Wide-flange beams and columns were developed soon after World War I in Luxembourg. These have wider and thicker flanges than normal sections and the flanges are of uniform thickness, making the connections, splices, fixings, and joints much simpler and cleaner. In the U. S., which pioneered their use on a large scale, these larger and heavier sections were rolled with varying widths of flange for the same depth of beams, simplifying the range of connection details needed in complex structures. 2, record 2, English, - wide%2Dflanged%20steel%20column

Multibeam bathymetry(also known as swath bathymetry). Consists of measurements and maps of seafloor depth. Measurements are made with an array of many(~100) narrow acoustic beams projected from transducers mounted on the hull of a surface ship or of a deeptowed or remotely operated vehicle(ROV) near the seafloor. Typically these systems provide(from surface ships) swathes of bathymetry several kilometres wide with horizontal resolution of ~200 m or better. 2, record 3, English, - swath%20bathymetry
