Automatic driving mechanism Explanation: GDT génie mécanique 1 / 3 driving mechanism Syn. drive mechanism mécanisme d'entraînement n. m. Syn. dispositif d'entraînement Terme(s) apparenté(s) mécanisme moteur n. m. mécanisme de transmission n. m. mécanisme de commande n. m. dispositif de commande n. m. Déf. : Mécanisme assurant un mouvement. Note(s) : Les termes mécanisme d'entraînement, mécanisme de transmission et mécanisme de commande ne sont pas toujours interchangeables. Le premier désigne un mécanisme communiquant un mouvement; le deuxième, un mécanisme assurant la liaison entre un organe menant et un organe mené, généralement entre un producteur d'énergie (moteur) et un organe utilisateur (machine); le troisième, un mécanisme provoquant un mouvement. Dans le cas où le mécanisme fournit la puissance au début d'une chaîne cinématique, on peut employer mécanisme moteur au lieu du terme plus général mécanisme d'entraînement.

automated pilot bridge and controls Explanation: poste de commande, poste de commandement, passerelle de commandement = pilot brige, upper bridge, steering station, pilot house Is there a slight chance that your original could be meaning « pilote automatique » : « automatic helmsman », « automatic steering gear ». Perhaps not... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-08 08:18:06 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Oui, je ne pensais pas qu\'il s\'agissait d\'un pilote automatique, car vous parlez de l\'ensemble des contrôles, leviers, écrans, boutons, témoins etc. Toujours est-il que \"guiding\" ne fait pas très marin, mais \"steering\" s\'emploie courament dans ces contextes. Je vais modifier le glossaire en conséquence : \"automated steering station\", car \"steering station\" signifie \"poste de pilotage, et comprend l\'ensemble des contrôles.

automated control and monitoring (ships) Explanation: Just found this title in one of my dictionaries (Mouilleron – Dic Maritime Thématique anglais et français, ISBN 2-91 3596-00-2 ) : “ship automation – control and monitoring” (“automisation du navire – commande et contrôle »). This avoids addressing the problem of whether it’s steering, guiding or whatever. It is important to bear in mind that in context “contrôle” is part of the same term. Reading a common meaning of “contrôle” as “monitoring”, then “commandement” becomes “control”. This makes perfect sense to me. It is easy to imagine master and bridge team keeping an eye on what is going on this way and it seems perfect for your context. I shall be editing the glossary again! http://www.milparade.com/2000/38/05_02.shtml “An important event in the life of the Institute was the creation of the Ritm submarine machinery control system, which was the first of its class at that time. For the first time the submarine’s propulsion plant, power plant and other machinery were provided with automation systems and a central control and monitoring station was created on the basis of software-aided electronic facilities.” OK, so this is about submarines, but the vocab in this instance can be applied equally well to surface ships! www.saabsystems.com.au/resources/ShipControl.pdf The Saab Ship Control System meets this challenge through the provision of high levels of automation and the use of commercial components, where suitable. This proven and fielded integrated ship control, management and monitoring system is suitable for submarines as well as surface combatants and is highly adaptable for different types of ships and platform equipment. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-01-08 12:50:35 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Giving \"automated control and monitoring station\" for your term \"(dispositif) automatisé de commandement et contrôle\" |
