Abstract
Résumé : Le rapport décrit un essai sur le terrain d'un système central de contrôle du gonflement des pneus (CTI), installé sur les roues motrices d'un camion grumier travaillant en Colombie-Britannique intérieure. L'essai fut effectué en 1990 et 1991 par l'Institut canadien de recherches en génie forestier (FERIC) avec l'aide de plusieurs collaborateurs. Les objectifs visaient à démontrer à la communauté forestière canadienne les possibilités de la technologie des systèmes CT!, à éprouver la performance et la fiabilité d'un système de ce genre dans les conditions forestières de l'ouest du Canada, à mesurer les améliorations de traction offertes par un système CTI et à quantifier tout changement dans le comportement des pneus de roues motrices et dans l'entretien mécanique qui pourrait découler de l'utilisation d'un CTI.

Abstract
Since 1977, the Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC) has published 43 research papers on the recovery, utilization, and disposal of low-grade wood and wood waste. Current restrictions on uncontrolled open burning and landfilling, increased utilization lev- els, and reduced allowable annual cuts are forcing the forest industry to seek solutions to these problems. The following bibliography will inform FERIC members of the research which has been done and provide the back- ground for suggestions of new FERIC research in debris utilization technology. The material is broken into three categories: sortyard debris, low-value stands, and log- ging residue.

Abstract
At the end of 1991, a jointly conducted study was done to identify the main wood harvesting systems used, the environmental concerns that related to harvesting, the extent of current .knowledge on the environmental impacts of these systems, and areas of inadequate information.
Harvesting systems
Abstract
Devant la sensibilisation accrue du public au sujet de l'en- vironnement, toutes les industries, et plus particulièrement l'industrie forestière, subissent des pressions pour tenir compte de l'impact de leurs activités sur l'environnement. À la fin de 1991, les divisions de l'Est et de l’Ouest de FERIC ont mené une étude conjointe dans le but d'identi- fier les principales méthodes de récolte utilisées (et leur importance, par région), les préoccupations environnemen- tales liées à la récolte forestière, l'étendue des connaissan- ces actuelles sur l'impact des pratiques forestières sur l'environnement, et les points pour lesquels l'information était inadéquate. Un autre objectif consistait à préparer des recommandations en vue de recherches futures qui permet- traient de combler les lacunes dans les connaissances existantes. Les résultats de cette étude sont présentés dans le rapport de contrat de FERIC intitulé: «Harvesting systems and their environmental impacts: a summary of current knowledge and research needs» (1993). Le présent Communiqué technique est un sommaire de ce rapport que l'on peut se procurer en s'adressant à FERIC.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of mechanized tree-felling methods has increased significantly in the Interior of British Columbia. Usually felling heads are mounted on large and expensive excavator carriers. Although these machines do fall and bunch medium and large stems very efficiently, it is important to develop some low-cost, light-weight, felling heads that can be mounted on less-expensive carriers and used for harvesting low-volume small -diameter stands. A number of felling heads are on the market already, and they have been competing with the larger machines with varying degrees of success, feric observed a Canasaw sawhead mounted on a rubber- tired John Deere 743 feller-buncher.

Abstract
Last winter, a trade magazine advertised a portable device that could see, hear and speak, to effectively replace the pencils and forms used when collecting data. While the applications described generally resembled those achievable with a conventional data collection unit or a computer, the TALKMAN appeared unique because it provided complete personal interaction with the operator, much like a co-worker to whom the data would be dictated. Thereby, the operator is free to travel and work with his equipment without having to write notes or type data into a keyboard. In addition, the device is worn on a belt and thus can be protected and kept warm, and requires no attention since it lacks both keyboard and display. It is these features of autonomy and ruggedness that FERIC desired to evaluate in forest applications.

Abstract
L’hiver dernier, une annonce qui paraissait dans un magazine industriel prescntait un appareil portatif qui pouvait voir, entendre et parler pour remplacer effica- cement le crayon et les formulaires de tous ceux qui doivent prendre des notes rcpctitives. Bien que les applications citecs dtaient bien semblables a celles que 1’on peut effectuer avec un appareil de collecte de donnees conventionnel ou avec un ordina- teur, la particularity du TALKMAN est qu’il fonc- tionne en interaction complete avec 1’operateur, tout comme un compagnon a qui 1’on dicte les donnyes. Il laisse done toute liberty a 1’opyrateur de se dyplacer et d’utiliser ses outils habituels sans avoir a prendre de notes manuellement ou a taper les donnyes sur un clavier. De plus, 1’appareil se porte bien au chaud a la ceinture et ne requiert aucune attention puisqu’il ne possede ni clavier ni affichage. C’est done dans une perspective d’autonomie et de liability que nous avons voulu yvaluer le TALKMAN dans des applications en foret.

Abstract
The Target 92 is a shortwood processor head designed and built by brothers Gilles and Pierre Levesque, owners of Pennfield Logging Ltd, Pennfield, N.B. The processor was designed to handle the specific conditions typical of the mixedwood stands of the Acadian forest region: variable mix of softwood and hardwoods, large and abundant limbs, forked and deformed trees, and a wide range of tree sizes. A short, one-day study was conducted on a new unit oper- ated by Hutchinson Logging of Sussex, N.B. in April 1993.
Abstract
La Target 92 est une tête de façonnage de bois courts construite par les frères Gilles et Pierre Levesque, proprié- taires de Pennfield Logging Ltd, Pennfield, N.-B. Elle fut conçue en fonction des conditions particulières qui caracté- risent les peuplements mélangés de la région forestière acadienne: un mélange variable de résineux et de feuillus, de grosses branches abondantes, des arbres fourchus et difformes, et des arbres de dimensions variées. Une tête neuve, utilisée par Hutchinson Logging de Sussex, N.-B., fit l'objet d'une brève étude d'une journée en avril 1993.
