DEF

An annular opening for introducing melt into a mold, used to make cylindrical parts.

CONT

In gating into hollow tubes, flow considerations can dictate an even injection flow pattern. A single gate is not sufficient. Four gates 90° from each other produce four flow lines down the side of the piece, which may be objectionable. To overcome this, a diaphragm gate is used. The inside of the hole is filled with plastic directly from the sprue and acts as a gate. It must be machined out later. A ring gate accomplishes the same thing from the outside.

DEF

Fine, meshed material suspended in the water to prevent silt escaping from a construction site.

CONT

Soil Retention Tests. One variation of this test is directed toward the use of geotextiles as underwater silt curtains. The test device consists of two rectangular tanks which are placed end to end with slide gates facing one another. Between these two slide gates is the fabric specimen under test. The upstream tank(with the slide gate closed) is now filled with water that has a known amount of silt uniformly mixed in it. The gate valve at the exit end of the downstream tank is opened. The test begins by lifting up the slide gates on each side of the fabric and allowing the(turbid) water to pass through the fabric, which is acting as a submerged soil filter... This test... is aimed at the reduction in turbidity of rivers and streams during adjacent construction activities.

[...] l'équipe de recherche essaie diverses techniques visant à faire pousser de la végétation submergée dans les zones d'eaux libres du marécage.

OBS

Outre les fossés transversaux, certains fossés à pente longue, en bordure des routes, pourraient nécessiter l'utilisation d'une membrane filtrante comme barrière de rétention. Ceci permet de réduire la vitesse d'écoulement, de contenir l'érosion et de prévenir le dépôt de limon dans les ruisseaux avoisinants.

DEF

A type of gate incorporated into a perimeter fence which allows the movement of deer that have crossed highway barrier fencing into the traffic right-of-way to return back outside the fence structure.

CONT

The construction of a one-way gate consist of spring-steel bailer tines that are hinged and arranged to form a funneling valve that permits easy passage from one side and difficult or no passage from the other side.

OBS

When deer encounter a fence, they often follow it until they find a gap that enables them to pass through the fence and continue in their intended direction. One-way gates are positioned so that when a deer follows the fence it will find the gate and pass through to the outside of the fenced area.

OBS

Les cerfs qui se butent à une clôture vont souvent la longer jusqu'à ce qu'ils trouvent une brèche leur permettant de poursuivre leur parcours. Les barrières à sens unique sont aménagées de sorte que le cerf longeant la clôture arrive forcément devant et peut passer de l'autre côté.

A carabiner's weak axis. It runs from one side of the carabiner to the other side(the gate).

CONT

The minor axis runs through the biner’s width, which means that one part of the load is on the gate. Stressed along the minor axis the gate will fail from a very small load.

CONT

Carabiners for climbing are made of aluminum alloy and require a UIAA minimum breaking strength of ... 400 kilograms (about 900 pounds) along the minor axis.

  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
DEF

A high speed device concept that relies on electrons traveling not within a layer but across its thickness. The switching speed of a transistor is limited by the time needed for an electron to traverse the device's middle terminal-the gate in a FET, the base in a bipolar device. Electrons lose speed as they travel because they bump into atoms and each other. By making the path short enough, the electron will sail from one side to the other like a projectile without a single collision. Such ballistic transport was first demonstrated last year at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Labs(Yorktown Heights, N. Y.).
