General field: Tech/Engineering
Detailed field: Electronics / Elect Eng | Source text - English
XXX motion control drive uses common industrial drive technology and is a cost effective solution for precision positioning and synchronization. Intelligent integrated motion control functions and versatile controllability eliminate the need for an external motion controller even in the most demanding applications, such as in material handling, packaging, printing and plastics forming.
The motion control drive provides accurate positioning, synchronization, DTC performance and high cyclic overloadability in one package for asynchronous motors.
| Translation - French
Le module variateur XXX utilise une technologie d'entrainement industriel éprouvée et représente une solution économique pour le positionnement et la synchronisation de précision. Grâce à ses fonctions intégrées intelligentes et à sa polyvalence, aucun contrôleur de mouvement externe n'est nécessaire même pour les applications les plus exigeantes, comme la manutention, l'emballage et le conditionnement, l'impression et la plasturgie.
Le module variateur intègre en un seul appareil la régulation de position, la synchronisation, les performances de la technique DTC (Contrôle Direct de Couple) et une capacité de surcharge cyclique élevée pour les moteurs asynchrones.
| English to French: Depth composition
General field: Tech/Engineering
Detailed field: Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) | Source text - English
With the ability to obtain infinite depth of focus, observation time has been significantly reduced, even for targets that have irregular surfaces. High quality depth composition employs the hybrid YYY method, which was perfected in the development of the XXX Series Microscopes. This microscope easily produces high quality composite images. A completely in-focus composite image is created by bringing the highest parts of the target into focus and moving down to the lowest parts, then compiling the images from these different height intervals | Translation - French
La possibilité d'obtenir une profondeur de netteté infinie a permis de réduire considérablement la durée d'observation, même pour des cibles à surface irrégulière. La composition en profondeur de haute qualité utilise la méthode hybride YYY, qui a été améliorée lors du développement des microscopes de la série XXX. Ce microscope permet d'obtenir facilement des images composites de haute qualité. Une image composite entièrement nette est créée en effectuant la mise au point sur les parties les plus hautes de la cible puis en descendant par étapes vers les parties les plus basses, et enfin en compilant ces images obtenues à des hauteurs différentes | English to French: Hot water boiler
General field: Tech/Engineering
Detailed field: Energy / Power Generation | Source text - English
Shell-Type hot water boilers: This boiler is used for heating buildings and structures and can be installed inside boiler rooms. It works on liquid fuel or natural gas. The heat exchange in this three-pass boiler takes place in the furnace tube by way of thermal radiation resulting from combustion of fuel and in the fire tubes of the primary and secondary loops through convection of the combustion product. | Translation - French
Chaudière à bouilleur à eau chaude : cette chaudière est utilisée pour le chauffage des bâtiments et des constructions, et peut être installée dans le local à chaudière. Elle fonctionne avec un combustible liquide ou du gaz naturel. Dans cette chaudière à triple parcours, l'échange de chaleur se fait par rayonnement thermique dans le tube-foyer (combustion du carburant) et par convection dans les conduites de fumées des boucles primaire et secondaire (circulation des produits de combustion). | English to French: Greenwash
General field: Science
Detailed field: Environment & Ecology | Source text - English
Greenwash (a combination of ‘green’ and ‘whitewash’) is a term used to describe the practice of companies spinning their products and policies as environmentally friendly. This challenges the core consumer right to be informed and raises doubt over issues of trust, responsibility and accountability.
Together with our member organisations we fully support the genuine efforts of corporations to go green and seek out sustainable alternatives to carbon intensive business practices. We are, however, highly critical of any attempt to overstate the impact of such green initiatives in an attempt to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
| Translation - French
L'écoblanchiment (en anglais « greenwash », une combinaison de « green » [vert, écologique] et de « whitewash » [blanchir]) est un terme utilisé pour décrire les pratiques des entreprises qui font passer leurs produits et leur politique pour respectueux de l'environnement. Ceci représente une attaque du droit fondamental à l'information des consommateurs et remet en cause les questions de confiance, de responsabilité et de responsabilisation.
Avec nos organisations membres, nous soutenons entièrement les efforts véritables des entreprises pour devenir plus respectueuses de l'environnement et rechercher des alternatives durables aux pratiques commerciales à forte empreinte carbone. Nous sommes toutefois très critiques de toute tentative de surévaluation de l'impact de ces initiatives vertes par le biais d'un appel à la conscience environnementale des consommateurs.
