Record 4 2009-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
CONT

BRUSH STRIP SEALS. The versatility of brush strip and ease of installation makes it particularly suitable for sealing difficult applications such as sliding, revolving, pivot and roll-up doors against smoke, odours, draughts, dust, insects and light, and for the retention of air conditioning. Brush strip sealing is recognised as solving draught problems where heavy-duty use is required in areas such as public transport applications. Tests have proven that minimal wear occurs with prolonged use to either brush or contact surfaces. Dense black nylon bristles are locked into a galvanised steel strip, which is then generally fitted into an aluminium holder. The aluminium holder will take all bristle lengths, and the adhesive PVC foam tape is standard on most aluminium holders.

Record 5 2000-03-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Winemaking
DEF

A method of grafting grape vines in which the fruitwood cutting is notched at the lower end. The rootstock cutting is also notched, but at the upper end and, most importantly, with a notch design which will allow the fruitwood piece to fit into the rootstock piece like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. After the two are pressed together in a way which causes the cambium layers to remain in tight contact, the couplet is stored on its side in a warm, moist condition for several weeks until a callous forms around the union, sealing it.

Record 10 1993-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
DEF

... sealers [that] ... provide heat, pressure and time in sufficient amounts to bond firmly two heat-sealable surfaces.

OBS

The use of inductive heat-sealing equipment instead of conductive heat sealing is broadening the applications for foil lidding. Inductive sealing does not heat the lid by direct contact. Heat is brought into the lidding stock by a magnetic field through which the container and lid pass. The magnetic field heats the foil in the lid and an effective, hermetic seal forms between the lid and the container.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines et équipement d'emballage
DEF

Machine effectuant le thermoscellage (souvent par induction) des opercules.

OBS

opercule : Découpe en aluminium mince, film plastique ou complexe servant à la fermeture de petits contenants (pots de yaourt, petits suisses, etc.).

Record 11 1986-06-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Machinery
  • Geothermal Power Plants
DEF

... a positive displacement machine... designed to deal with geothermal fluids of all qualities.... Although it should be capable of handling a wide range of fluid conditions over high expansion ratios it is mechanically very complex and its efficiency is unlikely to be high. Nor is the sealing between inlet and exhaust, which would be dependent upon contact between the roller-pistons and vanes, likely to be very sound.
