The left rudder would operate normally since the RH [right-hand] nosewheel steering tube assembly could still operate in the compression mode. Furthermore, in this condition, the automatic centring action of the nose gear as the aircraft lifted off would have resulted in the application of two to four degrees of left rudder deflection. This is due to the left-hand rudder centring spring taking up the slack introduced in the right-hand rudder cable by the right-hand rudder pedal being moved aft of its normal position due to the shortened length of the RH nosewheel steering tube assembly. 2, record 2, English, - centering%20spring

La commande de direction vers la gauche aurait fonctionné normalement puisque l'ensemble de droite des tubes d'orientation du train avant pouvait toujours fonctionner en mode de compression. Qui plus est, dans une telle situation, le centrage automatique du train avant au moment du décollage aurait provoqué l'apparition d'un braquage de la direction de deux à quatre degrés vers la gauche. Ce phénomène est dû au fait que le ressort de centrage gauche de la direction a compensé pour le mou apparu dans le câble droit de la direction à la suite du déplacement de la pédale droite du palonnier en arrière de sa position normale à cause de la longueur moindre de l'ensemble de droite des tubes d'orientation du train avant. 2, record 2, French, - ressort%20de%20centrage

Video compression is measured by four basic criteria :compression ratio, picture quality, compression and decompression speeds, and the hardware and software resources required to achieve it. Use of compression with motion video is mandatory, but it also benefits still images, particularly in multimedia applications where the end-user should not be left waiting for things to happen on the screen. Processing of a single image in one second or less is generally acceptable for a still picture, but motion video requires at least 15 fps to produce the effect of smooth movement. 6, record 3, English, - still%20frame

Although real motion video is the holy grail of multimedia, it still is impractical using today's technology. The current method for working with video is by capturing and converting the analog signal from a video source and either manipulating the image's data(which is written to video tape) or compressing the data using compression techniques(either software-only compression or a combination of hardware and software compression). To display or capture a single screen of an NTSC [National Television System Committee] signal, you must have a video frame grabber.... Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression... 4, record 4, English, - full%2Dmotion%20video

Le CD-I fait appel à des techniques très sophistiquées de compression d'images pour pouvoir stocker des images animées, très consommatrices d'espace. L'algorithme de compression est baptisé «Full Motion Video» (FMV). C'est la mise au point de cet algorithme qui a permis au CD-I de pouvoir afficher jusqu'à 72 minutes d'images animées plein écran. La qualité de l'image ainsi traitée est équivalente à celle d'un magnétoscope VHS mais inférieure à celle d'un LaserDisc. 4, record 4, French, - vid%C3%A9o%20plein%20%C3%A9cran

These compressors allow you to reduce your QuickTime clips’ file size, which can get enormous(the average uncompressed file size of our 30-second test clip was 16 megabytes).
