Input impedanceThe input impedance of an electrical network is the measure of the opposition to current (impedance), both static (resistance) and dynamic (reactance), into a load network that is external to the electrical source network. The input admittance (the reciprocal of impedance) is a measure of the load network's propensity to draw current. The source network is the portion of the network that transmits power, and the load network is the portion of the network that consumes power.
Phénomène lumineux transitoirevignette|upright=1.4|Les différentes formes de phénomènes lumineux éphémères. vignette|upright=1.4|Farfadet lors d'un orage, observé par la NASA. La couleur provient de la pression du diazote. Les phénomènes lumineux transitoires (Transient Luminous Event ou TLE en anglais), parfois appelés sprites en anglais ou farfadets en français, regroupent différents types de phénomènes lumineux visibles en haute atmosphère et accompagnant les orages.
Câble électrique à haute tensionUn câble électrique à haute tension est un câble utilisé pour le transport d'électricité, que ce soit en courant alternatif ou en courant continu. Il est composé de différentes parties assemblées de manière concentrique, les principales sont : au centre un conducteur permet de transporter l'électricité, ensuite vient une isolation électrique pour empêcher le courant de s'écouler vers la terre, le tout est entouré d'une gaine métallique afin de confiner le champ électrique à l'intérieur du câble et d'une protection extérieure qui assure de bonnes propriétés mécaniques et le protège des agressions extérieures.
Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
Business simulationBusiness simulation or corporate simulation is simulation used for business training, education or analysis. It can be scenario-based or numeric-based. Most business simulations are used for business acumen training and development. Learning objectives include: strategic thinking, decision making, problem solving, financial analysis, market analysis, operations, teamwork and leadership. The business gaming community seems lately to have adopted the term business simulation game instead of just gaming or just simulation.
Test utilisateurUn test utilisateur, ou test d’utilisabilité, est une méthode permettant d'évaluer un produit en le faisant tester par des utilisateurs. Le plus souvent, il s'agit de produits du domaine informatique (par exemple : un logiciel ou un site web) dans le cadre de l'intervention ergonomique. Elle est considérée comme une démarche indispensable dans la conception de produit, car la plus efficace pour évaluer l'ergonomie d'une application ou d'un site web.
Couplage croiséEn chimie organique, un couplage croisé est une réaction de couplage entre deux fragments moléculaires par formation d'une liaison carbone-carbone sous l'effet d'un catalyseur organométallique. Par exemple, un composé , où R est un fragment organique et M un métal du groupe principal, réagit avec un halogénure organique , où X est un halogène, pour former un produit . Les chimistes Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi et Akira Suzuki ont reçu le prix Nobel de chimie 2010 pour avoir développé des réactions de couplage catalysées au palladium.
Impedance bridgingIn audio engineering and sound recording, a high impedance bridging, voltage bridging, or simply bridging connection is one in which the load impedance is much larger than the source impedance. The load measures the source's voltage while minimally drawing current or affecting it. When the output of a device (consisting of the voltage source VS and output impedance ZS in illustration) is connected to the input of another device (the load impedance ZL in the illustration), these two impedances form a voltage divider: One can maximize the signal level VL by using a voltage source whose output impedance ZS is as small as possible and by using a receiving device whose input impedance ZL is as large as possible.
Training simulationIn business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.
Cable television headendA cable television headend is a master facility for receiving television signals for processing and distribution over a cable television system. A headend facility may be staffed or unstaffed and is typically surrounded by some type of security fencing. The building is typically sturdy and purpose-built to provide security, cooling, and easy access for the electronic equipment used to receive and re-transmit video over the local cable infrastructure. One can also find head ends in power-line communication (PLC) substations and Internet communications networks.
