There are two basic methods of measuring material with portable gauges, backscatter and direct transmission. "Direct transmission" is considered the more precise of the two, as it offers less error in measuring composition and compensates for surface roughness. To measure soil density, for example, the source is placed in a tube and inserted beneath the surface through a punched access hole. Radiation is then transmitted from the source to a detector on the base of the gauge. The density of the soil is determined by the radiation level at the detector. 1, record 11, English, - direct%20transmission%20method

Il existe deux méthodes fondamentales pour mesurer le matériau à l'aide de jauges portatives : la transmission directe et la rétrodiffusion. On considère la «transmission directe» comme la plus précise des deux puisqu'elle comporte moins d'erreurs de mesure de la composition et qu'elle compense pour les inégalités de surface. Si l'on désire mesurer la densité du sol, par exemple, la source est placée dans un tube et insérée sous la surface du sol par un trou d'accès. Les rayonnements passent ensuite de la source à un détecteur placé à la base de la jauge et la densité du sol est déterminée par le niveau de rayonnement indiqué par le détecteur. 1, record 11, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20transmission%20directe

A sweep ramp provides the tuning voltage for a voltage-tuned oscillator and is simultaneously applied to the horizontal-deflection system of a cathode-ray-tube display. The local-oscillator frequency is mixed with the input signal to produce an intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is detected, filtered, and applied to the vertical deflection plates of the CRT [cathode-ray-tube]. 5, record 12, English, - cathode%2Dray%20tube%20display

The receiver has to have suitable pass band characteristics to deal with the pulse modulation side bands, and must be free from paralysis following reception of a large signal... Its output is rectified and amplified and applied to the cathode-ray tube display, either as a deflexion or an intensity modulation. The cathode-ray tube is also supplied with a range time base..., synchronized to the pulse transmission, and suitable calibration devices... are usually also necessary. The form of the display unit depends on the particular radar application, and on what coordinate or coordinates other than range are to be presented. For example, in the plan position indicator the time base starts from the centre of the tube and goes radically outwards in a direction depending on the azimuth of the beamed aerials(which sweeps continuously), and the signal is presented as a spot intensifier. 6, record 12, English, - cathode%2Dray%20tube%20display

The main torsional failure had developed from an area of fatigue failure which had multiple origins in the base of the weld joining the landing gear actuating fork bolt attachment to the torque tube. The positions of the fatigue origins were all consistent with loads resulting from driving the main gear into the locked down position. It was not possible to determine the order of the number of gear actuations which had occurred between the initiation of the fatigue and the eventual torsional rupture. 1, record 15, English, - actuating%20fork

Portable gauges are used in industries such as agriculture, construction, and civil engineering to measure things like the moisture in soil, and the density of asphalt in a paving mix. There are two basic methods of measuring material with portable gauges, backscatter and direct transmission.... To measure soil density, for example, the source is placed in a tube and inserted beneath the surface through a punched access hole. Radiation is then transmitted from the source to a detector on the base of the gauge. 3, record 17, English, - portable%20gauge

Les jauges portatives sont utilisées dans l'industrie de l'agriculture, de la construction et du génie civil afin de mesurer, par exemple, l'humidité du sol et la densité de l'asphalte dans un mélange de pavage. Il existe deux méthodes fondamentales pour mesurer le matériau à l'aide de jauge portative : la transmission directe et la rétrodiffusion. [...] Si l'on désire mesurer la densité du sol, par exemple, la source est placée dans un tube et insérée sous la surface du sol par un trou d'accès. Les rayonnements passent ensuite de la source à un détecteur placé à la base de la jauge et la densité du sol est déterminée par le niveau de rayonnement indiqué par le détecteur. 3, record 17, French, - jauge%20nucl%C3%A9aire%20portative
