Les sonars latéraux procurent des images acoustiques des fonds océaniques. Installé sur un engin remorqué près du fond, ce type de sonar émet, en incidence très rasante, une impulsion brève en haute fréquence(le plus souvent de 100 à 400 kHz) qui court sur le fond dans un faisceau transversal très étroit; le signal renvoyé en fonction du temps et de la réflectivité locale reproduit alors les détails des irrégularités, obstacles et changements de nature sédimentaire, avec une résolution de quelques centimètres. 1, record 1, French, - signal%20renvoy%C3%A9

Bait cars are left in auto-theft target areas. When someone enters a car, an automatic system videotapes the thieves and notifies E-Comm [Emergency Communications Southwest BC]. E-Comm begins to track the position of the car using a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system. A police unit is sent to investigate. Once the police have visual contact with the car, they instruct E-Comm to remotely disable the car's engine. The offenders are taken into custody. 1, record 2, English, - bait%20car

[Il s’agit de] véhicules volés retrouvés [qui] sont placées à différents endroits reconnus pour être des zones à haute fréquence de vols. Elles sont munies d’un système de repérage constant de type GPS [...] qui se déclenche à la moindre manœuvre ou au moindre déplacement. Les gestionnaires du système peuvent suivre les déplacements du véhicule et le localiser précisément en tout temps. Ces informations seront acheminées aux policiers, qui se rendront sur les lieux. Une fois les policiers sur place, les gestionnaires du système mettront le véhicule en panne de façon à permettre aux forces de l'ordre de procéder à l'arrestation des voleurs. 1, record 2, French, - voiture%2Dapp%C3%A2t

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Frequency-response functions are properties of linear dynamic systems which do not depend on the type of excitation function. Excitation can be harmonic, random, or transient functions of time. The test results obtained with one type of excitation can thus be used for predicting the response of the system to any other type of excitation. 1, record 5, English, - frequency%2Dresponse%20function

Les fonctions de réponse en fréquence sont des propriétés des systèmes dynamiques linéaires qui ne dépendent pas du type de fonction d’excitation. L'excitation peut être une fonction du temps harmonique, aléatoire ou transitoire. Les résultats d’essai obtenus avec un type d’excitation peuvent donc être utilisés pour prévoir la réponse du système à tout autre type d’excitation. 1, record 5, French, - fonction%20de%20r%C3%A9ponse%20en%20fr%C3%A9quence
