Two redundant cable reels support the Mobile Transporter and Mobile Base System, a movable platform that allows the station's robotic arm to move back and forth along the truss during construction and maintenance work. The Trailing Umbilical System 2 cable appears to have been cut by the system designed to sever it if it ever became snarled or tangled. Video down linked from station cameras confirmed the cable was cut. The Trailing Umbilical System 1 was not affected. The inadvertent severing of the cable tripped one of two redundant circuit breakers on the S0 Truss, which provides power to the Mobile Transporter. The transporter is not scheduled to be used in the near future, but the severed Trailing Umbilical System 2 cable can be replaced through a spacewalk to provide the required redundancy. 3, record 9, English, - trailing%20umbilical%20system

The Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator(SPDM) is an essential tool for maintaining and servicing the Space station. With its dual-arm design providing added flexibility, the SPDM will remove and replace smaller components; on the Station exterior, where precise handling : is required. It will be equipped with lights, video equipment, a tool platform and four tool holder. The SPDM can perform dexterous tasks by sensing various forces and moments on the payload. In response, it can automatically compensate its movements to ensure the payload is manipulated smoothly. With its two arms, the SPDM will load and unload objects, use robotic tools, attach and detach covers and install various units of the Space Station. It will either be attached to the end of Canadarm2 or ride independently on the Mobile Base System [MBS] and have Canadarm2 deliver equipment to it for servicing. It also has four cameras that will provide the crew inside the Station with additional views of the work areas. Like Canadarm2 and the MBS, the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator will be controlled by the crew inside the International Space Station. This system will allow the crew to perform many of the tasks that would otherwise require an astronaut to perform during a demanding spacewalk. 5, record 10, English, - special%20purpose%20dexterous%20manipulator

Le manipulateur agile spécialisé (SPDM) est un outil essentiel à l'entretien de la Station spatiale. Grâce à ses deux bras, qui lui donnent une souplesse accrue, le SPDM pourra enlever et remplacer de petites composantes à l'extérieur de la Station, là ou une manipulation de précision est requise. II sera équipé de projecteurs, de matériel vidéo, d'une plate-forme d'outils et de quatre porte-outils. Le SPDM peut effectuer des tâches délicates en captant des forces et des moments sur la charge utile. En réponse, il peut automatiquement compenser ses mouvements pour assurer une manipulation en douceur de la charge utile. Grâce à ses deux bras, le SPDM chargera et déchargera des objets, utilisera des outils robotiques, fixera et enlèvera des couvercles et installera divers éléments de la Station spatiale. II sera fixé à l'extrémité du Canadarm2 ou fonctionnera indépendamment sur la Base mobile tandis que le Canadarm2 lui fournira l'équipement d'entretien. II est aussi équipé de quatre caméras qui donneront aux astronautes à l'intérieur de la Station des points d'observation supplémentaires des secteurs de travail. À l'instar du Canadarm2 et du MBS, le Manipulateur agile spécialisé sera commandé par l'équipage se trouvant à l'intérieur de la Station spatiale internationale. Le système permettra ainsi à l'équipage d'accomplir bon nombre des tâches qui autrement nécessiteraient une éprouvante sortie extravéhiculaire de la part d'un astronaute. 5, record 10, French, - manipulateur%20agile%20sp%C3%A9cialis%C3%A9

The XHTML Basic document type includes the minimal set of modules required to be an XHTML host language document type, and in addition it includes images, forms, basic tables, and object support. It is designed for Web clients that do not support the full set of XHTML features; for example, Web clients such as mobile phones, PDAs, pagers, and settop boxes. The document type is rich enough for content authoring. XHTML Basic is designed as a common base that may be extended. For example, an event module that is more generic than the traditional HTML 4 event system could be added or it could be extended by additional modules from XHTML Modularization such as the Scripting Module. The goal of XHTML Basic is to serve as a common language supported by various kinds of user agents. 1, record 11, English, - XHTML%26trade%3B%20Basic

Le type de document XHTML élémentaire (XHTML Basic) comprend l'ensemble minimal de modules requis afin de pouvoir être un type de document XHTML hôte, et de plus il comprend le support des images, des formulaires, des tableaux élémentaires et des objets. Il a été conçu pour les clients Web qui ne supportent pas toutes les possibilités de XHTML ; par exemple, les clients Web, comme les téléphones cellulaires, PDAs (Agendas électroniques), les pagers, et les set-top boxes. Le type de document est suffisamment riche pour l'édition de contenu. XHTML élémentaire est conçu comme une base commune qui peut être étendue. Par exemple, un module événement qui est plus générique que celui du système traditionnel des événements de HTML 4 pourrait être ajouté grâce à Modularisation XHTML avec le module de scripting. Le but de XHTML élémentaire est de servir de langage commun à un ensemble varié d'agents utilisateurs. 1, record 11, French, - XHTML%26trade%3B%20El%C3%A9mentaire

Pour pouvoir contrôler efficacement tous ces systèmes, il a fallu développer une station de travail robotisée (RWS en anglais, pour Robotic Workstation) qui permet à une seule personne d'avoir la maîtrise de tous les degrés de liberté du télémanipulateur et des systèmes qui y sont rattachés. Cette station se retrouvera à deux endroits sur l'ISS [International Space Station], dans le module Destiny et dans la future coupole. Deux manettes permettent de contrôler les déplacements du bras selon trois axes de translation et sept axes de rotation. Une console sert à activer l'éclairage, les caméras et les systèmes du bras et un ordinateur portable gère toutes les fonctions du bras à l'aide d'un logiciel spécialement conçu. Trois écrans plats à cristaux liquides donnent trois vues sélectionnables de la zone de travail. 3, record 14, French, - poste%20de%20travail%20robotique

Mobile work platforms come in various shapes, sizes, and price categories, including lightweight, one-man push-around models; manually propelled or towable scissors-type units; and large, self-propelled booms that reach out 80 ft or more. The sliding-frame elevating platform is the simplest, most economical version of a one-man push-around towable unit. It consists of a railed platform affixed to a frame that slides up or down on a vertical mast set on a mobile base. The platform can be raised or lowered mechanically by a hand crank winch and cable suspension system. Or, the units can be powered up and down hydraulically or by compressed air. Power sources can be AC or DC electric motors or plant air. 1, record 19, English, - push%2Daround
