English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Coal Preparation
  • Processing of Mineral Products
DEF

A screen for sizing coal or other material. It consists of a screening surface of punched plate or wire mesh mounted in a rectangular frame, supported in a horizontal or slightly inclined position and reciprocated longitudinally by a crank or eccentric and a connecting rod.

OBS

Shaking screens are usually worked dry, and chiefly in the sorting of coal.

OBS

shaking screen; jigging screen; reciprocating screen: terms standardized by ISO.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Respiratory System
CONT

Flow-type spirometers... are lightweight and portable because their components are small, but their mechanical operating characteristics are complex... Different flow-type spirometers measure :(1) pressure differentials created as expired air passes through an orifice or across a resistance element, [for example], composed of parallel capillary tubes or a mesh screen(pneumotachometer) ;(2) rotation speeds of a turbine as expired air flows across it(turbine) ;or(3) electrical current required to maintain the temperature of a heated wire as expired air flows across it(hot wire anemometer).

Key term(s)
  • flow type spirometer

French

Domaine(s)

  • Appareil respiratoire
CONT

Il existe différents types de spiromètres. Ils sont divisés en deux grandes catégories : les volumétriques et les débitmétriques. [...] Le second groupe d'appareils mesurent directement le débit et calculent par intégration en fonction du temps le changement de volume. Le débit peut être mesuré de différentes façons : par une turbine rotatoire comme dans un anémomètre, par le refroidissement d'une thermistance, par le changement de vitesse de transmission d'un ultrason ou encore par la chute de pression de part et d'autre d'une résistance à l'écoulement de l'air (le pneumotachographe).

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The US Navy’s Fleet Satellite Communications System (FLTSATCOM) is a constellation of five operational satellites used by both the Navy and Air Force as well as the presidential command network. The system with a design life of five years, serves as a secure communications link between the three users. Each satellite has 23 communications channels, 10 of which are used by the Navy for communication between its land forces, ships and aircraft. The Air Force uses 12 of the channels as part of its satellite communications system for command and control of nuclear forces. One channel is reserved for US national command authorities.

CONT

FLTSATCOM systems feature a main transmitting antenna that is 11 feet in diameter and surrounded by wire mesh screen. The body itself is hexagonal and is 8 inches wide and 4 feet tall. Two improved satellites recently joined four FLTSATCOM originals in orbit to extend the operation of the system well into the 1990s. The new systems carry an experimental extra-high-frequency package as a testbed for terminals being developed for the Milstar communications system.

Subject field(s)
  • Materials Storage
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
  • Grain Growing
CONT

There are two main types of primary cleaners : indent cylinder machines and screen machines. Most indent cylinder machines are equipped with a scalper-aspirator which combines a rotating cylindrical wire mesh with an air stream which passes through the falling grain stream. The former removes large foreign material such as wood, large straws, etc. while the air stream removes dust, leaves and other light objects. Thus the grain is cleaned partially before it reaches the indent cylinders.

This increase in electrical conductivity resulted from the release of sodium vapor from the probe. Using a two-stage flame detection system, one flame placed above the other but separated from it by a sodium hydroxide-treated wire mesh screen, hydrogen gas was added to the effluent of the column, and the carrier gas-air-hydrogen mixture was burned in the lower flame detector with its resulting electrical conductivity being the same as that of the usual flame detector.
