With respect to beef, the law is applied in a similar fashion, except that the trigger level is set at 117% of total imports for the corresponding period of the previous year only. This level, totalling 97, 244 tonnes of frozen beef for the first quarter of the fiscal year, was reached, and consequently the Japanese import tarif on frozen beef was increased from 46. 2% to 50% for the rest of the fiscal year. Imports of chilled beef did not reach the trigger level of 111, 541 tonnes for the first quarter, and therefore the import tariff remains at 46. 2%. 2, record 1, English, - trigger%20level

En ce qui concerne le bœuf, la loi est appliquée de façon similaire, mais le niveau de déclenchement est fixé à 117% des importations totales pour la période correspondante de l'année précédente seulement. Ce niveau, représentant 97 244 tonnes de bœuf congelé pour le premier trimestre de l'année financière en cours, a été atteint et, en conséquence, le tarif d'importation japonais pour cette denrée est passé de 46,2% à 50% pour le reste de l'année financière. Les importations de bœuf frigorifié n'ont pas atteint le niveau de déclenchement de 111 541 tonnes pour le premier trimestre, de sorte que le tarif d'importation est demeuré à 46,2%. 2, record 1, French, - niveau%20de%20d%C3%A9clenchement

The guns, so-called, are pressure vessels about 6 in. in diameter and 30 in. long. They are provided with a steam inlet, a bleed-off valve, and a means for heating the gun-usually by a gas flame. A charge of pellets [made from cereals] at 11 to 12% moisture is dropped into the open end of the gun from a gravity chute leading from the storage bins on the floor above. The end of the gun is sealed by a trip-valve. All valves are closed, sealing the gun. If the gun is heated by gas flames, it is slowly rotated while the temperature, and consequently the pressure, is slowly built up. The temperature may reach 500 to 800 degrees F, and the pressure at the end point may be 100 to 200 psi.... When the pressure reaches the necessary level, the end of the gun is suddenly opened by a trigger mechanism. The contents explode... into a cage or bin with a floor opening leading to a conveyor belt. 3, record 2, English, - puffing%20gun

A sewage pump is an essential component of any waste processing system. While most plumbing systems rely on gravity to bring the waste material down to the sewer level to be processed, occasionally the sewage line is on higher ground than where the waste is originating from. In these cases, a sewage lift pump must be used to counter the effects of gravity and transport the waste matter to its destination.... A sewage lift pump, the primary component of a sewage lift system, is essentially a large tank in which waste water and material collect. Within the tank is a float device which raises and lowers depending on the level of waste in the tank at any given point in time. When the tank fills with waste matter and the float rises to a certain point within it, the sewage lift pump activates. The lift pump essentially forces the waste water and material up through a series of pipes to the sewer or septic lines where it will continue to be processed. As the lift pump moves more material from the tank, the float will begin to lower. Once it reaches a certain point towards the bottom of the tank, it will trigger the lift pump to shut off. All sewage lift pumps also have a built-in alarm that will sound if the float fails to operate correctly. 3, record 3, English, - sewage%20lift%20pump

Evaluation of an intended nutritional change requires steps that are similar to those used in either the addition of a vitamin or mineral nutrient to a food or the evaluation of foods with health claims or both. For instance, such a change would trigger questions concerning the intended target group, what level of the targeted nutrient or other bioactive substance is expected in the food, what is the expected change in level of exposure to the targeted nutrient or other bioactive substance across all age and sex groups and at the upper and lower extremes of intake of the food, and the safety of this level of exposure. 2, record 5, English, - bioactive%20substance
