Subject field(s)
  • Radiotelephony
CONT

In Class 2 operation, hand-off is synchronous(the CFP transmits first in MUX2; there is no MUX 3). The channel to hand-off to may be negotiated between CFP [cordless fixed parts] and CPP [cordless portable parts] prior to the hand-off via Candidate Channels and Channel Confirm message exchanges. If a synchronous hand-off fails, the CPP tries to re-establish using MUX3. The message used to invoke a class 2 hand-off has the ability to specify more than the 40 basic traffic channels, and when sent by a CFP, has the ability to turn down the CPP's transmit power.

French

Domaine(s)

Lors du fonctionnement de type classe 2, le passage sur une autre liaison est synchrone (le CFP émet toujours en premier en MUX2; il n'y a pas de MUX3). La voie sur laquelle il doit y avoir passage peut être négociée entre le CFP [éléments fixes sans cordon] et le CPP [éléments portatifs sans cordon], avant le passage par le biais des échanges de messages de voies candidates et de confirmation de voie. S'il y a échec d'un passage synchrone, le CPP tente de rétablir la liaison en MUX3. Le message utilisé pour appeler un passage sur une autre liaison de classe 2 peut spécifier plus que les 40 canaux de trafic de base. En outre, quand il est émis par un CFP, il peut commander une réduction de la puissance d'émission du CPP.

CONT

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. Receiving hoods, on the other hand, are positioned to catch the stream of contaminants delivered to them by forces intrinsic to the operation.

OBS

Hood designs can be placed into three broad categories based on the methods used to capture contaminants: exterior hoods, receiving hoods, and exhaust enclosures.

CONT

Hood designs can be placed into three broad categories based on the methods used to capture contaminants: exterior hoods, receiving hoods, and exhaust enclosures.

CONT

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.

CONT

Receiving hoods are designed to exhaust air at the same rate as the airflow created by the process by which the contaminants are generated. If the receiving hood is not sized properly, problems such as overloading and spillage will result.

OBS

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. Receiving hoods, on the other hand, are positioned to catch the stream of contaminants delivered to them by forces intrinsic to the operation.

DEF

an adjustable stop with a projecting knife or hook that holds a piece of work on the bench.

CONT

Blocking knife.... The blade is forged to an iron bar varying in length from 1 to 4 ft. This bar has a hook at one end, and a handle, often T-shaped, at the other. The hook engages with an eye-bolt fixed to a bench or stool to form a hinge. In operation, one hand holds the wood to be shaped, while the other, by moving the knife up and down, pares away the unwanted wood, using the bar as a lever. The longer [size]... is used by cloggers, brush, and by boot-last and boot-tree makers; the smaller sizes are used for shaping rake tines, tent pegs, wooden spoons, etc.

OBS

All the terms listed above, except "bench knife" are common to England.

One important application of the vertical milling machine is that of die sinking. Dies used in drop forging and die casting have impressions or cavities cut in them by means of die sinking. The operation of machining a die cavity on a vertical mill is generally done by hand control of the machine, using various end mill type cutters. This is usually followed by considerable filing, scraping, and polishing to produce the highly finished, properly curved, and contoured surfaces required on the die.

Subject field(s)
  • Breadmaking
CONT

Ovens can, of course, be hand loaded with pans or straps. This arduous task is accomplished by mechanical means in nearly all large volume shops, however. The principle of operation of loading devices is relatively simple. Pans move over roller conveyors form the final steam proofer to a point in front of the relatively oven loading door. Their momentum carries them onto a series of rollers at right angles to the previous conveyor and parallel to the oven door. When a series of pans the width of the tray or hearth has collected, they are pushed into the oven. A retractable metal bar prevents additional pans from coming onto the loading platform while the pusher bar is operating.
