Un tachéomètre électronique est l’équivalent d’un théodolite où les mesures sont effectuées électroniquement, affichées sur un écran à cristaux liquides et sauvegardées dans une mémoire interne. Le tachéomètre mesure l’angle horizontal de la lunette sur le plateau par rapport à une ligne de référence et l’angle vertical de la lunette par rapport au plan horizontal. Il mesure aussi, et c’est sa principale qualité, la distance entre un prisme de réflexion et l’axe verticale de la lunette au moyen d’un rayon laser en mesurant le temps de parcours du rayon. En utilisant la trigonométrie, le tachéomètre peut convertir ces données en coordonnées cartésiennes (X, Y, Z) ou en coordonnées cylindriques (angle, distance, élévation). 4, record 13, French, - tach%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectronique

[...] comme le théodolite qui l’a précédé, le tachéomètre permet de mesurer les angles horizontaux (ou azimutaux) et verticaux. La détermination planimétrique d’un point s’effectue par rayonnement, et par nivellement indirect pour les mesures indirectes. Mais à la différence du premier, il est aussi capable d’évaluer les distances. Les modèles qui peuvent en outre enregistrer en temps réel les grandeurs mesurées (cas de la plupart des appareils aujourd’hui) sont appelés « station totale ». Enfin, certains appareils intègrent même désormais un récepteur GPS, qui détermine lui-même sa position et occasionne donc un gain d’efficacité supplémentaire. 5, record 13, French, - tach%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectronique

A measure of anterior flexion of the lumbar spine. With the patient standing erect, a mark is placed on the skin overlying the lumbosacral junction, that is, at an imaginary line joining the dimples of Venus(posterior, superior iliac spines). A second mark is placed 10 cm above the first. The patient then is asked to bend forward as if to touch his/her toes. With the spine in the fullest flexion, distance between the two marks is measured; it should exceed 15 cm in normal individuals. The measurement declines with progressive loss of spinal motion as seen in ankylosing spondylitis, degenerative disc disease, degenerative joint disease, and with aging. 2, record 18, English, - Schober%20test

The term "Schober test" applies primarily to the measurement of lumbar spine mobility. The test, however, is sometimes used to measure thoracic spine mobility. In this case, the measurement takes place between T1 and T12, which is approximately 30 cm. On maximum flexion, the distance should normally increase to 33-34 cm. 3, record 18, English, - Schober%20test

The speed of light in a vacuum is an important physical constant denoted by the letter c for "constant" or the Latin word "celeritas" meaning "swiftness". It is the speed of all electromagnetic radiations, including visible light, in a vacuum. More generally, it is the speed of anything having zero rest mass.... In metric units, the speed of light is exactly 299, 792, 458 metres per second(1, 079, 252, 848. 8 km/h). The fundamental SI unit of length, the metre, has been defined since October 21, 1983, as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299, 792, 458 of a second; any increase in the precision of the measurement of the speed of light would refine the definition of the metre, but not alter the numerical value of c. The approximate value of 3x108 m/s is commonly used in rough estimates. In imperial units, the speed of light is about 670, 616, 629. 2 miles per hour or 983, 571, 056 feet per second, which is about 186, 282, 397 miles per second, or roughly one foot per nanosecond. The speed of light when it passes through a transparent or translucent material medium, like glass or air, is slower than its speed in a vacuum. The ratio of c to the observed phase velocity is called the refractive index of the medium. 5, record 21, English, - speed%20of%20light

Notch width is not the same as carapace width. Notch width is the distance across the carapace as measured from the notch just anterior to the 10th antero-lateral spine to the same notch on the other side. Carapace width includes the length of the spines and is measured from spine tip to spine tip across the widest portion of the shell. Notch width is the preferred measurement for scientific work because the spines tend to wear off as the shell ages. The same wear does not occur to the notch so notch width remains constant until the crab moults again.--Ivan Winther, DFO Science-Pacific Region. 3, record 23, English, - notch%20width

The method of estimation is applicable in daylight and in bright moonlight.
