Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
There are two classes of waste, known as ’hard’ and 'soft, ’and their treatment differs according to the class. Hard waste is essentially that from spinning frames, reeling and winding machines and all other waste of a thready nature. Soft waste comes from earlier processes where the fibres have relatively little twist and are neither felted nor compacted. 3, record 2, English, - soft%20waste

Connue officiellement sous le nom de scaphandre EMU (pour Extravehicular Mobility Unit), la combinaison est constituée de deux composantes principales : la combinaison spatiale comme telle (SSA, pour Space Suit Assembly) et le système de survie de base (PLSS pour Primary Life Support System). Le SSA comprend : [1] un dispositif de collecte d'urine, qui permet de recueillir les matières qui sont ensuite transférées dans le système de gestion des déchets de la navette; [2] un système de bio-instrumentation, utilisé pour suivre la fréquence cardiaque de l'astronaute en sortie extravéhiculaire; [3] un vêtement de refroidissement par liquide et de ventilation, ressemblant à un caleçon long de spandex et parcouru par quelque 90 mètres de petites canalisations où circule un liquide de refroidissement (eau); [4] une unité de communications, désignée bonnet «Snoopy», comprenant des écouteurs et des microphones pour assurer les communications bidirectionnelles. Les modèles récents permettent à cinq personnes de communiquer ensemble; [5] une partie inférieure, composée d'un pantalon et de bottes intégrées. [...]; [6] une partie supérieure rigide (HUT pour Hard Upper Torso) faite de fibre de verre; elle supporte le système de survie de base; [7] des gants, dont les extrémités de caoutchouc améliorent la dextérité de l'astronaute. Les modèles les plus récents sont dotés de chauffe-doigts, d'un casque avec visière réglable pour protéger la tête et les yeux du Soleil direct, des rayons ultraviolets et infrarouges ainsi que des micrométéorites. 2, record 4, French, - combinaison%20spatiale
