Lente, término ambiguo no diferenciado, es decir que el significado conceptual se mantiene no importando el género que se use. De acuerdo a la Real Academia Española: “Es válido su uso en ambos géneros en cualquiera de sus acepciones, aunque las preferencias son distintas según las zonas; así, cuando significa "pieza transparente que se emplea en instrumentos ópticos", en España se usa en femenino, mientras que en América alternan ambos géneros, con cierta preferencia por el masculino […]” 2, record 10, Spanish, - lente%20asf%C3%A9rica

Record number: 12, Textual support number: 1 OBS
For visualization purposes, the station's direction of motion is called the velocity vector, or V-bar for short. By convention, points in front of the station are said to be on the positive V-bar while points behind are considered negative. The imaginary line connecting the station with the center of the Earth is called the radius vector, or R-bar. Points directly below the station along this line are considered positive while points above are considered negative. Endeavour, then, will approach the station along the plus R-bar. The station will be oriented with its long axis aligned with the velocity vector, with the Unity module in "front" and Zvezda behind. Unity's nadir and zenith ports will be oriented as their names imply. This orientation, or attitude, is known as "XVV, "i. e., the station's X axis is aligned with the velocity vector. The terminal rendezvous sequence will begin with a rocket firing(TI) as Endeavour trails the station by about eight nautical miles. Once the shuttle reaches the plus R-bar, commander Brent Jett will guide the ship up from directly below. As he nears the station, he will yaw the shuttle 180 degrees so its tail is pointing in the direction of motion and its nose toward the minus V-bar. Assuming a good linkup, the shuttle will begin controlling the station's orientation for the duration of Endeavour's mission, moving the lab back into an "X-POP" attitude with the station's X axis perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. In this orientation, the long axis of the station is broadside to the velocity vector. 4, record 12, English, - R%2Dbar%20approach

Bench Method. Whichever hauling equipment or technique you choose, you must get as close as possible to the trunks to be loaded or bring them as close as possible to the trail to facilitate loading. The bench method can enable you, with reasonable effort, to bring the felled trees manually to within a 10-metre radius of the track. This method consists in creating a workbench from the felled trees themselves. It enables you to work with your back straight and to move the trunks without unreasonable effort. The first tree is felled and prepared so as to act as a support for other trees that will be felled on top of it. It must be quite steady, since the impact and weight of felled trees can crush the support and make it less useful. 1, record 16, English, - bench%20method

La méthode de l'établi. Peu importe l'équipement ou la technique de débardage que vous choisissez, vous devez vous rendre le plus près possible des troncs à charger ou les approcher le plus près du sentier pour en faciliter le chargement. La méthode de l'établi peut vous permettre, avec un effort raisonnable, de rapprocher manuellement les troncs abattus dans un rayon de 10 mètres du chemin. Cette méthode consiste à créer un établi de travail à même les arbres abattus. Elle vous permet de travailler le dos droit et de déplacer des troncs sans efforts déraisonnables. Le premier arbre est abattu et préparé de façon à servir de support pour d'autres arbres qui viendront s'abattre dessus. Il doit être assez solide, car l'impact et le poids des arbres abattus peuvent écraser le support et en diminuer l'utilité. 1, record 16, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20l%27%C3%A9tabli
