On an airplane fitted with a controllable pitch or a constant speed propeller, there are two instruments which indicate information about engine power output, the tachometer and the manifold pressure gauge. Settings on the manifold pressure gauge are controlled by the throttle. Colour range markings, similar to those on the tachometer, are incorporated on the dial of the manifold pressure gauge to indicate the normal operating range and operation limits.

Human hearing is tested in a couple of different parameters; the tone(pitch) and the loudness. The normal speech range for humans is 250-1, 000 Hz(Hertz). A tone of 250 Hz is a man's low-pitched voice, and 1, 000 Hz is a woman's high-pitched voice. Good human hearing is 20 Hz to 20, 000 Hz(=20 kHz, 20 kilohertz).

Record 8 2012-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Golf
DEF

A club with an iron head the face of which has more slope than a pitcher but less slope than a niblick.

DEF

An iron with a face angled to 55 degrees to give the most loft as in pitch or chip shots to put the ball on the green from close range; it is identical to a sand wedge but has a thinner base.

OBS

The term "wedge" (as its French equivalent "cocheur") is a generic for angled-face irons, though more often used to mean the "sand wedge" because, of the "sand wedge" and the "pitching wedge", it is the iron more often found in a golf bag. Nevertheless, it is better to use the term only when it is evident which club is meant.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Golf
DEF

Fer court, apparenté au fer nº 9 et dont la face présente un angle très ouvert (55 degrés), utilisé pour les coups en hauteur ou coups d'approche-retenue, dont les bombés-roulés ou les cochés-amortis, en vue d'atteindre un vert à peu de distance ou sur une éminence.

OBS

Ce fer permet l'exécution de coups courts et hauts avec effet, mordant ou de rétro, ou avec roulé avant. Fer spécialisé, il ne fait pas partie du jeu de base de sept ou huit bâtons, les golfeurs se servant du fer nº 9 ou du cocheur de sable pour imputer une trajectoire de courte distance.

OBS

Pour désigner ce bâton, on a d'abord utilisé l'anglicisme «pitching wedge», puis, dans les années 80, «wedge d'allée», jusqu'à ce que, sur la recommandation de l'Office de la langue française, on adopte «cocheur d'allée». Le terme «cocheur» (et son équivalent anglais «wedge») est un générique pour les bâtons à angle très ouvert qui ne peut être utilisé pour signifier ce bâton qu'une fois établi qu'il est question d'un «cocheur d'allée» ou d'un «cocheur de sable»; «fer-plat», ou «fer plat», n'a plus cours.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Although some older adjustable-pitch propellers could only be adjusted on the ground, most modern adjustable-pitch propellers are designed so that you can change the propeller pitch in flight. The first adjustable-pitch propeller systems provided only two pitch settings, a low-pitch setting and a high-pitch setting. Today, however, nearly all adjustable-pitch propeller systems are capable of a range of pitch settings.

The prototype helium speech descrambler uses digital signal processing(DSP) to transform the diver's speech, thus counteracting the effect of heliox.... A sampling frequency of 16 KHz or greater captures the full frequency range of the diver's speech. The algorithm uses high order linear prediction to deconvolve and scale the vocal tract components while maintaining the original pitch of the diver's voice.

Record 14 1999-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The propeller governor incorporates an adjustable stop, which limits the maximum speed at which the engine can run. As soon as the takeoff r.p.m. is reached, the propeller moves off the low-pitch stop. The larger propeller blade angle increases the load on the engine, thus maintaining the prescribed maximum engine speed.

OBS

[The Allison A6441FN-606 and 606A turbopropeller has the two following features :] Mechanical Low-Pitch Stop(MLPS). The mechanical low-pitch stop is designed to prevent the inadvertent entry of the blades into the beta range during flight in the event of propeller-control-system malfunction. The MLPS with a setting of 18. 25 to 18. 5 ° "backs up" the normal hydraulic low-pitch stops. Hydraulic Low-Pitch Stop(HLPS). The hydraulic low-pitch stop is designed to prevent the propeller hydraulic governor from decreasing the blade angle into the beta range during governing operation. The HLPS has a setting of 20 ° blade angle from 30 to 68 ° coordinator. From 68 to 90 ° coordinator HLPS is scheduled from 20 to approximately 31. 5 ° blade angle. This scheduling is called beta follow-up and means that the propeller pitch cannot decrease below 20 or 30 ° during constant-speed operation controlled by the governor.

Pour protéger l'avion et le moteur, il est nécessaire de prévoir une butée à l'intérieur du mécanisme [de changement de pas] qui interdit de descendre au-dessous d'une certaine valeur. La position de pas minimum pour le vol est dite : "butée petit pas vol".

L'hélice est à pas variable et commande hydraulique à double effet; elle est tractive à droite et possède trois butées mécaniques : les butées "Drapeau" [butée drapeau] et "Réversion" [butée pas nul] limitent la plage de débattement angulaire des pales; la troisième, escamotable, constitue un dispositif de sécurité vers la position en pas nul. L'hélice comporte deux sécurités : - l'une "Butée Petit Pas Vol" constituée par la butée mécanique escamotable citée ci-dessus; elle est à déverrouillage hydraulique, et l'hélice ne la franchit qu'après impact au sol (...)
