In a grand piano, the shorter inner rim and taller outer rim glued around it form the main body of the cabinet. The inner rim, whose bottom edge and inside surface are visible from under the piano, has the soundboard and pinblock attached to its top edge. The outer rim extends several inches farther and upward and, with the lid, provides an enclosure for the plate and strings. 1, record 1, English, - inner%20rim

[One of the] two concentric, toroid (or donut-shaped) regions of stably trapped charged particles [mostly protons] that exist because the geomagnetic field near the Earth is strong and field lines are closed. 1, record 2, English, - inner%20Van%20Allen%20radiation%20belt

The Inner Belt has a maximum proton density near 5,000 km above the Earth's surface, and contains mostly high energy protons produced by cosmic ray collisions with the Earth's upper atmosphere. 1, record 2, English, - inner%20Van%20Allen%20radiation%20belt

A small but very intense "inner belt" (some call it "The Van Allen Belt" because it was discovered in 1958 by James Van Allen of the University of Iowa) is trapped within 4000 miles or so of the Earth's surface. It consists mainly of high-energy protons (10-50 MeV) and is a by-product of the cosmic radiation, a thin drizzle of very fast protons and nuclei which apparently fill all our galaxy. 3, record 2, English, - inner%20Van%20Allen%20radiation%20belt

La Terre est entourée de deux zones dans lesquelles le rayonnement est particulièrement intense : la «ceinture intérieure», ou «ceinture de Van Allen», et la «ceinture extérieure». Ces zones sont dues à une sorte de capture des radiations cosmiques par le champ magnétique terrestre [...] 2, record 2, French, - ceinture%20de%20Van%20Allen%20int%C3%A9rieure

On a découvert deux ceintures de radiation principales ou ceintures de Van Allen. La ceinture inférieure est composée de protons d'une énergie d'environ 108eV et d'électrons d'une énergie de 20 à 500 KeV. Elle commence à 2 400 et finit à 5 600 km de la Terre et repose entre les latitudes [plus ou moins] 30°. 5, record 2, French, - ceinture%20de%20Van%20Allen%20int%C3%A9rieure
