La contribution de l'Agence spatiale canadienne (ASC) à la mission OSIRIS-REx de la NASA est un laser sophistiqué appelé «altimètre laser d'OSIRIS-REx» (OLA). Il s'agit d'un hybride du lidar de la station météorologique de l'ASC embarquée sur l'atterrisseur martien Phœnix et d'un instrument envoyé dans l'espace en 2005 à bord de l'eXperimental Satellite System-11 (XSS-11) de la force aérienne américaine. 1, record 1, French, - altim%C3%A8tre%20laser%20d%27OSIRIS%2DREx

Un titre obligataire assorti d'une option de conversion, par exemple une obligation convertible en actions ordinaires de l'émetteur, est un instrument hybride. En effet, il comporte deux composantes : un passif financier (l'engagement contractuel de livrer des liquidités ou d'autres actifs financiers) et un instrument de capitaux propres (l'option en vertu de laquelle le détenteur a la faculté, pendant une durée déterminée, de convertir l'obligation en actions ordinaires de l'émetteur). L'émission de l'instrument a essentiellement le même effet économique que l'émission simultanée d'un titre obligataire et de bons de souscription d'actions ordinaires. 2, record 3, French, - instrument%20hybride

If there is a question of a wind instrument in the Sacso project, it is not a matter of music but of flight mechanics and aerodynamics. Sacso designates a very particular model testing mechanism in a wind tunnel, dedicated to predicting the behavior of aircraft in flight. Contrary to the traditional setup where the model is fixed to the wall by some rigid device(sting, mast, or other), here it is suspended and driven in motion in the flow by nine cables, with controlled tension. Recent robotics techniques are used to control the system, namely "hybrid force-position control of parallel redundant kinematics. "This mechanism is currently dimensioned for the low-velocity domain(0-35 m/s) and is installed in Onera's vertical wind tunnel in Lille. 3, record 4, English, - vertical%20wind%20tunnel

Les mesures en soufflerie ne permettront jamais de se passer d'essais en vol. Mais, dans la soufflerie verticale de l'Onera (Office national d'études et de recherches aéronautiques), à Lille, un nouveau montage laisse entrevoir des perspectives inédites pour le réalisme des tests. Alors que les mouvements des maquettes de soufflerie sont généralement limités à un seul degré de liberté, ce montage permet de les faire évoluer selon des conditions proches du vol libre grâce à une suspension active, et donc d'étudier les couplages entre l'aérodynamique et le mouvement. Soit un gain énorme sur la capacité de prévision du mouvement des aéronefs : «Pour nous, il s'agit de prendre en compte la position de l'avion par rapport au vent, ainsi que les effets propres aux avions en rotation dans le vent» [... 3, record 4, French, - soufflerie%20verticale

The Positron Microscope was designed and built to be a hybrid instrument capable of performing several types of positrons and electron microscopy. For both electrons and positrons the microscope can be run in one of two modes : magnifying mode in which particles leaving the target are focussed onto a CEMA plate assembly to form a magnified image and scanning mode in which the amplitude of a signal is recorded as a function of the position(and possibly energy) of the incident beam. As an electron microscope the instrument will be able to operate in both magnifying and scanning(SEM) modes. As a positron microscope, however, source considerations will limit its immediate use to magnifying mode, i. e. positron reemission microscopy. 2, record 5, English, - positron%20microscope
