The coupling of isoelectric focusing on immobilized pH gradients(IPG) with electrospray-mass spectrometry(ES-MS) was applied to the characterization of proteins according to two different and important properties, such as net surface charge and molecular mass. From a technical point of view, these methods are complementary, since ES-MS requires ion-free samples as usually supplied by isoelectric focusing on IPGs. 3, record 1, English, - Electrospray%2DMass%2DSpectrometry

[...] la spectrométrie de masse tient une grande place dans la panoplie des techniques analytiques. Les méthodes d'ionisation, connues sous le nom d'ES-MS (Electrospray-Mass Spectrometry), de MALDI (Matrix Assisted Laser Ionization), permettent la caractérisation des protéines recombinantes, la détermination des modifications post-traductionnelles (glycolysation, acylation, phosphorilation...) de protéines de haut poids moléculaire (jusqu'à 300 kDa), et l'étude des complexes non covalents formés par le récepteur et son ligand. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%27ES%2DMS

Frequently, fluid clutches are used to drive equipment. In these instances, the sheaves mounted on a coupling can drive a zero speed switch indicator through a V-belt drive.

Équivalent proposé par André Sénécal, traducteur à la Technique centrale. On parle de "voyant", car le dispositif en question ne saurait être autre chose qu'une lampe-témoin ou un voyant. Le terme "switch" n'a rien d'un interrupteur: il signifie tout simplement que lorsque le régime va baisser sous un point critique, un contact va s'établir, de façon que l'opérateur puisse en être averti. Quant au terme "speed", il est traduit ici par "régime" (qui s'exprime en tours/minute et s'applique à un moteur), plutôt que par "vitesse" (qui s'exprime par exemple en m/h et s'applique à des corps ou véhicules en mouvement) ou par "rotation" (qui s'exprime également en tours/minute, mais s'applique à des arbres mécaniques). Le terme "zero" en anglais ne signifie pas ici que le régime est nul, mais qu'il passe en dessous d'un niveau déterminé. 1, record 3, French, - voyant%20d%27avertissement%20de%20bas%20r%C3%A9gime
