Un match disputé au meilleur des trois sets signifie que le joueur qui gagne le plus de sets est le vainqueur. Si l'un des adversaires en remporte deux consécutifs, la partie est terminée car son opposant ne peut plus le remonter. La plupart des rencontres - sauf les plus importantes des masculines - ont lieu au meilleur des trois sets. 4, record 1, French, - meilleur%20des%20trois%20sets

Los partidos constan de tres a cinco sets. Si un jugador, en el primer caso, gana los dos primeros sets, ya ha ganado el partido, y solamente se disputaría el tercero si cada uno de los contrincantes gana uno, ganando el partido el que se adjudica el último set. Lo mismo pasa en los partidos de cinco sets, el que se anota tres de esos cinco gana el partido; si uno de los jugadores se los anota de forma seguida, no hay por qué disputar ningún otro. 5, record 1, Spanish, - mejor%20de%20tres%20sets

The Stewart platform consists of two plates connected by six mobile and extensible legs. The lower or base plate is immobile. The upper or mobile plate has six degrees of freedom, three rotational and three translational. The platform is highly stable and easy to control. The platform's six legs each have two parts, an upper and a lower leg, with a piston-like cylindrical DoF between each pair of parts. The legs are connected to the base plate and the top plate by universal joints at each end of each leg.(These universals are not just sets of abstract DoFs. Each also contains a spider-like body, while also having two DoFs.) The upper part of each leg can slide into and out of the lower leg, allowing each leg to be varied in length. The position and orientation of the mobile platform(top plate) varies depending on the lengths to which the six legs are separately adjusted. Once the top is connected to the legs, the entire Stewart platform assembly has 36 DoFs. Only six DoFs are independent, the same as the top plate would have if it were disconnected. You can think of these independent DoFs as the six adjustable leg lengths or as equivalent to the six DoFs of the mobile plate. 2, record 2, English, - Stewart%20platform

Geodetic Technology trademarked "hexapod" for a Stewart platform in a machine tool context. However, apparently this has not stopped other machine tool manufacturers from using the term. A Free CNC software package, the Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) [1] is capable of driving a stewart platform using standard G-codes such as used for milling machines, etc. 3, record 2, English, - Stewart%20platform
