On the Internet, criminals are shrouded in anonymity, making cyber investigations a difficult task for police.

Key term(s)
  • cyberinvestigation

French

Domaine(s)
  • Police
  • Internet et télématique
CONT

Inauguré en 2016, le cours de dix jours inculque les aptitudes nécessaires pour mener une cyberenquête approfondie. On y aborde les cas où la technologie est ciblée, comme l'utilisation non autorisée d'un ordinateur, les méfaits à l'égard de données informatiques et le piratage.

Record 3 2014-01-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Braking Devices (Mechanical Components)
CONT

Disc brakes stay much cleaner than drum brakes. A disc brake is partly shrouded by the wheel, but it is largely exposed to circulating air. Dust and dirt created by pad wear and accumulated through normal driving are thrown off by the centrifugal force of the spinning rotor. Some brake dust accumulates inside the wheel and partially on the caliper. Proper and safe cleaning of brake assemblies and components is as important for disc brakes as for drum brakes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
  • Freins (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Lors des nettoyages normaux de votre voiture, les roues sont uniquement nettoyées de l’extérieur et d’éventuelles usures de la jante ou du pneu sont omises. De plus, la poussière de freinage, qui est nocive pour l’aluminium, doit également être enlevée régulièrement.

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

A cylinder-like electrode made of glassy carbon.

OBS

The glassy carbon electrode, usually a cylinder-like form whose walls are shrouded by an insulator, one end of the cylinder placed in a solution, the other end being in contact with a metallic conductor, is used as an indicator or working electrode.

Airbus Industrie currently favours the shrouded fan as this would eliminate such problems as blade containment and excessive noise.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
CONT

Le consortium européen penche actuellement pour la formule de la soufflante carénée qui (...) a l'avantage d'éliminer certains problèmes comme celui de la rétention des pales et celui du bruit.

Record 8 1986-05-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Rotary Machines
  • Energy (Physics)
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

The momentum exchange device determines the energy input of a WECS. The amount of energy exchanged is limited by the area intercepted by the device and by its efficiency. Efforts to enhance the efficiency of energy collection generally involve some acceleration of the airflow through the rotor. Examples of innovative concepts include the shrouded generators : the diffuser and confined and unconfined vortices.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines tournantes électriques
  • Énergie (Physique)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
CONT

Le capteur d'énergie. Le capteur détermine l'énergie absorbée par l'aérogénérateur. La quantité d'énergie échangée est déterminée par la surface balayée par le rotor et par son rendement. Les efforts pour améliorer la récupération de l'énergie impliquent généralement une accélération de l'écoulement de l'air à travers le rotor. Parmi les conceptions originales, on trouve les générateurs carénés : diffuseurs (Venturi), tourbillons confinés ou non.
