Record 1 2006-10-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthodontics
DEF

A single orthodontic wire usually located in the lower arch traversing the lingual surfaces of the teeth usually from molar to molar.

[The lingual arch is] generally used for stabilization, as a holding arch for space maintenance, for expansion, or to provide anchorage for intermaxillary traction.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Orthodontie
CONT

La perte prématurée d'une ou [de] plusieurs dents temporaires se doit toujours d'être interceptée immédiatement par la mise en place de mainteneurs d'espace pour assurer l'équilibre des arcades. Ils s'adaptent en fonction du type d'édentation. Pour les secteurs latéraux, à la mandibule, l'arc lingual est le stabilisateur de choix, pour le maxillaire, c'est l'arc de Nance qui est le plus fiable.

Record 3 1988-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

Suspension Bridges.... There are two variations of this type of bridge.... The second variation is to be found in San Francisco's... Bay bridge, which includes two 700-m. suspension spans end to end. Here the two pairs of stays on the adjoining ends of the suspension spans are fixed to a common anchorage. The horizontal components of the tensions in these cables are equal and opposite so far as the dead weight is concerned and so cancel each other out. The common pier is therefore primarily a gravity anchorage holding the combined vertical pull from the two pairs of stays.

Record 5 1980-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining Equipment and Tools
CONT

Resin Anchored Bolts.(...) It has been found that the use of resins will increase significantly the holding ability of expansion anchors. Two types of resin packages are available. In one type, the resin and catalyst are at opposite ends of a plastic envelope separated by a clip. The clip is removed and the package kneaded to mix the components. Then the package is thrust up the hole and a bolt with a mechanical anchor is inserted; in tightening the package will burst and the resin will ooze around the anchor. The other type is a glass capsule where resin and quartz granulars are contained in an outer glass capsule and the catalyst is in an inner tube.(...) Bolt ends need no threading for this anchorage.

Key term(s)
  • resin anchored roof bolt
  • resin anchored rock bolt

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage et équipement (Exploitation minière)
CONT

De plus en plus, au lieu du boulon ancré au fond du trou, on utilise les "boulons à la résine", dont la tige est soudée au terrain sur toute sa longueur par une résine synthétique. Une cartouche en matière plastique renfermant, séparés, la résine sirupeuse et le réactif de polymérisation est introduite dans le trou, puis on y enfile la tige du boulon, qui déchire les enveloppes; la résine se répand dans le trou, mêlée au réactif, et, en quelques secondes, elle fait prise; l'écrou vissé à l'extrémité de la tige et la plaque d'appui deviennent inutiles, sauf s'il faut maintenir un grillage.
