Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2017-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Control Systems (Motor Vehicles)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Wheels and Tires (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

A component responsible for modulating the pressure and therefore the braking force in direct response to control signals received from the controller.

CONT

As soon as a wheel locks during braking, the logic controller sends a signal to the modulator to reduce air pressure in the brake cylinder of that wheel, thus preventing the wheel from locking up.

OBS

modulator: term and definition standardized by ISO.

OBS

modulator: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dispositifs de commande (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
  • Roues et pneus (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Élément chargé de moduler la pression et donc la force de freinage en fonction du signal de commande reçu du calculateur.

CONT

Dès que l'une des roues est en condition de blocage pendant la période de freinage, le boîtier électronique commande le modulateur pour réduire la pression d'air dans le cylindre de frein correspondant, évitant ainsi le blocage de la roue.

OBS

modulateur : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

OBS

modulateur : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Sistemas de regulación (Vehículos automotores)
  • Fiabilidad y ensayos (Ingeniería)
  • Frenos (Vehículos automotores y bicicletas)
  • Ruedas y neumáticos (Vehículos automotores y bicicletas)
DEF

Componente responsable de modular la presión y por tanto la fuerza del frenado en respuesta directa a las señales de control recibidas del controlador.

CONT

Cuando una de las ruedas se encuentra en situación de bloqueo durante el frenado, el microprocesador acciona el modulador y reduce la presión de aire en el cilindro correspondiente, evitando que la rueda se bloquee.

Record 3 2004-09-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
OBS

According to John Hackett from the company COM DEV Ltd, in charge of the Greenhouse Gas Sensor Development Study, Gas-Differencing-Cell technology is similar to Gas Correlation Cell technology and is meant to include Length Modulator Cells and Dual Path systems-but not Pressure Modulator Cells

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
CONT

L'instrument MOPITT vole actuellement sur la plate-forme TERRA et permet des mesures du méthane troposphérique via une technique de corrélation spectroscopique.

Record 4 2002-09-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Transmission Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Low modulator pressure(open throttle) will hasten the downshift; high modulator pressure(closed throttle) will delay downshifts.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)

Record 5 1993-03-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucking (Road Transport)
  • Transmission Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

In second gear start units, the presence of governor pressure at the bottom of the 1-2 shift valve and forward regulator pressure on the 1-2 modulator valve, plus the assistance of spring force under the 1-2 shift valve, causes the shift valve to move upward against its stop.
