GAS INPUT PRESSURE [3 records]

Record 1 2016-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Plasma Physics
CONT

... low pressure plasma is used in the most diverse ranges, where a better adhesion between materials or a change in surface property is desired. With the low pressure plasma technology gas in the vacuum becomes excited by energy input. High energy ions and electrons are developed along with other reactive particles, which form the plasma, and surfaces can be changed effectively.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Physique des plasmas
CONT

Le plasma sous basse pression constitue un outil particulièrement polyvalent pour modifier les surfaces. Nettoyage final de composants contaminés, activation de surface de pièces plastique, attaque du PTFE[polytétrafluoréthylène], gravure du silicium et revêtement de pièces plastique par des films proches du PTFE, figurent parmi les applications possibles. À cet égard, le plasma sous basse pression est utilisé dans de nombreux domaines où il est important de coller les matériaux ensemble ou pour modifier les propriétés de surface [...] Dans la technologie de plasma sous basse pression, le gaz est excité sous vide par apport d'énergie. Il en résulte la formation d’espèces énergétiques ions, électrons, ainsi que d'autres particules réactives, lesquelles constituent le plasma. Les surfaces peuvent ainsi être modifiées efficacement.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
  • Respiratory System
CONT

Caloric requirements can be measured using a metabolic cart. The metabolic cart measures the patient’s oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production at rest.

CONT

Metabolic carts are computerized instruments [that are mounted on a cart and] used to measure metabolic energy expenditure as well as cardiovascular and respiratory function at rest or during exercise.... The uniqueness of a metabolic cart is that, given the appropriate software, stand alone gas analyzers and airflow measurement devices can be integrated with a computer..., color monitor and printer. Peripheral analog input channels allow connection of external devices such as cycle ergometers, treadmills, pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors and heart rate monitors.... the user can select or configure the cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic parameters for simultaneous display in a real time graphic, numeric or hard copy format.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement médico-chirurgical
  • Appareil respiratoire
CONT

On mesure directement les dépenses énergétiques d'un patient au moyen d'un chariot métabolique, en mesurant la quantité d'oxygène et de CO2 expirées. La consommation d'oxygène (VO2) et la production de CO2 (VCO2) sont ainsi estimées et la dépense énergétique calculée [...]

Record 3 2001-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

Introduction of gas under high pressure into a producing reservoir through an input or injection well as part of a pressure maintenance, secondary recovery, or recycling operation.

CONT

... gravity allows the oil to drain to the lower part of the formation where it may be produced. In such a situation, gas injection can be a very effective recovery method.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
CONT

L'injection d'eau (ou water flooding) s'effectue en introduisant, sous pression, de l'eau en grande quantité par un certain nombre de puits d'injection et permet de déplacer ainsi le pétrole brut vers des puits de production. L'injection de gaz se fait suivant le même principe.
