A cable network architecture wherein optical fibres radiate outwards from the head end or a point on a fibre-ring(a "node") to local networks serving a neighbourhood or subdivision. This is similar to the "switched-star" architecture of telephone systems-however, in the telephone case, each wire(twisted pair) serves an individual subscriber.  1, record 1, English, - star%20architecture

Architecture d'un réseau de câble où les fibres optiques irradient extérieurement de la tête de ligne ou d'un point situé sur un anneau de fibre optique («un nœud») à des réseaux locaux desservant un quartier ou une subdivision. Semblable à l'architecture du téléphone («switched star») - cependant, dans le cas du téléphone, chaque fil («twisted pair») dessert un seul abonné.  1, record 1, French, - architecture%20en%20%C3%A9toile

Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer, PSP. This instrument is considered to be the most accurate radiometer produced commercially for the measurement of global sun and sky radiation, totally or in defined wavelength bands. It can be inverted to measure reflected shortwave radiation(from which the albedo can be calculated). The PSP has a circular multi-junction thermopile of the plated(copper-constantan) wire wound type which is temperature compensated in order to get a response that is independent of ambient temperature. The temperature sensed by the detector is nearly linear with the flux density of incident radiation. The instrument is supplied with a pair of removable precision ground and polished concentric hemispheres of Schott optical glass. The inner hemisphere is transparent to a wavelength of 0. 285-2. 800 µm. The outer dome can be replaced by Schott glass hemispherical filters which transmit within specified bandwidths. Desiccant is placed in the side of the instrument to absorb humidity inside the glass domes. Measurements are reported in Wm^-2.  1, record 2, English, - Eppley%20precision%20spectral%20pyranometer

The Eppley PSP (or simply Eppley Pyranometer) is an instrument for the measurement of radiation in the range approximately between 285 and 2800 nm. As noted earlier, this wavelength range is commonly referred to as shortwave radiation, and it’s primary source is the sun.  3, record 2, English, - Eppley%20precision%20spectral%20pyranometer

To do a power-balance test, you’ll need a pair of spark plug cable pliers(...) The procedure goes like this : run the engine at curb-idle speed. With the special pliers, briefly remove each plug wire from the spark plug. Note the rpm drop, then reattach the wire. Hold the wire away from the plug for a second or two to see the rpm drop.  2, record 7, English, - power%2Dbalance%20test
