  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

Pheromone traps. Pheromones are chemicals used by insects and other animals to communicate with each other. Insects send these chemical signals to help attract mates, warn others of predators, or find food. Using specific pheromones, traps can be used to monitor target pests in agriculture or in residential areas. By constantly monitoring for insects, it may be possible to detect an infestation before it occurs. Early detection of pest insects using pheromone traps can also lessen damage to agriculture and other plants. It can also limit the presence of stinging insects near you.

CONT

The compliance of each Annex B Party with its emission target will be assessed by comparing its emissions during the commitment period with the assigned amount held by the Party. A system of electronic registries is being established to keep track of the levels of assigned amount for each Party.... In order to transparently coordinate and track the movement of all these units, registries are linked via secure [Internet] channels. It is the job of the international transaction log, which is being put in place by the secretariat, to coordinate and monitor all these activities and ensure that each step conforms to the rules set under the Kyoto Protocol.

Un système de registres électroniques est en train d'être mis en place afin de suivre l'évolution de ces quantités. [...] Afin d'assurer avec transparence la coordination et le suivi du mouvement de toutes ces unités, les registres sont reliés par des lignes Internet sûres. C'est le relevé international des transactions, que le secrétariat est en train de mettre en place, qui coordonne et contrôle toutes ces activités et qui veille à ce que chaque étape du processus soit conforme aux règles du Protocole de Kyoto.

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools

CONT

ESA has presently only developed a basic end effector(BEE) for the European robotic arm. Although the BEE can support EVA and has a good overall performance, its size and mass make its use impractical for most of the operations involved in servicing payloads external to the spacecraft. The dexterity needed for these operations requires a much smaller, compact gripper, equipped with an array of sensors which fully monitor both its status and operations. Furthermore, it is desirable to keep to a minimum the limitations and constraints imposed on the payload by the interface requirements. Functions performed by the gripper are : recovery of insertion misalignments; positioning of an object at a target location; securing an object firmly and releasably; provision of mechanical power; monitoring gripper status and operation.

CONT

The Basic End-Effector (BEE) [is] permanently attached to the Robot arm tool-flange. [Its] mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible with the Standard Grasp Interface (SGI), available on all TEF [Technology Exposure Facility] subjects. Actions include grasp, move and release. Sensors include camera system for scene and close up visual inspection.

Un modèle technologique de pince destinée aux interventions robotisées sur des charges utiles montées sur une plate-forme extérieure a été réalisé dans le cadre d'un contrat d'étude, de fabrication et d'essais. Sa conception satisfait aux rigoureuses conditions imposées en ce qui concerne aussi bien la masse et l'encombrement que la capacité de charge. La pince permet également d'exercer une force mécanique sur des éléments de charge utile pourvus d'un dispositif de préhension spécifique, pour les manipuler, actionner des mécanismes et transmettre des forces. Le principe de conception est simple et les interfaces avec la charge utile sont réduites au minimum.

Pilot testing is the process of having representatives of your target population use and test your lesson while you monitor their progress and performance.

The best helpers are students much like those for whom the lesson is designed. Find at least three: One should be representative of the best of the potential students; one an average student; and one similar to the slowest of the students that will use the lesson. This spread of capabilities will enable you to test informally whether the lesson meets the needs of your entire target population.
