When conducting studies and experiments, researchers pay attention to constants and variables to draw conclusions. Constants are the factors that do not change throughout the experiment, and variables are the factors that vary or have the potential to vary. While there are many different kinds of variables, the two most commonly discussed are the dependent and independent variables. … The dependent variable is the factor that receives the stimulus. Researchers measure dependent variables to explore the potential effects of the stimulus, because the aptly named dependent variable is dependent upon the stimulus to be changed. For example, in a study on the relationship between the length of a bicycle ride and the riders' heart rate, the dependent variable is the heart rate, which the length of the bicycle ride may affect. … The independent variable is the factor altered or varied to give various amounts of the stimulus. 3, record 5, English, - dependent%20variable

Il existe plusieurs grands principes : Muruta produit le Gyrostar, un prisme excité par piézo, utilisant la force de Coriolis qui donne trois vitesses angulaires. [...] Les autres fabricants utilisent des lames ou poutres vibrantes donnant des accélérations perpendiculaires aux plans de vibration. Un barreau vibrant lesté, est excité par un piézo, un deuxième piézo collé sur la face opposée de la lamelle recueille le signal de vibration. En cas d’accélération perpendiculaire au plan de la lame, la sinusoïde reçue est déformée, le mouvement étant accéléré dans le sens du déplacement, freiné dans l'autre. Les signaux excitation et réponse sont combinés dans un soustracteur, une manipulation donne un signal qui pilote un convertisseur à PWM(Pulse Width Modulation).

... detector [which] uses a light source that emits maximum light intensity at one or several discrete wavelengths that are isolated by appropriate optical filters. Its advantages are low cost, a minimum of noise, usually less than 0.00l absorbance unit, and sensitivity at the nanogram level for compounds that absorb at an available fixed wavelength. Its disadvantage is that there is no free choice of wavelength in many situations. 1, record 17, English, - fixed%2Dwavelength%20detector
