Swimming pool sanitationSwimming pool sanitation is the process of ensuring healthy conditions in swimming pools. Proper sanitation is needed to maintain the visual clarity of water and to prevent the transmission of infectious waterborne diseases. Two distinct and separate methods are employed in the sanitation of a swimming pool. The filtration system removes organic waste on a daily basis by using the sieve baskets inside the skimmer and circulation pump and the sand unit with a backwash facility for easy removal of organic waste from the water circulation.
Aquatic locomotionAquatic locomotion or swimming is biologically propelled motion through a liquid medium. The simplest propulsive systems are composed of cilia and flagella. Swimming has evolved a number of times in a range of organisms including arthropods, fish, molluscs, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Swimming evolved a number of times in unrelated lineages. Supposed jellyfish fossils occur in the Ediacaran, but the first free-swimming animals appear in the Early to Middle Cambrian.
Wearable computerA wearable computer, also known as a body-borne computer, is a computing device worn on the body. The definition of 'wearable computer' may be narrow or broad, extending to smartphones or even ordinary wristwatches. Wearables may be for general use, in which case they are just a particularly small example of mobile computing. Alternatively, they may be for specialized purposes such as fitness trackers. They may incorporate special sensors such as accelerometers, heart rate monitors, or on the more advanced side, electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitors.
Natation sportiveLa natation sportive consiste à parcourir dans une piscine, le plus rapidement possible et dans un style codifié par la Fédération internationale de natation (FINA), une distance donnée, sans l'aide d'aucun accessoire. La natation sportive peut être pratiquée à tout âge. Au-delà de l'âge de 25 ans les compétiteurs ont la possibilité de participer à des compétitions dites « maîtres », indépendantes de celles de la natation sportive.
Technologie portablethumb|Montres connectées Une technologie portable ou technologie mettable (de l'anglais wearable technology, appelée également habitronique) est un vêtement ou un accessoire comportant des éléments informatiques et électroniques avancés. Les technologies portables incluent notamment des textiles (chandails, gants, Hexoskin, maillots de bain connectés, pansements connectés), des lunettes (Google Glass), des montres connectées (Pebble Watch, Apple Watch) et des bijoux.
Bacterial motilityBacterial motility is the ability of bacteria to move independently using metabolic energy. Most motility mechanisms which evolved among bacteria also evolved in parallel among the archaea. Most rod-shaped bacteria can move using their own power, which allows colonization of new environments and discovery of new resources for survival. Bacterial movement depends not only on the characteristics of the medium, but also on the use of different appendages to propel. Swarming and swimming movements are both powered by rotating flagella.
PiscineUne piscine est un bassin artificiel, étanche, rempli d'eau et dont les dimensions permettent à un être humain de s'y plonger au moins partiellement. Une piscine se différencie d'une cuve ou d'une baignoire par ses équipements de filtration (pompe, filtre...). Il existe différents types de piscine dont les caractéristiques varient en fonction de leurs destinations (piscine privée, piscine privée à usage collectif, piscine publique) et de leur usage (piscine familiale, piscine de loisir, piscine thérapeutique, piscine d'entraînement sportif, piscine de plongée, aussi appelée « fosse à plongée ».
Wear OSWear OS (anciennement Android Wear) est une version du système d'exploitation mobile Android de Google spécialement conçue pour faire fonctionner les technologies portables. Son lancement est annoncé le par Sundar Pichai, en collaboration avec les constructeurs Asus, Broadcom, Fossil, HTC, Intel, LG, MediaTek, Imagination Technologies, Motorola, Qualcomm et Samsung. En parallèle, trois premiers modèles de montres intelligentes fonctionnant sur le nouveau système d'exploitation sont annoncés : la Moto 360, la Samsung Gear live et la LG G watch.
Fish locomotionFish locomotion is the various types of animal locomotion used by fish, principally by swimming. This is achieved in different groups of fish by a variety of mechanisms of propulsion, most often by wave-like lateral flexions of the fish's body and tail in the water, and in various specialised fish by motions of the fins.
Undulatory locomotionUndulatory locomotion is the type of motion characterized by wave-like movement patterns that act to propel an animal forward. Examples of this type of gait include crawling in snakes, or swimming in the lamprey. Although this is typically the type of gait utilized by limbless animals, some creatures with limbs, such as the salamander, forgo use of their legs in certain environments and exhibit undulatory locomotion. In robotics this movement strategy is studied in order to create novel robotic devices capable of traversing a variety of environments.
