The Pistol Grip Tool(PGT) is the primary power tool for the Hubble Space Telescope and International Space Station operations. [This] self-contained, computer controlled, and battery powered 3/8 inch drive pistol grip style power tool [is] programmable on-orbit or on the ground for speed, torque, and revolutions settings. [It] interfaces with many types of mechanisms and fastener types. [It is an] Integral Multiple Setting Torque Limiter(MTL) [and has] an EVA changeable battery[, ] a separate manual ratchet and motorized torque modes[, ] a LED Matrix readout of tool functions. [It's] modular construction [allows] for ease of new technology integration. Torque settings range from 0. 7 to 25. 0 ft-lbs in motorized mode, and up to 38. 00 fr-lbs in manual mode. The MTL torque setting range from 2. 0 to 40. 0 fr-lbs and above. Speed settings range from 5 to 60 RPM. Revolutions count settings range from 0. 01 to 999 turns. The battery [is] sized to provide full 25. 0 ft-lb torque on 80 fasteners.

CONT

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.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

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.

OBS

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.

CONT

A brand new range of machines for multi-material moulding is now available due to the modular concept of the CANBIO line. Negri Bossi is producing this range of machines to meet the increasing requirements of the market for "multi-shot" and "multi-colour" mouldings.

Gas-assist and multiple-material molding are among the hottest value-adding developments to hit injection molding in years.

Subject field(s)
  • Urban Housing
CONT

[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.

Domaine(s)
  • Habitation et logement (Urbanisme)
DEF

[...] ensemble résidentiel d'un ou plusieurs milliers de logements qui appartiennent souvent pour la plupart, parfois en totalité, au secteur social et qui sont réalisés sous l'autorité d'un aménageur unique.

CONT

L'urbanisation sous forme de grands ensembles [...] [avait pour] objectif [...] de concentrer géographiquement les réalisations d'infrastructures et d'équipements publics par souci d'économie. [...] les phénomènes de ghetto qu'entraînaient de grandes concentrations de logements sociaux [...] devaient provoquer l'abandon progressif de ce mode d'urbanisation [...]

CONT

Moshe Safdie est l'un des architectes les plus célèbres du Canada [...] Expo 67 lui donna l'occasion de concrétiser la thèse qu'il avait écrite à McGill et qui devint Habitat 67. Ce prototype d'ensemble domiciliaire à haute densité est composé de modules rectangulaires qui furent construits sur place et disposés à l'aide de grues; il était conçu pour être économique, esthétique et privé. La superficie des appartements est fonction du nombre de modules utilisés : du studio (55 m²) à l'appartement familial.
