Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Completions are the output produced by AI [artificial intelligence] in response to a given input or prompt. When a user inputs a prompt, the AI model processes it and generates text that logically follows or completes the given input. These completions are based on the patterns, structures, and information the model has learned during its training phase on vast datasets.

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Space Centres
CONT

The present work aims at trying out Acoustic Impact Technique as a possible means of deployment at field level for the purpose of flaw detection in composite helicopter blades. The principle underlying Acoustic Impact Testing is simple. The sound produced when a structure is tapped is mainly at the frequencies of major structural modes of vibration, which are structural properties. Any difference in the sound is necessarily due to modification affected to the force input by the defect in the structure. A study of the force time history of response or its fast fourier transform makes it possible to locate and detect sub surface flaws.

Son équipage mobile comporte toujours un carter étanche flottant dans un liquide à haute viscosité, d'où son appellation courante gyro flottant; la qualité du liquide de flottaison est choisie aussi voisine que possible de la densité moyenne de l'équipage mobile, afin de soulager au mieux les ensembles pivot-pierre matérialisant l'axe de sortie, par un équilibre entre la poussée d'Archimède et le poids apparent de l'équipage mobile.

  • System Names
  • Government Accounting
OBS

The financial reports produced by the central accounting system generally include only cash transactions. Many departments have therefore developed supplementary accounting systems to provide reports that include additional management information, such as accruals, commitments, detailed cost information, budgets, or variance analysis. This management information can be input into the Departmental Reporting System operated by the Department of Supply and Services in accordance with media exchange protocol established with that department.

Aussi, tout ministère qui utilise ces services n'a pas à présenter de rapports supplémentaires pour les comptes centraux du Canada parce que les mêmes données comptables servent à produire tant les rapports financiers des ministères que les rapports préparés à partir des comptes centraux.

Subject field(s)
  • Energy Transformation
  • Electric Power Stations
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

The ratio of the electric power produced by a power plant to the amount of heat produced by the fuel.

OBS

A measure of the efficiency with which the plant converts thermal to electric energy.

DEF

The calorific content of the total useful heat or energy produced by a plant, expressed as a percentage of the calorific content of the total fuel consumed, or simply : heat output [divided by] heat input [multiplied by] 100.

OBS

In respect of a boiler, "heat output" relates to the energy value of the useful hot water or steam produced. In considering electricity generation, however, the overall thermal efficiency is the total energy value of the electricity "sent out", expressed as a percentage of the energy value (gross as fired) of the fuel used. This overall concept takes account of both boiler and steam turbine losses. A modern power station achieves about 35 per cent thermal efficiency.

OBS

Compare with "heat rate", a related concept which some authors consider as a synonym of "thermal efficiency".

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

A conventional animation is created in a fairly fixed sequence : The story for the animation is written(or perhaps merely conceived), then a storyboard is laid out.... Next, the soundtrack(if any) is recorded, a detailed layout is produced(with a drawing for every scene in the animation), and the soundtrack is read-that is, the instants at which significant sounds occur are recorded in order. The detailed layout and the soundtrack are then correlated. Next, certain key frames of the animation are drawn-these are the frames in which the entities being animated are at extreme or characteristic positions, from which their intermediate position can be inferred. The intermediate frames are then filled in(this is called inbetweening), and a trial film is made(a pencil test)... Many stages of conventional animation seem ideally suited to computer assistance, especially inbetweening and coloring, which can be done using the seed-fill techniques.... Before the computer can be used, however, the drawings must be digitized. This can be done by using optical scanning, by tracing the drawings with a data tablet, or by producing the original drawings with a drawing program in the first place. The drawings may need to be postprocessed(e. g., filtered) to clean up any glitches arising from the input process(especially optical scanning), and to smooth the contours somewhat. The composition stage, in which foreground and background figures are combined to generate the individual frames for the final animation, can be done with the image-composition techniques....

Low energy gas(LEG) is produced by air gasification processes where a portion of the input wood(about 20 percent) is combusted with air to provide process heat. LEG can be used to displace fossil fuels by retrofitting oil or gas-fired boilers, kilns, dryers and space heaters. In addition, it can be cooled and cleaned for use in internal combustion engines to generate shaft power or electricity. Due to the low energy content, economics dictate that the gas be used immediately and not piped great distances.
