Subject field(s)
  • Weapon Systems
CONT

An improved method of manufacturing [a] ammunition round [that] utilizes an aluminum alloy seamless tube as a cartridge case and at least one case end seal. The seal is configured to have a unique angled slot and the case end is conically shaped by a mandrel to be press fit into the seal slot.

Subject field(s)
  • Vacuum Tubes (Electronics)
CONT

A vacuum tube consists of two or more electrodes in a vacuum inside an airtight enclosure. Most tubes have glass envelopes, though ceramic and metal envelopes(atop insulating bases) have also been used. The electrodes are attached to leads which pass through the envelope via an airtight seal. On most tubes, the leads, in the form of pins, plug into a tube socket for easy replacement of the tube...

A small part that allows calandria tubes to be rolled into the calandria.

OBS

When the tubes were originally installed, stainless steel rings-inserts-were placed inside the tubes and compressed outwards to seal the ends of each tube into grooves in the holes of the calandria tubesheets. The inserts effectively create a leak tight joint between the calandria tubes and the tube sheets.

Record 5 2008-08-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

A device for maintaining a patent airway without tracheal intubation, consisting of a tube connected to an oval inflatable cuff that seals the larynx.

OBS

[The] laryngeal mask airway(LMA) is a cuff device that provides sufficient seal to allow for positive pressure ventilation to be delivered. It is particularly useful in maintaining an airway in anesthetized patients when endotracheal intubation is not desired or during emergency situations in which mask ventilation is not possible or intubation and/or ventilation fails. An LMA is a wide bore tube, with a connector at its proximal end(that can be connected to a breathing circuit) and with an elliptical cuff at its distal end. When inflated, the elliptical cuff forms a low pressure seal around the entrance into the larynx.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
CONT

Le masque laryngé (ML) est un dispositif qui permet le contrôle des voies aériennes. [...] il est fréquent d'utiliser le masque laryngé pour des chirurgies nécessitant des anesthésies profondes, imposant de ventiler le patient. Les modalités de la ventilation en pression positive sur masque laryngé ne sont pas encore bien définies, surtout chez l'enfant. [...] De nombreuses études ont montré que le ML pouvait être utilisé comme [solution de remplacement] à l'intubation trachéale sous certaines conditions.

OBS

Le masque laryngé est un matériel destiné à la ventilation de patients en anesthésie. Son indication comprend les interventions de courte durée (moins de 2 heures) sans modification de la position opératoire et autorisant un accès immédiat à la tête afin de réaliser une intubation classique si le besoin s’en faisait sentir. Le patient doit être à jeun et ne présenter aucun risque d’inhalation. Le ML est contre-indiqué chez les patients à risque de régurgitation ou d'inhalation, que la cause en soit chirurgicale ou médicale. [...] Ce dispositif ne permet pas d’isoler les voies aériennes des voies digestives. Le risque majeur est donc l’inhalation du contenu gastrique (syndrome de Mendelson).

Record 6 2008-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

The purpose of a flare on the end of a tube is twofold. First, it provides a flange that is gripped between the sleeve or flare nut and the body of a fitting. This prevents the end of the tube from slipping out of the fitting. Second, the flare acts as a gasket between the sleeve and the cone of the fitting, thus providing a tight seal. [The] flare must be nearly perfect because minute cracks or irregularities would permit leakage at the junction.

CONT

In servicing the fuel system [of an aircraft] it is sometimes necessary to make flares on the ends of tubing.

Cap Mats and Strips. Matrix Technologies EVA cap mats and strips are engineered to maintain a strong seal at all times on tubes, microplates and blocks.... Each cap mat features alphanumeric designations as well as traditional row and column indicators to simplify orientation of the cap mat over the corresponding tubes or wells. 1mL cap mats or strips effectively seal 0. 75mL tubes, 1. 4mL tubes, 1mL blocks and 96 well microplates.... The SepraSeal [trademark] Cap Mat System allows each tube in a 96-tube rack to be sealed individually as easily as applying a standard cap mat. After the mat is sealed on the rack, simply remove the backing plate to leave each tube individually sealed. Caps are made of an advanced elastomer and offer an excellent vapor barrier for both water and DMSO even at temperatures down to-80°C. Sepraseal caps can be... pierced and resealed and are available as solid caps or pre-slit for easier piercing. For ease of use and maximum efficiency, we offer the SepraSeal cap-removal tool that can be used to remove a single cap or an entire row at once. Caps can then be reinserted into tubes or ejected.

High-frequency sealing is the most-used method for sealing laminated tubes. Its advantages include excellent seal strength and high speeds. In this system, high frequency current is sent through the tube causing the aluminum foil layer to heat up. The hot foil melts the plastic inner layer, creating a strong, hermetic seal when the tube is crimped.
