Detection efficiency. The intrinsic detection efficiency of any device operated in pulse mode is defined as the probability that a quantum of radiation incident on the detector will produce a recorded pulse. Especially for radiations of low intensity, a high detection efficiency is important to minimize the total time needed to record enough pulses for good statistical accuracy in the measurement. Detection efficiency is further subdivided into two types : total efficiency and peak efficiency. The total efficiency gives the probability that an incident quantum of radiation produces a pulse, regardless of size, from the detector. The peak efficiency is defined as the probability that the quantum will deposit all its initial energy in the detector. Since there are almost always ways in which the quantum may deposit only part of its energy and then escape from the detector, the total efficiency is generally larger than the peak efficiency.  1, record 1, English, - peak%20efficiency

Parmi toutes les particules émises par la source, une fraction seulement arrive dans le détecteur (en fonction de l’angle solide, des absorbants éventuels entre la source et le détecteur) et, parmi celles-ci, toutes n’intéragissent pas dans son volume utile (cas des photons en particulier). Pour accéder au nombre de particules émises par la source, il faut donc connaître l’efficacité du détecteur utilisé pour les particules détectées. On distingue : — l’efficacité absolue […] l’efficacité intrinsèque […] souvent on ne s’intéresse qu’à la surface des pics. On parle alors d’efficacité au pic (absolue ou intrinsèque).  1, record 1, French, - efficacit%C3%A9%20au%20pic

Un autre écho à prévenir est celui qui se produit par une série prolongée de réflexions entre deux grandes surfaces parallèles. Une seule impulsion sonore produite entre ces surfaces tend à s'y réfléchir successivement, les différents trajets produisant une série de pulsations sonores, qu'on appelle écho flottant. Le phénomène s'amortit rapidement si une des surfaces est légèrement absorbante ou un peu irrégulière. Il ne se produit généralement pas de réflexions entre plafond et plancher, car ce dernier est garni de sièges et de gens, mais il est assez fréquent entre murs latéraux.  3, record 3, French, - %C3%A9cho%20flottant

This system limits the closing device to effect a single attempt while the signal to close is maintained. If the device fails to complete a satisfactory close operation whilst the close signal is maintained, then attempts at further reclosing(pumping) are inhibited. An anti-pumping can be achieved in the closing control circuit in various ways, either by using circuit-breaker mechanism auxiliary switches or a timing relay. It only allows a single closing pulse to the closing device, which resets when the initial closing signal is released.  1, record 5, English, - anti%2Dpumping%20system

A double beating pulse characterized by two impulses occurring during systole. The initial upstroke rises rapidly and is referred to as the percussion wave. This is followed by a small dip and then a second slower upstroke called the tidal wave. This type of pulse is found in combined aortic regurgitation and stenosis.  2, record 6, English, - bisferiens%20pulse
