Researchers have also developed a device that automates the inspection of ready-to-eat mandarin segments. After being individually separated on a vibrating platform, the segments are transported on a conveyor belt to the inspection area, which can examine up to 28 segments per second. At this stage, the broken segments are separated from the whole segments... and the same goes for those with or without seeds. Skin and any other foreign bodies are also identified and eliminated from the production line. 2, record 1, English, - broken%20segment

Could you please describe what is meant by hoe "ditch requirement"?... Typically, ditch excavation across the Prairies, of course, is undertaken by a wheel ditcher, a large bucket wheel trencher that excavates the material on to a conveyor belt and moves it off to the side of the trench line. A hoe ditch is a backhoe--you know, a Cat 235, 245, that type of equipment--that you have to utilize to excavate a trench where you have a fairly severe bend, because these bucket wheel ditchers can only go in a straight line, essentially. 4, record 11, English, - wheel%20trencher

Le Zodiaque est une ceinture imaginaire sur la sphère céleste, s'étendant d'environ 8° de latitude de part et d'autre de l'écliptique et dans laquelle se situent les trajectoires du Soleil, de la Lune et des cinq planètes (Mercure, Vénus, Mars, Jupiter et Saturne) du système solaire sauf Pluton. Le zodiaque est partagé depuis l'Antiquité en 12 parties qui s'étendent chacune sur 30° de longitude, appelées «signes du zodiaque». En partant de l'équinoxe vernal et en progressant ensuite vers l'est le long de l'écliptique, chaque division porte le nom de la constellation avec laquelle elle coïncidait il y a environ 2 000 ans. Les noms des signes du zodiaque sont : Aries, le Bélier; Taurus, le Taureau; Gemini, les Gémeaux; Cancer, le Cancer; Leo, le Lion; Virgo, la Vierge; Libra, la Balance; Scorpio, le Scorpion; Sagittarius, le Sagittaire; Capricornus, le Capricorne; Aquarius, le Verseau et Pisces, les Poissons. 3, record 12, French, - zodiaque

There are different types of forming machines, each designed for specific types of raw material and end products capable of doing a variety of jobs within reason. With multi-opening presses, the former is stationary. There are some single-opening press line plants, however, where the forming machines must move. In these a single steel belt transits the former and press. Consequently, while the press is closed, the belt cannot move. In this case, the forming machine moves over the board area laying a mat down. Thus the forming is intermittent and not continuous. 3, record 22, English, - forming%20belt
