Chez l'adulte en bonne santé, le bilan d'énergie cumulé sur une semaine est maintenu en équilibre grâce à des mécanismes régulateurs qui permettent de disposer des réserves à peu près constantes (homéostasie énergétique). Le poids et la composition corporelle sont donc relativement stables autour d'une certaine valeur dite «valeur de consigne» ou «set point». Différents facteurs peuvent modifier cette valeur, tels que les caractéristiques génétiques individuelles et chez un individu donné, l'âge, le statut hormonal, l'environnement, les contraintes psychologiques ou sociales.  1, fiche 1, Français, - valeur%20de%20consigne

The room thermostat is placed so that it measures temperature(controlled variable) in the room air(controlled medium), and operates a valve which regulates the flow(manipulated variable) of the steam(control agent) through the heating coil. Heat from the coil is thus furnished to the room air.  1, fiche 2, Anglais, - controlled%20variable

Variable cycle is not simply a question of varying the by-pass ratio. The key achievement would be to control the power, speed and temperature of an engine independently and the most difficult element is to modify turbine operation, perhaps with controllable turbine guide vanes.  1, fiche 7, Anglais, - variable%20cycle

Le cycle variable quant à lui, ne se limite pas simplement à faire varier le taux de dilution. L'objectif véritable est de commander séparément la puissance, la vitesse de rotation et la température de fonctionnement d'un moteur, et la difficulté essentielle est d'agir sur le fonctionnement de la turbine.  1, fiche 7, Français, - cycle%20variable
