L'objectif d'un loch électromagnétique est de calculer et d'afficher la vitesse et la distance parcourue sur l'eau par un bateau afin que l'équipage puisse obtenir des informations fiables et en temps réel pour ajuster sa navigation. Le système est nécessaire au fonctionnement du navire et apporte des informations clés au système de navigation. 2, record 1, French, - loch%20%C3%A9lectromagn%C3%A9tique

The longitudinal and the lateral speed of the ship may be measured by means of a sonar doppler log which operates on the principle that a sonar signal transmitted from a moving object and reflected back from a stationary surface will indicate a shift in frequency; this shift in frequency is proportional to the speed relative to the stationary surface of the moving object, which in this case will be the ship. 2, record 2, English, - lateral%20speed

... monochromatic UV photometer available from Du Pont; similar designs are widely used in modern LC. UV radiation at 254 nm from a low-pressure mercury lamp shines on the entrance of a flow cell and is transmitted through this sample cell and strikes the analytical prototube. Radiation from the source also is directed through a neutral-density filter, and then to the reference photocell. Current from these photocells is fed to log amplifiers, which generate an output linear with solute concentration. The output signal to the recorder normally is attenuated with a simple bridge network. 1, record 4, English, - monochromatic%20UV%20photometer
