Mineur continu. En Amérique, les constructeurs ont mis au point pour les houillères des mineurs continus, lourdes abatteuses-chargeuses sur chenilles adaptées aux chantiers classiques de 5 à 9 m de large. Le principe général en est d’attaquer le front par des rotors garnis de pics, les fragments abattus étant ramenés sur un convoyeur central qui les évacue à l'arrière, où ils tombent dans l'engin de transport; la machine avance sur ses chenilles au fur et à mesure de l'abattage. 6, record 3, French, - machine%20d%27exploitation%20mini%C3%A8re%20en%20continu

... Canada's new radar satellite RADARSAT [is a] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensitive to variations in the salinity, surface roughness and surface wetness of ice. The type of imagery [generated by this satellite] is very useful to agencies such as the Ice Centre at Environment Canada, for locating, monitoring and evaluating the movement of sea ice on the eastern coast of Canada. The ability to determine ice type and monitor ice motion are extremely important to east coast ship navigation. 3, record 4, English, - ice%20reconnaissance

On utilise deux types de radars imageurs pour la reconnaissance des glaces. Le premier est le radar aéroporté à balayage latéral(RABL), un système à ouverture réelle. [...] Le deuxième type de radar imageur aéroporté est le radar à synthèse d’ouverture(SAR), qui forme les images par un procédé tout à fait différent. Il utilise une antenne assez courte pour donner un faisceau large. L'image est produite par des balayages successifs. Il évalue l'effet Doppler pour la surface balayée à mesure que l'aéronef avance. À mesure que le faisceau radar balaie la surface, les changements de position sont calculés et ces données servent à créer l'image. 3, record 4, French, - reconnaissance%20des%20glaces

By tradition, grain ships have been loaded using shipping spouts hung from high galleries on the jetty. Thus, the larger or broader the ship's beam, the higher the gallery. With the advent of even larger bulk carriers, it is becoming fashionable to load grain ships using jetty-mounted ship-loaders with loading booms reaching out over the ship's hold. These ship-loaders, when equipped with telescopic vertical discharge spouts, emit less grain dust since grain is discharged deep down in the hold. 1, record 6, English, - loading%20boom

Les bateaux à grain ont traditionnellement été chargés à l'aide de goulottes reliées à des appontements qui surplombent la jetée. Ainsi, plus le bateau est large, plus l'appontement doit être élevé. Avec l'apparition des vraquiers, cargos encore plus larges, on tend de plus en plus à utiliser des chargeurs de bateaux installés sur la jetée et munis d’une flèche de chargement qui s’avance au-dessus de la cale du bateau. Lorsqu'ils sont équipés d’une goulotte verticale télescopique, ces chargeurs de bateaux soulèvent moins de poussière de grain puisqu'ils pénètrent très profondément dans la cale. 1, record 6, French, - fl%C3%A8che%20de%20chargement
