Effective wind speed is the combined effect of midflame wind speed and the slope equivalent wind speed in the direction of maximum spread(head fire). Effective wind speed is used in place of midflame wind speed when winds are blowing upslope and to determine size and shape(length-to-width ratio) for those fires.

Muenke syndrome is a condition characterized by the premature closure of the coronal suture of the skull(coronal craniosynostosis) during development. This affects the shape of the head and face. Other variable features include abnormalities of the hands or feet, hearing loss and developmental delay. Muenke syndrome is caused by mutations in the FGFR3 gene. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

A moulding process in which catalysed resin is injected into a closed mould already containing the pre-formed reinforcement.

CONT

Resin transfer molding(RTM)... uses a closed mold, in two or more parts, usually made of glass-reinforced polymers or light metal alloys, with injection points and vents to allow air to escape. Reinforcement is cut to shape and placed in the mold, together with any inserts or fittings. The mold is closed and a low viscosity thermosetting resin(usually polyester) is injected under low pressure through a mixing head in which hardener is blended with the resin.

CONT

Resin transfer molding is increasingly used for large fiber-reinforced polymer components. Shapes can be complex. Ribs, bosses, and inserts are possible. Foam panels can be insert molded to reduce component weight.

OBS

If a vacuum is used in resin transfer molding, the term used is "vacuum assisted resin transfer molding" (VARTM).

DEF

A gas burner in which the gas is delivered from the side(s) of the combustion chamber, resulting in a horizontal flame.

CONT

Inshot burners have become the dominant burner in North American residential gas furnaces, according to the American Gas Association. The burners have a single port, and fire into a pipelike heat exchanger. They differ markedly from older designs that had multiple burner ports with two-part heat exchangers, known as clamshells. Inshot burners have resulted in smaller furnace cabinets, a handy feature when remodeling a basement.

CONT

... the Multi-Port In-Shot Burners ... actually shape the flame cone to produce maximum heat with minimum fuel usage, and the heat exchanger is serpentine-shaped to provide maximum heat transfer.

OBS

Modern furnaces make use of four different types of main gas burners. These burners are : 1) drilled port; 2) slotted port; 3) ribbon; 4) inshot.... usually the drilled pot burner is made of cast iron. The others are made by forming steel into the desired shape.... The burner head is the top part of the burner. It is here that the ports are placed that determine the type of burners(drilled port, slotted port, ribbon, or inshot).... The burners parts are openings that release the gas and air mixture into the combustion chamber.

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.

While it rises, air is drawn into it and upwards(similar to the updraft of a chimney), producing strong air currents known as "afterwinds", while inside the head of the cloud the hot gases rotate in a toroid shape. When the detonation itself is low enough, these afterwinds will draw in dirt and debris from the ground below to form the stem of the mushroom cloud.

From the milling separator, the grain passes to a gravity separator. This machine separates materials that may be similar in shape and size but that differ in specific gravity, such as wheat and small stones. Uncleaned wheat is "floated" on a metal screen which is oscillating rapidly. The grain moves down the sloping screen to the outlet while the stones are propelled toward the head of the screen by the oscillating movement, and collected separately. Although only a very small percentage of stones may be present, their removal is important since they cause extensive damage to processing machinery. Also, if they are ground along with the wheat, the undesirable fine mineral matter will end up in the flour.

Le blé non trié "plane" sur un tamis métallique qui est animé d'un mouvement d'oscillation rapide. Tandis que le grain suit l'inclinaison du tamis, les pierres sont projetées vers la tête de celui-ci par le mouvement oscillant et elles sont recueillies séparément. Bien qu'il n'y ait que très peu de ces pierres, leur suppression est importante en raison des dommages importants qu'elles causeraient aux machines de meunerie.

CONT

Du séparateur de mouture, le grain passe au séparateur-aspirateur qui en élimine les matières inertes dont la forme et les dimensions peuvent être celles du blé, mais qui sont d'un poids spécifique différent, comme le blé maigre et les petites pierres. Le blé non trié «plane» sur un tamis métallique qui est animé d'un mouvement d'oscillation rapide. Tandis que le grain suit l'inclinaison du tamis, les pierres sont projetées vers la tête de celui-ci par le mouvement oscillant et elles sont recueillies séparément. Bien qu'il n'y ait que très peu de ces pierres, leur suppression est importante en raison des dommages importants qu'elles causeraient aux machines de meunerie. De plus, si elles étaient moulues avec le grain, les poussières minérales indésirables se mélangeraient à la farine.

Profanes, les clous gallo-romains cessèrent d'intervenir dans le jeu des ténèbres. Ils étaient forgés selon un procédé qui devait demeurer jusqu'au XIXe siècle et même, pour certaines productions particulières comme les clous de marine, jusqu'à nos jours. [...] Le fer [...] était chauffé à son extrémité dans un foyer de petite forge jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne la température du blanc soudant; puis, sur une petite enclume, l'ouvrier le martelait rapidement en ayant soin de le forger et de le contre-forger, c'est-à-dire en frappant alternativement sur les côtés contigus, pour n'élargir que lentement sous le choc du marteau et éviter de rendre le métal pailleux.

A surveying instrument for laying off offsets perpendicular to the main course and consisting of two pairs of sights at right angles to each other on a staff sharp at the end.

CONT

Equipment and instruments ... for 90° angle setting-out and slope measurement: the optical square [prism; cross-staff; box sextant] ...

CONT

The cross-staff-This is a long-established instrument but is less precise than the optical square... it consists of a brass box, octagonal in shape, about 75 mm deep and 60 mm broad. Down the centre of each face is cut a slot which contains a fine wire strained vertically. The staff can be fitted on the end of a ranging pole and be erected vertically. More properly, it should be attached to a tripod so that it can be placed exactly over a point on the ground by using a plumb-bob from the head of the tripod.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The [intermittent extrusion] process has three subcategories : the reciprocating screw method, the ram accumulator method, and the accumulator head method.... The accumulator head method has replaced the ram accumulator in its applicability for heavy parts. The reservoir, tubular in shape, is a part of the extrusion head itself. Plastic melt that enters the head first is also first to leave. A tubular plunger quickly extrudes the melt from the head annulus with a low uniform pressure, which helps to reduce the stresses found in other systems.
