DEF

Portion of agreement which relates to particular matter. (Black, 5th, p. 1318)

CONT

It is sometimes difficult to determine whether a statement is a representation inducing the other party to contract, or a term or stipulation of the contract. It is the terms which give content to the parties’ agreement, and questions of whether a contract has been performed or breached commonly depend on ascertainment and interpretation of the terms agreed. Terms may be express, stated in the contract, or imported by reference to some other document where they are set out in full, or implied into the contract, by common law, by custom and usage, by statute, and in some other ways.(Walker, p. 1211)

Le nom en soit dit tout : le cinéma silencieux [...] pour l'entourage. Car l'auditeur, lui, ne perd rien. Et, au contraire des autres marques, quand il branche un casque d'écoute, il n'est pas forcé de sacrifier les subtilités des encodages AC3 et DTS, profitant même, s'il le désire, de l'ajout des champs DSP (Digital Signal Processing) aux effets de cinéma, en quantités variant selon le modèle du récepteur.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prosthetic Dentistry
CONT

Resin impression tray material is a device intended for use in a two-step dental mold fabricating process. The device consists of a resin material, such as methyl methacrylate, and is used to form a custom impression tray for use in cases in which a preformed impression tray is not suitable, such as the fabrication of crowns, bridges, or full dentures. A preliminary plaster or stone model of the patient's teeth and gums is made. The resin impression tray material is applied to this preliminary study model to form a custom tray. This tray is then filled with impression material and inserted into the patient's mouth to make an impression, from which a final, more precise, model of the patient's mouth is cast.
