agree  Tony M: Yes, except I would leave out '...signal de...', since strictly speaking the power output isn't really a 'signal'

agree  Tony M: Though I rather feel that Francis's 'alimentation' is perhaps more elegant? // Indeed! :-)

Tony, Of course, I don't solely rely on GDT or any other dictios. In this case, the context might not be the whole unit but part of it. See for yourself:From the power engineering labs of APC comes the M Type Power Conditioner with Battery Backup. Pure sine wave battery backup, surge protection, isolated noise filtering, and voltage regulation all combine in a single unit to deliver pure, uninterrupted power for high performance AV, home security, and automation systems.

Asker: Ce ne sont pas les batteries qui fournissent la sortie sinuso�dale pure mais bien le dispositif qui conditionne le courant qu'elles produisent

neutral  Tony M: Sure, Marc, of course I'm in total agreement with you. I just think it's very important to guard against sloppy or ambiguous language, and just because one user of GDT accepted the term in their context isn't a good reason to perpetrate it :-)
