Extract System ... To ensure efficiency of the fume cupboards and to create a safe, noise tolerant environment for the operator it is necessary to design a well constructed and fail-safe extraction system which incorporated quiet yet powerful fans ...

The pagula ventilated ceiling system forms an important part of a total balanced mechanical ventilation system. It is particularly suitable for ventilating rooms with high steam and latent heat Generation, such as kitchens. The design of the pagula system ensures that draught free whole room ventilation is provided with efficient grease and moisture separation on the extract to keep the ceiling plenum and extract system clean. The pagula system is a complete integrated false ceiling providing air inlet grilles, air exhaust passages with grease and moisture separation, and a ventilated lighting system. 4, record 1, English, - extract%20system

The Working Group on Trade and Competition under NAFTA Article 1504("WG") is required to report to the NAFTA Commission on issues concerning the relationship between competition law and policy and trade in the free trade area no later than December 31, 1998, and to make recommendations on further work as appropriate. In this interim report, the WG describes its work accomplished to date and its workplan for the remainder of its five year mandate. The WG has undertaken its mandate via the generation of papers which address trade and competition issues in terms of :(i) setting out the contextual framework of the discussion,(ii) the comparison of competition laws, and(iii) specific issues relevant to trade and competition. The studies undertaken to date identify similarities and differences between the competition laws and policies of the three NAFTA Parties, and consider which, if any, of these differences may have implications for trade among the three contracting parties. 3, record 3, English, - Working%20Group%20on%20Trade%20and%20Competition

Le groupe de travail sur le commerce et la concurrence établi en vertu de l'article 1504 (le «GT«) est tenu de faire rapport à la Commission de l'ALENA des questions concernant les rapports entre les lois et politiques en matière de concurrence et le commerce dans la zone de libre-échange au plus tard le 31 décembre 1998 et de formuler les recommandations sur les travaux supplémentaires qui pourront être appropriés. Dans le présent rapport, le GT fait état des travaux effectués à ce jour et de son plan de travail pour le reste de son mandat de cinq ans. Le GT a entrepris son mandat en produisant des études sur le commerce et la concurrence qui ont pour objet (i) de définir le cadre contextuel de la discussion, (ii) de comparer les lois sur la concurrence et (iii) d'examiner des aspects spécifiques du commerce et de la concurrence. Les études entreprises jusqu'ici identifient les similitudes et les différences entre les lois et les politiques sur la concurrence des trois Parties à l'ALENA et examinent si les différences recensées ont des incidences sur les échanges commerciaux entre les trois Parties. 3, record 3, French, - Groupe%20de%20travail%20sur%20le%20commerce%20et%20la%20concurrence

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The term antistatic refers to a condition where static generation is inhibited during contact and separation with a different material. In general, antistatic carpet is any carpet product that will generate less static electricity than standard carpet. [It] is not conductive and it is not possible to ground anti-static carpet [which] usually contains bi-component yarns. The reason for specifying antistatic carpet is to establish a space that will be free of static shocks, or zaps. Most new antistatic carpet will prevent shocks as long as the relative humidity(RH) is above 25%. Antistatic carpet should not be confused with conductive or ESD [electrostatic discharge] carpet. Antistatic is not a permanent property. 1, record 4, English, - antistatic%20carpet

Constant depth linear cutting(CDLC) provides a long-term solution to excessive dust generation from shearers and continuous mining machines through a new design of the rotary drum cutting system.... The CDLC concept is designed to cut a full face by using an eccentrically mounted triangular shaped drum. In addition to breaking to a free face with no secondary fragmentation, the CDLC will have a bit velocity well below the minimums needed for phase shifts in the bit metals or for methane ignition. 1, record 5, English, - constant%20depth%20linear%20cutting

The gel entrapment method involves entrapping of the enzymes within the interstitial spaces of crosslinked water insoluble polymer gels.... The usual method of gel formation is to polymerize acrylamide in an aqueous solution of the soluble enzyme and a crosslinking agent such as N, N-methylenebis(acrylamide). The resulting gel block can be mechanically dispersed into particles of desired size. The broad distribution of pore size of the gel inevitably results in leakage of the entrapped enzyme even after prolonged washing whilst the generation of free radicals in the course of the reaction may affect the activity of the entrapped enzymes. 1, record 6, English, - gel%20entrapment

Les enzymes sont en général immobilisées soit par fixation covalente sur un support membranaire, soit par utilisation d'un agent de pontage qui provoque la réticulation des molécules de protéine active ou la coréticulation de l'enzyme avec une protéine inerte. Les techniques d'inclusion dans un gel ou de confinement d'enzymes en solution sont progressivement remplacées pas les méthodes chimiques d'immobilisation. Les capteurs sont le plus souvent de type électrochimique. 1, record 6, French, - inclusion%20dans%20un%20gel
