La commande par mode de glissement est une technique de contrôle non linéaire présentant des propriétés remarquables en termes de précision, de robustesse, de réglage et de mise en œuvre facile. Fondamentalement, cette technique utilise une loi de contrôle à rétroaction discontinue afin de forcer l'état du système à atteindre, puis à rester sur une surface particulière de l'espace d’état, nommée surface de glissement ou de commutation. 2, record 1, French, - commande%20par%20mode%20de%20glissement

The boron-lined compensated ionization chamber is a differential chamber [i.e. connected in electrical opposition] formed by three electrodes which define two elementary chambers. The first elementary chamber is located between the positive high voltage polarization electrode and the signal electrode which collects the charges developed by ionization in the gas. The surfaces of the electrodes of this elementary chamber are covered with a boron lining. This elementary chamber is therefore sensitive to neutrons and to gamma rays. The second elementary chamber is located between the signal electrode and the compensation electrode which receives a negative polarization voltage. As this elementary chamber has no boron lining, it is sensitive to gamma rays only. 1, record 7, English, - differential%20chamber

Le principe d’un détecteur gazeux est de faire circuler dans une chambre d’ionisation l'air à analyser. Les ions formés par chaque désintégration radioactive à l'intérieur de la chambre d’ionisation sont collectés sur l'anode, ce qui génère un courant directement fonction du nombre de particules incidentes. La mesure de ce courant, après mise en forme et réglage du gain par étalonnage, permet de restituer l'activité volumique de l'air(en Bq [becquerels]/m³). Pour compenser l'influence du rayonnement gamma ambiant, une seconde chambre, identique mais fermée, est montée en opposition électrique, d’où l'appellation chambres différentielles. Plus le volume de la chambre est important, meilleure est la précision de mesure(les chambres différentielles ont ainsi un volume allant de quelques litres à plusieurs dizaines de litres). 1, record 7, French, - chambre%20diff%C3%A9rentielle

With a part-time/full-time system, users expect to employ four-wheel drive on the highway. But accepted practice held that a planetary or bevel gear differential was needed to prevent generation of wind-up torques on a dry road. Designs without mechanical differentials have long been known to cause particular problems during tight turns and parallel parking, when wheels on one side of the vehicle travel a different distance than wheels on the other side. Forcing all four wheels to operate in synchronization during such maneuvers causes drive-line wind-up. 1, record 12, English, - planetary%20gear%20differential
