Le brassard pneumatique est placé sur la partie supérieure du bras pour comprimer l'artère humérale et il enregistre les variations des bruits ou des oscillations détectées lors du dégonflage. Les mesures doivent être effectuées avant les repas, après 5 min de repos, dans un environnement calme, sans avoir bu ni fumé ; les résultats obtenus sont significatifs lorsque les mesures sont suffisamment nombreuses et répétées. 1, record 1, French, - brassard%20pneumatique

A bell jar is a glass vessel open at the bottom and closed on top like a bell. It is used by the semiconductor industry primarily in vacuum operations-the vacuum being created within the bell jar. Accessories include the sealing apparatus between the bell jar and the collar of the vacuum equipment. These are made of neoprene or Viton-O-Ring and covered with vacuum grease that has a very low vapor pressure. A vacuum system using the bell jar as a vacuum vessel has been one of the primary methods of depositing thin films on electronic circuits. 1, record 2, English, - bell%20jar

The traditional calcium acid sulfite cook must be carried out at a low pH of about 1. 5 because of the relative insolubility of calcium. A higher pH would cause sealing compounds to precipitate during cooking, leading to a condition known as "liming up" of the digester(i. e., the reaction vessel). 1, record 3, English, - liming%20up

En raison de la relative insolubilité du calcium, la cuisson au bisulfite acide de calcium doit s'effectuer à un faible pH d'environ 1,5. En effet, un pH plus élevé provoquerait la formation, pendant la cuisson, de composés insolubles entraînant «l'entartrage» des lessiveurs. 1, record 3, French, - entartrage
