In an embodiment, the hand... may start a training session in a semi-closed position, so it has room to open or close. The speed of the movement of [the] hand... may depend on information provided by kinematic sensors... For instance, the kinematic sensors... may provide a proportional control value to regulate the speed of movement of the hand... In an embodiment, the kinematic sensors... provide a value between 0 and 1 to the VR [virtual reality] control module... which reflects the speed of intended hand movement. If the value is closer to 0, the hand movement is correspondingly slow. If the value is closer to 1, the hand movement is correspondingly fast.

When the "haul in" signal is given on the docking telegraph …, the operator pulls on the slack end of the rope that is wound loosely round the drum of the winch. This tightens the rope slightly on the drum and it grips the surface. The amount of tension on the free end of the rope is multiplied several hundred times and the resulting force is enough to move the entire ship, pulling it into the correct position. The [captain] signals with the docking telegraph or a hand held radio to tell the winch operator what to do and, by heaving in and paying out the ropes at each end of the ship, she can be positioned in exactly the right place regardless of the wind and waves. 1, record 2, English, - docking%20telegraph

It was these days when the suppressor grid modulation became very popular utilizing the advantage of pentode for getting an amplitude modulation when the signal of voice frequencies is superposed to the suppressor grid. On the other hand, in those applications where suppressor grid modulation was not required, the presence of the suppressor grid made the structure of the transmitting tube more complex and also increased the inter-electrode capacities. 3, record 8, English, - suppressor%20grid%20modulation

[Avalanche Victim Search. ] The initial search involves a fast scan of the entire area where victims might be found(that is, from the last seen point, within the perimeters of the avalanche, and in the deposition areas). It concentrates on likely areas of burial in addition to listening for transceiver signals and looking for clues on the surface. Initial searchers should be equipped with transceivers, probe, and shovel as well as a few wands if available. Do a visual search for clues on the surface(that is, hand, foot, clothing, and equipment). Call out occasionally and listen for responses from victims. Pull any items found out on the snow to see if a victim is attached. Mark the location of found items and bring them to the attention of the rescue leader. Listen carefully for transceiver signals in these locations.(If victims were not wearing transceivers or if is unknown whether transceivers were used, quickly probe the area around found items.) If a transceiver signal is found, carry out a transceiver search.
