Pressure distribution is measured using pressure mapping devices and specialized computer software. By placing a sensor filled mat between the user and the wheelchair seat cushion, a clinician can analyze pressure distribution, contact area, peak pressure and other related characteristics. Pressure maps typically are shown as a graphical display showing pressure, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), at each sensor point. 2, record 1, English, - pressure%20mapping

The pressure mapping system Xsensor is a new electronic tactile force and pressure-indicating sensor. It allows an engineer to monitor precisely how force is dispersed between any two contacting or mating surfaces in real-time while the event occurs. 3, record 1, English, - pressure%20mapping

The aircraft used [for aerial photo] are equipped with pressure gauges as well as drift and bank compensators, but a modification of the flight level following changes in atmospheric pressure (particularly when flying over mountainous regions) often requires somewhat delicate corrections, which, in the case of mapping missions, may alter the theoretical scale chosen and create problems when preparing maps. 1, record 2, English, - bank%20compensator

Les avions utilisés sont dotés d’indicateurs de pression, de correcteurs d’inclinaison et de dérive, mais la modification du niveau de vol à la suite de variations de la pression atmosphérique(en particulier lors du survol de régions montagneuses) entraîne des corrections quelquefois délicates, qui dans le cas de missions de cartographie, risquent de changer l'échelle théorique choisie et de créer des problèmes au moment de la préparation des cartes. 1, record 2, French, - correcteur%20d%27inclinaison
