INCOMING VOLUME [9 records]

Record 1 2025-02-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Building Ventilation
CONT

Controlled mechanical ventilation(CMV) provides constant control over the volume of air exchange by responding to the building's use and the presence or absence of persons inside. CMV systems also provide a high level of purity of incoming air through filtration devices that prevent pollutants from outside environments from entering.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ventilation (Construction)
CONT

La VMC est un dispositif intégré au bâtiment fonctionnant avec une centrale de ventilation forçant l'extraction de l'air pour le renouveler et assurer ainsi la qualité de l'air intérieur.

Record 2 2016-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Radiotelephony
  • Air Transport
DEF

A self-acting device which maintains the output of a radio receiver or amplifier substantially constant within relatively narrow limits while the input voltage varies over a wide range.

OBS

In FM receivers, this device is called the automatic gain control(agc) because, unlike the AM receiver, the volume at the output is not directly related to the incoming signal strength.

[All the rectangular balers] feature a floating auger feed that automatically adjusts to the incoming crop volume to keep material moving smoothly and evenly to the packer fingers which sweep it gently through the large feed opening into the bale chamber.

Record 4 2001-05-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

Contact Stabilization. Microorganisms consume organics in the contact tank. Raw wastewater flows into the contact tank where it is aerated and mixed with bacteria. Soluble materials pass through bacterial cell walls, while insoluble materials stick to the outside. Solids settle out later and are wasted from the system or returned to a stabilization tank. Microbes digest organics in the stabilization tank, and are then recycled back to the contact tank, because they need more food. Detention time is minimized, so the size of the contact tank can be smaller. Volume requirements for the stabilization tank are also smaller because the basin receives only concentrated return sludge, there is no incoming raw wastewater. Often no primary clarifier before the contact tank due to the rapid uptake of soluble and insoluble food.

Key term(s)
  • contact-stabilization

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Différentes techniques sont utilisées pour le traitement des eaux. [...] Pour les eaux usées, des procédés biologiques ou physico-chimiques sont utilisés. Ceux-ci comprennent des cheneaux aérés par le procédé des brosses, des filtres bactériens, des disques biologiques, l'aération de surface (turbine, aérateur immergé, suppression d'air) et aussi des procédés du style aération prolongée ou faisant usage de la boue activée et du contact stabilisation.

Record 6 1990-03-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
CONT

Hyper-Raman effect. The nature of this effect is most easily described in terms of the corpuscular picture of the Raman effect. With an intense laser source, the number of monochromatic photons impinging on the molecules of a medium per unit volume and unit time may be extremely large.... the selection rules for the vibrational and rotational transitions in the hyper-Raman effect are different... Thus certain transitions are observable in the hyper-Raman effect that are normally forbidden. This is one virtue of the hyper-Raman effect; the other is that it is observed in a spectral region whose frequency is far removed from that of the incoming radiation(and is, in fact, twice that of the latter).
