peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1light channel Explanation: I have never met this in a nuclear-related context but I have just found this expression for "canon à lumière" on a bilingual Canadian site (see below). It would seem to fit here as well. Reference: http://www.schreder.ca/en/products/item.aspx?c=3&p=24 |

peer agreement (net): +1(powerful/long-range) light projector Explanation: For a lack of a better term, this describes what it is Ref1 Canons à lumière : projecteurs fixes ou mouvants de longue portée, maintenant soumis à autorisation préalable du Préfet, voir la loi du 2 février 1995, article 53. Ref2: The standard light projector used by the Navy and Marine Corps is the ML-121 ceiling light projector, shown in figure 2-43.

3 hrs confidence:
light plug Explanation: Lowest confidence for the moment, this being based simply on the AFNOR/Framatome entry for : "canon" - "plug, cap", in particular, but also "canon d'essai" - "test point, test jack, test socket". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2009-01-12 17:38:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So much for that idea! It would indeed appear to be an inspection light - and that's probably what I would call it - assuming, that is, that your "canon" and their "canon" are one and the same thing. Le canon lumière est destiné à assurer un éclairage focalisé en eau sur un élément combustible. Le spot lumineux focalisé est motorisé en site et azimut. Disposé sur un bras articulé et mât flottant (interface livrée pour adaptation sur bras articulé et mât flottant existants), le corps du canon est totalement immergé , pour permettre son refroidissement. http://www.cyberia-company.fr/Files/canon_lumiere.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2009-01-12 20:03:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I note the Cyberia contrivance is specifically for "piscine BR". |

| Reference: References for "light channel" Reference information: "US Patent 5815254 - Transmittance and reflectance measuring spectrophotometer having dual use light channels" http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5815254.html "Study on Retrofitting Adhered Steel Panel with Light Channel Section" http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/200118/000020011801A07... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-01-12 15:28:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Light gun" is a different notion, related to computers and video games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_gun). A light gun serves as a pointing device for computers and/or a control device for arcade and video games. In Claire's case, a "light gun" serves to lighten the pool, therefore Sue's translation seems to be more appropriate. |
