In pig slaughter electrical stunning is commonly used(carbon dioxide gas is an option). In smaller operations, the pig is hoisted for bleeding. After bleeding, the carcass is lowered into the scalding tank filled with water at around +60 °C(140 °F). After a few minutes, the carcass is removed and the hair is scraped off manually. 3, record 1, English, - pig%20slaughter

Lors de l'abattage des porcins, on utilise souvent l'assommage électrique (l'emploi de gaz de dioxyde de carbone étant aussi une option possible). Dans les petites opérations, le porc est hissé pour être saigné. Après la saignée, la carcasse est mise à bas et déposée dans un bac d'échaudage rempli d'eau à environ +60 °C (140 °F). 3, record 1, French, - abattage%20des%20porcins

What is cold-filling? Depending on the product application, the definition of cold-filling can vary greatly. Based on our conversations with several industry experts, we will ... define cold-fill temperatures as anything below the hot-fill range of 170-195°F and the pasteurization range of approximately 165-250°F. Cold-fill can range from just above freezing on through ambient temperatures all the way up to the boundary of hot-fill. So, we’re talking about 34° F-160°F -- a tremendous expanse. 2, record 3, English, - cold%2Dfilling

Some processors opt to "cold"-fill(or ambient-fill) at slightly higher than room temperatures to prevent condensation on the packaging. Some choose to cold-fill at temperatures below 45°F to optimize flavor freshness. For still other operations and products, a "cold"-fill of 150-160°F may be the most appropriate option. Ketchup for example, might be "cold"-filled at up to 160°F. Some juices, on the other hand, might benefit from a "cold"-fill at 120-140°F. 2, record 3, English, - cold%2Dfilling

Les jus subissent un traitement thermique très court et à haute température puis sont refroidis et conditionnés en ambiance aseptique dans des emballages stériles. On obtient des jus «ambiants» avec une DLUO [date limite d'utilisation optimale] de douze mois environ. C'est le principe du conditionnement en brique aseptique. 1, record 3, French, - conditionnement%20%C3%A0%20froid

Lockheed Martin has begun drop tests of its SCALPEL low-collateral-damage munition, the company announced May 27. Three inert SCALPELs were released by two AV-8B Harriers during a recent flight test at the Navy's China Lake test range in California, hitting their marks. The next phase of flights will demonstrate warhead lethality, the company said. SCALPEL is essentially a weaponized version of the company's enhanced laser guided training round with improved guidance and a small warhead. It is envisioned as an affordable option for close air support roles, especially in urban areas where it is crucial to hit targets precisely and avoid collateral effects. Medium-and large-sized unmanned aerial vehicles like the MQ-1 Predator could carry it as well as manned aircraft like the USAF F-16 and Navy/Marine Corps F/A-18 and AV-8B, according to Lockheed Martin. 3, record 4, English, - small%20contained%20area%20laser%20precision%20energetic%20load

Développer une bombe réelle à partir d'une munition d'entraînement [...] Lockheed Martin a discrètement lancé le développement d'une munition baptisée Scalpel (Small Contained Area Laser Precision Energetic Load) [...] Objectif affiché par l'industriel : développer une munition permettant «un engagement précis et des dommages collatéraux minimisés pour l'appui aérien rapproché en zone urbaine». A terme, [...] Scalpel pourrait être intégré sur de multiples plates-formes : F-16, F-18, mais aussi drones de moyenne et grande capacité. La bombe Scalpel [fait] l,9 m de long pour 10 cm de diamètre, avec un poids total d'environ 40 kg. Au premier regard, la forme de la munition fait plus penser à un missile qu'à une bombe, avec quatre surfaces de contrôle mobile actionnées pneumatiquement par azote à l'arrière de l'engin. La bombe est aussi munie de quatre voilures canard fixe placées à l'avant. 1, record 4, French, - bombe%20Scalpel
