Record 2 2015-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Compressors
CONT

Rotary helical-screw type compressors are machines in which compression takes place in a compression zone between the rotors and the discharge end of the unit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Compresseurs
CONT

Les compresseurs hélicoïdaux comprennent, de nos jours, deux types : d'une part le compresseur SRM (Svenska Rotor Maskinen) ou Lysholm [...], à deux vis mâle et femelle, et d'autre part le compresseur Zimmern dit monovis qui comporte un rotor menant femelle à rainures hélicoïdales, et deux satellites à aubages radiaux.

Record 3 2014-04-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Strength of Materials
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
DEF

The intensity at a point in a body of the internal forces (or components of force) that act on a given plane through the point.

OBS

Stress is expressed in force per unit area(pascal, newton per square metre, kilogram-force per square centimetre, etc.). As used in tension, compression or shear tests prescribed in product specifications, stress is calculated on the basis of the original dimensions of the cross-section of the specimen.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
DEF

Intensité, en un point d'un corps, des forces internes (ou des composantes) qui agissent sur un plan de surface unitaire passant par ce point.

OBS

La contrainte est exprimée en force par unité de surface (pascals, newtons par mètre carré, kilogrammes-force par centimètre carré, etc.). Lorsqu'elle est utilisée dans les essais de traction, compression ou cisaillement prescrits dans des spécifications de produit, la contrainte est calculée sur la base des dimensions initiales de la section transversale de l'éprouvette.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Resistencia de los materiales
  • Fiabilidad y ensayos (Ingeniería)
DEF

Intensidad en un punto en un cuerpo, de las fuerzas o componentes internos de fuerza que actúan sobre un área de un plano que pasa a través del punto.

OBS

El esfuerzo en un punto se define por seis componentes: tres para los esfuerzos normales y tres para los esfuerzos de cizalladura en relación con un conjunto de ejes de coordenadas. Como se usa en ensayos de tensión, compresión o cizalladura prescritos en las especificaciones de producto, el esfuerzo se calcula con base en las dimensiones originales de la sección transversal del espécimen.

Machines rotatives - Le système de distribution du grain, c'est-à-dire le sabot, est fixe. Ce qui est mobile, c'est l'ensemble matrices et jeux de poinçons qui se déplace horizontalement. Un plateau circulaire horizontal ou couronne tournant autour de son axe constitue le support des matrices dont les trous verticaux sont répartis à égale distance du centre. À chaque matrice correspond un jeu de poinçons supérieur et inférieur qui tournent en même temps qu'elle. Au cours de chaque révolution chaque système matrice-poinçons passe devant différents postes : remplissage par passage sous le sabot, arasage, compression et éjection [...]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
  • Audio Technology
  • Radio Broadcasting
CONT

A compression limiter is not necessary, but very recommended if you are recording live audio to tape or to sound card samples. It is a separate piece much like an effects unit. It is used and connected usually directly in the path between instruments or microphones to your recording equipment. It auto adjusts the recording levels into your mixer or sound recording gear so that you cannot overload the record inputs. It also boosts the soft sounds so they do not get lost and hard to hear. It makes the soft strings or vocals audible as well as keeping those blazing guitars from over running the rest of your sounds.
