Pendulum clocks are powered by mechanisms that trigger the pendulum to swing with a constant period. Traditionally, weight or spring mechanisms fulfill this purpose, but some clocks use electricity to power the pendulum. 1, record 1, English, - pendulum%20clock

Le problème du pendule est qu'il finit par s’amortir à cause des frottements avec l'air : l'amplitude de ses oscillations diminue jusqu'à devenir indétectable. Pour y remédier, il faudrait relancer le pendule à chaque battement pour qu'il conserve une amplitude constante. Pour automatiser le processus, Christian Huygens a suggéré de relier le pendule à un poids par le biais d’un système d’engrenages. À chaque battement, l'oscillation libère un cliquet qui permet au poids de descendre d’une hauteur donnée. En descendant, le poids tire sur le pendule un peu à la manière d’un opérateur qui lui donnerait un coup de pouce à chaque oscillation. Ce mécanisme permet d’entretenir l'oscillation : c'est le principe de l'horloge à pendule. 3, record 1, French, - horloge%20%C3%A0%20pendule

Bariatric surgery, which is also known as weight-loss surgery, aids weight loss and reduces the risks of obesity-related diseases. The surgery falls into two categories: Malabsorptive weight-loss surgery, and restrictive weight-loss surgery. Malabsorptive weight-loss surgery limits the amount of nutrients your body absorbs, while restrictive weight-loss surgery restricts the amount of food you can consume. 5, record 2, English, - bariatric%20surgery
