Explainable AI(XAI) stands at the forefront of a transformative movement, aiming to shed light on the opaque decision-making processes of AI systems. This practice responds to the challenges posed by the "black box" nature of many AI models, where the reasoning behind decisions remains concealed. [The] primary goal of explainable AI involves making AI systems’ decisions transparent, interpretable, and understandable to humans. 7, record 1, English, - explainable%20AI

The most common current wing design is the cantilever. A single large beam, called the main spar, runs through the wing, typically nearer the leading edge at about 25 percent of the total chord. In flight, the wings generate lift, and the wing spars are designed to carry this load through the fuselage to the other wing. To resist fore and aft movement, the wing will usually be fitted with a second smaller drag-spar nearer the trailing edge, tied to the main spar with structural elements or a stressed skin. The wing must also resist twisting forces, done either by a monocoque "D" tube structure forming the leading edge, or by the aforementioned linking two spars in some form of box beam or lattice girder structure. 4, record 4, English, - cantilever%20wing

Register forms are merely continuous strip forms which are contained inside a box made especially for use with the forms. The forms are accordion folded into "packs" and these packs are put in the register box with the first form to be written upon threaded up and over a metal plate which serves as a writing base or platform.(...) After the form is written upon, it is ejected from a slot in the top end of the box and the next form is automatically pulled into position for the next writing. The movement of the form up and out of the box may be done manually with a crank on the side of the register or with a finger lever on the top of the box or it may be done electrically. One of the principal features of the register is that after the form has been written upon, one copy is automatically guided into a container built into the bottom of the register. 1, record 6, English, - register

A technique for programming robot motion, usually following a continuous path motion, but sometimes referring also to teaching point-to-point motions by using a teach box. For continuous path motions, the operator grasps a handle which is secured to the arm and guides the robot through the desired task or motions while the robot controller records movement information and any activation signals for external equipment. This contrasts with off-line programming, which can be accomplished away from the manipulator. 1, record 7, English, - lead%2Dthrough%20programming
