Voici la dernière réalisation de NHK, l'établissement public de télévision japonaise [...] C'est un écran couleur mural à plasma, expérimental, donnant une image de 41 X 49 cm, épais de 6 mm seulement. Ce type d’écran est constitué d’une multitude de microcapsules de verre contenant un gaz rare, du xénon, et des luminophores. Lorsqu'une décharge électrique se produit entre deux électrodes placées à l'intérieur de ces microcapsules, il se crée une émission de lumière ultraviolette qui vient activer les luminophores. Toute la difficulté provient du nombre de microcapsules à mettre en œuvre, puisque chacune forme un point de l'image. Des connexions électriques sont nécessaires pour relier chaque capsule à un ordinateur, lequel gère la distribution des impulsions électriques vers chacune de ces microcapsules [...] Qui plus est, le modèle présenté par NHK étant en couleur, 3 microcapsules(une par couleur primaire : rouge, vert et bleu) sont nécessaires pour former un point. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cran%20mural%20%C3%A0%20plasma

Toute trace d’oxygène doit être proscrite et on utilise le plus souvent un gaz rare(comme Ar [argon] ou Kr [krypton] ou Xe [xénon]) pour augmenter l'efficacité s’il s’agit de détecter des photons. Pour la détection des neutrons, on utilise d’autres gaz moins classiques.

L'Ar étant un gaz rare, il diffuse facilement dans les minéraux, et le système a tendance à se rouvrir en particulier par diffusion en bordure des minéraux. Pour s’affranchir de ce problème, on effectue en général au cours de l'analyse un chauffage par paliers. Le gaz libéré est analysé à chaque palier, et un âge est calculé pour chaque fraction. Si le système ne s’est ouvert qu'en bordure de grain, les âges obtenus sur les premiers paliers seront «jeunes», mais les derniers paliers donneront tous le même âge appelé «âge plateau». 3, record 4, French, - %C3%A2ge%20plateau

noble: In chemical terminology this term describes an element which either is completely unreactive or reacts only to a limited extent with other elements. Six noble gases constitute a group in the Periodic Table that is variously called the zero group (as the first three of its members have a valence of zero), the inert gas group, and the noble gas group. The last is preferable, as three of the gases, through unreactive, are not inert. 3, record 11, English, - noble%20gas
