Subject field(s)
  • Renewable Energy
  • Heat (Physics)
CONT

Thermo-osmotic energy conversion(TOEC) is an emerging process that efficiently extracts energy from low-grade heat sources. By utilizing a temperature gradient, TOEC induces a partial vapor pressure difference across a hydrophobic membrane. This pressure gradient drives the vapor from the hot feed side through the membrane's pores to the cold permeate side. The movement of water from the hot feed side to the permeate side of the membrane results in excess fluid in the cold reservoir, generating a pressurized flow that can be harnessed to drive a turbine and generate electricity.

DEF

A ground stroke played by left-handers to the left of the body, and by right-handers to the right.

CONT

For the right-handed player, all strokes on the right side of the body are forehand and all strokes on the left side of the body are backhand.

CONT

When Greg Rusedski hits a tennis ball, it seems to involve a lot of moving parts. A lean six-foot-four and 190 pounds, he’s all arms and legs as he whomps his big serve and whacks his forehands and backhands.

CONT

After Becker plopped a forehand into the net, he offered a perfunctory handshake at the net without even glancing at Voinea.

OBS

Both the French and Spanish make much use of the anglicism "drive", albeit not in a correct fashion : In English "drive" is supposed to imply a ball hit with a lot of pace to win a point outright, regardless of the type of spin used to accomplish this task, and regardless of which side it is hit(forehand or backhand).(The terms "shot" and "stroke", being more neutral, need not imply any added spin whatsoever.) However in both French and Spanish, "drive" is also used often as a synonym for "forehand"(shot/stroke).

[...] coup après rebond de la balle effectué habituellement au fond du terrain, du côté du corps dont la main tient la raquette.

CONT

Pour un droitier, tous les coups donnés à droite sont considérés comme des coups droits et à gauche comme des revers.

OBS

Dans une source européenne on relève, «un droit» (décocher des droits foudroyants) pour signifier le coup droit, mais aussi, et de façon incorrecte, l'anglicisme «drive» admis en Europe. Ce dernier terme signifie en réalité «un coup puissant renvoyant la balle avec force en lui faisant raser le filet» et ne doit pas être utilisé comme synonyme de coup droit, tout coup frappé avec la paume de la main faisant face au mouvement de la balle, que le coup soit exécuté de la droite ou de la gauche.

OBS

À éviter l'anglicisme générique «drive». Ce terme peut être aussi synonyme de «coup d'attaque». À propos, il existe divers types de coups droits : à plat, lifté (généralement à vocation offensive), coupé (souvent coup d'attente).

An offensive groundstroke where the tennis ball is propelled forcefully with either top spin or with a flat-faced racquet deep into an opponent’s court. Such a quick shot would barely clear the net.

Subject field(s)
  • Golf
DEF

An informal or club tournament in which weaker players are paired or grouped with a stronger player so that there is no side of strong players to dominate. In golf, each of the players in a group will play from the same spot, normally the spot where the ball of the player with the best stroke(as the longest drive or the nearest approach shot) landed. Each player plays his own ball, and the best score for a hole counts as the side's score.

OBS

Usually, "scramble" is used alone. So that every player knows what type of tournament he is registered in, the event could be called a "best ball per group for each shot".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Golf
DEF

Genre de tournoi où forts et faibles sont regroupés pour former des équipes de 4 à 8 golfeurs de forces égales. A chaque coup, tous les joueurs d'une même équipe replacent leur balle là où se trouve celle de leur équipier qui a frappé le meilleur coup. Le pointage par trou est le même pour les membres d'une même équipe.

OBS

Ce genre de tournoi est mieux compris lorsque désigné par «meilleure balle par groupe à chaque coup»; on fait suivre de «(scramble)» pour éviter toute confusion. L'expression est au masculin si elle désigne le tournoi; EX : Le tournoi de la compagnie sera un meilleure balle par groupe à chaque coup (scramble). Elle est au féminin si l'on désigne la balle même; EX : Durant le tournoi, les golfeurs devront jouer la meilleure balle par groupe à chaque coup.

A metal plate placed into deep snow for use as an anchor.

CONT

Snow flukes(deadmen) are used as protective devices and belay anchors. These are metal plates flat angled, fitted with nylon or wire slings. Bury them in the snow or drive them in at about forty-five degrees uphill from the line of pull, with the open side of the angle toward the slope. A pull on the wire should drive the fluke deeper.

The deadman is usually the best anchor for very soft snow.

The ESA facility MOMO MOrphological transition in transparent MOdel materials is designed to study directional solidification of optically transparent melts. It investigates the effect of gravity on the formation of growth morphologies.

CONT

The key element of the MOMO experiment assembly is a Bridgman furnace for low temperatures(< 100°C). The furnace generates a temperature gradient over a cylindrical glass ampoule containing the sample. The sample material for the first two flights was a succinonitrile(SCN) based compound, which has solidifying structures similar to those of a metal alloy. The furnace is accommodated on a linear drive, which can be moved over the sample ampoule for directional solidification. An endoscope from the liquid side of the sample provides optical observation of the solid-liquid interface. Recorded images are analysed after the experiment to determine parameters of the solidifying morphological structure.

With a part-time/full-time system, users expect to employ four-wheel drive on the highway. But accepted practice held that a planetary or bevel gear differential was needed to prevent generation of wind-up torques on a dry road. Designs without mechanical differentials have long been known to cause particular problems during tight turns and parallel parking, when wheels on one side of the vehicle travel a different distance than wheels on the other side. Forcing all four wheels to operate in synchronization during such maneuvers causes drive-line wind-up.

Le contacteur centrifuge est placé du côté gauche du compartiment des accessoires près du compteur de temps de fonctionnement. Il comprend un arbre d'entraînement, commandé par le train d'engrenages qui entraîne des masselottes. Celles-ci sous l'action de la force centrifuge poussent un plongeur qui agit sur un levier portant les lames ressort préréglées, lesquelles agissent sur les trois interrupteurs. Le rôle de ce contacteur est de commander l'ordre des opérations du circuit électrique de démarrage. Les trois interrupteurs fonctionnent respectivement à 35 % N, 95 % N et 110 % N (N étant la vitesse régulée du groupe).

The compartment cooling air fan is located on the APU left side just aft of the generator. The fan is driven by the accessory drive and draws air through a flapper valve mounted on the exterior surface of the APU enclosure left side. Cooling air supplied by the fan from the aft accessory compartment is blown into the system through a bifurcated duct attached to the aft side of the fan housing. This duct diverts a portion of air through the oil cooler and allows the remainder to be used for generator and APU compartment cooling. Air for cooling the generator flows through a crossover duct attached to the blast cap on the end of the generator. Air for cooling the compartment is allowed to escape into the area surrounding the APU by means of a slot in the lower surface of the generator crossover duct.
