Record 4 2000-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
DEF

That portion of the guidance signal error which causes control surface, wheel and column motion and could affect aircraft attitude angle during coupled flight, but does not cause aircraft displacement from the desired course and/or glide path.

OBS

control motion noise; CMN: term, abbreviation and definition officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
DEF

Partie de l'erreur de signal de guidage qui provoque des déplacements des gouvernes et commandes d'assiette latérale et longitudinale et qui est susceptible d'influer sur l'assiette de l'aéronef en vol couplé, mais qui n'écarte pas l'aéronef de l'alignement de piste et/ou de l'alignement de descente souhaités.

OBS

bruit sur les commandes; CMN : terme, abréviation et définition uniformisés par l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Pilotaje y navegación aérea
DEF

Aquella parte del error de la señal de guía que origina movimiento en los timones y mandos y pudiera afectar al ángulo de actitud de la aeronave durante el vuelo acoplado, pero que no hace que la aeronave se desvíe del rumbo y/o de la trayectoria de planeo deseados.

OBS

ruido de mandos; CMN : término, abreviatura y definición aceptados oficialmente por la Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (OACI).

Record 5 1999-01-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
DEF

A control scheme whereby the velocity vector of the end point of a manipulator arm is commanded and the computer determines the joint angular velocities to achieve the desired result. Coordination of a robot's axes so that the velocity vector of the end joint is under direct control. Motion in the coordinate system of the end point along specified directions or trajectories (line, circle, etc.) is possible. Used in manual control of manipulators and as a computational method for achieving programmed coordinate axis control in robots.

DEF

Numerical control in which a) each numerically controlled motion operates in accordance with instructions which specify both the next required position and the required feedrate to that position; b) the movements in the different axes of notion are not co-ordinated with each other; c) the movements in the different axes of motion take place only parallel to linear, circular or other machine ways.
