[...] gyromètre [...] Le rappel élastique peut être obtenu par voie mécanique ou électrique. Les dispositifs de rappel mécanique sont soumis aux contraintes technologiques suivantes : non-linéarités (notamment hystérésis), limitant la précision de l'appareil, et fragilité, limitant la réduction du domaine de mesure (le domaine de mesure des gyromètres à rappel mécanique descend difficilement au-dessous de 20 degrés/s). Le rappel par asservissement électronique permet de se libérer de ces contraintes. [...] La précision obtenue est alors fonction de la qualité du moteur-couple à aimant permanent, et de la liaison entre boîtier et carter. Le remplacement du rappel mécanique par le rappel électrique permet [...] de passer de la classe 10-2 ou 10-3 [...] à la classe 10-4 et d'étendre les domaines de mesure, vers le bas, jusqu'à l'ordre de quelques degrés par heure. 1, record 1, French, - rappel%20%C3%A9lastique

Le collage, grâce aux colles modernes résistant à l'eau et à l'humidité, est un nouveau mode d'assemblage très utilisé aussi bien en menuiserie qu'en charpente. En menuiserie, il sert au renforcement d'assemblages de type traditionnel, soit dans l'aboutage, ou jointage bout à bout des pièces (entures multiples ou joint Scarf réalisés au moyen de machines spéciales). En charpente, il a connu un nouvel essor avec l'apparition de la charpente lamellée collée (...) 5, record 4, French, - assemblage%20coll%C3%A9

In mathematical terms, vertical lines run parallel to the y axis and horizontal lines run parallel to the x axis. Axis locks serve this function in an interactive design system. When the user draws a line with the axis lock turned on, the system assumes that a perfectly vertical or horizontal line is desired and sets the y or x difference of the roughly specified line to zero, locking it into a horizontal or vertical orientation. 1, record 5, English, - axis%20lock
