Many screw designs have been utilized over the years for the various extrusion processes and materials.... The best-known screws can be loosely separated into two categories-conventional screws and barrier screws. Conventional screws usually are single flighted designs with the flight lead(or flight pitch) equal to the screw's nominal diameter. This type is termed a square-pitched screw, and when no mixing devices are present, it usually is referred to as a metering screw.

CONT

The two basic approaches are used: the single metering or compression screw ...; and the barrier flight screw.

Subject field(s)
  • Pensions and Annuities
DEF

A payment of a regular pension or similar benefit for a specified number of years or for the lifetime of the beneficiary or the beneficiary’s spouse.

OBS

The term "pension" is... applied rather than "annuity" to the regular payments made under public pension plans where no contract has been entered into for the payment of a specific amount of annuity. Although the terms "pension" and "annuity" have become almost synonymous, "annuity" should more properly be reserved for the technical processes involved, namely a series of equal payments made at equidistant intervals.

DEF

  • Chronology

... in 1894, the countries of Europe agreed to synchronize their watches(this means that they show the same time), and to use a unified indication of time. Since then, in continental Europe, with a few exceptions, you no longer have to correct your watch when you pass from one country to another; they all use the same time, which is referred to as Central European Time(CET).... During recent years, it has been decided to shift the time during the summer period. Thus, each year from spring(late March) to autumn, time used in Central Europe is the Central European Summer Time(CEST) which is equal to Central European Time plus 1 hour.

The Commission questioned why there had been no analysis on the settling ponds since 1997. CRI [COGEMA Resources Inc. ] explained that the average annual evaporation is about equal to annual precipitation, which means the settling ponds have not risen to a point where there is a need to remove the water.

Lorsque la Commission lui a demandé pourquoi il n'y avait pas eu d'analyse des bassins de décantation depuis 1997, CRI [COGEMA Resources Inc.] a expliqué que l'évaporation annuelle moyenne était à peu près la même que la précipitation annuelle et que, par conséquent, la hauteur de l'eau dans les bassins de décantation n'avait pas dépassé le point où on doit extraire de l'eau.

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

Inside an orbiting spacecraft a "microgravity" environment exists in which the acceleration of objects and persons relative to their surroundings is reduced to the level of micro g’s ...

OBS

Even in a gravity gradient attitude, accelerations caused by crew movements, equipment operations, and occasional thruster firings can disrupt the quiescent low-gravity environment and may affect microgravity science experiments. Accelerations at particular frequencies may interrupt one type of experiment but have no effect on others. These accelerations are measured at fractions of Earth's gravity; for instance, 10~ g is equal to 1/100, 000 of the gravity on Earth.

OBS

microgravity environment: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

PHR

Vibratory microgravity environment.

The buckwheat flower has no petals-the sexual parts, the ovary, three styles and eight stamens being enclosed in the petallike sepas. Four of the anthers bend out but turn their pollen inward. The other four turn their pollen outward(Knuth 1909, pp. 341-342). Some plants have flowers, referred to as the "thrum" type, with short styles and long filaments so the stamens extend above the styles. Other flowers, referred to as "pin" types, have long styles and short filaments so the stigma is avobe the anthers. Occasionally, the styles and stamens are at the same height. The long stamens and filaments are fully 3 mm; the shorter ones, about 2 mm. Although each plant bears flowers of only one form, the seeds from either form will produce plants having the dimorphic forms in about equal numbers. The thress styles lead to a single ovary with one ovule, so a flower can produce only one seed, which is about one-quarter inch long.

Many screw designs have been utilized over the years for the various extrusion processes and materials.... The best-known screws can be loosely separated into two categories-conventional screws and barrier screws. Conventional screws usually are single flighted designs with the flight lead(or flight pitch) equal to the screw's nominal diameter. This type is termed a square-pitched screw, and when no mixing devices are present, it usually is referred to as a metering screw. Barrier screws are seen in many design configurations used in the extrusion industry, depending upon the designer. These screws have a second flight, which acts as a melt/solid separator designed to enhance output stability and allow higher usable output performance levels.

La vis Maillefer consiste en deux canaux séparés, constitués par deux filets de vis de pas différents, se succédant le long de la vis avec une zone de chevauchement des deux filets. Le filet supplémentaire, dont le pas est tel qu'il correspond à un tour de moins que le filet principal sur la longueur de la zone de compression, balaie dans cette zone la largeur du canal, définissant deux canaux de largeur variable. En fait la position du filet supplémentaire correspond à celle que prendrait la frontière entre solide et liquide du processus de plastification par l'arrière du filet. On peut alors constater que le solide reste contenu dans le filet principal et que le liquide s'accumule dans le filet secondaire situé en arrière. Tout se passe comme si le filet supplémentaire était une frontière forcée entre le lit solide et la poche de matière fondue. Ainsi les deux états de la matière sont parfaitement séparés, ce qui permet d'éviter la pollution de la poche liquide par des fragments de solide.
