est utilisé pour mettre en position le cardan azimutal. 1, record 14, French, - alignement%20rapide%20de%20cap
