La caractéristique essentielle que l’on demande à un casque d’alpinisme est sa faculté à pouvoir absorber l’énergie générée par des chocs violents (comme des chutes de pierres ou heurt de la tête du grimpeur lors de sa chute) de manière à n’en restituer qu’une faible partie à l’utilisateur. Cet amortissement est constitué soit par le système de sangle placé à l’intérieur du casque, soit [...] par une couche de matériau compressible, comme du polystyrène, placé sous la calotte du casque. 5, record 3, French, - casque%20d%27alpiniste

A typical micronic type filter... utilizes an element made of specially treated paper which is formed in vertical convolutions(wrinkles). An internal spring holds the elements in shape. The micronic element is designed to prevent the passage of solids greater than 10 microns(0. 000394 inch) in size. In the event that the filter element becomes clogged, the spring loaded relief valve in the filter head will bypass the fluid after a differential pressure of 50 p. s. i. has been built up. Hydraulic fluid enters the filter through the inlet port in the filter body and flows around the element inside the bowl. Filtering takes place as the fluid passes through the element into the hollow core, leaving the foreign material on the outside of the element. 3, record 6, English, - micron%20filter

Auditory evoked potentials(AEPs) are a subclass of ERPs [event-related potentials]. For AEPs, the "event" is a sound. AEPs(and ERPs) are very small electrical voltage potentials originating from the brain recorded from the scalp in response to an auditory stimulus(such as different tones, speech sounds, etc.). The AEPs that are recorded from the top of the head originate from structures within the brain(e. g., the auditory cortex, the auditory brainstem structures, the auditory VIIIth cranial nerve). 1, record 8, English, - auditory%20evoked%20potential
