The arcs of circles method, which is constantly used for determining the position of a point or object at sea, is a new technique in so far as it is a method for delimiting the territorial sea. This technique was proposed by the United States delegation at the 1930 Conference for the codification of international law. Its purpose is to secure the application of the principle that the belt of territorial waters must follow the line of the coast.

La méthode des arcs de cercle, d’un usage constant pour fixer la position d’un point ou d’un objet en mer, est un procédé technique nouveau en tant que méthode de délimitation de la mer territoriale. Ce procédé a été proposé par la délégation des États-Unis à la Conférence de 1930 pour la codification du droit international. Son but est d’assurer l'application du principe que la ceinture des eaux territoriales doit suivre la ligne de la côte. Il n’ a rien de juridiquement obligatoire. C. I.

What is "cone of scent"? Odour particles always travel in the shape of a cone. A cone of scent is always concentrated and narrow at the source, and becomes wider and more diluted the further it travels. When a detector dog detects a substance that it has been trained to interdict, it uses the cone of scent to pinpoint the source of the odour. It starts by moving from one side to the other and back again in order to define the search area. Then, by moving up and down the cone, the dog can determine in which direction the odour becomes stronger. The dog can then follow the ever-narrowing cone of scent to its source. 1, record 7, English, - cone%20of%20scent

Qu'est-ce que le «cône de détection olfactive»? Les particules d’odeur se déplacent toujours sous forme de cône. Un cône de détection olfactive est toujours concentré et étroit à la source et il devient plus vaste et plus dilué lorsqu'il se déplace. Lorsqu'un chien détecte une substance qu'il a été dressé à repérer, il utilise le cône de détection olfactive pour trouver la source de l'odeur. Il commence à se déplacer d’un côté à l'autre et il revient afin de définir le secteur de recherche. Ensuite, en se déplaçant de haut en bas du cône, le chien est en mesure de déterminer dans quelle direction l'odeur devient plus prononcée. Il peut alors suivre le cône d’odeur jusqu'à sa source. 1, record 7, French, - c%C3%B4ne%20de%20d%C3%A9tection%20olfactive
