Record 1 2015-02-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments
DEF

A scale whose scale marks appear in a discontinuous manner and are composed of a set of aligned numbers indicating directly the numerical value of the quantity measured. A digital scale has discontinuous indication.

CONT

Digital scale composed of four series of numbers placed on rollers; the numbers to be read appear in the aperture (window).

OBS

The set of numbers constituting a digital scale can be located on one or more surfaces, plane or otherwise, on which the numbers to be read appear suddenly.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de mesure
DEF

Échelle dont les repères apparaissent de façon discontinue et sont constitués par des chiffres alignés indiquant directement la valeur numérique de la grandeur mesurée. L'échelle numérique est à indication discontinue.

OBS

L'ensemble des chiffres constituant une échelle numérique peut être placé sur un ou plusieurs surfaces planes (ou non) sur lesquelles les chiffres à lire apparaissent brusquement.

OBS

échelle numérique : recommandation internationale de la Troisième Conférence Internationale de Métrologie Légale, 1968.

Record 4 1992-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Liver and Biliary Ducts
OBS

Index : Any numerical characteristic developed for use in the analysis of quantitative information; specifically, a number expressing the magnitude of a given quantity of a similar kind, or of itself at some other period, the latter in each case being given by convention the value 100(or other power of ten) in the scale of relative value.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Foie et voies biliaires
OBS

Deux types de solutions saturées en cholestérol ont été mises en évidence: les solutions métastables modérément saturées (...) les solutions réellement sursaturées, labiles (...) Le degré de sursaturation est donc vraisemblablement très important dans la formation des calculs.
