La drépanocytose est une maladie systémique hématologique induisant la survenue d'événements vaso-occlusifs de divers organes cibles. Sur le plan oculaire, l'atteinte rétinienne se caractérise par des occlusions préférentiellement artérielles et de la vascularisation terminale, pouvant se compliquer de néovascularisation périphérique. Longtemps ignorée, la maculopathie drépanocytaire est désormais bien caractérisée grâce à l'imagerie multimodale[. Une] étude de cas suggère que la maculopathie drépanocytaire, caractérisée par des amincissements rétiniens focaux, proviendrait d'une ischémie du plexus capillaire rétinien profond, à l'origine d'une atrophie tissulaire séquellaire. 2, record 1, French, - maculopathie%20dr%C3%A9panocytaire

Highspeed, Highpressure Sewer and Pipe Cleaning. The vehicle is positioned at the manhole with hose reel above opening. A special high-pressure hose, fitted with a hardened steel jet nozzle, is introduced into the sewer. Water pressure up to 2000 lbs. psi drives the hose up the sewer against the flow. A center hole in the nozzle breaks up accumulation in front of the hose to allow for easy passage. When the hose is withdrawn, the water jets flush the sewer clean. Light materials are flushed down the line and heavy materials are deposited in the manhole for easy removal with the sanitary Hydro-Vac.

La presse à piston, celle décrite dans le principe, est la plus ancienne. La matière fondue est poussée du pot d'injection au moule par un piston (analogie avec le moulage des alliages légers sous pression). L'avantage principal réside dans la simplicité de la machine mais la matière, pour un diamètre de fût important, reste insuffisamment plastifiée puisqu'il existe un gradient de température entre l'axe et la paroi du fût. 1, record 12, French, - presse%20%C3%A0%20piston

For shallow channels, curved bar screens with bars formed as segments of a circle and installed concave to the direction of the flow are available. The rakes revolve slowly around a horizontal shaft located in the center axis of the curvature of the screen.

Principe général des débitmètres-masses. Tout mouvement d'un fluide ne se conçoit que par la consommation partielle de l'énergie qui lui est propre. Ainsi a-t-on eu l 'idée, depuis longtemps, de prélever une fraction de cette énergie pour en déduire le débit.

Impulse Trap. Under normal loads the discharge from this trap is intermittent. When the load is heavy, however, the discharge is continuous. This type of trap may be used on any equipment where the pressure at the trap outlet does not exceed 25% of the inlet pressure. 3, record 19, English, - impulse%20trap
Record number: 19, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The impulse steam trap operates on the principle that hot water under pressure tends to flash into vapor when the pressure is reduced. When hot water is flowing to the trap the pressure in the control chamber is reduced, causing the valve to rise from its seal and discharge the water. As steam enters the trap, the pressure in the chamber increases, causing the valve to close, thus reducing the flow of steam to that which can pass through the small center orifice in the valve. 2, record 19, English, - impulse%20trap
