Gyroscope à suspension élastique compensée(gyroscope SEC). La toupie d’un tel gyroscope est reliée au boîtier de l'appareil par un joint de Hooke, composé d’un anneau intermédiaire et de deux barres de torsion encastrées à chacune de leurs extrémités; il s’agit donc d’une liaison 2 axes à faible débattement angulaire(de l'ordre du degré). [...] L'axe du moteur matérialise l'axe de zéro Z du gyroscope. Supposons que l'appareil soit placé dans les conditions suivantes : boîtier inertiel(sa rotation instantanée absolue est nulle) ;toupie en rotation [...] autour de son axe [delta], ce dernier restant sensiblement inertiel; ensemble parfaitement équilibré, sans interaction aérodynamique boîtier-toupie. Il se produit alors les deux phénomènes suivants : Rappel élastique de [delta] vers Z, sous l'action des barres de torsion encastrées : il s’agit là d’une raideur en phase tendant à faire précessionner [delta] autour de Z. Mouvement de dandinement de l'anneau intermédiaire [...] 1, record 1, French, - bo%C3%AEtier%20inertiel

A situation in which the freedom of molecules of adsorbate to move about the surface is limited. Adsorption is immobile when kT is small compared to [delta capitalized] E, the energy barrier separating adjacent sites. The adsorbate has little chance of migrating to neighbouring sites and such adsorption is necessarily localized. 1, record 2, English, - immobile%20adsorption

Une situation dans laquelle la liberté de mouvement des espèces adsorbées est limitée. L'adsorption est immobile lorsque kT est faible en comparaison de [delta majuscule] E, la barrière d’énergie qui sépare des sites adjacents. Les molécules adsorbées ont peu de chances de migrer vers des sites avoisinants et une telle adsorption est nécessairement limitée. 1, record 2, French, - adsorption%20immobile
