  • Pest Control Equipment

CONT

Large-volume jet agitator nozzles with siphon caps should be used in tanks of greater capacity than 100 gallons(455 litres). With nozzles of this type the liquid is projected in a solid stream through the center of the siphon cap. The siphoning action draws in liquid and creates strong swirling currents to agitate the liquid in the [spray] tank.

CONT

Les buses d'agitation à grand débit à siphon doivent être utilisées dans les grands réservoirs à capacité de plus de 100 gallons (455 litres). Les buses de ce genre permettent de projeter un jet bâton (jet plein) à travers la tête du siphon. Le siphonnement aspire le liquide et crée de forts courants tourbillonnaires qui agitent le liquide dans le réservoir [du pulvérisateur].

English

Subject field(s)
  • Armour
CONT

The hand firing lever and rod is the simple mechanical hand method for firing the weapon when the electric solenoid is not working, typically used only as a backup firing mechanism. If you look closely, you will see that the firing rod is attached to the center pin of the electric firing solenoid, so using either one will actuate the firing lever and set off the percussion cap inside the shell when the gun is loaded and fired.

Record 7 1999-10-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
DEF

A device used in thermal spraying which directs the air pattern for purposes of atomization.

CONT

... a spray gun includes a fluid adjustment which controls the fluid valve, a spreader adjustment valve, an air-valve assembly, an air cap, a fluid inlet, and an air inlet. The balance among air pressure, airflow, fluid pressure, and fluid flow is controlled by adjusting the valves concerned to provide the desired spray quality and pattern. Air flowing through the center area of the air cap and through holes near the center mixes with fluid from the fluid tip and produces an atomized spray. Air flowing from the openings in the horns of the air cap impinges on each side of the fluid spray to produce an elongated spray pattern. This pattern may be adjusted for a wide or narrow area by changing the setting of the spreader adjustment valve. The pattern can be made vertical or horizontal by turning the air cap.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

Une soupape à ressort, actionnée par appui sur la détente du pistolet [pulvérisateur], commande le débit. A partir de la source d'air comprimé, l'air entre dans le pistolet par l'orifice d'admission d'air situé au bas de la poignée du pistolet. Il traverse le corps du pistolet et est projeté dans les petits trous d'une bague déflectrice placée à l'arrière de la tête qui entoure la buse de pulvérisation. L'alimentation en air se règle par une autre soupape à ressort, située également au-dessous de la détente. ... [Une soupape, montée à l'arrière du corps du pistolet,] modifie le réglage d'une ouverture à l'intérieur du pistolet, qui règle le débit d'air traversant une seconde série de trous de l'anneau déflecteur et se dirigeant vers des orifices situés dans les deux "bossages" de la tête. Ces bossages envoient des jets d'air convergents dans le courant pulvérisé.

Subject field(s)
  • Glaciology
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

A debris-laden surface or zone along the margin of an ice sheet or ice cap, dipping in toward the center of the ice sheet but becoming parallel to the bed at the base.

OBS

The name originated because it was thought that such zones were formed by shearing at the boundary between stagnant ice and active ice. This has been disputed and it has been suggested later that shear moraines form through the refreezing of meltwater at the base of a glacier.

  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
DEF

A special type of tamper-indicating metal vacuum cap with an embossed button in its center that pops up when it is opened.

CONT

A popular TE option for food products packaged in glass containers under vacuum is the "button-top closure". These include lug versions used for jellies, sauces, and juices, and the threaded-seal version popular with the baby-food industry. A safety button, or coin-sized embossment on the top of the cap, pops-up as the jar is opened and its vacuum is lost. Accompanying this is the "pop" which serves as audible evidence of an undisrupted seal. When capped the embossed button is held down by vacuum pressure, providing the consumer with visual evidence that the container has not been opened.
