3D [tridimensional] video is a generic term for a display technology that allows viewers to experience video content with stereoscopic effect. 3D video provides an illusion of a third dimension(e. g., depth) to current video display technology, which is typically limited to only height and width(2D) [bidimensional]. A 3D device works much like 3D at a movie theater. A screen showing 3D content concurrently displays two separate images of a same object... One image(right image) is intended for a viewer's right eye(R) and is captured by using R-camera... The other image(left image) is intended for the left eye(L) and is captured by using L-camera... 2, record 2, English, - three%2Ddimensional%20video

L'anaglyphe est une image qui peut être vue en trois dimensions à l'aide de filtres de couleur (placés devant les yeux de l'utilisateur). Il se base sur le principe de la stéréoscopie qui permet de capter une perception du relief grâce à deux images homologues représentant la même scène mais vue de points légèrement décalés.

Les vidéos 3D [tridimensionnelles] sont considérées comme l'évolution de la télévision conventionnelle actuelle. Le changement radical attendu est comparé à celui qu'occasionna l'introduction de la couleur à la télévision. Aujourd'hui, l'innovation majeure vient de l'apport de l'impression de profondeur générée par l'exploitation du phénomène de stéréopsie (perception de la profondeur de champ relative de deux stimuli présentés dans le champ visuel). 2, record 2, French, - vid%C3%A9o%20en%20trois%20dimensions

The scratcher is a simple device, consisting of a band of steel that fits around a joint of casing, and stiff wire fingers or cable loops sticking out in all directions around the band(360-degree coverage). A scratcher resembles a bottlebrush, but its diameter is greater than its height. Importantly, for scratchers to be effective, the casing must be moved. This movement may be reciprocal motion in and out of the wellbore, rotary motion, or both. In general, the more motion, the better the cement job will be. 2, record 4, English, - scratcher

Shaduf: Primitive device used to lift water from a well or stream for irrigation purposes. Essentially the device consists of a long boom balanced across a horizontal support form 8 to 10 ft (2.4 3 m) above the ground. The beam has a long, thin end and a short, stubby end. From the long end a bucket or similar container is suspended, and on the shorter end there is a counterweight. The operator pulls on a rope that lowers the long end of the boom so that the bucket submerges and is filled with water. He then releases the rope, allowing the counterweight to raise the bucket to the desired level, and then empties the bucket and repeats the process. 5, record 6, English, - shaduf

Laser force microscope senses topography by moving a tungsten or silicon probe across a sample(typically a microelectronic component) at a height of a few nanometers. The tip is set vibrating at close to its resonance frequency. Attractive forces... called van der Waals attractions and the surface tension of water that condenses between tip and sample, pull on the tip, changing its resonance frequency and so reducing its vibration amplitude. The variation in the forces, and hence in tip travel, reveals surface relief. A laser probe tracks the tip by means of a beam that is split into two. One of the beams is reflected through a stationary prism; the other passes through a Bragg cell--a device that shifts the beam's frequency--and is reflected from the back of the probe. The beams are recombined, and their interference produces a signal(at the Bragg-cell frequency) that measures the tip vibration. 1, record 10, English, - laser%20force%20microscope

The vertical rod is free to turn, and is rotated by means of a pulley and rope device. The observer selects a recognizable feature of the cloud base, and then rotates the comb of the nephoscope until that feature appears to move along the longitudinal member of the comb.... By using the "teeth" of the comb, and a timepiece, the observer may time the motion of the cloud. The speed of the cloud may then be determined, provided its height is known. 1, record 15, English, - comb

Laser Position Measurement. A commercially available position measuring device, Lasernet, was donated by the Namco Controls Corporation. A single narrow-beam laser is continuously swept across the field at a fixed height. A reflector of known geometry on the vehicle reflects the beam back to the device, which reports the initial angle, in the local geographic frame, at which a reflection is detected and the angular width over which the reflection is continuously detected. Knowing the geometry of the reflector, which should be independent of the heading of the aircraft, is sufficient to determine the vehicle's two-dimensional position in the local geographic frame. 1, record 17, English, - position%20measuring%20device
