Record 3 2007-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A sensor made up of a linear detector array of CCDs (Charge Coupled Devices) that obtains data in the platform’s direction of motion (azimuth or along-track dimension).

CONT

Along-track scanners also use the forward motion of the platform to record successive scan lines and build up a two-dimensional image, perpendicular to the flight direction. However, instead of a scanning mirror, they use a linear array of detectors located at the focal plane of the image formed by lens systems, which are "pushed" along in the flight track direction(i. e. along track). These systems are also referred to as pushbroom scanners, as the motion of the detector array is analogous to the bristles of a broom being pushed along a floor.

OBS

The sensor’s instantaneous field of view extends the length of the swath width.

OBS

along-track scanner; pushbroom scanner: terms officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Key term(s)
  • along track scanner
  • push-broom scanner

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Engins spatiaux
  • Télédétection
DEF

Capteur constitué d'une barrette de DTC (dispositifs à transfert de charge) qui collecte des données dans le sens de l'orbite de la plate-forme (en azimut ou en trajectoire longitudinale).

OBS

Principe de fonctionnement d'un système à barrette de détecteurs. [...] Le balayage est donc longitudinal à la manière d'un balai poussé devant soi, d'où l'expression «push broom» employée par certains auteurs. Comme les détecteurs sont tous de la même dimension et disposés parallèlement au sol, les tachèles sur le terrain sont également identiques s'il n'y a pas de distorsions optiques dans l'objectif.

OBS

Le balayage perpendiculaire à la trajectoire ratisse la Terre en une série de lignes. Le balayage s'effectue d'un côté du capteur à l'autre, en utilisant un miroir rotatif. La radiation atteignant le capteur est divisée en plusieurs composantes spectrales qui sont détectées séparément. L'UV, le visible, le proche infrarouge et l'infrarouge sont séparés selon leurs longueurs d'onde. Un ensemble de détecteurs internes, sensibles à chacune des bandes spectrales, mesurent et enregistrent l'énergie en convertissant le signal électrique produit par les détecteurs en données numériques.

OBS

dispositif de balayage longitudinal : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 4 2004-02-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prostheses
  • Eye Surgery
CONT

The equipment used was a model UX-02 ultrasonic diagnostic unit(RION), and the transducer was the three-element annular array type.... It enabled evaluation of the position of fixation of an intraocular lens loop in the pseudophakic eyes containing an intraocular lens.

CONT

Chronic ciliary pain secondary to posterior chamber intraocular lens loop incarceration.

OBS

intraocular lens: An artificial lens made of plastic, silicone, acrylic or other material that is implanted inside the eye during cataract surgery.

OBS

intraocular implant: A plastic lens placed in the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye to substitute for the lens removed in cataract extraction.

Key term(s)
  • intra-ocular lens loop
  • intra-ocular implant loop

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prothèses
  • Chirurgie de l'œil
OBS

Implants semi-rigides (ou semi-flexibles). On réunira ainsi tous les implants de chambre antérieure à anses souples qui ont succédé aux implants rigides. Il en existe de très nombreux modèles, regroupables en plusieurs familles, avec notamment les CA [cristallins artificiels] à anses fermées, à éviter, et ceux à anses plus ouvertes, beaucoup plus recommandables.

Key term(s)
  • anse de la lentille intra-oculaire

  • Information Processing (Informatics)

CONT

In facsimile, the diode sensor array uses a stationary configuration of tiny photodiodes arranged in a matrix that equals in width one lateral scan line of a document. An original is rollerfed from a flatbed tray and passes by the sensor array one line at a time. Light is reflected from each line and focused through a lens onto the face of the photodiode array. Each diode acts as an independent photosensor in converting a small picture element into part of the total electrical signal for a scan line.
