The Technology Exposure Facility(TEF), currently under study by ESA [European Space Agency], is a way of accommodating a wide range of research and development investigations and offering a controlled exposure to the space station environment.... The principal new feature for an exposed payload facility is the presence of a single, multi-purpose robotic servicing capability.... Together with the robotics, the modular architecture of the facility allows on orbit reconfiguration and, more significantly, a "black box" approach to the accommodation of individual payloads. 2, record 5, English, - technology%20exposure%20facility

Multi Material Moulding. Two raw material injection moulding: In this process, two materials are injected consecutively into two different mould cavities through separate nozzles to produce a moulded part. First one component is injected, then this part is transferred to another cavity by turning or pushing out part of the mould or by transferring the moulding into another mould, then the second component is injected. During composite injection moulding (Combiform), the second cavity is vacated by actuating a movable core. Two component injection moulding: In this process, two materials are injected through a nozzle into a mould cavity, resulting in a moulding with a clear separation between skin and core component. This process is also referred to as sandwich injection moulding. 4, record 7, English, - multi%2Dmaterial%20moulding

Today the dividing line between [the] expressions ["two raw material injection moulding" and "two component injection moulding"] has become blurred as a result of the constant further development of the processes, new ideas and mould developments. In particular, two component injection moulding is also used as a term for the field of two raw material injection moulding (two shot moulding). The terms must therefore be clearly defined at the beginning of project discussions. 4, record 7, English, - multi%2Dmaterial%20moulding

[Moshe Sadfie] is one of Canada's most famous architects... Expo ’67 gave him the chance to see his McGill University thesis built as Habitat ’67. It was a brilliant and socially sensitive design which aimed at providing a new model for high-density housing which combined privacy, economy and visual interest. Habitat ’67 was a prototype relying on modular construction. Each module was an elongated cube built on site and hoisted into position with a crane. Depending on the number of modules used, a given apartment could range from a 600 sq. ft.(55 sq. m.) bachelor unit to a family-sized suite. 1, record 8, English, - high%2Ddensity%20housing
