Due to extremely difficult conditions of operation of jumping(night, rarefied air, low temperatures, high weight and big size of the equipment, high drop speed due to the requirement of a short time of the aircraft presence in the drop zone), the AD-2000 parachute uses two reliable opening systems, one with a stabiliser and opening the main canopy with a ripcord or automatic device, and the other with automatic opening on the line. 4, record 1, English, - automatic%20opening

In a low-yield(i. e., bleachable grade) chemical pulping operation, knots are generally defined as the fraction of pulp that is retained on a 3/8" perforated plate... The pressure screen knotter... consists of a totally enclosed cylindrical, perforated screen through which accepted stock flows. A rotating foil produces a series of pressure and vacuum pulses to keep the perforations clean. Knots are retained on the entrance side of the screen and are continuously discharged, along with some good fiber. The main drawback of the pressure knotter is the requirement for secondary screening of the reject stream to return good fiber back to the system. 1, record 3, English, - pressure%20screen%20knotter

[...] On utilise actuellement deux grands types de trieurs de nœuds [...] le classeur vibrant [...] Le classeur sous pression consiste en un cylindre complètement fermé et un tamis à travers duquel s'écoule la pâte acceptée. Une racle rotative produit une série de pulsations de vide et de pression contribuant à maintenir les orifices propres. Les nœuds sont retenus à l'entrée du classeur et évacués en continu en même temps qu'une certaine quantité de fibres acceptables. Ce type de classeur présente donc pour principal inconvénient de nécessiter une seconde étape de classage ayant pour objet la récupération des fibres en question. 1, record 3, French, - trieur%20de%20n%26oelig%3Buds%20sous%20pression

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Plant Water Requirement. The type of plants selected, their age and size, and how closely together they are planted all affect how much water is required to maintain a healthy landscape. Because rainfall is scarce in arid regions, it is best to select plants with low water requirements and control planting densities to reduce overall water need. Native plants are well-adapted to seasonal, short-lived water supplies, and most desert-adapted plants can tolerate drought, making them good choices for landscape planting. 1, record 4, English, - plant%20water%20requirement

Fundamental research in wet pressing has shown that the most important requirement in press design is to provide the shortest path for the water to follow in escaping from the nip. The shortest distance is equal to the felt thickness(usually referred to as the vertical direction). Therefore, the main water flow should be perpendicular to the felt, and lateral flow should be minimized. Presses with dominant vertical flow have become known as transverse-flow presses. 1, record 11, English, - transverse%2Dflow%20press

Dans la pratique, la plus courte distance qui soit est l'épaisseur du feutre (que l'on appelle en général direction verticale).
