The reverse thrust system provides means of decelerating aircraft during the landing roll, thus reducing landing roll length. The thrust reverser units are attached at the turbine outlet case of each engine. The clamshell door type thrust reverser provides reversal of thrust by blocking the engine exhaust gas and fan air flow and deflecting the gasses through openings made by repositioned defector doors or by fixed cascade vane openings depending on the type of reverser mechanism. Exhaust gases of the centre engine are deflected forward and out of the sides of the aft fuselage, and on strut mounted engines gases are deflected above and below the engine in a forward direction. 2, record 2, English, - reverse%20thrust%20system

On peut utiliser des membranes semi-perméables présentant une perméabilité sélective vis-à-vis des gaz rares. De très nombreux matériaux ont été étudiés. Citons en particulier des alliages d'argent-palladium, le verre, la silice, le caoutchouc siliconé, différents polymères (polyéthylène, polypropylène, mylar, etc.). On peut ainsi réaliser une cascade de barrières de diffusion fonctionnant suivant un principe analogue à celui utilisé pour l'enrichissement isotopique de l'uranium par diffusion gazeuse. Cette technique nécessite une bonne propreté des gaz à traiter et l'élimination préliminaire des vésicules ou poussières. 5, record 3, French, - barri%C3%A8re%20de%20diffusion

Engine Test Cells. Our PULSE platform is extensively used for R&D noise and vibration data acquisition and analysis in engine test cells. The performance and reliability of components such as fans, turbines and gearboxes can be tested using both traditional vibroacoustic test methods, and coldflow and cascade coldflow tests to evaluate their performance under aerodynamic loading. Test data can be viewed in real time and saved for post-processing. A safety system can be built into the test system. If PULSE monitors vibration levels above a predetermined level, a signal can be sent to the test cell PLC to shutdown the test and so avoid damage. 5, record 4, English, - engine%20test%20bed

[Steam and condensate system of a paper machine dryer. ] The condensate that forms in the dryer cylinders is removed by a specially-designed syphon assembly. On slow machines, the condensate collects in a puddle at the bottom of the cylinder; a stationary syphon angled into the puddle is often used on these machines. With increasing speed, the puddle begins to cascade; and finally a true rimming condition is reached where the condensate covers the entire inside surface due to centrifugal force. 1, record 6, English, - rimming%20condition

[Circuits de la vapeur vive et des condensats d'une sécherie de machine à papier.] On extrait les condensats grâce à un siphon d'un type particulier. Sur les machines à grande vitesse, il faut absolument éliminer les condensats le plus vite possible pour réduire au minimum l'épaisseur du film. Sur les machines lentes, les condensats forment une mare au fond du cylindre sécheur et un siphon fixe y est utilisé. Lorsque la vitesse de la machine augmente, un régime de transition s'établit; on atteint enfin le régime «anneau d'eau» lorsque la force centrifuge répartit uniformément le film de condensats sur le cylindre. 1, record 6, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20anneau%20d%27eau
