Line matrix printers offer medium resolution, monochrome printing with a very low ribbon cost. They also provide high speed... Line matrix printers can exist in harsh conditions and are often found in warehouses and other industrial environments.... The print mechanism is a row of dot hammers that is almost as wide as the page.

Subject field(s)
  • Plating of Metals
  • Metal Rolling
  • Coining
CONT

RCM [Royal Canadian Mint] has also conducted a series of durability and wear tests in real-life situations. In extremely harsh coinage environments, such as certain African countries, coins may be exchanged up to 20 to 30 times more than in other countries. Even in this situation, studies show that multi-ply plated steel coins show less wear than mono-ply plated steel and alloy coins in the same environments.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Placage des métaux
  • Laminage (Métallurgie)
  • Monnayage
CONT

[...] les tests démontrent qu’avec le temps, les pièces en acier plaqué multicouche subissent une perte de poids significativement inférieure à celle des pièces en alliage massif; les pièces plaquées multicouche sont donc beaucoup plus résistantes à l’usure.

Record 5 2003-02-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Protection of Life
CONT

LST sustains or enhances the effectiveness and individual protection of personnel operating from specialized combat platforms/systems, such as aircrew, submariners and divers, or soldiers operating in harsh environments. These operational environments preclude optimal exploitation of the platforms/systems capabilities, or endanger life, without the protection of LST.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité des personnes
CONT

L'application des techniques de survie maintient ou augmente l'efficacité et la protection de chacun des membres du personnel qui font fonctionner des plates-formes/systèmes de combat spécialisés, comme l'équipage d'aéronef, les sous-mariniers et les plongeurs ou les soldats qui évoluent dans des conditions difficiles. Ces milieux opérationnels rendent impossible l'exploitation optimale des capacités des plates-formes/systèmes ou mettent des vies en danger sans que le personnel bénéficie de la protection des techniques de survie.
