PASS RECEPTION [5 records]

Record 1 2013-08-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Law of Evidence
CONT

A. may be under a duty to inform B..., B. may be under a duty to record such information and pass it on... to C., and so on... Subject to exceptions designed to cover cases such as those which have just been mentioned, the unreliability of hearsay upon hearsay was thought... to justify the continued prohibition of its reception.(Cross, p. 481).

CONT

Multiple hearsay would include double hearsay and instances where the chain of repeated statements is longer still, as where the witness reports that A told him that B said that C had stated a given fact. (McCormick, p. 585)

Record 2 2010-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

A sweep ramp provides the tuning voltage for a voltage-tuned oscillator and is simultaneously applied to the horizontal-deflection system of a cathode-ray-tube display. The local-oscillator frequency is mixed with the input signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is detected, filtered, and applied to the vertical deflection plates of the CRT [cathode-ray-tube].

CONT

The receiver has to have suitable pass band characteristics to deal with the pulse modulation side bands, and must be free from paralysis following reception of a large signal... Its output is rectified and amplified and applied to the cathode-ray tube display, either as a deflexion or an intensity modulation. The cathode-ray tube is also supplied with a range time base..., synchronized to the pulse transmission, and suitable calibration devices... are usually also necessary. The form of the display unit depends on the particular radar application, and on what coordinate or coordinates other than range are to be presented. For example, in the plan position indicator the time base starts from the centre of the tube and goes radically outwards in a direction depending on the azimuth of the beamed aerials(which sweeps continuously), and the signal is presented as a spot intensifier.

Record 4 2005-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Cytology
CONT

Signal reception. Most signal receptors are plasma membrane proteins. The signal protein matches the shape of a specific site on the receptor protein. The signal protein acts as ligand, a small protein that specifically binds to large one. The binding of the signal protein causes a conformational change in the receptor protein, which in turn can now activate another molecule. Most signal proteins are water soluble and too large to pass through the plasma membrane.

Record 5 1979-06-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ice Hockey
OBS

pass reception. The receiver has his head up, watching the puck and his stick flat on the ice as a target. As the puck reaches the stick blade, the blade is cupped over to cradle the puck, and the blade is allowed to "give" a little by relaxing the wrists.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hockey sur glace
OBS

réception de la passe. Le joueur qui reçoit la passe a la tête haute, observe la rondelle et son bâton est posé à plat sur la glace pour servir de cible. Au moment où la rondelle touche la lame du bâton, celle-ci est inclinée de façon à contrôler la rondelle et le joueur fait reculer légèrement la lame en relâchant les muscles des poignets.
