DEF

The field of telerobotics dealing with the design, building and operation of robots from a distance in outer space.

CONT

Space telerobotics is an inherently complex task, requiring mental visualization skills, fine motor visualization skills, fine motor control, and adhering to procedure and flight rules. Often space telerobotics is accomplished only using video views of the work area, so the robotic arm operator must interpret two dimensional images to create a 3D [three-dimensional] mental model of the environment and their position inside it, all the while being aware of arm kinematics and limitations, avoiding collisions, and following procedural flight rules. To add to the workload, they also control the arm in six degrees of freedom, using separate rotational and translational hand controls, where the movement axes are frequently not aligned with camera views(e. g., the operator views the scene backwards or upside down).

OBS

space telerobotics: designation validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from Université Laval.

Telerrobótica espacial. Vistas las ventajas de los sistemas de teleoperación espaciales y el gran éxito del brazo del transbordador, en el año 1985, la NASA se planteó seriamente potenciar sus actividades de robótica y automatización para la exploración planetaria y la construcción de la futura estación espacial en fase de diseño. Resultado de estos estudios fue el inicio de diversos proyectos muy ambiciosos encaminados a la obtención de sistemas robóticos espaciales totalmente autónomos […] El [satélite japonés] ETS-VII constituyó un hito fundamental en la historia de la robótica espacial. Estuvo durante dos años en órbita realizando multitud de experimentos de teleoperación y telerrobótica espacial.

DEF

... moving a vinyl record back and forth with [the] hand while it is playing on a turntable, creating a distinctive sound ...

OBS

[Back cueing is] only possible with special stylus ...

CONT

These days, during back cueing, the neddle is being pushed towards the outside of the record, creating opposite forces. This causes the headshell to shake back and forth rapidly and results in skipping. With the straight arm, inside and outside forces are eliminated, leaving only forward or backward tracking force to prevent skipping.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Small Arms
CONT

The matchlock constituted the first mechanical device for firing.(...) For this improvement(...) two modifications of the hand cannon were necessary : the addition of a pan to hold the priming powder, which replaced the match in setting off the powder charge inside the barrel, and the addition of the serpentine, holding the match and thus freeing the hand of the shooter or his aide. These original matchlocks did not as yet include the leverage system worked by a trigger and indeed did, not have true "locks". Instead, the serpentine was a simple S-shaped arm pivoted in its center, the lower end serving as a handle by which the shooter moved the device manually.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Armes légères

(...) une platine de la forme la plus primitive fut ajoutée au canon à main; elle consistait en une tige en forme de S fixée par un pivot en son milieu de façon que, lorsque l'on tirait en arrière la partie inférieure, la partie supérieure, terminée par des mâchoires serrant un morceau de mèche allumée, venait automatiquement en contact avec le bassinet contenant la poudre d'amorce. Le tireur pouvait ainsi tenir son arme des deux mains et faire feu en agissant avec le doigt.

DEF

The axle which passes through the bottom bracket of the bicycle frame to which the chainwheels and cranks are attached.

CONT

Inside the bottom bracket is an assembly of bearing and a spindle that rotates. Attached on either end of the spindle are the crank arms, and at the end of each crank arm is a pedal.

CONT

Running through the bottom bracket shell, and anchored in place by cups and ball bearings allowing it to turn freely, is a spindle of forged steel to which the cranks are attached. When the rider stands on the pedals, the forces acting on the spindle are enormous, the weight and the strength of the rider being multiplied by the leverage of the cranks.

CONT

The bottom bracket axle (or spindle) rotates on bearings inside the bottom bracket shell.

OBS

The term "spindle" can be used to mean the stationary sheath around the axle or, as in this case, the actual revolving axle.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

Inflammation of the tendons which insert at the medial epicondyle (of the humerus) at the elbow.

OBS

Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are both forms of tendonitis. Tendons are the ends of muscles that attach to bone. Because of the force of the muscle, the points of insertion of the tendon on the bone are often pointed prominences. The medical names of tennis elbow(lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow(medial epicondylitis) come from the names of these bony prominences where the tendons insert, and where the inflammation causes the pain. The pain of golfer's elbow is usually at the elbow joint on the inside of the arm; a shooting sensation down the forearm is also common while gripping objects.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
CONT

Les mouvements répétitifs ont tendance à affaiblir les tendons près du coude, ce qui leur donne plus de chance de se déchirer. Avec l'épicondylite latérale, il s'agit des tendons sur la face extérieure du coude qui deviennent endommagés. Pour l'épicondylite médiale, ce sont les tendons du côté intérieur. Dans les deux cas, la personne ressent une douleur au coude et aura de la difficulté à effectuer des tâches aussi simples que tenir une tasse de café ou étirer l'avant-bras complètement.

OBS

L'épicondylite latérale (tennis elbow) et son parent proche l'épicondylite médiale (chez les golfeurs) ne sont pas seulement pour les joueurs de tennis et de golf. Ces problèmes peuvent survenir chez toute personne qui effectue des mouvements répétitifs, même si ce n'est pas sur un terrain de tennis ou de golf.

  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Common Berthing Mechanism(CBM) is a functional structure that is used to connect the components of the International Space Station(except the Russian modules).... A CBM is composed of two parts, an active CBM that uses an electric motor to make connection, and a passive CBM. To connect these two parts, an astronaut first uses the robot arm to grapple the module on which the passive CBM is attached and move it close to the active CBM. A limit switch located on the active CBM senses when the passive CBM is close enough to the active CBM and generates a signal indicating that preparation for berthing is completed. Next, the active CBM extends four capture latches to catch the passive CBM. The 16 power bolts then extend from the active CBM and are inserted into the holes of the passive CBM, completing the connection. When the pressurized modules are connected, a big O-ring seal made of special rubber will seal the CBMs to maintain air-tightness inside the connected modules.
