The Health Care System Division(HCSD) provides analytical and policy leadership on issues related to broader health system renewal such as fiscal transfers, governance and accountability, innovation and productivity in health care, and the roles and interface of the public and private sectors. It also coordinates and provides policy leadership in the Health Care Policy Directorate on horizontal issues such as monitoring the implementation of First Ministers’ agreements, performance reporting and research. As well, the Division provides secretariat support to the federal/provincial/territorial Advisory Committee on Governance and Accountability. Finally, the Division develops strategic plans for Health Canada in health care, and coordinates departmental work on the health care issues. 1, record 1, English, - Health%20Care%20System%20Division

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 4, 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 4, French, - tach%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectronique

Named in honor of René Descartes("I think therefore I am"), Cartesian coordinates use an arbitrary grid with an origin(0, 0) in the lower left, and increasing X and Y axes. The X axis runs horizontally, the Y axis vertically, and the locations within the plane are described using(X, Y) pairs. The X value describes the horizontal location of the point, and the Y value describes the vertical location. Cartesian coordinates are sometimes called plane coordinates because they describe point locations in a plan. See also Projection. 2, record 7, English, - cartesian%20coordinates
