The meter per second is the derived unit of speed in the International System of Units(SI). The meter per second(m/s) is equal to 3. 6 kilometers per hour(km/h), or about 2. 236936 miles per hour(mph), or 3. 28084 feet per second(ft/s), or 39. 370079 inches per second(in/s) or 1. 943844 knots(kn). The speed is the distance traveled by an object during a period of time. Thus, meters per second(meters/second) show how many meters are traveled in one second. The meter is a unit of length in the metric system[, ] while the second is a unit of time. 5, record 1, English, - metre%20per%20second

Ice meter... Objective methods of the icing measurements are based on the icing weight determination related to the unit of area(in meteorology) or to the unit of length(in power supply). The hard rime was determined with the aid of the so-called icing meter bars. They were represented by two wooden bars of 32 mm diameter and 1 m length, i. e. the surface area equals 0, 1 m² per 1 bar. Bars were placed horizontally and perpendicularly to each other. First of them was oriented in north-south direction, the second east-west. The amount of water was measured and result recalculated to kg. m-². These ice meter bars made possible quite reliable evaluation of the icing without having the continual measurement. Nevertheless they are not used contemporary in the meteorological service. 3, record 10, English, - ice%20meter

Using an avalanche cord is the oldest form of equipment-mainly used before beacons became available. The principle is simple. An approximately 10-meter long red cord(similar to parachute cord) is attached to the person in question's belt. While skiing, snowboarding, or walking the cord is dragged along behind the person. If the person gets buried in an avalanche, the light cord stays on top of the snow. Due to the color the cord is easily visible for rescue personnel. Typically the cord has iron markings every one meter that indicate the direction and length to the victim. 3, record 16, English, - avalanche%20cord

Le principe qui a conduit à la cordelette d'avalanche est simple. Lorsqu'un skieur est emporté par une avalanche, la probabilité qu'il soit repéré augmente s'il traîne derrière lui une cordelette de couleur vive, dont il est probable qu'une partie reste visible en surface de l'avalanche. En «remontant» la cordelette, on atteint la victime à laquelle elle est attachée. Elle était donc directement destinée au pratiquant lui-même, qu'il soit professionnel ou non. La cordelette d'avalanche, en nylon ou perlon, mesurait 16 m de long, et avait un diamètre de 3 mm. Elle possédait tous les deux ou trois mètres une bague en laiton sur laquelle était inscrite une flèche indiquant la direction de la victime et la distance l'en séparant. 2, record 16, French, - cordelette%20d%27avalanche

Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation of traditional drip irrigation where the tubing and emitters are buried beneath the soil surface, rather than laid on the ground or suspended from wires. The products being used today in subsurface drip irrigation come in three basic configurations : hard hose, drip tape, and porous tubing.... Porous pipe products emit water all along the length of the tubing. There are literally thousands of places per meter where water weeps out of the tubing. This design has shown resistance to plugging by roots. The disadvantage is its flow path is by far the smallest of the three configurations. This increases the likelihood of plugging by fine particles. It typically has the largest coefficient of manufacturing variability of the three configurations, which can be a major detriment because it prevents high distribution uniformities and high efficiencies. 5, record 21, English, - porous%20tube

Le goutte à goutte [...] permet de distribuer l'eau directement au pied des plantes, sans mouiller la partie supérieur (feuilles, fleurs, fruits). Il existe quatre techniques de goutte à goutte : le goutte à goutte mono fil : on ne pose qu'un seul goutteur ou un seul capillaire par plante ou par pot. Le goutte à goutte multitête : il s'agit d'une tête de distribution comportant 6, 8 ou 12 sorties. L'utilisation d'une gaine, un tube perforé tous les 30, 40 ou 50 cm. Les tubes poreux. L'eau est distribuée tout le long du tube du fait de la porosité du tube. 1, record 21, French, - tube%20poreux
