Pidgin, английский
A form of communication consisting of words and phrases from the languages of two people without a common tongue and often quite different from either. hence, the forms of pidgin-english spoken in china, west africa, and new guinea, are completely different from each other, and all are essentially unintelligible to english-speakers.
Photonics mast, английский
A device similar in concept to a submarine periscope, that provides many benefits a periscope is unable to offer. it replaces line-of-sight viewing with equipment, similar to a digital camera, mounted on telescoping arms that are contained entirely within the sail without penetrating the pressure hull. the hull opening for cables is much smaller and more easily sealed, minimizing the risk of water leakage. moreover, being connected by flexible cables instead of rigid tubes, the control room need not be placed directly below the sail, but can be moved to a lower deck away from the hull’s curvature where there is more space. sailors throughout the boat can view color, highresolution black and white, or infrared images, on flatpanel displays; and these images can be shared with other ships in the theater, or with command centers ashore. however, photonic masts can not operate at the depths possible for floating fiber optic scanners.
