Subject field(s)
  • Informatics

CONT

The seven different stages of a cyber kill chain follow a sequential, incremental and progressive process of reconnaissance(i. e., phishing email), weaponization(i. e., delivery payload; virus, worm and malware), delivery(i. e., insider threat,... bot attack), exploitation(i. e.,... software vulnerability; network vulnerability), installation(i. e., actual payload setting up locally), command and control(i. e., trojan), and actions on objective(i. e., ransomware). Preventive measures can be taken at different steps of the kill chain to dam the cyber avalanche.

  • Office Equipment and Supplies
  • School Equipment
CONT

Mechanical pencils with leads that are at least 2 mm wide are called lead holders. Like wooden pencils, their leads can be sharpened to control their line width.... Another key difference between lead holders and typical mechanical pencils is their lead advancement system. Many lead holders use a drop clutch lead advancement mechanism rather than the incremental advancement mechanism most mechanical pencils use.

OBS

In English, lead holders are mechanical pencils with replaceable leads of at least two millimetres in diameter. In French, the designation "portemine" and its synonyms refer to any mechanical pencil, regardless of the size of leads used.

Key term(s)
  • leadholder

Record 4 2022-10-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Testing and Debugging
  • Computer Programs and Programming
CONT

Top-down testing is a type of incremental integration testing approach in which testing is done by integrating or joining two or more modules by moving down from top to bottom through control flow of architecture structure. In these, high-level modules are tested first, and then low-level modules are tested.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Test et débogage

CONT

Les tests descendants s'appuient sur les processus utilisateur et permettent de découvrir quels maillons de la chaîne font défaut. Ils servent aussi à valider des interfaces de haut niveau (écrans, services...) avant de procéder au développement de l'ensemble de l'application.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Compartment - Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
DEF

The Expansion Control Framework Policy developed where expansion to departmental space would only be provided with an identified source of incremental funding.

OBS

In 1990, PWGSC (Public Works and Government Services Canada), now PSPC (Public Services and Procurement Canada), sought and received TB (Treasury Board) approval to require non-reimbursing departments to reimburse PWGSC for unprogrammed expansion requirements. With this authority, PWGSC developed the Expansion Control Framework Policy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Tiroir - Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC)
DEF

Politique selon laquelle l’expansion des locaux de ministères n’est accordée que si une source de financement supplémentaire est désignée.

OBS

En 1990, TPSGC (Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada), aujourd’hui SPAC (Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada), a sollicité et obtenu l'approbation du Conseil du Trésor pour exiger des ministères et organismes non débités qu'ils remboursent TPSGC pour toute expansion non planifiée. Doté de ce pouvoir, TPSGC a élaboré le Plan de contrôle de l’expansion.

Record 6 2003-12-08

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

Hexapod is a support facility to be mounted on an EXPA of the ISS. The facility will be used for the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III(SAGE III). The facility has a bottom plate and a top plate. The two plates are connected by 6 linear actuators. Hexapod receives the pointing data from SAGE III and the actual base position from the ISS-EXPA. From this data the HEXAPOD control algorithm calculates the next position for each leg. Each linear actuator is driven by a double winding Brushless DC Motor, while the position is monitored by an incremental encoder. To sustain the launch load a launch support structure has been designed, which is released by dedicated electromechanical devices. Hexapod is controlled by a dedicated electronic unit... which interfaces to the Station via the MIL BUS 1553B.

OBS

Hexapod pointing device: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

The scanner operates continuously, with its drive phase locked to the data system’s master clock. An encoder signals the start of each scan. Aircraft roll compensation is accomplished by matching this start signal to the output of the roll gyro and delaying the start of data collection on the scan line enough to put the center pixel in the nadir position.

CONT

Background : Spacecraft Control. The incident was preceded by a routine calibration of the spacecraft's three roll gyroscopes(gyros). The three gyros, all aligned with the spacecraft roll axis, which is normally pointed toward the sun, measure incremental changes in roll attitude(orientation about the axis in space where the spacecraft rolls).
