The hammerheaded pick is a very old tool that came into the fire service via the railroad. The tool is very simple : a striking or hammerhead surface on one side of the tool head and a pick on the other side. The pick is wide at the head and tapers to a point at the end … The primary use for it in the fire service is as a digging tool. The striking surface as well as the pick can be used for digging earth, as in trench rescues, or for dismantling concrete or block in masonry accidents, such as collapses.

Subject field(s)
  • Analytical Chemistry
OBS

Two main types of sample splitter are in common use, known as calibrated lead devices, and dividing valves. Most of these are based upon the principle that the head of the capillary column constitutes only a small proportion of the total outlet from the sample injection block. As the carrier gas enters the block it carries a small amount of the sample into the capillary column while the remainder is vented away through a larger opening. This can be done by having the capillary column held at the axis of a circular hole in the injection block, or by having it forming a narrow arm of a T-or Y-piece at the column head. In either case the amount going into the capillary column can often be further regulated by means of a tapered needle control.

Ce bloc s'emploie pour prévenir la pénétration du joueur défensif. Pour une ouverture pratiquée à droite, le joueur contacte avec son épaule gauche tout en logeant le côté gauche de sa tête sur la poitrine du joueur défensif. De plus, il vise les hanches et utilise ses bras de la même manière que lors d'un bloc de l'épaule. Dans le cas d'une ouverture à gauche, le joueur effectue exactement l'inverse de cette tactique.
