PARALLEL ARRAY [12 records]

Record 1 2011-12-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Power Stations
CONT

The present invention relates to a modular nuclear fuel element, which can be adapted by an assembly system allowing it to be used in different nuclear power plants with horizontal and vertical cooling channels. The module is a cluster of parallel fuel rods mounted as circular concentric crowns and supported by a structural system. It has a single diameter fuel rod array where the ratio of the heat transfer area to the transverse rod area is higher than 330. It also has self-supporting fuel element spacer grids, which are collapsible sheaths attached to them with fewer than 13 welded end stoppers.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Industrial and Economic Psychology
DEF

A relative measure of one’s emotional intelligence potential ... at a particular period of his [or her] life.

CONT

Bar-On has been interested in measuring what he calls emotional and social intelligence, which he defines as a multi-factorial array of interrelated emotional, personal and social abilities that influence our overall ability to actively and effectively cope... Bar-On coined the term emotional quotient(EQ) for his measure, as a parallel to the term intelligence quotient(IQ) used with cognitive measures.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
  • Psychologie industrielle et économique
CONT

Reuven Bar-On est l'un des premiers chercheurs à avoir proposé l'expression «quotient émotionnel» pour mesurer l'intelligence émotionnelle. Selon lui, elle se situe au croisement des compétences et des habiletés émotionnelles et sociales qui favorisent un comportement intelligent.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Psicología cognitiva
  • Psicología económica e industrial
CONT

La inteligencia emocional podría definirse como "la capacidad para leer nuestros sentimientos, controlar nuestros impulsos, razonar, permanecer tranquilos y optimistas cuando nos vemos confrontados a ciertas pruebas y mantenernos a la escucha del otro". De hecho, el cociente emocional amenaza con desterrar al cociente de inteligencia de los test psicológicos que se realizan, por ejemplo, en pruebas de selección de personal o exámenes escolares.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
CONT

The Vision Skin sensor is designed to do accurate range sensing and close range imaging in approximately the 1 cm distance range. It utilizes an array of collimated holes as individual parallel pin-hole cameras to perform close range lens-less imaging. When a laser diode is added to the system, triangulation is used to determine the distance of the surface. The sensor can switch between imaging mode and range mode simply with software and lighting mode.

OBS

... Vision Skin provides images and data of objects very close to the sensor surface. It is analogous to heat sensors in the finger tips (which can sense heat when near a hot object without touching it) and the compound eye of an insect (which forms crude images of an object comprised of pixels array in the eye)...

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications

OBS

Le terme «skin» [désigne une] plaquette (mince) à pointes d'aiguille qui projette la lumière sur les objets. Il est alors possible d'estimer la distance entre l'objet et le capteur. Il s'agit de capteurs de proximité qui utilisent la vision comme méthode.

Record 5 2004-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
CONT

Storage electrodes extending in parallel to the scanning lines are formed on the array substrate. Each storage electrode forms a MOS capacity between a part of the pixel electrode and the storage electrode in order to suppress the variation of the pixel potential, which is caused by crosstalk between the signal lines or the scanning lines and the pixel electrode and leak current at the switching transistor.

OBS

MOS : metal oxide semiconductor.

Key term(s)
  • metal oxide semiconductor capacity

French
