SoudageLe soudage est un procédé d'assemblage permanent qui assure la continuité de la matière à assembler ; la soudure est le résultat obtenu (mais le terme est souvent utilisé pour le procédé). Cette continuité est ce qui distingue le soudage d'autres techniques d'assemblage mécaniques (rivetage, boulonnage, ...) ou par adhésion (collage), ainsi que les techniques de brasage L'opération peut être appliquée aux métaux ainsi qu'aux matières thermoplastiques (voir Soudage de plastiques) et au bois (voir Soudage du bois).
AnalyticsAnalytics is the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics. It is used for the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in data. It also entails applying data patterns toward effective decision-making. It can be valuable in areas rich with recorded information; analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming, and operations research to quantify performance. Organizations may apply analytics to business data to describe, predict, and improve business performance.
Fiber-optic cableA fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable is used. Different types of cable are used for optical communication in different applications, for example long-distance telecommunication or providing a high-speed data connection between different parts of a building.
