En géométrie, il existe trois types de paraboloïdes : hyperbolique, elliptique et celui de révolution, qui est obtenu par la rotation d’une parabole autour de son axe. Dans le domaine de l’optique, le miroir parabolique a la forme d’un paraboloïde de révolution. S’il s’agit de décrire la forme d’un miroir, l’emploi du terme paraboloïde sous-entend paraboloïde de révolution, soit de forme concave. (sphérique) 3, record 2, French, - parabolo%C3%AFde

Allumage électronique ou intermittent à comparer aux veilleuses continues. On utilise dans de nombreux foyers à gaz une veilleuse pour allumer le brûleur principal. La veilleuse elle-même peut consommer entre 600 et 1500 Btu de gaz par heure et si elle fonctionne continuellement, elle peut considérablement augmenter vos coûts annuels d’énergie [...] D'autres foyers utilisent un allumage automatique, par exemple électronique, ou un autre genre d’allumage intermittent qui élimine la nécessité d’une veilleuse continue en rallumant la combustion du gaz à chaque fois qu'on désire voir la flamme dans le foyer. Lorsque vous prévoyez acheter un foyer à gaz, préférez ceux qui n’ ont pas de veilleuse continuellement allumée. 2, record 15, French, - veilleuse%20%C3%A0%20allumage%20intermittent
