Tramète sépia. [...] Il est de couleur fauve plus ou moins vive, puis, à mesure qu'il vieillit, il devient bai foncé, marron, bistré ou sépia, d'où son nom vulgaire. La marge du chapeau reste fauve jaunâtre. Les lamelles sont minces, rigides et serrées [...] Cette espèce fait son habitat privilégié du bois travaillé - planches et piquets de conifères [...] et c'est sur les barrières des pâturages où elle s'établit aussi très souvent qu'on a le plus de chances de la rencontrer. Elle croît rarement en forêt, mais on la rencontre parfois sur des troncs de conifères morts. Elle provoque une pourriture rouge, sèche, très active. 2, record 1, French, - lenzite%20des%20cl%C3%B4tures

Powder molding.... The metal part is usually coated in a two component tank in which the powdered resin held in place by a porous plate is mixed with a highly-compressed gas which is forced through the porous metal plate. The gas-powder mixture, which resembles a fluid, adheres to any metal part, which, after being preheated above the melting point of the resin, is placed in the fluidized bed atmosphere.... The final fusing of the polymer takes place in an oven or in a bath of molten salt. 2, record 2, English, - powder%20moulding

When a fire raises the ambient temperature to the fusing temperature of the device, the solder melts, allowing the spring to move the contact point.
