When deciding the length to be provided, consideration should be given to providing an area long enough to contain overruns and undershoots resulting from a reasonably probable continuation of adverse operational factors on a precision approach runway, the ILS localizer is normally the first upstanding obstacle and the runway end safety area should extend up to this facility. 3, record 1, English, - ILS%20localizer

When the track bar is used in conjunction with a VOR [VHF omnidirectional radio range], a lean out of 10° to one or the other side from the signal causes a full deflection of the indicator. If the same pointer is used as an indicator of the ILS localizer, a full deflection will be induced by a 2, 5° diversion from the center of the localizer's beam. 4, record 1, English, - ILS%20localizer

(Dans ce cas-ci, le quart pourrait crier «10-12-hut 3-hut, hut 2-6-8-hut 6-hut 4» avant que le centre ne bouge). Si, en prenant position devant la ligne défensive, le quart voit que ses joueurs ne peuvent réussir le jeu entendu, il crie un autre numéro de jeu et un autre numéro de joueur puis, une série de chiffres après le hut où le numéro convenu survient rapidement pour prendre par surprise la défensive de l'équipe adverse; ex : «23-99-hut 6, 4».

As an integral part of worldwide search and rescue, NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] operates the Search & Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking(SARSAT) System to locate those in distress almost anywhere in the world at anytime and in most conditions. The SARSAT system uses NOAA satellites in low-earth and geostationary orbits to detect and locate aviators, mariners, and land-based users in distress. The satellites relay distress signals from emergency beacons to a network of ground stations and ultimately to the U. S. Mission Control Center(USMCC) in Suitland, Maryland. The USMCC processes the distress signal and alerts the appropriate search and rescue authorities to who is in distress and, more importantly, where they are located. 4, record 7, English, - search%20and%20rescue%20satellite%20aided%20tracking%20system

L'acronyme SARSAT désigne le Programme du système de poursuite par satellite SAR. Il s'agit d'un réseau de satellites exploités par les gouvernements canadien, russe, français et américain. Ces satellites captent les appels émis au moyen de radiobalises de détresse [...] et les relaient vers les centres de contrôle de mission (CCM) à terre. Ces centres relaient l'information au Centre de coordination des efforts de sauvetage (RCC) le plus proche, qui dépêche alors une unité de sauveteurs.

The microwave beam from the satellite solar power station(SSPS) is triggered by a pilot signal beamed from the center of the receiving antenna to provide the necessary phase control to produce a coherent beam. Otherwise, if the beam were to drift, its coherence would be lost, the energy dissipated, and the resulting power density would approximate normal communication signal levels on Earth. 2, record 13, English, - satellite%20solar%20power%20station

The scanner operates continuously, with its drive phase locked to the data system's master clock. An encoder signals the start of each scan. Aircraft roll compensation is accomplished by matching this start signal to the output of the roll gyro and delaying the start of data collection on the scan line enough to put the center pixel in the nadir position. 2, record 14, English, - roll%20gyroscope

Background: Spacecraft Control. The incident was preceded by a routine calibration of the spacecraft’s three roll gyroscopes (gyros). The three gyros, all aligned with the spacecraft roll axis, which is normally pointed toward the sun, measure incremental changes in roll attitude (orientation about the axis in space where the spacecraft rolls). 3, record 14, English, - roll%20gyroscope

Most inertial platforms are mechanized... in a "local vertical" mode, which means that the perpendicular to the stable element(inner gimbal) always points toward the center of the Earth. To accomplish this, the integrated outputs of the north and east accelerometers(vehicle velocity) are divided by the radius of the Earth and used as an additional signal to drive the gimbal torquers. This is known as a Schuler loop. 3, record 16, English, - Schuler%20loop

The video-on-demand model takes advantage of some form of two-way communication between the home and the video source, which could be a low-bandwidth back channel on a CATV path or a phone line with sufficient bandwidth to carry a compressed video signal. The home may be furnished with a low-cost box, which accepts signals from a hand-held control and which transmits the appropriate status to the video control center. The viewer uses the hand-held control to navigate a selection menu and choose a program. Shortly after the selection is made, the program begins playing. During the course of the movie the viewer is able to pause, reposition, and use other VCR-like controls. 2, record 17, English, - video%2Don%2Ddemand%20channel
