DEF

A rough diamond crystal containing inclusions visible to the naked eye.

CONT

Sawables are well formed and high quality octahedrons and dodecahedrons that can be sawn or cleaved into two stones before being polished and have a yield of 45-70 percent. This class is sub-divided into spotted which are sawables of lower quality and a yield of 40-65 percent.

CONT

[...] les sciables sont des octaèdres et des dodécaèdres bien formés et de haute qualité qu'on peut scier ou cliver en deux pierres avant de les polir; leur rendement est de 45 à 70 %. Cette catégorie est subdivisée en tachetés, des sciables de qualité inférieure dont le rendement se situe entre 40 et 65 %.

Record 3 2017-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Regulations and Standards (Food)
  • Slaughterhouses
CONT

Modern technology provides a quick and accurate method for grading hogs at federally inspected plants : An electronic probe is inserted between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of the carcass. The needle has a sensor light on the end. As the needle is withdrawn from the probe site, it measures meat thickness and fat levels. These measurements are fed into a computer, which generates a yield class estimating percentage of lean meat.

Record 5 2003-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rheology
CONT

Another important type of non-Newtonian fluid is a viscoplastic or "yield stress" fluid. This is a fluid which will not flow when only a small shear stress is applied. The shear stress must exceed a critical value known as the yield stress... for the fluid to flow. For example, when you open a tube of toothpaste, it would be good if the paste does not flow at the slightest amount of shear stress. We need to apply an adequate force before the toothpaste will start flowing. So, viscoplastic fluids behave like solids when the applied shear stress is less than the yield stress. Once it exceeds the yield stress, the viscoplastic fluid will flow just like a fluid. Bingham plastics are a special class of viscoplastic fluids that exhibit a linear behavior of shear stress against shear rate.... Examples of viscoplastic fluids are drilling mud, nuclear fuel slurries, mayonnaise, toothpaste, and blood.

Key term(s)
  • yield-stress fluid

French

Domaine(s)
  • Rhéologie
CONT

Les fluides à seuil sont des matériaux extrêmement courants dans l'industrie, en particulier pétrolière et agro-alimentaire. On peut citer comme exemples le yaourt, la mayonnaise, le dentifrice, la boue, etc. Pour faire couler ces matériaux, il est nécessaire d'appliquer une contrainte (force par unité de surface) supérieure à une valeur critique afin de casser leur structure interne.

CONT

[...] les applications concernent principalement les matériaux non newtoniens. Deux classes de lois de comportement très différentes sont abordées : les fluides viscoélastiques et les fluides à seuil, appelés également fluides viscoplastiques.

  • fluide visco-plastique

Record 8 1996-07-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Data Transmission
OBS

This class introduces two new concepts. Adaptive Packet Assembly and Data Phase Optimization, both of which further enhance performance. Adaptive Packet Assembly means that the size of the packets in which data is sent between modems is altered according to the quality of the physical link. The higher the line quality, the larger the packets. Data Phase Optimization means that repetitive control information is removed from the data stream to make packets more efficient. Both techniques when combined with Class 3, yield a protocol efficiency of about 120 percent.

OBS

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission de données
OBS

Ce protocole apporte deux compléments par rapport aux versions antérieures : suppression des informations de contrôle répétitives et correction en fonction de la qualité de la ligne et de la taille des paquets contenant les données. Cette technique multiplie le débit par 1,2. À titre d'exemple, un modem de 2 400 bps pourra atteindre une vitesse de transfert de 2 900 bps.
