Record 1 2013-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pest Control Equipment
CONT

The anti-drift nozzles are highly advanced and capable of controlling drift effects. Thanks to a graduated pre-orifice and a specifically designed turbulence chamber a reduction in pressure is created which leads to a reduction in the small droplets subject to drift, whilst at the same very large drops are not created, thereby having the double advantage of assuring good covering with total wash out.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel de protection des végétaux
DEF

Buse à fente composée d’une pastille de calibrage, d’une chambre de détente et d’un insert percé d’un orifice en forme de fente, qui produit un jet plat dont la proportion de petites gouttes est réduite par rapport à une buse classique, à pression égale.

  • Scientific Instruments

  • Geochemistry
DEF

A compact, high-resolution and energy-dispersive x-ray detector.

CONT

Silicon Drift Detectors(SDD) are essentially 450 μm-thick discs of high-resistivity silicon which is fully depleted by applying a negative bias voltage to both sides of the disc. On one side of the planar structure the bias is graduated across the device by means of a series of "drift rings" such that a strong transverse electric field component is developed within the structure. This is used to direct electrons produced as a result of x-ray interactions towards a small charge collecting anode. On the opposite side of the device(x-ray entrance side) there is a uniform shallow implanted junction contact to allow good low energy x-ray sensitivity and minimum charge loss.
