Streamer lines are long lines attached to a high point on the stern of a fishing boat so that they fall slowly to the surface of the water. On the 25 m or so of the lines, multiple "streamers" are attached : strands of often brightly coloured line attached on a swivel to the main line. These move in the wind and interfere with birds attempting to reach the baited longline below. 4, record 1, English, - streamer%20line

La tension sur la ligne crée une section aérienne avec des banderoles suspendues à intervalles réguliers lorsque le navire est en mouvement. La section aérienne des banderoles est essentielle pour effrayer les oiseaux afin de les éloigner des hameçons garnis d'appâts : un objet peut être remorqué afin de créer une tension supplémentaire et maximiser ainsi l'étendue aérienne. L'objectif est d'ainsi maintenir la ligne de banderoles au-delà des hameçons garnis d'appâts afin d'éviter que les oiseaux ne viennent attaquer les appâts et se fassent prendre par les hameçons. 1, record 2, French, - banderole%20d%27effarouchement

The balanced pressure system ... relies on: (1) a hydraulically monitored pressure control valve in a bypass foam concentrate line from a pump, and (2) a correctly sized venturi-type proportioning controller in the water line for correct and automatic proportioning over wide ranges of flow. 4, record 5, English, - balanced%2Dpressure%20proportioner

British Gas and Tracto-Technik jointly developed the technology called pipe bursting, which "allows the replacement of cast iron, clay, cement, and other fracturable pipes with a new main of the same or larger size for water, sewer, or production lines. "... Pipe bursting involves digging an entry pit at one end of the failed pipe and running a pneumatic pipe-bursting tool and an expander into the pipe through the pit opening. The pipe-bursting tool is a soil displacement hammer fitted with cutting blades. A steel line, attached to the head of the tool and to a winch on the other end of the pipe, keeps the line tight and helps guide the tool. As the pipe burster hammers through old pipe, the expander moves broken fragments and dirt out of the way to make room for new pipe, which is attached to the back of the tool and follows it into the void. After the new pipe is in place, crews connect service laterals at specified locations. 2, record 7, English, - bursting%20tool

Le développement de nouveaux procédés pour la réhabilitation de conduites existantes, ceci afin d'augmenter leur durée de vie, a débuté dans les années 70. Le tubage ou l'insertion d'une petite conduite à l'intérieur de l'ancienne, était déjà utilisé depuis un certain temps. Les nouvelles méthodes consistaient: a) en l'utilisation d'une technique d'éclatement pour retirer l'ancienne conduite et la remplacer simultanément avec une nouvelle et b) en la fabrication in situ d'un nouveau revêtement en insérant une gaine imprégnée de résine dans la conduite existante afin de former une nouvelle conduite structurellement indépendante [après séchage]. 2, record 8, French, - %C3%A9clatement
