English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthodontics
CONT

Direct Bond Lingual Cleats. The twin raised arms of the cleat facilitate the use of cross elastics, and may be double tied if necessary. Wings may be flattened when not in use to promote patient comfort.

OBS

Lingual cleats can be purchased already welded to small metallic plates. In this case, they no longer need to be welded to bands; they can be bonded directly to crowns.

Subject field(s)
  • Masonry Practice
OBS

bond. To dispose in building, as the materials of a wall, so as to secure solidity.

OBS

bond. The union or tie of the several stones or bricks forming a wall. The bricks may be arranged for this purpose in several different ways, as in English or block bond, where one course consists of bricks with their ends toward the face of the wall, called headers, and the next course of bricks with their lengths parallel to the face of the wall, called stretchers; Flemish bond, where each course consists of headers and stretchers alternately, so laid as always to break joints; Cross bond, which differs from the English by the change of the second stretcher line so that its joints come in the middle of the first, and the same position of stretchers comes back every fifth line; Combined cross and English bond, where the inner part of the wall is laid in the one method, the outer in the other.

CONT

Consortium insurance is not a new program at Export and Development Corporation. Known previously as the Cross Consortium Insurance Program, the policy has been available, but largely unused, since 1978. In a round of consultations undertaken in early 1985, exporters revealed why they had not made use of the policy. Basically, they felt that EDC' s preoccupation with a consortium's recourseworthiness-or its ability to repay EDC in the event of a rightful call on a bond-meant that none but the strongest consortia had a chance to meet the criteria. In a major shift, EDC now places greater importance on the consortium's ability, as a whole, to perform the contract.

CONT

L'ancien programme était assorti d'une police qui existait depuis 1978, mais qui n'a guère été utilisée. Lors de consultations menées au début de 1985, les exportateurs ont révélé pourquoi ils ne se sont pas prévalus de cette police. De fait, ils croyaient que la SEE insistait tellement sur la possibilité d'exercer un recours contre le consortium en cas d'appel justifié d'une caution, que seuls les consortiums les plus solides répondraient aux critères d'admissibilité de cette assurance. C'est pourquoi la SEE a nettement réorienté son programme et accorde maintenant plus d'importance à la capacité de l'ensemble du consortium d'exécuter le contrat.

Subject field(s)
  • Nonwoven Textiles
DEF

Mechanically bonded by needling with barbed needles.

CONT

Nonwoven geotextiles are formed from filaments or fibers arranged at random and bonded together into a planar structure. The filaments or the fibers are first arranged into a loose web, then bonded together using one, or a combination, of the following processes: Chemical bonding .... Thermal bonding .... Mechanical bonding by needlepunching : thousands of small barbed needles, set into a board, are punched through the loose web and withdrawn, leaving filaments or fibers entangled. One thus obtains needlepunched nonwoven geotextile.

CONT

Mechanically bonded geotextiles are formed by deliberately entangling the filaments to form comparatively loose bonds where the filaments cross over. As the process used to achieve this mechanical bond is known as "needle-punching" these geotextiles may also be referred to as needle-punched geotextiles. Needle-punching involves repeatedly driving thousands of barbed needles into the loose sheet of polymer filaments.

CONT

Géotextile non-tissé aiguilleté: Géotextile non-tissé dont la cohésion est assurée mécaniquement par l'enchevêtrement de fibres ou fibrilles à l'aide d'aiguilles à barbes.

CONT

Non-tissés "voie fondue" liés mécaniquement. La longueur infinie des filaments constituant les non-tissés "voie fondue" est un avantage dont l'aiguilletage tire profit [...] Sur le plan mécanique, les caractéristiques du polymère seront mieux valorisées dans les non-tissés aiguilletés que dans des matériaux identiques liés chimiquement. Pour les géotextiles aiguilletés, une déformation imposée provoque dans un premier temps le glissement des liaisons; [...]

Non-tissés voie fondue liés "mécaniquement" [...] La longueur infinie des filaments constituant les non-tissés voie fondue est avantageuse, car la liaison mécanique au moyen d'aiguilles de forme particulière permet d'obtenir une cohésion plus grande de la nappe. Comparativement aux non-tissés à base de fibres courtes [...], la transmission des efforts dans le géotextile sera mieux répartie. Sur le plan mécanique, les caractéristiques du polymère seront mieux conservées dans les non-tissés aiguilletés que dans des matériaux identiques liés chimiquement. Pour les géotextiles aiguilletés, une déformation imposée provoque dans un premier temps le glissement des liaisons, entraînant une mise en tension progressive de celles-ci; [...]
