A serial robot is an open kinematic chain made up of rigid bodies, called links, connected by kinematic pairs, called joints, that provide relative motion between consecutive links. The point at the end of the last link is known as the end-effector. Only two types of joints are considered throughout this work : revolute(prismatic) joints, that perform a rotational(translational) motion around(along) a given axis. 1, record 1, English, - serial%20robot

The pitch axis is perpendicular to the aircraft centerline and lies in the plane of the wings. A pitch motion is an up or down movement of the nose of the aircraft... The pitching motion is being caused by the deflection of the elevator of this aircraft. The elevator is a hinged section at the rear of the horizontal stabilizer. There is usually an elevator on each side of the vertical stabilizer.

La centrale d'attitude et de cap peut être à cardans ou à composants liés [...] et utiliser des gyroscopes mécaniques ou des gyrolasers.

La gouverne de profondeur est un volet mobile situé sur l'arrière de l'empennage horizontal, qui lui-même est placé vers la queue de l'appareil. En modifiant l'angle de la gouverne de profondeur, le pilote modifie la force agissant sur l'empennage horizontal et, grâce à un bras de levier important, cette variation de force fait piquer ou cabrer l'avion autour de l'axe de tangage, axe horizontal passant par le centre de gravité de l'avion.

A tall iron cylinder lined with firebrick and packed inside with chequer brickwork. The hot gas from the blast furnace, which contains about 28% combustible constituents, together with sufficient air to burn it, passes through the stove until the brickwork is heated to redness. The gas and air are then diverted to a second stove, where the same thing is allowed to occur. Meanwhile the air-blast to the tuyères is passed through the hot brickwork of the firststove, until the brickwork has cooled. The air-blast is thus pre-heated to a temperature of from 700 °C to 800 °C. Cowper stoves work in pairs and are alternatively used to absorb and to emit heat. 3, record 10, English, - Cowper%20stove
