Air-blast sprayers dispense pesticides into a high-velocity air stream. They are generally used for spraying orchards, large numbers of shade trees, and some vine and vegetable crops. Sprayers of this type have been used in some areas for spraying row crops such as potatoes, and to a limited extent for field spraying of chemicals other than herbicides. 3, record 1, English, - air%2Dblast%20sprayer

Les pulvérisateurs à jet porté émettent les antiparasitaires dans un courant d'air à grande vitesse. Ils sont généralement utilisés pour la pulvérisation des vergers, de beaucoup d'arbres d'ombrage et de certaines cultures légumières. On s'en est servi dans quelques régions pour la pulvérisation des cultures en rangs comme les pommes de terre et, jusqu'à un certain point, pour l'application dans le champ, de produits chimiques autres que les herbicides. 2, record 1, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur%20%C3%A0%20jet%20port%C3%A9

Because spray clouds from tower sprayers can be directed horizontally or inclined toward the tree canopy, spray deposition and coverage on targets are less variable from tower sprayers than conventional air-blast sprayers. That capability also minimizes the amount of sprays that are carried above target canopies. 2, record 2, English, - tower%20sprayer

En matière de pulvérisation, il est important de s’approcher le plus près possible de la cible à atteindre. Ce type de pulvérisateur permet d’entraîner les gouttelettes très près du feuillage en produisant un jet horizontal. Un bon ajustement du pulvérisateur et la fermeture des buses dont le jet pourrait passer au-dessus de la végétation permettent alors de contenir les gouttelettes dans la végétation. Plusieurs manufacturiers proposent une version de pulvérisateur de type tour. Certains designs permettent d’incliner la section supérieure de la tour vers le bas et ainsi de maintenir la pulvérisation dans le couvert végétal. L’utilisation d’un tel pulvérisateur permet une réduction de la dérive de 50 %. 2, record 2, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur%20de%20type%20tour

De dimension variable, les déflecteurs ressemblent à une palette de tôle. Ils sont placés de chaque côté du pulvérisateur axial, en haut de la fente de sortie d’air. Ils permettent d’orienter le jet d’air horizontalement et de mieux cibler le feuillage. Ils font habituellement partie intégrante du pulvérisateur au moment de l’achat mais peuvent être ajoutés facilement. 2, record 3, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur%20de%20type%20tour%20muni%20de%20d%C3%A9flecteurs

Bomb blast net curtains were invented by the British during World War II for reducing the glass hazard associated with explosion incidents. They consist of translucent Kevlar curtains that are longer and wider than the window and have weights at the bottom. The excess curtain length is placed into a box at the base of the window. When an explosion occurs, the curtains billow out, permitting the air-blast to pass through, but capturing a significant portion of the glass fragments. The British often augment this with 4 mil film coating with blast curtains to provide an effective glass hazard mitigation design for annealed glass windows. 3, record 4, English, - glass%20hazard%20mitigation

A tall iron cylinder lined with firebrick and packed inside with chequer brickwork. The hot gas from the blast furnace, which contains about 28% combustible constituents, together with sufficient air to burn it, passes through the stove until the brickwork is heated to redness. The gas and air are then diverted to a second stove, where the same thing is allowed to occur. Meanwhile the air-blast to the tuyères is passed through the hot brickwork of the firststove, until the brickwork has cooled. The air-blast is thus pre-heated to a temperature of from 700 °C to 800 °C. Cowper stoves work in pairs and are alternatively used to absorb and to emit heat. 3, record 6, English, - Cowper%20stove

Certains auteurs emploient indifféremment les termes : flocage et impression par flocage; les deux procédés sont un flocage. D'autres font une distinction entre les deux termes. Pour ces derniers, le flocage est d'obtenir un effet d'uni, le support est entièrement recouvert d'un adhésif et les flocs sont envoyés sur le support et sont maintenus par collage; on réalise ainsi des simili daim et des simili velours. Par contre, dans l'impression par flocage, on obtient un motif; pour cela, seules les parties devant former le dessin sont revêtues d'adhésif.
