The Canadian Positioning, Navigation and Timing Board(PNTB) is made up of subject matter experts and executives from the Government of Canada and Canada's air navigation service provider who have a shared interest in satellite-based positioning, navigation and timing. The PNTB was established in 2011 to serve as a central point of contact for the coordination of civilian(non-military/defence) positioning, navigation and timing(PNT) issues at the federal level. As well, the PNTB is the central body for the exchange of information with foreign governments and organizations on civilian PNT matters. 3, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Positioning%2C%20Navigation%20and%20Timing%20Board

Le Conseil du positionnement, de la navigation et de la synchronisation (CPNS) du Canada est composé d'experts en la matière, de cadres du gouvernement du Canada et du fournisseur de services de navigation aérienne du Canada, qui partagent un intérêt commun pour le positionnement, la navigation et la synchronisation par satellite. Le CPNS a été mis sur pied en 2011 afin de servir de point de contact central pour la coordination des questions de nature civile (non liées aux domaines militaires et de la défense) en matière de positionnement, de navigation et de synchronisation (PNS) à l'échelle fédérale. De plus, le CPNS du Canada est l'organe central pour l'échange d'informations avec les gouvernements et les organisations d'autres pays sur les questions de nature civile en matière de PNS. 3, record 2, French, - Conseil%20du%20positionnement%2C%20de%20la%20navigation%20et%20de%20la%20synchronisation%20du%20Canada

The nanomotor has a positioning stroke up to some centimeters while operating with atomic resolution and thus builds a bridge over eight orders of magnitude. The nanomotor is a piezo driven linear motor consisting of a cylindrical housing and a slider with a free axial hole inside. It utilizes a piezo tube for fine positioning and a pulse wave produced by the same piezo tube for coarse movements. Every point of its stroke can be reached with a speed of up to 5 mm/s. In its free axial hole the nanomotor can transport a tip, a hose, an electrode, a hypodermic needle, a glass fiber or even a microgripper. The nanomotor is available in three different versions. The "small" nanomotor is half the size of a match stick. It can lift six times of its own mass. The dynamic force of this nanomotor is so high, that even imprints in diamond surfaces can be produced. Special versions of the nanomotor can operate in ultra high vacuum, in liquid helium, even under water or as non-magnetic drives. 3, record 6, English, - nanomotor

Skimboarding(or skimming) is a sport which involves riding a board on an outgoing wave.... Unlike surfing, skimboarding starts on the beach. The skimboarder stands within running distance from the point of entry into the water with the skimboard in hand and waits for a wave. As the desired wave approaches, the skimboarder runs towards the water. Depending on conditions, the board is dropped on a thin layer of water from a receding wave or on the thicker water in front of the wave. Then he or she runs onto the board one foot at a time using a technique known as the "One-Step" while properly positioning the feet and maintaining balance towards the centre of the board. 4, record 10, English, - skimboarding
