CONT

The Energy of the Chest gathers in the chest, where it forms a "sea of energy. "... Its main function is to aid and regulate the rhythmic movement of respiration and heartbeat, and so it is intimately connected with the Lungs and Heart.

CONT

... since all these related emotions will tend to stagnate the Ancestral energy, and hence weaken the function of both Lung and Heart. (Organ Systems of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 1985, p. 186).

Uddiyana bandha is part of the bandhas(locks) family.... The aim of a bandha is to lock certain areas of the body to channel the vital energy(prana) in some very specific directions, so that purification and awakening can occur in the chakras and the nadis(energy channels). In uddiyana bandha, 3 kinds of energy are activated and redirected : apana, prana and samana, respectively located in the lower abdomen, in the chest, and in the center of the abdomen. Uddiyana bandha, when performed with the 2 other bandhas, unites apana and prana in samana, awakening a new type of energy.

CONT

Uddiyana bandha fait partie de la famille des bandhas (verrous). [...] Le but d'un bandha est de verrouiller certaines zones du corps pour diriger l'énergie vitale (prana) dans une direction donnée afin de purifier et d'éveiller certains centres des corps physique et énergétique. Dans uddiyana bandha, 3 sortes d'énergies sont sollicitées et redirigées : apana, prana et samana, respectivement situées dans le bas ventre, dans la poitrine et au centre de l'abdomen. Uddiyana bandha pousse apana et prana à s'unir dans samana, le résultat étant l'éveil d'un nouveau type d'énergie.

The Protective Energy is the energy responsible for resisting and combating External Pernicious Influences when they invade the body. It moves within the chest an abdominal cavities, and travels between the skin and the muscles. This energy regulates the sweat glands and pores, and moistens and protects the skin and hair.(The Web that has no Weaver, Understanding Chinese Medicine, 1985, p. 39).

CONT

However, the emphasis of Protective Energy is on protecting the body from outside invasion, whereas the emphasis of the body fluids is on moistening. (Organ Systems of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 1985, p. 18).

CONT

L'Énergie Protectrice, c'est l'ardeur des aliments. Elle est d'une nature trop fluide pour être contenue dans les vaisseaux, aussi circule-t-elle dans la peau et entre les fibres de la chair. Elle se sublime dans les membranes du diaphragme pour se répandre dans les cavités thoraciques et abdominales. (Le diagnostic en médecine chinoise, 1983, p. 29).

CONT

L'énergie nourricière circule dans les méridiens, l'Énergie Protectrice circule non seulement dans les méridiens, mais se dissémine aussi alentour, en dehors des méridiens. (Traité d'acupuncture, 1977, p. 26).

  • Pulp Preparation (papermaking)
CONT

A traditional "high-density" storage chest(i. e., at 12-15% consistency) and pump-out arrangement is illustrated in figure 9-56. The stock, usually conveyed from a washer/thickener, is dropped into the top of the chest. The pulp then moves downward as a plug with essentially no intermixing. At the bottom of the chest, a side-entry agitator provides mixing energy and a number of nozzles around the periphery supply dilution water. This arrangement, referred to as "zone agitation", reduces the pulp consistency to a fairly uniform level below 4%, suitable for conventional pumping. Additional dilution water is added at the pump suction for more precise consistency control.
