Overflows... have been designed for delicate knitted and woven fabrics made of natural and synthetic fibres. They are also found in the carpet sector. The main difference between jet and overflow machines remains in the fact that in jet machines the fabric is transported by the bath flowing at high speed through the nozzle, while with overflows the fabric is transported by the gravitational force of the liquor overflow. A winch(usually not motor driven) is located in the upper part of the machine and the fabric hangs over it. A longer length of textile hangs from the exit side of the winch than from the inlet side. Gravitational forces pull the longer length of textile downward more strongly than the shorter. The fabric is therefore soaked in the bath without any tension(transportation is very gentle). 1, record 6, English, - overflow%20machine

Les machines overflow [...] ont été conçues pour les tricots et les tissus délicats, à base de fibres naturelles et synthétiques. On les utilise également dans le secteur du tapis. La différence principale entre les machines de type jet et overflow est que dans les premières, l'étoffe est transportée par le bain entraîné à haute vitesse à travers la tuyère, alors que dans les machines overflow, ce transport est assuré par le débordement du bain. Une tournette (généralement non entraînée par un moteur) est disposée dans la partie supérieure de la machine, sur laquelle l'étoffe est placée en porte à faux, en ce sens que le poids de la matière textile est plus grand à la sortie de la tournette qu'à l'entrée. Du fait de la pesanteur, l'étoffe est immergée dans le bain sans subir la moindre tension (le transport se fait tout en douceur). 1, record 6, French, - machine%20overflow

The nanomotor has a positioning stroke up to some centimeters while operating with atomic resolution and thus builds a bridge over eight orders of magnitude. The nanomotor is a piezo driven linear motor consisting of a cylindrical housing and a slider with a free axial hole inside. It utilizes a piezo tube for fine positioning and a pulse wave produced by the same piezo tube for coarse movements. Every point of its stroke can be reached with a speed of up to 5 mm/s. In its free axial hole the nanomotor can transport a tip, a hose, an electrode, a hypodermic needle, a glass fiber or even a microgripper. The nanomotor is available in three different versions. The "small" nanomotor is half the size of a match stick. It can lift six times of its own mass. The dynamic force of this nanomotor is so high, that even imprints in diamond surfaces can be produced. Special versions of the nanomotor can operate in ultra high vacuum, in liquid helium, even under water or as non-magnetic drives. 3, record 7, English, - nanomotor

The 60DLi easily interfaces with most disk drives. Connecting directly to the disk drive motor, the unit measures the current necessary to achieve breakaway.

The exploration department at Cogema Resources... recognized the technical difficulties and expense encountered in drilling deep vertical holes. The solution was a technique called navigational drilling(or Navi-drilling) that was used in the oil industry and, less often, in mining.... Simply put, navi-drilling allows operators to begin drilling a new hole 500 to 600 metres below the surface by using a pre-existing "pilot hole. "This significantly reduces costs as the same hole is used for up to six navi-drilling holes. A steerable motor with a rotor system turns a cutting bit. The motor is powered by hydraulic force created by the mixture of water and drilling muds pumped inside the drill string. The fluid is pumped through the motor and returns to the surface at a rate of up to 250 litres per minute.

Newbergh Industries Limited ("Newbergh") has developed and patented a technology which will greatly enhance the steering currently being used in oil and gas field directional drilling. This technology, which is known under the acronym of "HANDS", which stands for Hydraulic Activated Navigational Drilling System, will be incorporated in a so-called benthousing, which will make this piece of equipment remote adjustable whilst drilling for the first time. Its implication will improve drilling performance in terms of speed as well as quality and will result in considerable cost savings for the oil companies and savings in energy to drill the bore holes. 6, record 11, English, - navigational%20drilling

Notre société a construit plus de 1200 traversées par la méthode brevetée du Forage Horizontal Dirigé, dans toutes les parties du monde. [...] À ses débuts, le forage directionnel horizontal se limitait aux sols alluvionnaires tels que sable, limon et argile. Finalement, à la demande de ses clients, ses applications se sont étendues aux terrains rocheux. [...] Une autre application attractive du forage directionnel est l'installation de nombreux pipelines sur un parcours de forage commun. L'avantage principal des faisceaux de pipelines est la possibilité pour le client de limiter la quantité de droits de passage en dessous d'une voie d'eau ou d'un autre obstacle. HDI a fixé le standard pour des faisceaux de pipelines grâce à des installations dans le monde entier plus nombreuses que celles réalisés par les autres entreprises de forage directionnel. Les principales réalisations d'installations de faisceaux comprennent l'installation d'un faisceau de douze pipelines de 150 mm de diamètre sous la rivière Peene en Allemagne et de quatre pipelines de 300 mm de diamètre au-dessous du Mississippi aux États Unis. 3, record 11, French, - forage%20multibranche

Two-degree-of-freedom, dry, tuned-gimbal gyroscope. This name is used to differentiate between this instrument and the floated gyro... In the static condition as the rotor is moved up and down, the motion is accommodated by the flexure pivots associated with the gimbal. This motion is resisted by the spring force of the flexure pivots. As the motor is brought up to velocity, a speed is reached at which the gimbal-flexure pivot combination is in resonance. At resonance no force about the sensitive axes(x, y) can be transmitted between the motor shaft and the rotor; hence, the two are decoupled. 2, record 15, English, - flexure%20pivot

It has interfaces to the US Lab or Columbus Laboratory. Sensors, direct drive motor, battery and electronics are housed in the "Main Box". Chair and human adapters provide the subject restraints. The Microgravity Isolation Frame, to which the Main Box attaches, minimises disturbances to other payloads. MARES uses the Human Research Facility portable computer(HRF PC) for interacting with the subject/operator. MARES is capable of acquiring data, controlling and providing power to external devices(HRF PC, PEMS, EMG amplifiers, etc.), and transfers real time data to the rack mounted Workstation for downlink.

The rotating-vane-type viscosity measuring element depends upon the drag on a rotating member in contact with the material whose viscosity is to be measured. The vane or rotating element is driven by a synchronous electrical motor. The torque required to rotate the member of the vane is measured and is proportional to the viscosity in contact with the rotating element. The synchronous motor drives the cage at a constant speed. The upper spindle arm is coupled to the cage through a calibrated beryllium-copper spring. During measurement, the spring is wound up until its force exactly equals the viscous drag on the spindle; then the cage and spindle continue to operate at the same speed, but with a definite angular relationship to each other proportional to the torque on the spring. 4, record 17, English, - rotating%20spindle%20apparatus%20for%20measuring%20viscosity
