Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)

  • Geological Research and Exploration
  • Seismic Prospecting
DEF

The member of a seismograph crew who attends to the placement of the geophones.

CONT

Seismic Line Crew Helper. As a Line Crew Helper, Andre lays out and picks up seismic recording equipment for 2D and 3D land seismic data acquisition.

CONT

... the [seismic exploration] industry needs chainsaw buckers to help clear a path in forested areas, survey helpers to mark where the explosives and vibrators need to go, driller helpers to handle the explosives and help drill the shot hole for the explosives, and line crew helpers to lay the cable and sensors that will record the data. ... With as many as fifty line crew helpers needed on a crew, these juggies are the muscle on the team. Line crew helpers are often called recorder helpers because much of their work involves laying the electronic equipment and wires that record sounds coming from underground.

CONT

Helpers are inexperienced people in training positions on seismic crews. After they gain skills and experience, helpers may move to other positions on a crew. Recording helpers, often called jug hustlers, assist seismic observers. In preparation for recording activities, observers may require as many as twenty or more helpers to haul cables, geophones and other recording equipment, and place and connect recording equipment.

CONT

A Line Crew/Recorder Helper/is responsible for the laying out and picking up of seismic recording equipment for the purposes of both 2D and 3D land seismic data acquisition. In preparation for recording activities, there may be as many as fifty or more helpers to lay out cables and plant geophones. The position involves working twelve to fourteen hours per day, walking six to 20 km on uneven terrain, carrying cables and geophones for pick-up or layout(up to 90lbs) ensuring quality control on lay-out and pick-up, participating actively in all company safety initiatives, following all helicopter safety protocol, and loading and unloading of seismic equipment from seismic line vehicles or helibags.

OBS

jug hustler; juggy: slang terms. The term «jug» is a synonym of «geophone».

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Ships and Boats
  • Naval Forces
CONT

HALIFAX class frigates carry a formidable array of weapons and sensor systems including 8 Harpoon long-range, surface-to-surface missiles, 16 Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missiles, a Bofors 57mm rapid-fire gun, a 20mm Phalanx anti-missile close-in-weapons-system (CIWS), 8 x 12.7mm machine guns and 24 anti-submarine homing torpedoes. In addition, the ships can defend themselves using infra-red suppression, Shield decoys, chaff, flares, a towed acoustic decoy, and radar and sonar jamming devices. The ship’s torpedo-carrying helicopter significantly extends its range of operational effectiveness.

CONT

[Halifax-class ships] make extensive use of Canadian-designed computer technology for integrated propulsion and machinery control, communications and combat systems. Each ship is equipped to operate with one Sea King helicopter. Capable of speeds in excess of 30 nautical miles(55 km) per hour, Halifax-class frigates have a normal operating range of up to 11, 000 kilometres. Each ship has a crew of 225(or 195 without helicopter detachment embarked).

CONT

Les frégates de la classe Halifax disposent d'un arsenal sensationnel constitué de divers systèmes d'armes et de détection, dont 8 missiles surface-surface à longue portée Harpoon, 16 missiles surface-air Sea Sparrow, un canon à tir rapide Bofors de 57 mm, un système de défense rapprochée (CIWS) Phalanx de 20 mm, 8 mitrailleuses de 12,7 mm et 24 torpilles anti-sous-marines autoguidées. Par ailleurs, ces navires ont aussi des systèmes d'autodéfense : suppression infrarouge, leurres Shield, paillettes, fusées, leurre acoustique remorquée et dispositifs de brouillage de radar et de sonar. L'hélicoptère embarqué, qui est équipé de torpilles, accroît considérablement son efficacité opérationnelle.

CONT

[Les navires de la classe Halifax] utilisent de façon étendue une technologie des ordinateurs de conception canadienne, notamment un système intégré de commande des machines ainsi que des systèmes de communications et de combat. Les navires de la classe Halifax peuvent dépasser la vitesse maximale de 28 nœuds et leur capacité d'accélération/de décélération et de manœuvre ainsi que leur capacité de navigabilité dépassent de beaucoup ce que la Marine canadienne a acquis jusqu'à présent. L'autonomie en croisière est supérieure à 11 000 kilomètres à une vitesse moyenne de 15 nœuds avec les deux machines principales. Chaque navire compte un équipage de 225 officiers et militaires du rang.

Subject field(s)
  • Launchers (Astronautics)
CONT

The Rotary Rocket Company is developing the Roton which is a fully reusable, single-stage-to-orbit, commercial launch vehicle. It will be piloted by a crew of two and is being designed to carry 7, 000 lbs to low-earth-orbit. The Roton will takeoff vertically like a conventional rocket powered by a new rotary engine burning liquid oxygen and jet fuel. Once its payload is delivered to orbit, the Roton returns to Earth via a nose-mounted rotor which is deployed in space and used during reentry to help stabilize the craft. Once in the atmosphere, the vehicle will glide like an autorotating helicopter and land vertically, assisted by rotor tip thrusters.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Lanceurs (Astronautique)
CONT

Le Roton de la Société Rotary Rocket décolle verticalement, propulsé par un moteur de fusée rotatif. Après la libération de la charge utile, le véhicule retourne sur Terre en dépliant des pales d'hélicoptère. Il rentre dans l'atmosphère par la base. Les pales sont d'abord en rotation passive, puis elles sont entraînées par de petites fusées montées à leurs extrémités lors de l'atterrissage vertical.
