CONT

The Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator(SPDM) is an essential tool for maintaining and servicing the Space station. With its dual-arm design providing added flexibility, the SPDM will remove and replace smaller components; on the Station exterior, where precise handling : is required. It will be equipped with lights, video equipment, a tool platform and four tool holder. The SPDM can perform dexterous tasks by sensing various forces and moments on the payload. In response, it can automatically compensate its movements to ensure the payload is manipulated smoothly. With its two arms, the SPDM will load and unload objects, use robotic tools, attach and detach covers and install various units of the Space Station. It will either be attached to the end of Canadarm2 or ride independently on the Mobile Base System [MBS] and have Canadarm2 deliver equipment to it for servicing. It also has four cameras that will provide the crew inside the Station with additional views of the work areas. Like Canadarm2 and the MBS, the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator will be controlled by the crew inside the International Space Station. This system will allow the crew to perform many of the tasks that would otherwise require an astronaut to perform during a demanding spacewalk.

OBS

special purpose dexterous manipulator; SPDM: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

Le manipulateur agile spécialisé (SPDM) est un outil essentiel à l'entretien de la Station spatiale. Grâce à ses deux bras, qui lui donnent une souplesse accrue, le SPDM pourra enlever et remplacer de petites composantes à l'extérieur de la Station, là ou une manipulation de précision est requise. II sera équipé de projecteurs, de matériel vidéo, d'une plate-forme d'outils et de quatre porte-outils. Le SPDM peut effectuer des tâches délicates en captant des forces et des moments sur la charge utile. En réponse, il peut automatiquement compenser ses mouvements pour assurer une manipulation en douceur de la charge utile. Grâce à ses deux bras, le SPDM chargera et déchargera des objets, utilisera des outils robotiques, fixera et enlèvera des couvercles et installera divers éléments de la Station spatiale. II sera fixé à l'extrémité du Canadarm2 ou fonctionnera indépendamment sur la Base mobile tandis que le Canadarm2 lui fournira l'équipement d'entretien. II est aussi équipé de quatre caméras qui donneront aux astronautes à l'intérieur de la Station des points d'observation supplémentaires des secteurs de travail. À l'instar du Canadarm2 et du MBS, le Manipulateur agile spécialisé sera commandé par l'équipage se trouvant à l'intérieur de la Station spatiale internationale. Le système permettra ainsi à l'équipage d'accomplir bon nombre des tâches qui autrement nécessiteraient une éprouvante sortie extravéhiculaire de la part d'un astronaute.

OBS

[In one study] the parent holding the baby apparently could see the stimuli and, therefore, potentially influence the baby's behaviour... It is essential in work of this type that both the holder and observer be "blind". Moreover, in the completed work, the test phase was designed so that recovery to novelty could not be distinguished from regression to the mean... Babies in the seven groups that the applicants propose to compare are likely to be at different phases of habituation after 12 trials. As a consequence, it would be difficult to interpret any differences in their reaction to the novel stimulus presented... Such differences could be due to differential reinforcing effectiveness of the stimulus....

CONT

The relationship between encoding, discriminative capacities and perinatal risk status in 4 - 12-month old infants : response decrement and recovery to a novel visual stimulus was examined in [these infants]. High (HR) and low (LR) perinatal risk groups were compared to well babies. For abstract stimuli, well babies showed response decrement and recovery to novelty; LR infants revealed some decrement, but no recovery ... Using face stimuli, all groups showed decrement and recovery [Source: PASCAL database].

  • Flights (Air Transport)
CONT

Sometime at the beginning of May, you will see... in Dorval and Toronto airports... a new ticketing machine. Four units will be installed on a trial basis... The Agent Supported Ticketing Air Canada(ASTAC) system allows passengers, who are enRoute credit card holders, to make or change reservations and obtain tickets in a one-stop contract with Air Canada. To work the ASTAC system, the enRoute credit card holder inserts the card into the credit card reader. The card is validated and telephone contact is established between the passenger and an agent in the local reservations office. Now the transaction is carried out. The completed tickets are printed and the passenger's account is billed. Then, the ticket hopper door is unlocked and passengers are able to obtain their tickets.

Sur appel téléphonique du Bureau de vente qui donne des éléments d'établissement du billet (nom du passager, itinéraire, date de départ, no de vol, etc.), la Compagnie prend les réservations nécessaires, calcule le tarif et retranscrit tous les éléments sur une "Transmission Worksheet" dont les différentes cases sont codifiées en sorte que le billet recopié sur téléscripteur sort du récepteur entièrement rédigé.
