Abstract

En Suisse, comme dans le reste du monde, la popularité des gilets de sauvetage auto-gonflants est en hausse. Ces gilets sont composés de trois éléments principaux: la chambre à air, la bonbonne d'air comprimé, ainsi que le système de gonflage automatique. Très pratiques à l'utilisation, ils souffrent cependant d'un gros inconvénient : le système de déclenchement. En effet, celui-ci étant généralement basé sur un effet chimique, il est à usage unique et ne peut pas être régulièrement testé pour garantir son bon fonctionnement. Le but de ce projet est de développer un système de gonflage réutilisable ayant pour fonction de déterminer que le gilet se trouve dans l'eau et de permettre son gonflement instantané en toutes circonstances. L'étudiant portera une attention toute particulière au fait que le système doit offrir une fonction de test simple et non destructive. En plus du développement de la fonction de détection, l'étudiant devra s'intéresser aux moyens utilisables pour le déclenchement du gonflage.

Copula (linguistics)

In linguistics, a copula (plural: copulas or copulae; abbreviated ) is a word or phrase that links the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, such as the word is in the sentence "The sky is blue" or the phrase was not being in the sentence "It was not being co-operative." The word copula derives from the Latin noun for a "link" or "tie" that connects two different things. A copula is often a verb or a verb-like word, though this is not universally the case. A verb that is a copula is sometimes called a copulative or copular verb.
