Although the scanning mirror rotates at a constant speed, the IFOV [instantaneous field of view] of the sensor moves faster(relative to the ground) and scans a larger area as it moves closer to the edges. This effect results in the compression of image features at points away from the nadir and is called tangential scale distortion.  1, record 2, English, - tangential%20scale%20distortion

Même si le miroir permettant le balayage tourne à une vitesse constante, le CVI [champ de visée instantané] du capteur se déplace plus rapidement par rapport à la surface et capte une région plus grande lorsqu'il se déplace près des bords de l'image. Cet effet produit une compression des caractéristiques de l'image pour les points éloignés du nadir et s'appelle distorsion tangentielle d'échelle.  1, record 2, French, - distorsion%20tangentielle%20d%27%C3%A9chelle

[Hubble Space Telescope's wide-field planetary camera] That camera now will be fitted with the corrective mirrors as well. The mirrors act, in effect, like high-tech eyeglasses. In each pair, the first corrective mirror passes an image of the Hubble's 94. 5 inch-diameter primary mirror onto a second mirror. The second glass is formed like the Hubble's mirror, only in exact reverse, thus canceling the flaw.  1, record 4, English, - corrective%20mirror

Qualifie les deux formes isomères d'un même composé qui, possédant un carbone asymétrique, sont images l'une de l'autre dans un miroir. Les deux énantiomères font tourner le plan de polarisation de la lumière du même angle mais en sens contraire : l'un est dextrogyre (+) l'autre lévogyre (-).

When these particles drift around the Earth, they do not remain on common field lines unless the geomagnetic field distribution is axially symmetric. This effect has been called "drift shell splitting"... A drift shell is uniquely determined by the coordinate pair(Bm, Lm) as a surface formed by segments of magnetic field lines between conjugate mirror points. Therefore, drift shells which are tangent to one another or cut one another at a given longitude or local time where they have a common segment of field line, generally are separate from one another at a different longitude or local time---in Roederer's terms these drift shells "split". But since these drift shells are different entities from the outset, there is no real need to infer a notion of splitting.  2, record 6, English, - shell%20splitting

On the left, a standard measure of gyro sensitivity is used : the factor by which the Earth rotation effect is greater than that from quantum(photon) noise over one hour. This is a big factor(the graph is coloured relatively "hot"), and on that basis the results we obtained at Cashmere from the C-II gyro indicate that on this criterion it is more sensitive than all others, such a reported atomic gyros. Note that the perimeter is important, and the mirror finesse also, though less so.  3, record 7, English, - gyro%27s%20perimeter

The performance of large, ground-based optical telescopes is limited by the quality of the image that can be delivered to the final detector(or camera). The telescope and its protective dome create atmospheric variations due to thermal mismatch with the local environment. This "dome seeing" effect reduces performance because it results in a blurring of the incoming image. This effect can be minimized by allowing bulk airflow across the mirror, but this comes at the price of wind buffeting of the structure, which also reduces performance.  2, record 8, English, - dome%20seeing%20effect

When the coin is rotated in good lighting there appears to be a slight dullness or halo around the monarch's bust or design elements in the open fields. The lustre that is protected by the letters near the periphery is distinctly different. The same is true for mirror-like fields, i. e. the quality of the mirror effect is much better in the protected areas. The dulling effect is a result of the very lightest amount of contact of the coin with other objects, enough to disrupt the lustre.  1, record 9, English, - halo%20effect

Detection relies entirely on echoes returned by the main rotor blades which do yield a significant Doppler effect. Experience has shown that rotor blades, whether metal or plastic, behave like mirrors in terms of reflecting electromagnetic radiation. In other words, a blade will only give a usable return to the transmitter location if it is perpendicular to line connecting blade and transmitter. At the receiver, a series of return pulses can be detected, each corresponding to the passage of a blade. By analogy with the illumination of a rotating mirror, this pulsed return pattern is known as "blade flash".  1, record 10, English, - blade%20flash

La détection repose entièrement sur les échos renvoyés par les pales du rotor principal qui, eux, présentent un effet Doppler important. L'expérience a montré que les pales, métalliques ou plastiques, se comportent vis-à-vis du rayonnement électromagnétique comme des miroirs. En d'autres termes, elles ne réfléchissent l'émission radar que si elles sont perpendiculaires à celle-ci. A la réception, on enregistre donc une série de retours de caractères impulsionnels, chacun correspondant au passage d'une pale. Par analogie avec l'illumination d'un miroir tournant, on appelle "éclairs de pale" ces retours impulsionnels.  1, record 10, French, - %C3%A9clair%20de%20pale
