  • Cranes (Construction Sites)
CONT

In addition to the counterbalanced truck, sideloaders, and straddle-trucks ... two other vehicles often considered in a yard analysis are the crane truck and the rubber-tired traveling crane.

CONT

The wheeled crane is self-propelled and rides on a rubber-tired chassis that is an integral part of the unit. Power for transport is provided by the same engine that is used for hoistening, and the wheels are controlled from the crane cab.

CONT

[...] les grues mobiles sur pneumatiques ne peuvent travailler, en général, que sur stabilisateurs, ou à poste fixe sur les pneus mais avec une courbe de charge très réduite. De toute façon, elles n'effectuent pas de translation avec la charge (sauf peut-être quelques grues de parc ou d'atelier qui ne supportent que de très faibles charges).

CONT

Grues sur pneus : ce sont de petites grues en général autodépliables qui travaillent à poste fixe mais comportent leur propre châssis de transport. En position de travail, elles sont stabilisées sur des élargisseurs [...]

Although its approach is not tied to any domain, LOGO is mainly known for its applications in the exploratory learning of mathematics. In particular, the programmable "turtle" for the study of geometry has become famous. The turtle is a simple wheeled device bearing a pen, which can be programmed to move across a sheet of paper to draw geometrical figures. The idea is that a child who can discover how to program the turtle to draw, say, a triangle gains a very practical notion of what a triangle is. However, the use of the turtle is not limited to such simple geometrical concepts, and its power to "verify" concepts has been exploited to give students a personal experience of very advanced mathematical concepts(Abelson and diSessa, 2980). Now that LOGO has become fairly widespread, its concepts have found many application domains beyond mathematics.

Pour être un bon minimaliste, il faut produire un manuel le plus court possible, incluant uniquement les informations nécessaires quand elles le sont (just-in-time learning). [...] Le bon minimaliste doit également favoriser l'apprentissage exploratoire, c'est-à-dire laisser l'apprenant découvrir seul les fonctionnalités du système et progresser par essais-erreurs.
