Ultra High Resolution Spectrometer(UHRS).... Laser spectroscopy has stimulated the development of spectrometers with improved performance and has led SOPRA to develop a new line of monochromators with ultra-high resolution. SOPRA has designed the mechanical parts in the most careful way to take the best advantage of the newest diffraction gratings. The instrument function of a monochromator is defined by the product : Resolution X Luminosity/Noise=RL/N. The resolution R directly depends on the diffraction grating and the focal length. The luminosity L depends on the area, on the efficiency of the grating, and on the slits. The noise N is essentially caused by the light scattered by the grating through the output slit and it diminishes when the focal length is increased. Another crucial quality factor of a monochromator is the ease to use it, i. e. its stability and reproducibility with regard to resolution and luminosity, and its tuning characteristics. 1, record 12, English, - ultra%20high%20resolution%20spectrometer

Early milling tools were small implements used exclusively in the home to provide for one family's needs. It wasn’t until about 3, 000 years ago that people began to make larger saddlestones with increased output. The improved equipment meant that one person was able to produce more than their own family's needs; thus the professional miller was born. The first commercial establishments were combination mill-bakeries, the end product being leavened bread, for by this time the use of fermenting agents to aerate the flat clay-like cakes had also been discovered. 1, record 14, English, - saddlestone

Les premiers outils de meunerie étaient de petites dimensions et réservés exclusivement à l'usage familial. Ce n'est guère avant 1 000 ans av. J.-C. qu'on se mit à fabriquer de plus grandes pierres en dos d'âne d'un rendement supérieur qui devaient permettre de produire plus de farine que n'en pouvait consommer une famille. Ainsi apparurent les premiers meuniers professionnels. Les premier établissements commerciaux étaient à la fois meunerie et boulangerie; on y produisait un pain levé car, à cette époque, on avait déjà découvert l'utilisation d'agents de fermentation pour aérer les galettes plates, trop sèches et trop cassantes. 1, record 14, French, - meule%20en%20dos%20d%27%C3%A2ne
