DEF

A Constant Velocity Joint is one that provides consistent driveshaft speeds regardless of the operating angle of the joint. CV joints are used primarily in on the driveshafts of front-wheel drive vehicles, and they come in two basic varieties : the Rzeppa ball type joints(which you’ll find on the outer end of the driveshaft) and tripod joints(which are used on the inner end).

OBS

CV joint; constant-speed universal joint; constant-velocity universal joint: terms officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

DEF

Joint de transmission qui assure l'égalité des vitesses de rotation des arbres menant et mené, alors que l'angle qu'ils forment est variable.

OBS

On désigne les joints homocinétiques par l'expression «joint fixe» ou encore «joint centré» par opposition au joint «coulissant» et au joint «déformable».

OBS

CONT

Plicae ou replis synoviaux. Il existe le plus souvent un septum incomplet entre le cul-de-sac sous-quadricipital et la bourse sous-quadricipitale, c'est la "plica synovialis supra-patellaris" (ou repli synovial supérieur). On peut rencontrer à la face interne de la cavité articulaire un repli en forme d'étagère, c'est le "plica synovialis medio-patellaris" ou "Shelf" des auteurs anglo-saxons (ou repli synovial interne).

Subject field(s)
  • Muscles and Tendons
CONT

The meniscus is a half moon shaped piece of cartilage that lies between the weight bearing joint surfaces of the femur and the tibia. It is triangular in cross section and is attached to the lining of the knee joint along its periphery. There are two menisci in a normal knee; the outside one is called the lateral meniscus, the inner one the medial meniscus.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Muscles et tendons
CONT

Les ménisques sont des petits disques cartilagineux situés dans l'articulation du genou, intercalés entre le fémur en haut et le tibia en dessous, favorisant la mobilisation d'une surface articulaire par rapport à l'autre.

Record 8 2002-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

The external semilunar cartilage of the knee.

CONT

The knee has two cartilage disks, called menisci, that are attached to the top portion of the tibia(the large lower leg bone). The lateral meniscus is located on the outer side of the knee joint, and the medial meniscus is on the inner side. These two wedge-shaped discs form a cradle for the cartilage covered condyles of the femur. The minisci absorb shock, and serve to cushion the knee. An injury to a meniscus may take the form of a small or large tear, a split in the disk, or a frayed or roughly torn area.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
DEF

Record 11 1988-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The closest one could come to having a "little person" or an "inner eye" that perceives the brain's activity would be in the self-symbol-a complex subsystem that is a model of the full system. But the self-symbol does not perceive by having its own repertoire of smaller symbols(including its own self-symbol-an obvious invitation to infinite regress). Rather, the self-symbol' s joint activation with ordinary(nonreflexive) symbols constitutes the system's perception. Perception resides at the level of the full system, not at the level of the self-symbol. If you want to say that the self-symbol perceives something, it is only in the sense that a male moth perceives a female moth, or in the sense that your brain perceives your heart rate-at a level of microscopic intercellular chemical messages.
