Because the O₂ sensor must be pre-heated to function, many newer units contain a little 12 volt heater that brings it up to temperature sooner, offering better fuel economy and driveability earlier. These sensors can be identified by the number of wires coming out of the unit. Just one wire means you don’t have a heater. Those that have three wires use one for the signal, and two for the heater circuit. Those that have four wires use one for the signal, one for the signal' s ground, and two for the heater. In this case usually the signal wire is shielded against interference, much like common television coaxial cable.  4, record 11, English, - heated%20exhaust%20gas%20oxygen%20sensor

Most engines with a turbo use sensors with heaters because the turbo steals so much of the superheat energy as it uses it to pump additional air in the intake.

Pour compléter la sonde, on peut ajouter un élément chauffant central en céramique PTC de manière à assurer une mise à température de fonctionnement plus rapide (20 à 30 secondes). Sur une sonde non chauffée, ce temps est quasiment le triple car on compte uniquement sur la température des gaz d'échappement pour porter la sonde à la température correcte. Dans ce cas, la position de la sonde sur la ligne d'échappement est encore plus délicate à déterminer. [...] La différence entre une sonde chauffée et une non chauffée se situe bien entendu dans la rapidité de mise en activité mais aussi dans la durée de vie. Ainsi les fabricants estiment la durée de vie à 80000 km pour une sonde non chauffée et à 160 000 km pour une sonde chauffée. Par ailleurs, la conception actuelle des moteurs donnant en finale de faibles débits de gaz au ralenti avec des températures basses, l'utilisation de sondes chauffées est préférable.  3, record 11, French, - sonde%20d%27oxyg%C3%A8ne%20chauffante

In practice, it is sensible to work with a spectrometer resolution which is high enough to avoid markedly non-linear calibration curves. This, of course, will increase the required spectrometer scan time, for a given signal/noise ratio in the spectrum, and a compromise may be necessary. The problem will not arise to a marked degree in the case of measurements on liquid samples, although peaks from some types of vibrational modes, e. g. the out of plane deformation modes of the hydrogen atoms attached to aromatic rings, give sharp and analytically useful peaks which are narrow enough to give these non-linear calibration curves.  1, record 16, English, - non%2Dlinear%20calibration%20curve

In the case of the high-speed colony picker, the machinery consists of two tables capable of computer-controlled movement positioned underneath a pair of plungers with a rotating carousel wheel in between that is fitted with 24 reusable needles. To operate the system, a Petri dish containing colonies of yeast or bacteria is placed on one table, and a 96-well microtiter plate is placed on the other. Guided by a digital image that shows the location of colonies in the dish, the first table moves a colony directly underneath a plunger which at the same time is being armed with a needle from the carousel. On a signal from a computer, the plunger dips the needle into the colony and immediately retracts it with "picked" cells. The carousel then rotates the needle over to the second plunger and the table bearing the microtiter plate moves until the correct well is directly underneath it. The computer activates the second plunger, dipping the needle into the growth medium where some of the cells will be deposited. After retraction from the growth medium, the needle is rotated by the carousel through a tank filled with sterilizing liquid and made ready for reuse.  2, record 20, English, - colony%20picker

Standard Branching. Truly general-purpose industrial robot systems must have some way of selecting or altering the programmed path and function based on changes in the environment around them. The name given to such a facility may vary, but the purpose is the same. The robot reaches some point and interrogates an input signal to determine whether it is electrically active, or the robot is interrupted by activation of another input signal. In either case, the robot path "branches" to a section of the path/function program; if no signal is present at this decision point, or no interrupt occurs, the robot continues in a normal path sequence.  1, record 21, English, - standard%20branching
