English

Subject field(s)
  • Tools and Equipment (Textile Industries)
  • Clothes Cleaning and Dyeing Services
CONT

In the air-jet dyeing machine, the circulating high-speed air is the main driving force for pulling and driving the rope-like fabric. The air circulation system is mainly composed of high-pressure centrifugal fan, air duct, air filter duct and air nozzle system.

Key term(s)

Record 2 2017-04-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Synthetic Fabrics
  • Technical Textiles
CONT

The cost efficient production of sandwich materials and parts has been the main driving force behind these developments. Textile production technology(i. e. carpet weaving) as well as packaging production processes(i. e. corrugated cardboard or air bubble foil) have been exploited, and adapted for composite sandwich material production.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
  • Textiles techniques
CONT

Sandwichs : Matériaux composés de deux semelles (ou peaux) de grande rigidité et de faible épaisseur enveloppant une âme (ou cœur) de forte épaisseur et faible résistance. L'ensemble forme une structure d'une grande légèreté. Le matériau sandwich possède une grande légèreté en flexion et c'est un excellent isolant thermique.

OBS

Pluriel : des sandwichs; des sandwiches.

OBS

sandwichs (pl.) : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2006).

Record 3 2014-01-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Braking Devices (Mechanical Components)
CONT

Disc brakes stay much cleaner than drum brakes. A disc brake is partly shrouded by the wheel, but it is largely exposed to circulating air. Dust and dirt created by pad wear and accumulated through normal driving are thrown off by the centrifugal force of the spinning rotor. Some brake dust accumulates inside the wheel and partially on the caliper. Proper and safe cleaning of brake assemblies and components is as important for disc brakes as for drum brakes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
  • Freins (Composants mécaniques)
CONT

Lors des nettoyages normaux de votre voiture, les roues sont uniquement nettoyées de l’extérieur et d’éventuelles usures de la jante ou du pneu sont omises. De plus, la poussière de freinage, qui est nocive pour l’aluminium, doit également être enlevée régulièrement.

Record 4 2012-01-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • The Nose (Medicine)
DEF

A dimensionless term which indicates how readily a material can be smelled; it is the ratio of the driving force to introduce the material into the air to the ability of the material to create a recognized response.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie analytique
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Nez (Médecine)
DEF

Indice indiquant le nombre de fois où une concentration originale d'échantillon a pu être réduite de moitié par l'ajout d'eau sans odeur jusqu'à l'obtention d'un seuil d'à peine perceptibilité. [Méthode décrite dans la norme ASTM D1292.]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química analítica
  • Estudios y análisis del medio ambiente
  • Nariz (Medicina)
DEF

Es el método de pruebas de la Sociedad Americana de Pruebas y Materiales (American Society for Testing and Materials), es el número de veces que un odorante puede diluirse en un factor del orden 2 para alcanzar una concentración umbral.

Record 5 1988-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Meteorology
CONT

Between the source and sink of a pollutant in the atmosphere dispersion and transport occur simultaneously. Dispersion is caused by turbulent eddies which develop in air that is thermally unstable or that is subjected to a strong wind shear. Transport is controlled by air circulations whose driving force may be local, regional or global in extent.

  • Pollution de l'air
