Record 6 2008-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
OBS

Application of the brake pedal, which is linked to the master cylinder piston rod, causes the piston rod to push the piston forward inside the master cylinder casting. A slight forward movement blocks the compensating port, and the buildup of pressure begins. This pressure is transmitted to the brake assembly. When the brake pedal is released and returns to the "off" position, the piston return spring pushes the front piston seal and the piston back to full "off" position against the piston return stop. This again clears the compensating port. Fluid that was moved into the brake assembly and brake connecting line is then pushed back to the master cylinder by the brake piston which is returned to the "off" position by the pressure of the brake piston return springs. Any pressure or excess volume of fluid is relieved through the compensating port and passes back to the fluid reservoir. This prevents the master cylinder from locking or causing the brakes to drag.

Subject field(s)
  • Areal Planning (Urban Studies)
  • Ecosystems
CONT

The premise of a global policy for the protection of vast areas went into application with the implementation of the ZNE "Zones naturelles d’équilibre"(Natural balance zones) policy as stated on 1975. This policy was based on the principles defined in the Green Book experiment for the Versailles Plain. On the regional scale, these ZNE play an important role in fostering a policy for enhancing open spaces between and around New Towns, with an aim to maintaining the discontinuous organisation of urban growth as called for in successive Master Plans. The plans prescribe regulatory action leading to a strict control of urban expansion, and action inciting the valorisation of different uses of the space.
