Record 1 2020-09-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusks, Echinoderms and Prochordates
DEF

A method used for the culture of bivalve molluscs (e.g. oysters, mussels, scallops) in which artificial substrates are placed in the water column for the attachment of spat.

CONT

All pearl farms need a steady supply of young pearl oysters(spat) to keep the farm in operation. Spat collection is the process of attracting larval pearl oysters onto artificial substrates...

Key term(s)
  • collection of spat

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Mollusques, échinodermes et procordés
DEF

Partie du cycle d'élevage des bivalves (moule, pétoncle, huître) qui consiste à placer des collecteurs dans la colonne d'eau afin qu'ils soient colonisés par le naissain.

Record 2 2011-07-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electric Motors
  • Navigation Instruments
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
CONT

A torque motor(also known as a limited torque motor) is a specialized form of induction motor which is capable of operating indefinitely while stalled, that is, with the rotor blocked from turning, without incurring damage. In this mode of operation, the motor will apply a steady torque to the load(hence the name).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteurs électriques
  • Instruments de navigation
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

Gyroscopes libres [...] Tous ces appareils sont équipés de détecteurs d'écart, permettant de mesurer, à chaque instant, la position angulaire relative de l'axe de la toupie par rapport au boîtier. Ils comportent souvent, de plus, des «moteurs-couples», permettant d'appliquer à la toupie des couples connus, dans le but de compenser certains couples perturbateurs ou encore d'obtenir de la toupie une précession déterminée.

OBS

Pluriel : des moteurs-couples ou des moteurs-couple.

Record 5 2000-05-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Arc Welding
DEF

Any arc welding method in which the current is pulsed to utilize the advantages of the spray mode of metal transfer at average currents equal to or less than the globular to spray transition current. [Definition standardized by the AWS.]

CONT

Pulsed spray welding is a variation of the MIG welding process that is capable of all-position welding at higher energy levels than short circuiting arc welding. The power source provides two current levels; a steady "background" level, which is too low to produce spray transfer; and a "pulsed peak" current, which is superimposed upon the background current at a regulated interval. The pulse peak is well above the transition current, and usually one drop is transferred during each pulse. The combination of the two levels of current produces a steady arc with axial spray transfer at effective welding currents below those required for conventional spray arc welding. Because the heat input is lower, this variation in operation is capable of welding thinner sections than are practical with the conventional spray transfer.

OBS

pulsed spray welding: term standardized by the American Welding Society (AWS).
