Laser Position Measurement. A commercially available position measuring device, Lasernet, was donated by the Namco Controls Corporation. A single narrow-beam laser is continuously swept across the field at a fixed height. A reflector of known geometry on the vehicle reflects the beam back to the device, which reports the initial angle, in the local geographic frame, at which a reflection is detected and the angular width over which the reflection is continuously detected. Knowing the geometry of the reflector, which should be independent of the heading of the aircraft, is sufficient to determine the vehicle's two-dimensional position in the local geographic frame.  1, record 3, English, - position%20measuring%20device

La centrale à inertie est un appareil de mesure du positionnement très utilisé en raison de son autonomie et de sa faible sensibilité aux perturbations externes. On en trouve à bord des avions de ligne, des sous-marins, ou des missiles intercontinentaux. Elle est aujourd'hui souvent couplée à un GPS : ce système hybride permet de réduire les erreurs, et donc d'améliorer la qualité de la mesure.  1, record 3, French, - appareil%20de%20mesure%20du%20positionnement

Circuit of electric field measurements of thunderclouds.... The electric field mill is a device based on electrostatic induction. It consists of one or two electrodes which either rotate in an electrostatic field or become periodically exposed to a field by rotating vanes. Fig. 46 illustrates a cylindrical field mill which consists of two cylinder halves that are electrically insulated from each other. An electric motor rotates the two halves in the electric field to be measured so that they become alternately exposed to both the positive and negative direction of the field. The result is that an alternating(ac) signal is generated across the two halves which can be easily amplified.... Although not commonly used, the cylindrical field mill has the advantage that when mounted in a fixed position it can also indicate the direction of the field. This is accomplished by measuring the phase shift of the ac signal relative to the orientation of electric fields need to be measured.  2, record 4, English, - cylindrical%20field%20mill

The device normally used to measure atmospheric electric fields is a type of sensor called an electric field mill. It can be used on the ground to gain information about the field aloft, or it can be flown on an airplane or balloon. Thirty-one ground-based field mills at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Kennedy Space Center are used to measure the electric field just above the surface of Earth, in the lowest meter of the atmosphere, and determine if it meets the safety levels specified in the Lightning Launch Commit Criteria. The small, cylindrical field mill is mounted upside down.  3, record 4, English, - cylindrical%20field%20mill

The British device is described officially as a Laser True Airspeed System(LATAS) ;it might be more accurate to call it a "potential" or "future" airspeed measuring system, since its function is to advise the pilot what his airspeed will be when he traverses a zone located a short distance ahead of his current position at any given moment. Normally this distance is in the 500-600 m range, far enough ahead at normal approach speeds of 360-450 km/h(200-250kn) to give the pilot some four to six seconds warning to recognize an impending change in true airspeed [due to turbulence] and to take any necessary corrective action.  1, record 8, English, - Laser%20True%20Airspeed%20System

Le dispositif britannique est officiellement appelé "Laser True Airspeed System" ou LATAS (système laser de mesure de la vitesse propre), mais il serait sans doute plus exact de le considérer comme un système de mesure de la vitesse propre "possible" ou "future", puisque son rôle est d'indiquer au pilote quelle sera la vitesse de l'avion lorsqu'il traversera une zone située à une faible distance de la position du moment. Normalement, cette distance sera de l'ordre de 500 à 600 m, ce qui, aux vitesses normales d'approche (360 à 450 km/h), devrait avertir le pilote quatre à six secondes à l'avance des modifications imminentes de la vitesse propre et lui permettre de prendre les mesures correctives nécessaires.  1, record 8, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20laser%20de%20mesure%20de%20la%20vitesse%20propre
