A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation. 1, record 1, English, - microtunneling%20machine

The gyro... is a rate-integrating gyro that does not use a spinning mass. Instead, it measures angular motion by measuring the frequency difference between two contrarotating laser beams. Mirrors are used to reflect each beam around an enclosed triangular path, which produces a "laser-in-ring" configuration. 2, record 4, English, - triangular%20path%20laser%20gyro

[...] Sommerfeld a introduit la notion de relativité dans la description de l'atome : les électrons tournant à grande vitesse autour du proton voient leur masse s'accroître par effet relativiste. On trouve alors que l'énergie de l'atome dépend du second nombre quantique également, même en l'absence du champ magnétique : il en résulte que les raies d'émission de l'atome se subdivisent. On dit que l'atome possède une structure fine. La structure fine ne s'explique complètement que si l'on tient compte du spin de l'électron (le spin étant une quantité que l'on peut relier à la rotation de l'électron sur lui-même et non plus autour du proton). 2, record 6, French, - configuration%20d%27atomes%20en%20rotation
