Linear threshold units (LTUs) were originally proposed as models of biological neurons. They were widely studied in the context of the perceptron ... Due to the difficulties of finding a general algorithm for networks with hidden nodes, they never passed into general use. 3, record 1, English, - linear%20threshold%20unit

Regarding the advantage of depth, early theoretical results have focused on circuit operations(neural net unit computations) that are substantially different from those being used in real state-of-the-art deep learning applications, such as logic gates... and linear threshold units with non-negative weights... 4, record 1, English, - linear%20threshold%20unit

Le perceptron est l'une des architectures des réseaux de neurones les plus simples[. Son architecture] est formée de deux couches : une couche d'entrée et une couche de sortie. La couche d'entrée représente les neurones d'entrée qui permettent de sortir les mêmes entrées fournies. La couche de sortie représente un type de neurone artificiel différent des autres, appelé «unité linéaire à seuil (ULS)» [...] Chaque neurone ULS est connecté à toutes les neurones d'entrées et aussi à un neurone particulier appelé «neurone de biais» dont la sortie est toujours égale à 1 (neurone de terme constant). 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9%20lin%C3%A9aire%20%C3%A0%20seuil

The skin dose (surface dose) is the radiation delivered at the skin. It is the sum of the dose from the incident radiation plus the dose from the backscatter radiation. 2, record 2, English, - skin%20dose

Skin dose. The limit for skin is set by reference to deterministic(formerly known as non-stochastic) effects. These are effects such as reddening or ulceration of the skin which vary in intensity in proportion to the dose, and also have a threshold dose below which no effects appear. The proposed limit, which is below the threshold, is 500 mSv in any dosimetry year, averaged over any 1 cm² area at a nominal depth of 7 mg cm², regardless of the area exposed. 3, record 2, English, - skin%20dose

La limite de la dose à la peau est fixée par référence aux effets déterministes (anciennement non stochastiques). Ce sont des effets comme le rougissement ou l'ulcération de la peau dont l'intensité est proportionnelle à la dose et pour lesquels il existe un seuil de dose sous lequel aucun effet se manifeste. La limite proposée, soit 500 mSv par année de dosimétrie, est inférieure à ce seuil et est établie selon une moyenne calculée sur une superficie de 1 cm² à une profondeur nominale de 7 mg cm², peu importe la superficie exposée. 2, record 2, French, - dose%20%C3%A0%20la%20peau
