English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments
  • Sonar and Underwater Detection (Military)
CONT

As the survey operations frequently take place away from [the] mainland or suitable islands or coral reefs, a bottom mounted tide gauge(BMTG) was needed. These gauges had to have [an] operational depth limit of at least [200 metres] and produce [a] depth data with an accuracy of 0. 05%. Several deployment options were envisaged; from a free standing bottom deployment for long term data acquisition without telemetry, through shallow water installation with a hard wire connection to a shore telemetry station, to a bottom mounted gauge equipped with an acoustic modem for communication with [a] surface telemetry buoy for retransmission of the data...

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sonar and Underwater Detection (Military)
CONT

These were designed to correct the nonlinear range error, the drift of the target-centred display, and the saturation of the receiver by reverberation at short range, to limit the minimum transmission interval so as to avoid overloading the transmitter at short range, and to provide a separate rather than a switched remote display in the operations room – all faults observed during the operational evaluation.

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Radioactive Contamination
  • Anti-pollution Measures
  • Radiation Protection
CONT

Interpretation of these dose limits in terms of individual nuclides to be released from a particular site leads to the Derived Release Limits (DRL). These DRL’s, which are approved by the AECB [Atomic Energy Control Board], tell each nuclear power plant operator how much of each nuclide it is allowed under law to release from the stations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Pollution par radioactivité
  • Mesures antipollution
  • Radioprotection
CONT

L'interprétation des limites de doses dans le cas de nucléides particuliers à libérer à partir d'un emplacement donné permet d'établir une limite opérationnelle dérivée (LOD). Cette limite, approuvée par l'EACL [Énergie atomique du Canada limitée] indique à chaque exploitant de centrale nucléaire la quantité de chaque nucléide qu'il peut légalement laisser échapper de sa centrale.

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
DEF

A much below limit condition operating mode used to reduce stresses and increase material reliability and operational life.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et outillage d'exploration spatiale
DEF

Régime de fonctionnement largement en deçà des conditions limites, destiné à réduire les contraintes et augmenter ainsi la fiabilité et la durée de vie d'un matériel.

Record 6 1999-03-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Law
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
CONT

Processing standards include : a) emission standards which set limit values for pollution and disamenities which must not be exceeded in emissions from stationary sources; b) design standards for stationary plant prescribing the requirements to be observed with regard to environmental protection when planning and constructing stationary plants; c) operational standards stipulating the requirements to be met with regard to environmental protection when operating stationary plants.

OBS

Processing standards can either be the same for the whole economic area, or can vary from place to place in accordance with local differences in standards of environmental quality and the use made of them, but they must in any case be strict enough to ensure that the standard of environmental quality will be complied with.

OBS

Compare with "production standard".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit environnemental
  • Techniques industrielles
CONT

Les normes de procédés s'appliquent aux installations de production sous la forme de normes d'émission, de conception, de construction et d'exploitation des installations (ces modalités relevant souvent de la législation du travail et de codes de bonne pratique).

OBS

Essentiellement les normes de produits se penchent sur l'impact d'un produit donné sur l'environnement; les normes de procédés se penchent sur l'impact environnemental de l'équipement, de l'installation utilisés dans sa production.
