The idea of a pretensioner is to tighten up any slack in the belt webbing in the event of a crash. Whereas the conventional locking mechanism in a retractor keeps the belt from extending any farther, the pretensioner actually pulls in on the belt. This force helps move the passenger into the optimum crash position in his or her seat. Pretensioners normally work together with conventional locking mechanisms, not in place of them.  3, record 4, English, - seat%20belt%20pretensioner

A Y-shaped chain used to spin up(tighten) one joint of drill pipe into another. In use, one end of the chain is attached to the tongs, another end to the spinning cathead, and the third end is free. The free end is wrapped around the tool joint and the cathead pulls the chain off the joint, causing the joint to spin(turn) rapidly and tighten up. After the chain is pulled off the joint, the tongs are secured in the same spot, and continued pull on the chain(and thus on the tongs) by the cathead makes the joint up to final tightness.  2, record 11, English, - spinning%20chain

Lors d'une crise d'asthme les bronches se rétrécissent. La contraction des muscles qui entourent les bronches, l'augmentation des sécrétions et l'enflure des parois bronchiques sont responsables de ce rétrécissement. Ceci amènera une fermeture des voies aériennes empêchant le passage de l'air emprisonné dans le poumon.
