Tech/Engineering - Patents / General term in a technical text
French term or phrase: mode de mise en œuvre
"Selon un mode de mise en œuvre de l'invention, l'étape de positionnement consiste à centrer le cadre avant sur l'axe de rotation de l’élément de support..."

WIPO Patent WO 2014/001685 A1, p. 7, §2, L. 15 (http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/WO2014001685)

This term happens to appear a number of times throughout the text.

I have thoroughly searched the internet, and the two best translations I get for it are "mode of implementation" and "embodiment". Is there any other translation that is "suitable" for patents?

Thanks everyone!!!

P.S.: I have chosen not to use the translation "embodiment" because it has already been used in the same text for another term which is obviously "mode de réalisation".

method of implementing the invention
Explanation:
I would use method instead of mode: "According to one method of implementing the invention...". Lots of google hits.

Much closer to the standard patent terminology.
However, I am still reluctant towards mhcd's answer because it seems to come from credible source...
