[...] au moins quatre ou cinq masques sont nécessaires pour réaliser un circuit intégré ... Il est donc difficilement concevable de réaliser directement, avec cet appareil, un masque d'un diamètre classique de deux pouces avec la précision maximale. Mieux vaut ne réaliser qu'un motif élémentaire qui ne fait en général que quelques millimètres carrés, puis faire un masque complet sur lequel les motifs élémentaires sont juxtaposés par photo à l'aide d'un photorépéteur. 4, record 2, French, - photor%C3%A9p%C3%A9teur

In the Linear concept... aircraft are parked on the apron at the face of the terminals in perpendicular, angled or parallel parked positions. An airside corridor may be located parallel to the terminal face nearest the apron, with access to the terminal and aircraft gate positions at intervals. The linear configuration can be either centralized or decentralized. Ease of access and relatively short walking distances for originating passengers can result if the passenger is delivered to a point at or near his gate of departure by a vehicular circulation system(road and/or transit), which becomes a more dominant element in this concept than in the other concepts. The terminal area will be fully decentralized by locating the departure lounges, ticketing and baggage areas at each aircraft gate position. 2, record 3, English, - linear%20system

Système linéaire. Aux aérogares où seulement quelques postes de stationnement sont nécessaires, un système linéaire d'embarquement est une configuration logique (...) C'est le système habituellement utilisé aux petits aérodromes. Avec ce système, les distances de marche sont réduites. 1, record 3, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20lin%C3%A9aire
