Record 2 2008-06-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Hardware
DEF

The active matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) technology most common in LCD panels and monitors.

OBS

It places the controller of the panel directly on the surface of the glass, producing higher quality screen images.

CONT

A display screen made with TFT (thin-film transistor) technology is a liquid crystal display (LCD), common in notebook and laptop computers, that has a transistor for each pixel (that is, for each of the tiny elements that control the illumination of your display). Having a transistor at each pixel means that the current that triggers pixel illumination can be smaller and therefore can be switched on and off more quickly.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel informatique
DEF

Transistor sur substrat ultra-mince mis au point pour commander séparément les cellules des écrans liquides.

OBS

Technologie utilisée pour la fabrication des écrans plats couleurs à matrice active afin de leur permettre d'atteindre des résolutions élevées.

Record 3 2007-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Clinical Psychology
CONT

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a gentle and unobtrusive treatment which eliminates a host of negative emotions ... TFT is not a 'talk' therapy. Instead you just think about the problem and then gently tap a series of meridian points on your upper body - for example, your eyebrow and then your collarbone. Gradually - or in some cases instantly - the emotion subsides until you're feeling calm and relaxed about whatever it is you're working on.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie clinique
CONT

La TCM [thérapie du champ mental] permet de résoudre des problèmes psychologiques en demandant au patient de tapoter avec deux doigts des points précis situés le long des méridiens énergétiques en respectant une séquence spécifique pendant qu'il pense à un problème particulier.
