Integrally woven sandwich materials : By using distance woven fabrics as preforms, integral core-skin sandwich structures can be made. In principle this provides two advantages compared with general sandwich structrures. First, a cost efficient production of sandwich panels can be done. Second, the integral nature of the sandwich preform provides delamination resistant sandwich panels.  1, record 1, English, - woven%20sandwich%20material

We all fly with instruments. The altimeter measures height above a reference. ... The aneroid altimeter uses a small sealed capsule containing air. As the instrument goes up, the air pressure in the capsule increases and by the design of the capsule, it is allowed to expand in a certain direction. This expansion is coupled by mechanical linkages to a dial display. The dial can be adjusted by a knob to read say height above sea level (QNH) or height above the field (QFE).

The basic principle of such a kind of technique is quite simple : light passes through a sub-wavelength diameter aperture and illuminates a sample that is placed within its near field, at a distance much less than the wavelength of the light.

Satellite navigation.... which has been developed over the last thirty years or so, essentially for military purposes originally, enables anyone with a receiver capable of picking up signals emitted by a constellation of satellites to instantly determine their position in time and space very accurately. The operating principle is simple : the satellites in the constellation are fitted with an atomic clock measuring time very accurately. The satellites emit personalised signals indicating the precise time the signal leaves the satellite. The ground receiver, incorporated for example into a mobile phone, has in its memory the precise details of the orbits of all the satellites in the constellation. By reading the incoming signal, it can thus recognise the particular satellite, determine the time taken by the signal to arrive and calculate the distance from the satellite. Once the ground receiver receives the signals from at least four satellites simultaneously, it can calculate the exact position.  2, record 6, English, - satellite%20navigation

Receiving hoods are positioned to catch contaminants that are discharged from an operation in a predictable direction. Examples of receiving hoods include canopies located over a hot process in which hot exhaust fumes rise to the hood level by their own buoyancy, and hoods located adjacent to grinding wheels to catch the stream of dust generated by the spinning wheel. Receiving hoods may physically resemble capture hoods, but they differ with respect to the principle used for contaminant capture. Capture hoods operate at a higher flow rate to generate the air velocities necessary to capture contaminants from a source some distance from the hood opening.

When AC is applied to a coil, a varying magnetic field will be produced around it. When another coil is placed within that magnetic field, it will induce a current flowing in that coil. This principle is called MUTUAL INDUCTANCE The amount of mutual inductance between the two coils depends on the distance between the two coils, and the angle between the two coils. When two coils are linked together via mutual inductance in this manner, we say that the coils are inductively COUPLED. When the mutually inductive coils are close to each other, we say that they are closely, or tightly coupled. When they are far apart, we say that they are loosely coupled. The greatest amount of coupling occurs when the coils are wound one directly over the other and on a closed iron core. The quantity of coupling between two coils is sometimes referred to as the Coefficient of Coupling.  2, record 8, English, - mutual%20inductance

Principle of operation of some automatic weapons, whereby the recoil energy imparted to the barrel is used to actuate the mechanism and perform the necessary cycle of operation. Two systems of recoil operation have been in use, as follows : a. Short recoil operation. The breechblock remains locked to the barrel only while the chamber pressure is high. This involves a barrel travel of only about 1/2 inch. The device locking the breechblock to the barrel is then released and the two components separate. The barrel may remain stationary and await the return of the breechblock, but in most modern designs the barrel has its own spring and goes forward into battery, e. g.. 50 calibre heavy machine-gun. b. Long recoil operation. The barrel and locked breech recoil a greater distance than the length of the cartridge. The breechblock is then held to the rear while the barrel is driven forward by its own spring. When the barrel is fully forward, it trips the catch releasing the breechblock, which then feeds the next cartridge into the chamber. Mainly encountered in semi-automatic shotguns.

Principe de fonctionnement de certaines armes automatiques, selon lequel la force de recul transmise au canon sert à actionner le mécanisme et à exécuter le cycle requis de fonctionnement. Les deux systèmes suivants de fonctionnement par recul sont utilisés: a. Fonctionnement par court recul. La culasse ne reste verrouillée au canon que pendant la période de haute pression de la chambre. La course requise du canon à cet effet n'est que de 1/2 pouce environ. Le dispositif de verrouillage de la culasse et du canon se dégage alors et les deux éléments se séparent. Le canon peut rester en place et attendre le retour de la culasse, mais dans la plupart des modèles modernes, le canon est pourvu de son propre ressort et retourne en batterie vers l'avant, e.g. la mitrailleuse lourde de calibre .50. b. Fonctionnement par long recul. La culasse et le canon verrouillés reculent d'une longueur supérieure à celle d'une cartouche. La culasse est alors retenue vers l'arrière pendant que le canon retourne à l'avant par son propre ressort. A son arrivée à la position avant, le canon actionne un déclencheur, libérant la culasse qui, à son tour alimente la cartouche suivante dans la chambre. Ce système est surtout utilisé dans les fusils de chasse semi-automatiques. Voir aussi "principes de fonctionnement - Armes automatiques".  1, record 14, French, - fonctionnement%20par%20recul
