Mounted in a spacecraft [or an airplane], an inertia platform provides for the measurement and subsequently the correction of all the vehicle’s movements. The three sets of gimbal mountings allow the three gyroscopes to remain in a fixed plane ... whatever the movements of the rocket. These gyroscopes detect movements. Gyroscope 1 senses roll, 2 pitch, 3 yaw. In addition, accelerometers ... measure the accelerations of the rocket.

CONT

La plate-forme inertielle de l'IU [Instrument Unit, cœur du lanceur de fusée] fournit une référence fixe qui permet au lanceur de s'orienter dans l'espace. En clair, une plate-forme inertielle, c'est un appareil qui reste toujours orienté de la même façon quoiqu'on fasse, un peu comme l'eau dans un verre. L'environnement qui entoure la plate-forme se déplace, mais cette dernière reste toujours dans la même position. Ceci permet de mesurer l'accélération et l'orientation du lanceur.

CONT

Système de navigation à inertie [...] Le système se compose d'une plate-forme inertielle, d'accéléromètres intérieurs et d'un ordinateur. La plate-forme, qui capte le déplacement de l'aéronef au-dessus du sol, comporte deux gyroscopes. Ceux-ci maintiennent leur orientation dans l'espace pendant que les accéléromètres captent toutes les variations de cap et de vitesse de déplacement. L'information provenant des accéléromètres et des gyroscopes est transmise à l'ordinateur, qui corrige la trajectoire afin de tenir compte des facteurs comme la rotation de la terre, la dérive de l'aéronef, la vitesse et la vitesse angulaire de virage. Les instruments d'attitude de l'aéronef peuvent également être reliés à la plate-forme inertielle.

DEF

A chemical compound which appears under the form of white crystals, is soluble in water, alcohol and ether, is obtained as a reduction product when aniline is oxidized to quinone by manganese dioxide, and is used as a photographic developer (except color film), a dye intermediate, an inhibitor, a stabilizer in paints and varnishes, motor fuels and oils, an antioxidant for fats and oils and an inhibitor of polymerization.

OBS

benzene-1,4-diol: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

OBS

The prefixes "ortho-," "meta-" and "para-," along with their corresponding abbreviations ("o-," "m-" and "p-"), appear in italics and are ignored in alphabetizing. According to the actual chemical nomenclature rules in organic chemistry (in 2003), the numbers designating the positions of the disubstitution groups (1,2- for "ortho-," 1,3- for "meta-" and 1,4- for "para-") are to be preferred to the symbols "o-," "m-" and "p-." Furthermore, the prefixes "ortho-," "meta-" and "para-" should not be used anymore, and their corresponding abbreviations ("o-," "m-," and "p-") will soon be judged to be avoided, if not totally condemned.

Lockheed Martin has begun drop tests of its SCALPEL low-collateral-damage munition, the company announced May 27. Three inert SCALPELs were released by two AV-8B Harriers during a recent flight test at the Navy's China Lake test range in California, hitting their marks. The next phase of flights will demonstrate warhead lethality, the company said. SCALPEL is essentially a weaponized version of the company's enhanced laser guided training round with improved guidance and a small warhead. It is envisioned as an affordable option for close air support roles, especially in urban areas where it is crucial to hit targets precisely and avoid collateral effects. Medium-and large-sized unmanned aerial vehicles like the MQ-1 Predator could carry it as well as manned aircraft like the USAF F-16 and Navy/Marine Corps F/A-18 and AV-8B, according to Lockheed Martin.
