Line scan cameras are not smaller than area scan cameras. They are often deployed on machine vision systems with tight space constraints, however. Line scan systems are frequently used to inspect cylindrical objects, to meet high-resolution and/or high-speed inspection requirements, and to inspect objects in continuous motion. 3, record 1, English, - continuous%20motion

Para efectos del prototipo que aquí se propone, el funcionamiento es intermitente, ya que en el instante de la captura de la imagen la cremallera está detenida. La justificación de ello es que en el algoritmo de inspección podamos evitar usar imágenes borrosas o un procesamiento extra debido al movimiento de la cremallera. Tal condición no exenta que en desarrollos futuros pueda trabajarse con un movimiento continuo, puesto que el prototipo está diseñado para soportar tal funcionamiento. 1, record 1, Spanish, - movimiento%20continuo

Vestibulodynia is chronic pain and discomfort that occurs in the area around the opening of the vagina, inside the inner lips of the vulva. This area is known as the vestibule. The pain may occur when the area is touched, when a tampon is used, during sex, during a pelvic exam, when tight clothes are worn, or even when sitting for a long time. In some cases the area may also be red and inflamed. 4, record 2, English, - vulvar%20vestibulodynia
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[The] term [vestibulitis] is out of date now. It is slightly misleading as it implies that the vestibule is inflamed – hence the term vestibulitis. It is not believed that an inflammatory process in the skin is to blame for symptoms. An excessive sensitivity of the nerve fibres and even, on occasions, overgrowth of the nerve fibres in the area is believed to be responsible for symptoms. 3, record 2, English, - vulvar%20vestibulodynia

La vestibulodynie se caractérise par des douleurs occasionnées au toucher du vestibule. Ces douleurs s’apparentent souvent à une sensation de brûlure, voire de déchirure au moment où il y a une pression (pénétration vaginale, insertion d’un tampon, examen gynécologique, promenade en vélo, etc.) sur la vulve et l’entrée du vagin. 3, record 2, French, - vestibulodynie%20vulvaire
