Composite reinforcement for "bladed-glued" beams. Fiber Technologies(US) and the Wood Science and Technology Institute(Bedford, Canada), have developed FIRP, a composite made of high tenacity carbon fibre/aramid yarns thermoplastic or thermohardening matrix. The product is meant for wood reinforcement and for wood base composites, particularly for "bladed-glued" beams(glulam beams). A low ratio reinforcement percentage/beam section yields considerable mechanical advantages. 1, record 1, English, - FIRP%C2%AE

Renfort composite pour poutres en lamellé-collé. Le FIRP est un composite hybride fibres à haute ténacité carbone/fils aramide et matrice thermoplastique ou thermodurcissable. Il a été développé par Fiber Technologies Inc. (États-Unis), et le Wood Science and Technology Institute de Bedford (Canada), pour le renfort du bois et des composites à base de bois, en particulier les poutres de charpente à base de lamellé-collé (glulam beams). Un faible pourcentage de renfort par rapport à la section de poutre produit des gains mécaniques considérables. 1, record 1, French, - FIRP%C2%AE

Matrix fiber : A manufactured fiber that is essentially a physical combination or mixture of two or more chemically distinct constituents or components combined at or prior to the time of extrusion... which components if separately extruded would each fall within different definitions of textile fibers... Matrix-fibril fibers have the fibril constituent randomly arranged across the cross section of the matrix. When the fibril component is in high concentration it may actually form a fibrillar network in the matrix. 1, record 2, English, - matrix%20fiber

A rectangular array of horizontal and vertical input or output leads with diode or correed crosspoints at the intersection, used as a means of switching from any input to any output.(SMICO, 71 : 238) In circuit switching at least, the matrix has proven to be the most difficult section to reduce to electronics partly because of the mass of contacts that is represented, but also because the best electronic device is not as good a switch point as are metallic contacts.(LEETEL, 76 : 90) 1, record 6, English, - matrix

Ensemble de m x n points de connexion individuels disposés dans une structure rectangulaire à m lignes et n colonnes et telle que la ligne de rang m et la colonne de rang n soient mises en communication par le fonctionnement du point de connexion du rang m [indice]i n [indice]i. (TECHNI, E-2875: 5) Le réseau de connexion se présente comme une suite de "N étages de mailles" séparés par "N+1 étages de matrices". (TECHI, E-2875: 5) La notion de matrice est utilisée pour décrire géométriquement la topologie du réseau de connexion, le terme "commutateur élémentaire" sera réservé au composant technologique tel que le commutateur crossbar. Dans certains systèmes ("Pentaconta") il y a presque toujours identité des deux notions, dans d'autres non (CP 400). Dans les systèmes rotatifs, la matrice correspond au groupe de sélecteurs, qu'ils soient à deux mouvements (Strowger) ou à un mouvement (R6). (TECHNI, E-2875: 6) 1, record 6, French, - matrice
