Simple vacuum-packaging machines, suited to less developed regions, are available. They consist of a chamber with a removable lid, so that the plastic pouch or bag containing the product can be placed inside the chamber, which is evacuated with an electrically driven vacuum pump. By closing the lid, air can be drawn out of the chamber and also out of the open bag. While still in the vacuum chamber, the bag is hermetically closed by heat sealing by means of a manual or automatic electrically heated sealing device. 1, record 1, English, - vacuum%20chamber

Une chambre à vide (appelée également enceinte ou cloche à vide) est une enceinte rigide dans laquelle l'air et d'autres gaz sont en grande partie éliminés par une pompe à vide. L'environnement qui en résulte est vulgairement appelé «vide» en raison de sa pression extrêmement faible bien qu'elle ne soit pas réellement vide. De nombreuses applications y sont possibles comme la recherche expérimentale, le test de matériel conçu pour aller dans l'espace ou des processus de production industrielle. 2, record 1, French, - chambre%20%C3%A0%20vide

The B-747 has four hydraulic systems. Systems 4, 1 and 2 are used for providing pressure to the brake system. Each system is pressurized by an engine driven pump(EDP) and an air driven pump(ADP) which move due to the air circulating in the pneumatic system. Therefore, when the APU is working and providing pressurized air to the pneumatic systems, ADP's may provide pressure to the hydraulic systems. ADP number 1 is used to provide hydraulic pressure to the body landing gear steering function, to assist steering during pushback turns. 2, record 4, English, - air%2Ddriven%20pump

Exhausting includes the removal of air from the filled can and the establishment of conditions whereby the finished canned product will show a substantial degree of vacuum. This can be done by heating the filled can in steam or hot water for several minutes so that the air is driven out and the temperature of the contents is raised considerably. It can also be accomplished by a vacuum closing machine where the air is sucked out by a pump and the lid is sealed on while the suction is being maintained. 2, record 9, English, - exhausting

Horizontal Rotary Cup Oil Burners. This type of burner atomizes the oil by spinning it in a thin film from a horizontal rotating cup and injecting high velocity primary air into the oil film through an annular nozzle which surrounds the rim of the atomizing cup. This atomizing cup and frequently the primary air fan are mounted on a horizontal main shaft which is motor driven and rotates at constant speed, 58 to 100 r/s depending on the size and make of burner. The oil is fed to the atomizing cup at controlled rates from an oil pump which is usually driven from the main shaft through a worm and gear. 2, record 10, English, - horizontal%20rotating%20cup
