An example will illustrate how the computer assists the operation. Joe Smith delivers a truck load of grain to the elevator, and is directed by the central control board operator(CBO) to receiving pit. Using an alphanumeric keyboard, the CBO types in Smith's account number, the code number of the receiving pit(origin) and the code number of the selected bin(destination) in which his grain will be stored. The computer then determines all possible alternate routes between the receiving pit and the bin and displays them in detail on the video screen. The operator selects the route he wants to use by typing in the proper instruction. All but the selected route codes disappear from the video screen. The computer then determines all possible simultaneous routes that could be used without interference; the operator may later select any of these routes for another operation. 1, record 4, English, - central%20control%20board%20operator

Nous allons nous servir d'un exemple pour illustrer comment l'ordinateur assiste le fonctionnement du silo. Joe Smith arrive au silo avec un camion de grain et le préposé au tableau de commande principal (PTC) le dirige vers une fosse de réception. A l'aide d'un clavier alphanumérique, le préposé introduit dans l'ordinateur le numéro de compte de M. Smith, le code de la fosse de réception (point de départ) et le code de la cellule (destination) où le grain de M. Smith sera stocké. L'ordinateur détermine alors tous les itinéraires possibles entre la fosse de réception et la cellule en question et les affiche sur l'écran de contrôle. Le préposé choisit l'itinéraire voulu en tapant l'instruction appropriée. Les codes correspondant à tous les autres itinéraires disparaissent de l'écran. L'ordinateur détermine alors tous les itinéraires partiels qui peuvent être suivis simultanément sans qu'il y ait d'obstacle; le préposé peut choisir plus tard n'importe lequel de ces itinéraires pour une autre opération. 1, record 4, French, - pr%C3%A9pos%C3%A9%20au%20tableau%20de%20commande%20principal

When the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization(UNTSO) was formed in 1948, the initial purpose was to observe the truce established in Palestine between the newly created state of Israel and its Arab neighbours. UNTSO currently assists other UN missions in the Middle East to monitor a number of truces and ceasefire arrangements. Observer groups are stationed in Egypt, on the Golan Heights, in southern Lebanon and in Beirut, and in Syria. 2, record 5, English, - United%20Nations%20Truce%20Supervision%20Organization

L'ONUST appuie actuellement d'autres missions de l'ONU au Moyen-Orient pour superviser l'application de divers accords de trêve et de cessez-le-feu.

Purge & recreate-Adjustments to Active claims through a manual process. P & R has two important roles to play in the E. I. Benefit Pay process. First, by purging and recreating, it assists in maintaining the BNOP Master file on request. Second, P & R converts Claims from the Manual Pay System to the Computer Pay System. Every claim recreated or converted produces a CPSR [Claimant's Pay Status Report]. Purge and Recreate utilises Week Codes for processing as opposed to calendar dates. A number of files and reports carry these Week-Codes and comparisons are made on Week Code values. 1, record 6, English, - benefit%20pay%20%2D%20PR

Épuration et reconstitution - Rajustements apportés aux demandes actives par procédé manuel. L'ER joue deux rôles importants dans le cadre du processus de paiement des prestations d'assurance-emploi. Premièrement, l'épuration et la reconstitution des données permet de tenir à jour le Fichier principal des prestations et des trop-payés sur demande. Deuxièmement, ce processus permet de transférer les demandes du Système manuel de paiement au Système automatisé de paiement. Chaque demande reconstituée ou convertie donne lieu à un relevé des paiements versés à un prestataire. La fonction d'épuration et de reconstitution utilise les codes hebdomadaires plutôt que les dates du calendrier. Bon nombre de dossiers et de rapports portent ces codes hebdomadaires et les comparaisons sont faites à partir de ces valeurs. 1, record 6, French, - paiement%20des%20prestations%20%2D%20ER
