DEF

[Brake] application operated at service rate that can be activated by one of the following safety devices of the locomotive: the overspeed control, the reset safety control (RSC) or the safety control foot valve.

CONT

A penalty brake application is similar to a full automatic brake application. However, this type of braking further reduces the brake pipe pressure to zero, requiring a moving train to stop and recharge the brake pipe. This type of braking occurs as a result of a “penalty” applied by the system, such as when the reset safety control(RSC) is not reset.

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

The neutron flux monitoring system consists of two startup channels, two control channels and four safety channels. Typically, the safety channels are provided to monitor the ex-core neutron flux over the range of source power to full power of the nuclear reactor. Two startup channels provide source level range neutron flux information to a reactor operator. Two control channels provide neutron flux information, in the power operating range, to the reactor regulating system during automatic turbine load-following operations.

CONT

To increase the power to 20% of the rated power to start the turbine generator system, the reflector is periodically lifted up at a speed of 1mm per 15 minutes in automatic mode. Periodic operation is needed to stabilize the system heat balance. At the same time, the pressure of the water steam separation tank is decreased to generate steam and to reduce the re-circulation flow. After this, the power is increased to full power by lifting up the reflectors and increasing the feed water flow.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

What makes automatic molding automatic is the mold. There are a number of requirements for automatic molding. The machine must be capable of consistent, repetitive action. The mold must clear itself automatically. This means that all the parts have to be ejected using a runnerless mold, or that the runner and the parts have to be ejected in a conventional mold. There may be some method for assisting in the removal of the pieces, usually in the form of a wiper mechanism, air blast, or robot. All machines used automatically must have a low-pressure closing system to prevent the machine from closing under full pressure if there is any obstruction between the dies. The machine shuts itself off and/or an alarm is sounded. Automatic molding does not necessarily eliminate the operator. Many times, an operator is present to pack the parts and perform secondary operations. Automatic molding gives a better quality piece and more rapid cycle. In automatic molding an experienced person usually attends several machines. Unless the powder feed and part removal are automated, this person takes care of those operations.

OBS

automatic mold: A mold for injection, compression, or transfer molding that repeatedly goes through the entire molding cycle, including ejection, without human assistance.

Titration detector. The visual or automatic titration methods of James and Martin provided techniques for the titration of chromatographically separated volatile monocarboxylic acids. In the presence of an indicator, the titration can be followed visually or automatically recorded. With the automatic titration buret, the separated acidic or basic components in the carrier gas pass directly into the titration cell. A suitable colorimetric indicator ... is used with a photoelectric relay to control the addition of titrant from a syringe-type dispensing buret, the plunger of which is coupled to a recording pen.

The immediate suspension of mandatory supervision for inmates considered dangerous.

OBS

The Corrections and Conditional Release Act now allows the detention of dangerous offenders.

CONT

At issue is a clause in 1986 legislation that permits authorities to deny the automatic release that most convicts earn after serving two-thirds of their sentences. Prison officials used a practice known as gating-intercepting convicts as they left the prison gate and returning them to serve their full sentences-if they were considered especially dangerous. After the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the practice was illegal, the government amended the law to permit such detention by other means. But the vague definition written into the law allowed continued gating only if the prisoner was judged to be both a danger to society and to have caused his victim severe harm.
