Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Cinematography
  • Simulation (Cybernetic Systems)
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Active shutter 3D systems can also be implemented to present 3D films in some theaters, and they can be used to present 3D images on CRT [cathode-ray tube], plasma, LCD [liquid crystal display], 3D images on HMD [head-mounted display] systems, VR [virtual reality] display systems, smartphones, game consoles, screens, displays, and combinations thereof.

CONT

… as more and more home viewing occurs on large-screen high resolution televisions and other display devices, movie theaters have sought to differentiate the movie theater experience from home viewing by offering three-dimensional films. As is well known, such technology works by encoding stereoscopic images in different colors, and using special 3D glasses with color filters to present different(offset) images to the left and right eyes. Such 3D films can create remarkable viewing experiences to theater-goers willing to wear special 3D glasses.

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology
  • Variety Shows and Circuses
CONT

Drag is a type of entertainment where people dress up and perform, often in highly stylized ways.

OBS

Today, many prominent drag artists are still people who identify as men and present themselves in exaggeratedly feminine ways as part of their performance, and are known as drag queens. While some drag queens live their lives as men outside of their drag personae, people of any gender can be drag queens. Drag kings, who wear men's clothing and perform stylized forms of masculinity, are less common, but do exist. Many drag kings are women, but people of any gender can be drag kings as well.

Fiche 3 2015-03-06

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
OBS

A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods.... This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength.

Fiche 5 2008-02-29

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
  • Search and Rescue (Paramilitary)
CONT

Rescue transceivers are an efficient method to locate victims, but two problems have limited the number of survivors who were wearing transceivers. First, few who wear transceivers are well practiced in using them instantly and efficiently to save a life; and second, even with a quick pinpointing of the burial location, extricating the victim from deeper burials may take too long to save a life.

CONT

An avalanche dog is trained to track a wide area of snow-covered space in a rapid zig-zag pattern, searching for pools of human scent that rise up above the snow. Once he or she has located the scent of humans, she sounds the alarm, typically a high-pitched, excited bark, and digs down to the victim, letting the ever-needed air in for the victim to breathe, until her handler gets to the burial location to assist with first aid.

Fiche 6 2005-02-15

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Technology - Equipment
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
DEF

Technology that combines sensors and remote control to detect production problems and solve them without costly well intervention.

CONT

... with advancements in material science, electronics, and data acquisition and processing, we have seen the use of sensors in oil well production turn in to what is now being referred to as "smart-well technology. "With sensors located downhole(below ground), above ground, in the storage tanks, and even on the pump motors to detect low frequency vibrations that can indicate potential wear, "smart" is exactly what these wells are becoming.... There are a variety of sensors currently used for downhole monitoring ranging from fiber optic to acoustic to quartz crystal sensors.

CONT

Representing a step-change in intelligent well control technology, the new multi-drop capability for hydraulic, downhole flow control valves supports the industry’s overall objectives. These include improving reservoir recovery, and removing complexity and operating capital for future interventions. They also include ... effective monitoring and control for production management.

OBS

Much has been ... written about intelligent well technology (IWT), but not everyone agrees as to what constitutes an intelligent well (IW). Some feel that merely the use of permanent downhole gauges (PDGs) that monitor and collect wellbore and/or reservoir data, constitutes an IW. Then there are others who believe that use of simple hydraulic-controlled, remote-operated, downhole-flow-control devices with only on/off position control but no downhole monitoring, should be considered an IW. A definition accepted .... among others, is that an IW installation is one that includes all of the following capabilities: Monitoring: The ability to monitor wellbore and/or reservoir characteristics in real time; Optimization: Analyze the data from monitoring, and pro-actively adjust flow regimes from multiple zones or laterals; Flow control: Utilization of remotely operated downhole-flow-control devices ... for adjustment of flow regimes.

OBS

The development of intelligent well technology began in the late 1980s. New downhole technology to better monitor and control production without intervention was seen as a solution to maximize the potential of aging reservoirs. Applications for permanent seismic sensing as a reservoir optimization tool grew out of conventional borehole seismic techniques that have been used for many years.

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
  • Lubrication Technology
OBS

A bearing is a relatively inexpensive replaceable wear surface, which reduces friction between rotating shafts and fixed housings. The intent is for bearings to protect more expensive parts, of an engine such as the crankshaft and camshaft as well as the engine block and connecting rods. In addition, bearings must also support the moving parts. This requires that bearings be capable of withstanding very high loads which are constantly changing in magnitude and direction. These are commonly referred to as cyclic loads which may eventually result in bearing lining fatigue or flaking if the bearing material does not have adequate fatigue strength.

DEF

The simplest of all weave interlacings in which the odd warps threads operate over one and under one weft thread throughout the fabric with the even warp threads reversing this order to under one, over one, throughout.

CONT

Surface finish ... there are two very popular surface finishes in demand, Plain Weave and Black Matte. Plain Weave is the common "checkerboard" finish that easily demonstrates the presence of graphite in the product ... Plain Weave fabrics that we use on our laminates very often have "tracers", or colored yams that allow manufacturers to verify that fiber position is correct in larger structures.

CONT

Woven fabrics are mostly of simple construction such as the plain weave... in simple construction there is only one set of warp yarns(the lengthwise yarn) and one set of weft yarns(the cross-wise yarn) making up the fabric, and all are equally responsible for the strength and appearance of the fabric. Patterns and effects are obtained by using various coloured yarns, different size yarns... The simplest of weaves is the plain weave. Each weft yarn passes alternately over and under each wrap yarn. They are reversible, unless printed or finished, are of firm construction and wear well.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Quality Control (Management)
CONT

One drawback of this approach is the problem of tolerance stack-up : when two or more parts are to be fit together, the size of their tolerances often determines how well they will match. Should one part fall at a lower limit of its specification, and a matching part at its upper limit, a tight fit is unlikely. Even if the parts are rated acceptable initially, the link between them is likely to wear more quickly than one made from parts whose dimensions have been centered more exactly.

Français

Domaine(s)
  • Contrôle de la qualité (Gestion)
CONT

L'un des inconvénients des cette méthode est le problème de l'accumulation des tolérances : lorsque deux pièces ou plus sont conçues pour être assemblées, l'importance de leurs tolérances détermine souvent la réussite de cet assemblage. Si l'une des pièces se situe à la limite inférieure de ses spécifications et celle avec laquelle elle doit s'accorder à la limite supérieure, il est probable qu'elles iront mal ensemble. Même si, au départ, ces pièces ont été jugées acceptables, leur jonction sera moins durable que celle de pièces dont les dimensions ont été calculées plus exactement.
