Instead of making components out of silicon, some investigators are trying to develop data storage systems using biological molecules. Robert L. Birge of Syracuse University, for example, is examining the computational potential of molecules related to bacteriorhodopsin, a pigment that alters its configuration in response to light. One advantage of such a molecule is that it could be used in an optical computer, in which streams of photons would take the place of electrons.  2, record 1, English, - molecular%20computing

Des équipes de chimistes et de physiciens essaient de construire des systèmes d'enregistrement de données en utilisant des molécules biologiques. [Des] spécialistes de chimie supramoléculaire étudient l'emploi de molécules liées par des forces faibles, dont on commande les réactions, tandis que [d'autres étudient] des molécules proches de la bactériorhodopsine, qui change de configuration quand elle est éclairée. Ces molécules seraient utilisées dans des ordinateurs optiques, où des photons prendraient la place des électrons.  2, record 1, French, - informatique%20mol%C3%A9culaire

The theoretical model, which we call Central Lobe Energy Distribution Technique, provides the equations for evaluating optical distortion caused by the absorbed thermal flux density on the mirrors, the mechanical bowing and subsequent distortion of the mounting configuration and the criteria for sizing the optical components in relation to the laser beam diameter.  2, record 3, English, - absorbed%20thermal%20flux

[...] l'ordre de grandeur du flux thermique absorbé par changement de phase est généralement très important et la compression d'un liquide est, a priori, bien moins coûteuse que celle d'un gaz. De plus, ce type de protection a été extrêmement peu étudié dans le cas du refroidissement de matériaux poreux soumis à un écoulement chaud.  2, record 3, French, - flux%20thermique%20absorb%C3%A9

The detection of the differential phase shift between optical signals counterpropagating in the two possible directions can be performed in a manner similar to that in a conventional gyroscope. Obviously care must be taken to minimize any path differences between the two counterpropagating signals other than that due to the small nonreciprocal Sagnac phase shift caused by rotation of the gyroscope. A detection method, such as that using an intentional nonreciprocal phase modulation and phase sensitive detection for a minimum configuration gyroscope... would serve this detection purpose.  2, record 5, English, - Sagnac%20phase%20shift
