[Incidents of tenure] The incidents of military tenure were the most extensive of all the forms of tenure and some of the incidents formed a part of the other forms of tenure as well. The incidents survived despite the decline of knight service because, except for homage and fealty, they became of increasing importance to the feudal lords as a source of money.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 21).

Record 6 2000-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

A supercharger which is located between the carburetor outlet and the intake manifold of the engine is called an internal supercharger. A supercharger thus located serves to provide a uniform distribution of the fuel-air charge to the various cylinders, as well as to increase the density of the charge. Maintaining a high manifold pressure ahead of the intake valves allows the use of "valve overlap" in the engine, so that the intake valve opens just before the exhaust valve closes at the end of the exhaust stroke. This allows the compressed mixture from the intake manifold to scavenge the spent gases out of the clearance volume of the cylinder and also tends to improve the cooling of the exhaust valve. This cooling is of particular importance when operating at "military" or "take-off" power. With no supercharging between the carburetor and the intake valves, "valve overlapping" would permit exhaust gases to flow back into the intake manifold. This would cause backfiring and dilution of the next charge of mixture with burned exhaust gases.

OBS

There is another difference between internally driven superchargers and turbochargers ... The internal supercharger compresses the fuel/air mixture after it leaves the carburetor or fuel metering device, while the turbocharger compresses the air before it is mixed with metered fuel.

Record 8 1987-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • International Public Law
CONT

Perhaps the best definition of a "sphere of influence" is that of Hall :... an understanding which enables a State to reserve to itself a right of excluding other European powers from territories that are of importance to it politically as affording means of future expansion to its existing dominions or protectorates, or strategically as preventing civilised neighbours from occupying a dominant military position".

CONT

From a doctrinal point of view a special place must be allotted to what has been called "zones of influence" or "spheres of interest". This name was given in the imperialist era to those territories which a State unilaterally proclaimed to be an area which it intended to bring under its sovereignty by gradually appropriating it through actual occupation, or which two (or more) States delimited inter se with the same purpose.

OBS

A "sphere of interest" differs only in direction of emphasis from a "sphere of influence". A State asserts a sphere of interest in a particular region when it claims to possess in that region exclusive economic or financial concessions or exclusive rights of exploitation, which it will not allow other Powers to exercise.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit international public
DEF

sphère d'influence : Terme introduit à la fin du XIXe siècle dans la langue du droit international pour désigner un espace territorial dans lequel est reconnu à un État, d'ordinaire par un traité bilatéral, un titre particulier pour y établir son autorité et en acquérir la souveraineté, l'autre État devant s'abstenir de l'en empêcher ou d'y exercer une activité concurrente.

OBS

Des auteurs ont enseigné qu'entre le terme "sphère d'influence" et le terme "sphère d'intérêt" existent des nuances faibles sans doute mais cependant perceptibles : la sphère d'influence ferait songer plutôt à quelque but politique; la sphère d'intérêt, à quelque but économique ou commercial [...]
