Le fonctionnement correct d'un cycle frigorifique ne peut être assuré sans un contrôle permanent et efficace du débit strictement nécessaire du fluide frigorigène devant être admis dans l'évaporateur. Pour ce faire, on a recours aux différents dispositifs, parmi lesquels le plus simple est un robinet-régleur à main, et les plus complexes [...] les détendeurs thermostatiques et thermoélectriques. Le but de tout régleur dans un circuit frigorifique est d'offrir une certaine résistance au passage du fluide frigorigène liquide venant du condenseur [...] de façon à provoquer, par «étranglement» du conduit liquide dans un endroit bien déterminé, une chute de pression entre le côté refoulement et le côté aspiration du système considéré.

CONT

Sticking brakes occur when brakes on a car(s) remain applied after a train brake release. When sticking brakes occur : a) Stop the train as soon as possible. b) Determine why the brakes are sticking. Possible causes for sticking brakes include : Overcharged air brake system. Hand brakes applied. Retaining valve not in EXHAUST position. Leak in the air brake system. Placing the automatic brake handle in the release position while the brake pipe reduction is still exhausting. An insufficient brake pipe reduction to ensure proper release.

CONT

The RTC Mech [Rail Traffic Control Mechanical Service Representatives] positions were established in response to a study group which examined “Why Wheels Fail.” As part of this study, it was determined that proactive monitoring and action might prevent wheel failures associated with sticking brakes.

A faucet assembly includes a first handle attached to rotate a fluid control member and includes a first groove. A second handle is attached to move the fluid control member along a central axis and includes a second groove aligned with the first groove. A retainer ring disposed is movable within the first and second grooves between a release and secure positions. A biasing member within the second groove biases the retainer toward the release position and a threaded member within the first handle biases retainer toward the secured position. The setscrew moves the retainer from the release position by moving a portion of the retainer from the second groove to the first groove within the first handle.

CONT

The invention relates to faucet assemblies having removable components such as hand sprayers and spray heads. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for retracting removable components of faucet assemblies.

CONT

A faucet assembly includes a diverter valve assembly mounted to an inlet of a cold-water pillar and is in fluid communication with a control valve disposed on a hot-water pillar. The diverter valve assembly selectively controls water flow through a spout and a hand spray. The faucet assembly includes a cold-water pillar and a hot-water pillar that are pivotally connected to a bridge that allows adjustment of a distance between the hot and cold-water pillars.

CONT

The hinged mounting nut is slidable over a water connection fitting such that the mounting nut can be slid over the water connection fitting and up against the bottom-mounting surface to secure a faucet assembly to a sink deck.

DEF

A portable, handheld blood pressure measurement unit consisting of a cuff that is easily applied with one hand, a built-in or attachable stethoscope, a valve that inflates and deflates the cuff automatically, and an easy-to-read data display screen.

OBS

Currently, there are three major configurations of blood pressure monitors for home use: the mercury sphygmomanometer, the aneroid manometer, and semiautomatic manual-inflation or automatic-inflation digital devices. ... The second most common type of blood pressure device is the aneroid manometer, developed in 1897. This type of meter is made up of a numbered dial and manually inflated cuff.

Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
  • Protection of Life
CONT

A vacuum-splint provides a quick form-fitting limb and/or spine immobilization during rescue and transportation to medical facilities.... When the valve is open, internal pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure allowing the device to be wrapped around the body part to be immobilized. Next, a hand vacuum pump is attached to the valve and a vacuum is created. This brings the walls of the device down on polystyrene beads internally which compress and form fit to whatever it is initially wrapped around. At the same time it becomes extremely rigid and can no longer be manipulated until the valve is open again allowing internal pressure to return allowing removal of the device.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Sur les lieux de l'accident, les spécialistes (SAMU [Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente], pompiers, ambulanciers) possèdent généralement une attelle gonflable dans laquelle est positionnée soit une partie du corps du patient soit la totalité. Le plus souvent il s'agit d'un matelas contenant des billes duquel on retire l'air ce qui entraîne une diminution du volume de celui-ci qui vient se plaquer contre le membre que l'on désire immobiliser ou l'ensemble du corps de la personne accidentée.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire Detection
CONT

... a preaction sprinkler system may be designed to reduce accidental tripping of the water supply valve by cross-zoning smoke detectors within a zone. Cross-zoning requires the activation of two smoke detectors before water is released into the dry pipe system. Upon the activation of the first smoke detector an alarm is sounded in the control room to warn staff of the situation so that they may react without delay, and possibly manage the fire by hand, and therefore prevent water release into the system.
