For the half volte, make a half circle to the right, and then ride in a diagonal line to a point some distance back on your track, and when you are close to it make three quarters of a turn to the left and you will find yourself on the left of the school, and in a position to practice keeping your horse to the right. Try it, beginning about two thirds of the way down the long side of the school. Now to get back to the right hand, you may turn to the left across the school, and turn to the left again. 3, record 1, English, - half%20volte

Figure 1... shows the principle of laminography, a synchronized motion between an X-ray source and a detector generating an geometric focus plane and forms an X-ray slice image of that. Objects in the focal plane are always projected at the same position of the detector. On the other hand, those that are not in the focal plane are projected to other positions of the detector and thus are blurred as the source and detector move in a complete circle. Thus the "noise" from the materials above and below the focal plane is eliminated when all the images on the detectors are overlapped. 2, record 5, English, - laminography

La laminographie est un cas particulier de la tomosynthèse dans lequel la source de rayons X, au lieu de se déplacer autour de l'objet, se déplace dans un plan parallèle au plan que l'on veut examiner. Comme la tomosynthèse, c'est une méthode de contrôle non destructif moins coûteuse que la tomographie tridimensionnelle classique. 2, record 5, French, - laminographie
