A circular disc fixed on a revolving shaft, some distance out of centre, working freely in a ring (the eccentric strap), which is attached to a rod called an eccentric rod, by means of which the rotating motion of the shaft is converted into a backward-and-forward motion. 2, record 2, English, - eccentric
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Because an eccentric can be attached anywhere along a shaft it is unnecessary to form any part of the shaft into a crank. Eccentrics are seldom used to transmit large forces because friction loss would be high; they are commonly used to drive the valve gears of engines. 3, record 2, English, - eccentric

The Personality Disorders have been grouped into three clusters. The first cluster, referred to as cluster A, includes Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal Personality Disorders. People with these disorders often appear odd or eccentric. Cluster B includes Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. People with these disorders often appear dramatic, emotional, or erratic. Cluster C includes Avoidant, Dependent, Obsessive Compulsive, and Passive Aggressive Personality Disorders. People with these disorders often appear anxious or fearful. Finally, there is a residual category, Personal Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, that can be used for other specific Personality Disorders or for mixed conditions that do not qualify as many of the specific Personality Disorders described in [the DSM-III-R] manual. 1, record 4, English, - eccentric

Les divers Troubles de la personnalité ont été classés en trois groupes. Le premier, appelé groupe A, inclut les Personnalités paranoïaques, schizoïdes et schizotypiques. Les sujets ayant ces troubles apparaissent souvent bizarres ou originaux. Le groupe B inclut les Personnalités antisociales, limites (borderline), histrioniques et narcissiques. Ces sujets manifestent souvent une dramatisation, une émotivité ou des conduites excentriques. Le groupe C inclut les personnalités évitantes, dépendantes, obsessionnelles-compulsives, et passives-agressives. Les individus présentant ces troubles apparaissent souvent comme anxieux ou craintifs. Il existe enfin une catégorie résiduelle, les Troubles de la personnalité non spécifiés, susceptible d'être utilisée pour d'autres Troubles spécifiques de la personnalité ou pour des tableaux mixtes ne faisant pas partie des Troubles spécifiques de la personnalité décrits dans [le manuel DSM-III-R]. 1, record 4, French, - original
