French

Domaine(s)
  • Dessin industriel
  • Dessin architectural et instruments
CONT

Les coupes permettent d'améliorer la clarté et la lecture du dessin en remplaçant les contours cachés des pièces creuses (traits interrompus courts) par des contours vus (traits pleins) [...] Une coupe représente la section et la fraction de pièce située en arrière du plan sécant.

OBS

[La transmission du «residue» aux ayants droit] une fois réalisée, il faut encore que le «personal representative» soit déchargé de sa responsabilité.

Record 4 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
OBS

Thrust ball bearings are designed to accommodate axial loads. They are not suitable for radial loads.

OBS

A comprehensive range of bearings for precision applications is presented in detail in the catalogue "SKF Precision bearings". The range includes double row cylindrical roller bearings and double row angular contact thrust ball bearings which are not shown in this General Catalogue.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
OBS

Les butées à billes sont conçues pour supporter des charges axiales. Elles n'admettent pas de charges radiales.

OBS

Une large gamme de roulements destinés aux applications de précision est présentée dans le catalogue "SKF Roulements de précision". Elle comprend notamment les roulements à deux rangées de rouleaux cylindriques et les butées à billes à contact oblique qui ne figurent pas dans le présent catalogue.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Video Technology
  • Television (Radioelectricity)
DEF

[A] video [format] presented in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

CONT

The full-frame format is used for films(often but not exclusively older films) that were shot in the 4 : 3 screen ratio(or, more accurately, the 1 : 33 : 1 aspect ratio most common in Hollywood's golden age). On home video and DVD, these films actually include some frame detail that would normally be masked off in theatrical exhibition, but you’re seeing essentially the same image shown in theaters.

Key term(s)
  • full frame format

French

Record 6 2001-05-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics of Solids
CONT

Recent kinetic in situ neutron diffraction measurements of the crystallization and phase formation processes in amorphous metallic alloys have shown that it is possible to create entirely new, intermetallic compounds with extremely novel structures and magnetic properties. The technique therefore offers the opportunity of probing the interplay of structural, magnetic and electronic properties in more detail than ever before.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique des solides
DEF

Composés ne comportant que des métaux.

CONT

Nous avons mentionné que les quasi-cristaux sont durs, mais fragiles. Les duretés caractéristiques, appréciables pour un alliage léger, sont comparables aux duretés des intermétalliques comme Al-Fe ou des aciers martensitiques de haut de gamme.

Record 7 1991-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
  • Computer Graphics
  • Statistical Methods
CONT

Following up the twenty year old work of M. E. Fisher, it was shown(SC, SK) that for anisotropic two-dimensional lattices there can be two-dimensional distributions of zeros. Shortly before this, B. Derrida, L. DeSeze, and C. Itzykson found fractal patterns in so-called hierarchical lattices. The particular attraction of this discovery was that it used renormalization theory in an essential way, described in detail in the following section.

OBS

Standard hierarchical lattice, nonstandard hierarchical lattice.
