Swages are forming and shaping tools. Matched or paired swages are called top and bottom swages.... Top swages are set tools as they have an eye extending through the head in which is placed a handle. It is positioned over the metal in the bottom swage and struck with a sledge hammer by the striker. Top and bottom swages are sometimes used separately. There are individual bottom swages to fit in the hardy hole which do not have a corresponding to swage. A few top swages are made to be worked alone. 2, record 2, English, - top%20swage

Le moindre incident survenant aux abords du Pont de l'Europe paralyserait les échanges entre les deux rives. L'important trafic qui transite par le Pont de l'Europe génère des encombrements préjudiciables aux échanges transfrontaliers, à la circulation urbaine dans les deux agglomérations, à la desserte des zones portuaires et de l'aéroport de Strasbourg-Entzheim. 3, record 3, French, - trafic%20journalier

Automatic control is achieved by means of a controller which establishes a given relationship between two physical quantities x and y, which are referred to as coupled if the effect of x on y is matched by a negative feedback of y on x, tending to cancel the effect of the action. X is the controlled variable and y the regulated value. If a value x0, known as the set desired value is imposed on x, any deviation between x and x0 will have an action on y such that the value of y will alter to cancel this deviation. This forms a closed loop which will automatically return x to its set value x0(...) 1, record 8, English, - regulated%20value

La régulation automatique consiste en général à établir, à l'aide d'un appareil appelé régulateur, une corrélation entre deux grandeurs physiques x et y, dites couplées si à une action de x sur y correspond une réaction négative de y sur x tendant à annuler l'effet de cette action. X est appelé grandeur à régler et y grandeur de réglage. Si à x est imposée une valeur x0 dite valeur de consigne, tout écart entre x et x0 conduira à une action telle sur y que la variation de y aura tendance à annuler cet écart. On réalise ainsi une chaîne bouclée qui, pour toute perturbation tendant à modifier la valeur de x, ramènera automatiquement x à sa valeur de consigne x0. 1, record 8, French, - grandeur%20de%20r%C3%A9glage
