Subject field(s)
  • Law of Contracts (common law)

CONT

This click-wrap licence Agreement is a user licence(for either a single or a corporate licensee) for software either downloaded from a [website] or loaded from disk, where the licence terms are accepted on screen by following a "click to accept" procedure. The terms of the Click-Wrap Licence must be brought to the attention of the user who should acknowledge acceptance by clicking on the appropriate button(s) following the licence agreement before installing the software.

CONT

The Agreement can be used as a click-wrap license displayed on screen and accepted during product installation. It can also be used as a Shrink-Wrap License in product packaging.

CONT

It should be noted however that even though courts have ruled some clickwrap licenses to be enforceable contracts, it does not follow that every term of every clickwrap license is enforceable. Clickwrap licenses must still meet the criteria for enforceability of a unilateral form contract.

Record 3 2008-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

The fire extinguishing equipment for an airliner such as the Douglas DC-10 incorporates three systems with six pressurized agent containers, two for each engine. The containers for the wing-mounted engines are located in pairs in the leading edge of the wing between the nacelle and the fuselage on each side of the aircraft.... The discharge cartridge is an electrically fired explosive unit that provides force to rupture the disk seal in the outlet port of the container and release the extinguishing agent to the deployment lines. One discharge cartridge is installed on each wing-mounted container and two are installed on the aft-engine container. The discharge cartridge contains two squibs(explosive charges) that are fired by an electric circuit that heats the powder to the ignition point. When the fire extinguisher control handle is pulled down, the electric circuit is closed and the squibs are fired. The force of the explosion ruptures the disk seal, thus releasing the extinguishing agent. A screen in the discharge head prevents particles of the disk from entering the deployment line.

OBS

This system is specific to the McDonnell Douglas Corporation aircraft (DC-9, DC-10).

OBS

CONT

Disk and screen filters are generally used in drip irrigation systems as a final stage of filtration before water enters the distribution system. The primary filtration process used depends on the type of contaminant. If the contaminant is organic matter, the preferred technology is the use of high rate sand media tanks.

CONT

The standard graphic file format for Windows. The BMP format is not compressed so images take up a lot of disk space. A ’bitmap’ file is a file that is stored as a description of each pixel(a sequence of coloured dots). Typically each dot on the screen will be represented by a number which will determine the colour of the dot.

Le format BMP sauvegarde les images selon un modèle BIT. Windows est le domaine principal d'application de ce format. De très nombreux formats Bitmap ont été développés. Le format DIB est quasiment identique au format BMP standard. Le format RDIB est utilisé par l'extension multimédia de Windows.

CONT

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 signal, you must have a video frame grabber. These are lowest on the rungs of the video ladder, in that they have less capability than boards that capture streaming video. These cards enable you to grab a single frame of video from a Laser Disk or a VCR. Video frame grabbers come in two varieties : single-frame capture and real-time capture. Single-frame capture boards enable you to freeze a selected frame and record it to your hard disk. In this function, single-frame boards are similar to scanners-they provide a means of capturing an image and saving it for use in a multimedia title.... Real-time frame grabbers capture full-motion video at a rate between 15 and 30 frames-per-second using video compression....

Intelligence can be added to the disk controller to determine if a graphic element meets certain display characteristics, such as being a specifically searched-for element or being within the range of the display screen or being nonintelligence information. This hardware is called a disk scanner. Disk scanners are much more than simple add-on items. A disk controller must be completely redesigned to incorporate one, and very high-performance logic... is required to handle the data in real time.
