Record 1 2026-03-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pleasure Boating and Yachting
CONT

... the solution — off-throttle steering — is now taken for granted by most PWC [personal watercraft] consumers. Many may not even realize their craft have the capability for good reason. The inclusion of OTS into most craft is relatively seamless. The system works by detecting two coinciding occurrences, the abrupt release of the throttle and a full turn to port or starboard. Electronic sensors note the two situations, and respond by increasing RPM [revolutions per minute] just enough to once again push some water through the jet nozzle. That small blast of propulsion is just enough to start the craft turning in the direction the driver has turned the handlebars, hopefully allowing the craft to begin an evasive maneuver and avoid the object in the craft's path.

Domaine(s)
  • Yachting et navigation de plaisance
CONT

Cette motomarine possède aussi un correcteur d'assiette rapidement accessible sur le guidon et ajustable selon les préférences du conducteur, les conditions de navigation et le nombre de passagers (jusqu'à 3). À cela s'ajoute un système de direction assistée par accélération d'appoint qui améliore la maniabilité à basse vitesse.

Record 2 2004-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Slaughterhouses
CONT

Currently we supply a breast top portion to our latest processing facility in West Edmonton. This facility is primarily a deboning plant. It will process well over a quarter a million breast taps per week. Due to the high capital investment of deboning equipment, water jet cutters, etc., it is of the utmost importance that the plant receives a grade "A" breast top(two wings, no bruises, full skin).

OBS

For chicken, pork and beef.

Record 3 2003-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Space Physics
CONT

Recently two new types of lightning have been verified : red sprites and blue jets. These atmospheric discharges occur very high in the Earth's atmosphere-much higher than the familiar form of lightning. Blue jets appear blue in color and go from the tops of clouds to a height of about 50 kilometers. Because blue jets typically last almost a full second, one can easily see the jet rise from the clouds with a fast video camera. Blue jets appear as narrow cones and travel about 100 kilometers per second. The existence of blue jets has been suggested previously, but only in 1994 were aircraft flown above massive thunderstorms with the high speed video equipment necessary to verify these spectacular events.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Physique spatiale
OBS

Phénomène atmosphérique encore méconnu. Flashes fugaces rougeoyants,farfadets rouges ou bleutés qui prennent naissance, lors de puissants orages, au sommet des cumulo-nimbus, et se projettent en quelques millisecondes jusqu'à des altitudes pouvant atteindre 95 kilomètres. Ces éclairs s'accompagnent de phénomènes électromagnétiques intenses, notamment des bouffées de rayonnement gamma.

Record 4 2002-12-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

A programme of work performed on an existing well which has either ceased to produce or is not producing economically.

CONT

Workover operations may involve re-evaluation of the producing formation, clearing sand from the producing zones, jet lifting, replacing downhole equipment, deepening the well, acidizing or fracturing, or improving the drive mechanism. A full workover job calls for the removal and replacement of tubing.

CONT

Examples of workover operations are deepening, plugging back, pulling and resetting the liner, squeeze cementing, or other work involved in changing the producing interval in a well.

OBS

workover; workover operation: terms usually used in the plural (workovers; workover operations).

Key term(s)
  • workovers
  • workover operations

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
DEF

Ensemble des travaux d'entretien, de réparation et de rééquipement effectués au cours de l'exploitation d'un puits de pétrole.

OBS

Le terme «reconditionnement» est officiellement recommandé par le Gouvernement français.

OBS

reconditionnement : Ce terme est préconisé par l'administration pour éviter l'anglicisme «work over».

OBS

travaux de reconditionnement; travaux de complément : termes rarement utilisés au singulier (travail de reconditionnement; travail de complément).

Key term(s)
  • travail de reconditionnement
  • travail de complément
