English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Special-Language Phraseology
OBS

Differential adjustment: An aircraft has its wing defined as a wing-like body with a tangential flow rotor in the leading edge. A shroud, under the lower part of the tangential flow rotor, terminates in at least one movable flap defining a lift-generating lip when the rotor is rotating such that the upper part of the rotor, projecting above the level of the upper surface of the wing-like body, is moving rearwardly. Differential adjustment of the flaps in the wings to either side of an aircraft centerline allows directional control and control of banking of the aircraft.

PHR

Differentially adjust the camber of the wing, the intensity of drop-lights, the lift-producing device, the pitch of the wing.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Scientific Research Equipment
DEF

A mass spectroscope in which a slit moves across the paths of particles with various masses, and an electrical detector behind it records the intensity distribution of masses

CONT

In order to measure the characteristics of individual molecules, a mass spectrometer converts them to ions so that they can be moved about and manipulated by external electric and magnetic fields.

OBS

"Mass spectrograph" and "mass spectroscope" are sometimes used as synonyms of "mass spectrometer". "Mass spectrometer" and "mass spectrograph" differ only in the way in which the charged particles are detected: electrically in the case of the spectrometer and by photographic or non-electrical means in the case of the spectrograph. As for "mass spectroscope" it is a generic.
