DEF

A porte tache, or flask carrier, was a strap designed to carry a powder flask and a bullet pouch, and sometimes a spanner for wheel locks. Normally this strap was attached to the waist belt on the right side and hung straight down. It was most popular during the late years of the sixteenth century and the opening years of the seventeenth.

Il y eut, dans le domaine des munitions et de l'équipement, d'autres progrès, intimement liés à l'apparition de la platine à rouet. (...) Dans certains cas, la manivelle était montée sur la poire à poudre elle-même (...) Une courroie, appelée "portetache", devint d'un emploi généralisé; elle se boutonnait autour de la ceinture et pendait à la droite du tireur; tout le long se trouvaient des crochets, des poches et des agrafes pour y accrocher le sac à balles, la manivelle et la poire à poudre, de façon à en faciliter le port.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Protective Clothing
  • Military Equipment
  • Police
CONT

Frag vests with ballistic (armour) plates are the primary source of protection against shrapnel and small arms projectiles. ... The ballistic plates can be steel, ceramic or high performance polyethylene ...

CONT

Whilst soft flexible body armour can defeat most handgun and sub-machine gun threats, the stopping of high velocity rifle rounds demands a ballistic plate. Almost obsolete steel plates have given way to ceramics and composite materials which are unlikely to cause secondary injury from fragments. Armour plates are placed in pockets in the soft armour carrier, normally to protect chest and back, however the customer may specify additional pockets for smaller side plates... where the vest design permits this. For those vests which do not incorporate chest/back pockets a throw over plate carrying bib is available.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Vêtements de protection
  • Matériel militaire
  • Police
CONT

La principale source de protection contre les fragments et les projectiles d’armes légères est la veste pare-éclats avec plaques de protection balistique. [...] Ces plaques sont soit en acier, en céramique ou en polyéthylène haute performance [...]

Record 6 2011-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
CONT

The effect of pH on the stability of immobilized enzymes has been studied.... The stability of enzymes immobilized using polycationic carriers was enhanced on the acid side.... These shifts toward the acid side may be explained as follows. When an enzyme is bound to a polycationic carrier, positive charge on the enzyme protein increases, and the pH of the immobilized enzyme region becomes more alkaline than that of the external solution. Accordingly, the enzyme reaction effectively proceeds on the alkaline side of the external buffer pH, and the optimum pH apparently shifts to the acid side.

Subject field(s)
  • Weapon Systems
CONT

In addition to their flasks or horns, the early settlers often carried a pouch for bullets. This bag, usually of soft leather, was customarily worn suspended from the waist belt on the right side. Sometimes the pouch and flask were hung together on a leather strap known variously as a flask carrier or portetache.... Another means of carrying ammunition which was popular for a time in America was the bandolier... [with which] it was customary to carry a priming flask and a bullet pouch.

Subject field(s)

DEF

An imposition style that uses one image carrier for both sides of the sheet, like a work-and-turn imposition, but in this case the sheet is turned over so that the gripper edge is moved to the opposite side of the press and the guide edge remains the same.

OBS

Unlike the side guide, the grippers cannot be moved to the opposite side of the press, so a new edge of the sheet must be used as the gripper edge.

An imposition style that permits the printing of two sides of a sheet, using two different forms.

OBS

First, one image carrier prints the front of the sheet. Then the sheet is turned over lengthwise, so that the gripper edge remains in the same position and the side guide edge moves to the opposite side of the press. A second image carrier then prints the back side of the sheet, so that the two sides have different but complementary copy.
