The Pinch Force Dynamometer (PFD) is a stowable hand held device capable of measuring instantaneous strength of the thumb and opposing finger or groupings of fingers as a function of time. The principle components of the PFD are a pinch force transducer, instrumentation amplifier, and associated cables. Dynamic voltage representing instantaneous finger(s) pinch strength as a function of time is taken from the output of the instrumentation amplifier and sent to a laptop computer or to a data acquisition system for data manipulation, display, correlation with other data sources, and/or storage. 2, record 2, English, - pinch%20force%20dynamometer

La mesure de la force d’un astronaute est l'un des paramètres fondamentaux utilisés pour évaluer ses performances physiques et l'effet de l'apesanteur pendant les missions spatiales prolongées. Sous contrat de l'Agence spatiale européenne, une société a développé un système pour mesurer la force de la main et celle du pouce, utilisé lors d’expériences embarquées. Le système se compose d’un dynamomètre de poigne de la main(HGD) et d’un dynamomètre de force de pincement(PFD) ainsi que d’une unité de connexion pour raccorder l'équipement à l'alimentation(28Vcc) et à un ordinateur. 1, record 2, French, - dynamom%C3%A8tre%20de%20force%20de%20pincement

The ratio of the applied excitation force phasor to the resulting velocity phasor with all other connection points of the system free, i.e. having zero restraining forces. Free impedance is the arithmetic reciprocal of a single element of the mobility matrix. 1, record 5, English, - free%20impedance
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Historically, often no distinction has been made between blocked impedance and free impedance. Caution should, therefore, be exercised in interpreting published data. While experimentally determined free impedances could be assembled into a matrix, this matrix would be quite different from the blocked impedance matrix, resulting from mathematical modelling of the structure and, therefore, would not conform to the requirements for using mechanical impedance in a overall theoretical analysis of the system. 1, record 5, English, - free%20impedance

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Par le passé, on a rarement fait la distinction entre impédance bloquée et impédance libre. Il faudrait donc faire attention lorsqu’on interprète les données publiées. Alors que les impédances libres déterminées expérimentalement pourraient être regroupées en une matrice, celle-ci serait tout à fait différente de la matrice d’impédance bloquée résultant de la modélisation mathématique de la structure et ne serait donc pas conforme aux exigences portant sur l’utilisation de l’impédance mécanique dans une analyse théorique globale du système. 1, record 5, French, - imp%C3%A9dance%20libre
