DEF

In lighting, a means for grouping a number of individual controls under a master switch or dimmer.

OBS

Term taken from a text called "Television Studio Lighting and Control System (Project 700443)", submitted for terminological research purposes by A. Mandeville of the Plans and Specifications Section in Montréal.

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
CONT

The Vision Skin sensor is designed to do accurate range sensing and close range imaging in approximately the 1 cm distance range. It utilizes an array of collimated holes as individual parallel pin-hole cameras to perform close range lens-less imaging. When a laser diode is added to the system, triangulation is used to determine the distance of the surface. The sensor can switch between imaging mode and range mode simply with software and lighting mode.

OBS

... Vision Skin provides images and data of objects very close to the sensor surface. It is analogous to heat sensors in the finger tips (which can sense heat when near a hot object without touching it) and the compound eye of an insect (which forms crude images of an object comprised of pixels array in the eye)...

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
  • Équipement et outillage d'exploration spatiale
OBS

Le terme «skin» [désigne une] plaquette (mince) à pointes d'aiguille qui projette la lumière sur les objets. Il est alors possible d'estimer la distance entre l'objet et le capteur. Il s'agit de capteurs de proximité qui utilisent la vision comme méthode.

Record 7 1992-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
  • Illumination Engineering
CONT

Tree lighting reflected in a placid swimming pool makes a relaxing nighttime environment.

OBS

There are almost as many ways of illuminating trees as there are botanical varieties of them. Individual trees are so variable in shape, even within a single variety, and groups of trees exhibit such an extraordinary variety of form, that each tree-lighting assignment merits being approached afresh, with no preconceived notions of any "ideal" effect or "ideal" lighting solution.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Architecture paysagère
  • Éclairagisme
CONT

L'éclairage des arbres et arbustes de grande taille. Plaçons la source lumineuse sous les végétaux mais, juste sous les branchages, si le feuillage est aéré et permet ainsi la pénétration des rayons lumineux, ou à bonne distance du tronc, si le feuillage est épais et souligne alors la silhouette de la frondaison. Réservons, par exemple, la lumière blanche pour les bouleaux et la lumière verte ou bleue pour les conifères. Les spots seront plus ou moins puissants selon le volume à éclairer.
