Power assist hybrids use the [combustion] engine for primary power, with a torque-boosting electric motor also connected to a largely conventional powertrain. The electric motor, mounted between the engine and transmission, is essentially a very large starter motor, which operates not only when the engine needs to be turned over, but also when the driver "steps on the gas" and requires extra power. 6, record 2, English, - mild%20hybrid%20vehicle

Mild hybrids and microhybrids are two types of "partial hybrids" (as opposed to "full hybrids"). When it comes to classifying hybrid vehicles according to their degree of hybridization, mild hybrids rank between microhybrids and full hybrids. 7, record 2, English, - mild%20hybrid%20vehicle

Dans un véhicule à hybridation légère [...], le moteur électrique, d’une puissance de 5 à 15 kW, est directement couplé au moteur thermique. En plus d’assurer le relais en mode «stop & start», il joue un rôle de «booster» pour le moteur thermique, lui apportant sa puissance en phase de reprise. Les deux moteurs délivrent alors conjointement leur puissance. 1, record 2, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20%C3%A0%20hybridation%20l%C3%A9g%C3%A8re

La mayoría de los diseños denominados "vehículo híbrido moderado" utilizan un embrague convencional, y por tanto una unidad de rodamientos para embragues. Ésta permite alternar la fuente de alimentación entre un motor eléctrico y un motor de combustión. 1, record 2, Spanish, - veh%C3%ADculo%20h%C3%ADbrido%20moderado

Híbrido moderado. Un diseño de vehículos eléctricos híbridos que usa el freno regenerativo y el parado pero no puede propulsar el vehículo en la función solamente eléctrica. Una propulsión de híbrido moderado opera típicamente a un voltaje menor de 50 voltios. 2, record 2, Spanish, - veh%C3%ADculo%20h%C3%ADbrido%20moderado

As with the angular momentum the torque, or twist, produced by applying a force to a gyroscope, can be represented by a directed line segment--the torque vector. Its direction also can be determined by the "rigth-hand" rule: when the fingers of the right hand are curve to point in the direction of the twist, the thumb points in the same direction as the torque vector. 3, record 3, English, - torque%20vector
