Laser robots are well established in the material processing industry. They are used for cutting, welding and marking of work pieces made from diverse materials. In these applications, it is important to move the focal spot of the laser beam exactly along the desired machining contour on the work piece. Available laser sources are powerful enough to allow for very high machining velocities, which, however, are often beyond the capabilities of the robot arm that guides the laser beam. 2, record 1, English, - laser%20robot

Shaduf : Primitive device used to lift water from a well or stream for irrigation purposes. Essentially the device consists of a long boom balanced across a horizontal support form 8 to 10 ft(2. 4 3 m) above the ground. The beam has a long, thin end and a short, stubby end. From the long end a bucket or similar container is suspended, and on the shorter end there is a counterweight. The operator pulls on a rope that lowers the long end of the boom so that the bucket submerges and is filled with water. He then releases the rope, allowing the counterweight to raise the bucket to the desired level, and then empties the bucket and repeats the process. 5, record 4, English, - shaduf

Shadufs can be used in a series where it is desired to raise water to a height exceeding the range of a single one. It has been suggested that the massive stones used in building the pyramids of Egypt were raised by an ancient variant of this device. 5, record 4, English, - shaduf

[...] LASER est l'acronyme de «Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation», ce qui signifie en français : «amplification de la lumière par émission stimulée de radiations». Pour être plus explicite, disons que le laser est [un procédé qui génère] des faisceaux lumineux concentrés (cohérence spatiale) qui présentent la particularité d'avoir tous la même longueur d'onde et d'être tous en phase à un instant donné (cohérence temporelle). La cohérence temporelle permet d'obtenir un faisceau lumineux monochromatique, c'est-à-dire d'une seule couleur (une seule longueur d'onde), tandis que la cohérence spatiale produit un faisceau rectiligne dont l'énergie peut être transportée sur une longue distance sans rien perdre de sa puissance. 1, record 5, French, - amplification%20de%20la%20lumi%C3%A8re%20par%20%C3%A9mission%20stimul%C3%A9e%20de%20radiations

The problem has been explored extensively for linear regime. The beam plasma interaction in the non-linear regime, especially in the "self-consistent" manner as proposed here, has not been investigated well. In this connection, plasma perturbation movements, caused by powerful, non-stationary electromagnetic fields and the reverse influence of these perturbations on the process of plasma-beam interaction will be investigated theoretically and experimentally. 2, record 12, English, - plasma%2Dbeam%20interaction

Il existe depuis une dizaine d'années de petits accéléromètres à coût acceptable. Il existe plusieurs grands principes : Muruta produit le Gyrostar, un prisme excité par piézo, utilisant la force de Coriolis qui donne trois vitesses angulaires. [...] Les autres fabricants utilisent des lames ou poutres vibrantes donnant des accélérations perpendiculaires aux plans de vibration. Un barreau vibrant lesté, est excité par un piézo, un deuxième piézo collé sur la face opposée de la lamelle recueille le signal de vibration. En cas d'accélération perpendiculaire au plan de la lame, la sinusoïde reçue est déformée, le mouvement étant accéléré dans le sens du déplacement, freiné dans l'autre. Les signaux excitation et réponse sont combinés dans un soustracteur, une manipulation donne un signal qui pilote un convertisseur à PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). Le rapport cyclique variable donne l'accélération. 3, record 14, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9rom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20lame%20vibrante

A projection used to evaluate the elbow joint. The patient is seated at the side of the radiographic table, with the forearm resting on its ulnar side, the elbow joint flexed 90°, and the thumb pointing upward. The central beam is directed toward the radial head at a 45° angle to the forearm. The film in this projection shows the radial head projected ventral, free of overlap by the coronoid process, which is also well demonstrated. This projection is also effective in evaluating the capitellum and humeroradial and humeroulnar articulations.
