Record 6 2012-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
OBS

The construction of novel types of fibre lasers often requires doped fibres which first have to be designed, manufactured and finally characterised. In this presentation we give a comprehensive survey of the development of novel doped multiple clad fibers. Starting with a design of the refractive index profile of such a fibre, we have optimised the manufacturing based on an MCVD(modified chemical vapor deposition) process. Tests of the manufactured fibre including the measurements of the absorption spectrum and the dopant concentration are reported.

Key term(s)
  • MCVD process

French

Domaine(s)
  • Photo-électricité et optique électronique
DEF

Méthode de dépôt interne en phase vapeur qui consiste à déplacer un chalumeau le long d'un tube de silice; il y a déposition d'une couche de silice dopée chaque fois que le chalumeau revient au point de départ.

Record 7 2007-10-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

A graphical profile that exhibits ram resistance with depth.

CONT

The ram profile is a record of a hardness index through a vertical section of the snowpack. The ram hardness(R) is measured by driving a ram penetrometer(ram or ramsonde) vertically into the snowpack. The ram is a tube or rod with a centimeter scale for depth and a standard cone-shaped tip. The operator drops a hammer(H) a certain distance(f) and records the penetration depth(p) of the ram into the snow.

CONT

The ram profile highlighted a deep weak layer. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

The ram resistance is an index of the relative hardness of snow as measured by a rammesonde.

OBS

ram profile; ramsonde profile: terms officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

Domaine(s)
  • Stations, instruments et équipements météorologiques
DEF

Profil établi à l'aide d'un sondage de battage qui représente sous forme d'histogramme la résistance au battage (ou à la pénétration) en fonction de la profondeur.

CONT

Le profil de battage a permis de détecter une couche fragile en profondeur. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.]

OBS

[Un profil de battage] permet de se faire une idée de la stratification et de la dureté du manteau neigeux.

Department of Environment and Labour-Nova Scotia. The function of the Committee is to conduct an annual review of the minimum wage and submit to the Minister a report containing the recommendations of the Committee. This Committee has met regularly and has conducted the review by considering the following : economic theory; economic conditions and the impact of raising wages; Statistics Canada data such as Consumer Price Index, Average Industrial Wage, Low Income Cut Off, and a profile of minimum wage workers; trends in other jurisdictions; the changing value of minimum wage; and employers’ fixed cost increases.

Subject field(s)
  • Finance
CONT

Given the assumption that financial soundness is desirable, a methodology of measuring it is proposed through modifying the approach used by credit-rating agencies of the bond market. The approach develops a profile and overall index of financial soundness, using accepted ratios relating to financial soundness. The separate aspects measured are : 1. the ability to attract capital, 2. the ability to weather a period of interrupted capital availability through sufficient liquid reserves, 3. the flexibility to select alternative types and sources of income, and 4. the control over cash flow.

CONT

Measuring Pavement Roughness... The Rolling Straightedge or Profilograph type of device has been used in several areas, including California and Michigan... where there are truck mounted versions. The University of Michigan device records a continuous chart profile in each wheel track. Two sets of bogey wheels nine metres(30 ft) apart provide reference point from which vertical displacement is measured by a recording wheel at the midpoint. The cumulative vertical displacement per mile is termed the roughness index.

Le déplacement de la roue relativement à la masse, à une vitesse de 30 km/h (20 mi/h), est enregistré par un intégrateur couplé à un compteur électrique. Ce compteur est calibré pour enregistrer le mouvement vertical de l'essieu par rapport au sommet du système de suspension. La somme des déplacements pour un intervalle donné est appelée "indice de rugosité".
