Purpose of intraocular tamponade.... In the context of RD [retinal detachment] surgery, tamponade agents are used to provide surface tension across retinal breaks, which prevents further fluid flow into the subretinal space until the retinopexy(photocoagulation or cryopexy) provides a permanent seal.... Gases and silicone oils are the most commonly used classes of tamponade agents. 4, record 1, English, - intraocular%20tamponade

Flashings are used to make watertight any roof area where the roof membrane terminates, is interrupted, or intersects an area or projection having a marked change in slope or direction... Flashings are generally divided into two categories : base flashings and counterflashings. Base flashings are, in a sense, a continuation of the membrane, turned up onto a surface that is in a different plane from the field of the roof, and installed as a separate operation. They are usually fabricated using a nonmetallic material, such as an asphalt-coated felt. Counterflashings, or cap flashings, can be of metal, coated felt, or other materials. They shield and seal the exposed edges of the base flashing. The combined use of non-metallic materials for base flashings and metal for counterflashings brings out the best in each material. Bituminous base flashing materials have the same coefficient of expansion and contraction as the roof membrane, and they work together as a unit. They are the only type of material acceptable for use in constructing base flashings. 2, record 8, English, - bituminous%20base%20flashing

A full cylinder liner barrel consists of a steel jacket inside of which is a full-length tube of cast iron or special alloy. The inner surface of the barrel is polished to a mirrorlike finish to permit a fluid-tight seal between it and the plunger. A sectional liner barrel differs from the full liner barrel in that the tube placed inside the steel jacket consists of a series of sections placed end to end and held firmly in place by means of threaded collars on the ends of the steel jacket. 1, record 15, English, - liner%20barrel

Applied only to hermetic devices, the fine-leak detectors are used to detect defects in sealing that are too small to be detected by gross-leak. The devices to be tested are placed in a bomb that is then pressurized with a mixture of 90 percent nitrogen and 10 percent krypton 85. Under pressure, the gas will enter the package through any seal defects that are present. The bomb is then evacuated, and the devices "washed" with nitrogen to remove any krypton that may be on their surface. 3, record 16, English, - leak%20detector
