CVGs [Coriolis vibrating gyroscope] have three features in common : a mechanical resonator, an oscillator and a force-displacement sensor. One mode of the resonator is maintained in resonance by an oscillator loop while oscillations are induced in a second vibration mode. The amplitude of the oscillations gives a signal proportional to the input angular rate. A wide variety of resonators, actuation and sensing schemes are possible. The simplest resonator is a tuning fork. 2, record 7, English, - mechanical%20resonator

There are two classifications of induction furnaces : coreless and channel. In a coreless furnace, the refractory-lined crucible is completely surrounded by a water-cooled copper coil, while in the channel furnace the coil surrounds only a small appendage of the unit, called an inductor. The term "channel" refers to the channel that the molten metal forms as a loop within the inductor. It is the metal loop that forms the secondary of the electrical circuit, with the surrounding copper coil being the primary. In a coreless furnace, the entire metal content of the crucible is the secondary. 2, record 9, English, - induction%20furnace

(...) the process of "torsion" involves a rotation of the mantle [of a young prosobranch gastropod], and [the] juvenile shell, with its enclosed viscera, through an angle of 180 degrees in relation to the velum(from which the head later develops) and the foot. As a result the mantle cavity comes to occupy an anterodorsal position, while the coiling of the shell assumes the endogastric direction typical of the adult gastropod. Effects of this torsion on the cells from which various organs of the adult animal later arise are far-reaching. Thus, when they develop, the nerve cords connecting the cerebral and pleural to the visceral ganglia are found to be crossed(...) rather like a figure 8, instead of being parallel. The gut has been twisted into a loop. It is, moreover obvious that the positions of the left and right ctenidia, osphradia, hypobranchial glands, heart auricles, and kidneys of the ancestral untorqued form become transposed as the result of torsion, so that when, as in most prosobranchs, only one of each of these organs remains, this, although now on the 6ft-hand side, represents the original right-hand organ. 1, record 10, English, - torsion

Cette torsion non seulement affecte le sac viscéral et la coquille qui moule le manteau en leur imprimant une forme hélicoïdale, mais entraîne aussi le "chiasma" du système nerveux dont les ganglions, initialement placés à droite, vont prendre une position topographique gauche et "vice versa". Et surtout, la principale conséquence de la torsion hélicoïdale est d'avoir transformé les Gastéropodes en animaux dissymétriques: l'étude des parties molles prouve que les organes pairs du côté droit (côté gauche originel) sont plus petits que ceux du côté gauche, et peuvent même s'atrophier et disparaître. 2, record 10, French, - torsion

Notice in the drawing routines, especially the arc routines, that familiarity with how the arc routine works is important. In the first arc statement, the command arc is executed and the first point is entered. The center option is chosen before the second point is entered. At this point, you should be able to decipher what is happening in the first nine statements of this function. Next, the arc number value is initialized and set. This value counts how many times you run through this routine. Each time you run through the routine, you create one first arc. The next statement calculates the arc length by calculating the distance between the start and end points of the first arc. Now that you have the arc number and the length of the arcs, you can calculate the overall length of the insulation. Notice the last statement of the routine. That is precisely what happens. In the while loop, the variable total is compared to the wall length. If the total variable is less than the wall length variable, the routine will be run again. Otherwise, the routine is ended. 2, record 11, English, - arc%20routine

for simulations and explanations, the bridge between global concepts and local component descriptions is provided by a topological search process through which components can determine their states(e. g., they can find out whether there is a conductive path between a port and a voltage source). This process is similar to envisioning in that it is triggered by components and roots simulation and causality in local information about component states. The difference is that the search is driven by domain-specific concepts like "conductive loop", which describe phenomena emerging from component interactions and influencing their states, and are thus reminiscent of processes à la QP theory. This combination allows explanations to articulate domaine principles beyond the functioning of a given device while still elucidating specific behaviors. 1, record 14, English, - topological%20search

The ridge count from each finger is obtained by counting the number of ridges traversing a straight line running from the triradius to the centre of the pattern. The sum of the counts from the 10 fingers makes up the total ridge count. Since an arch has no triradius, its ridge count will be zero; while a whorl, with two triradii will normally have a higher ridge count than a loop. 1, record 17, English, - total%20ridge%20count

Le compte des crêtes de chaque doigt se fait en calculant le nombre de crêtes situées, en ligne droite, entre le triradius et le centre de la figure. La somme des crêtes ainsi calculées sur les 10 doigts constitue le compte total des crêtes. Étant donné qu'une arche n'a pas de triradius, le compte des crêtes est nul; par contre, comme un tourbillon a deux triradii, son nombre de crêtes sera normalement plus élevé que celui d'une boucle. 1, record 17, French, - compte%20total%20des%20cr%C3%AAtes

Le «compte total des crêtes» est obtenu de la façon suivante. On additionne les chiffres obtenus pour chacun des 10 doigts en comptant les stries qui séparent le tri-radius du centre de la figure. L'arche ne comportant pas de tri-radius est comparée zéro. Le tourbillon comportant deux tri-radius est caractérisé par deux nombres: seul le plus élevé est utilisé dans le calcul. 1, record 17, French, - compte%20total%20des%20cr%C3%AAtes
