Un tachéomètre électronique est l’équivalent d’un théodolite où les mesures sont effectuées électroniquement, affichées sur un écran à cristaux liquides et sauvegardées dans une mémoire interne. Le tachéomètre mesure l’angle horizontal de la lunette sur le plateau par rapport à une ligne de référence et l’angle vertical de la lunette par rapport au plan horizontal. Il mesure aussi, et c’est sa principale qualité, la distance entre un prisme de réflexion et l’axe verticale de la lunette au moyen d’un rayon laser en mesurant le temps de parcours du rayon. En utilisant la trigonométrie, le tachéomètre peut convertir ces données en coordonnées cartésiennes (X, Y, Z) ou en coordonnées cylindriques (angle, distance, élévation). 4, record 3, French, - tach%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectronique

[...] comme le théodolite qui l’a précédé, le tachéomètre permet de mesurer les angles horizontaux (ou azimutaux) et verticaux. La détermination planimétrique d’un point s’effectue par rayonnement, et par nivellement indirect pour les mesures indirectes. Mais à la différence du premier, il est aussi capable d’évaluer les distances. Les modèles qui peuvent en outre enregistrer en temps réel les grandeurs mesurées (cas de la plupart des appareils aujourd’hui) sont appelés « station totale ». Enfin, certains appareils intègrent même désormais un récepteur GPS, qui détermine lui-même sa position et occasionne donc un gain d’efficacité supplémentaire. 5, record 3, French, - tach%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A9lectronique

Snowline ... is the lowest limit of permanent snow on a mountain. During the cold season, snow will fall onto a mountain and build up. During warmer seasons, the snow may begin to melt. Where the melting is offset by the accumulation of snow, the snow remains all year round - and forms the snowline.

Snow line [is the] altitude above which or latitude beyond which snow does not melt in summer(usually called the permanent snow line), or, in winter, the line to which snow extends at a given point in time. Factors affecting the location of the snow line are the quantity of snowfall, the steepness of the slope on which snow rests, the exposure of an area to the sun and prevailing winds, the type and velocity of the winds, and the presence or absence of large bodies of water. The level of the snow line is much lower in winter than in summer.

As soon as work is started on a cut or fill section, centerline stakes may be destroyed by equipment and many of the slope stakes will be removed. In order to eliminate resurveying of portions of the road to relocate these stakes, offset stakes are placed beyond the limits of construction and are used to relocate the original stakes. Offset stakes are set on a line at right angles to the centerline of the facility. From these, the slope/stakes can easily be located. After relocating a slope stake, the centerline stake can be relocated by measuring toward the centerline of the road the horizontal distance indicated on the slope stake and placing the new centerline stake there; Placement and marking. An offset stake will contain all the info given on the original slope stake plus the horizontal distance from the original slope stake to the offset stake. This offset distance is marked on the front of the stake and is circled to indicate that it is an offset reference. If the off-set stake is at a different elevation than the slope stake, then the cut or fill value will be increased or decreased by the difference in elevation.

By the arithmetic slope of the indifference curve, we mean this : To find the slope of the curve at, say, point B, take a ruler and place it so that it is just tangent to the curve at B--it touches the curve, but does not cross it either above or below B. Mark the points at which the ruler's edge crosses the two axes. The slope is the ratio of the distance cut off on the vertical axis to the distance cut off on the horizontal axis. 1, record 27, English, - arithmetic%20slope%20of%20the%20indifference%20curve
