Forepoles are driven from behind the permanent supports and into the loose ground and usually angled outwards. The method provides temporary protection to the miners at the face until space is available for erecting another set of permanent supports. On longwall faces, slots may be made in a soft band over the coal seam into which steel straps are forced. After the coal has been worked, the straps may be supported by props or again advanced to provide a measure of pre-support at the face. 2, record 5, English, - forepoling

The Statistics Canada Survey is a triennial survey that focuses on small businesses, given their importance to the Canadian economy and the challenges they face in complying with information obligations stemming from government regulations. The survey has two primary objectives. The government seeks to : improve understanding of how small businesses comply with information obligations stemming from government regulations and the cost of compliance; and establish a baseline measure of the compliance costs imposed on small businesses against which government can benchmark its progress in lessening the burden. 1, record 6, English, - Survey%20of%20Regulatory%20Compliance%20Costs

L'Enquête sur le coût de la conformité à la réglementation menée par Statistique Canada est une enquête triennale qui cible les petites et moyennes entreprises, compte tenu de leur importance pour l'économie canadienne et des difficultés auxquelles elles se heurtent dans la conformité aux exigences en matière d'information découlant de la réglementation gouvernementale. L'Enquête a deux objectifs principaux. Le gouvernement cherche : à mieux comprendre comment les petites entreprises se conforment aux exigences en matière d'information découlant de la réglementation gouvernementale et à déterminer le coût de la conformité; à établir une mesure de référence du coût de la conformité pour la petite entreprise, sur laquelle le gouvernement s'appuiera pour évaluer ses progrès dans l'allégement du fardeau. 1, record 6, French, - Enqu%C3%AAte%20sur%20le%20co%C3%BBt%20de%20la%20conformit%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20r%C3%A9glementation

For instance, on a printer, or printing press, strips of various CMYK [cyan, magenta, yellow, black] values are read with a measuring instrument. This information is saved into a file that can be used to define the color space of that printer or press. The same applies to monitors. Usually an emissive colorimeter is attached to the face of the monitor for calibration, and then to measure its color space, or color capability. This process of measuring a color space is called characterization... 5, record 7, English, - press%20characterization

Flexography has the potential to approach and rival the print quality of rivals lithography and gravure, if flexo converters are willing to pay the price. That price is awareness and control of printing variables. This type of control can be obtained with a press fingerprint -- or as it is more commonly called today, press characterization. Characterization, when done correctly, has the potential to control variability in the current process. 3, record 7, English, - press%20characterization
