THROTTLING [19 records]

Record 1 2022-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications Transmission
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

[The company] will pay $60 million to settle a Federal Trade Commission complaint filed in 2014 over the company's throttling practices. The FTC charges that while [the company] promised its customers unlimited data, it didn’t adequately disclose that data speeds could be slowed to the point where common smartphone applications, such as web browsing and video streaming, would be difficult, if not impossible, to use.

Record 4 2013-11-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Regulatory Systems (Electronic Instrumentation)
  • Heating
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
CONT

Controls for efficient energy use... Many buildings use heating and cooling systems simultaneously. The zero energy band thermostat allows space temperatures to float within the comfort zone without using energy for heating or cooling. Separate heating and cooling set-points and separate throttling range adjustments can be provided for virtually any type of heating, ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC) system.

CONT

A dead band thermostat can be considered as a form of sequencing device which minimizes losses.

OBS

"dead band": The range of values of the measured variable to which an instrument will not effectively respond.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes cybernétiques de régulation
  • Chauffage
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
OBS

Il s'agit d'un thermostat qui commande la mise en marche d'un système de chauffage lorsque la température ambiante descend au-dessous de 18 degrés C et la mise en marche d'un système de climatisation lorsque la température dépasse 26 degrés C. Entre ces deux valeurs se trouve ce qu'on appelle une «zone morte» vis-à-vis de laquelle le thermostat ne «réagit» pas.

OBS

«thermostat à zone morte» : équivalent proposé par un employé de la compagnie Honeywell.

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
DEF

A continuous string of flexible steel tubing, often hundreds or thousands of feet long, that is wound onto a reel, often dozens of feet in diameter.

CONT

(Polyacrylamide) polymers are susceptible to shear degradation when they pass through a throttling valve. The method... used for rate control is the insertion of a long coil of tubing of relatively small diameter.... The diameter of the tube coil is calculated based on the shear rate for the desired flow rate.

OBS

The reel is an integral part of the coiled tubing unit, which consists of several devices that ensure the tubing can be safely and efficiently inserted into the well from the surface.

... the mere throttling of dry saturated steam when flowing through a permeable or porous resistance to flow must also cause superheating; for throttling is an isenthalpic process which-as can be seen from a Mollier chart-both superheats and(paradoxically) cools it slightly owing to the Joule-Thomson effect.
