English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Short, hollow cylinder or tube for insertion into a canal, vessel, passageway, body cavity, or duct.

OBS

Cannulae usually consist of a small-length rigid or semirigid plastic or metal tube, a handle, and a valve. The valve regulates the pressure within the cavity. Most cannulae are fitted with a trocar or stylet during insertion. After insertion, the trocar is withdrawn, providing a rigid or semirigid structure that can be connected to an external tube, catheter, or connector for the injection or withdrawal of substances. Cannulae may also provide a port through which diagnostic or surgical instruments are passed to gain access to and operate on internal structures. They can be used in a great variety of therapeutic and diagnostic procedures.

Record 3 1998-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Acupuncture
OBS

The eight exta meridians have no reciprocal connections between the solid and hollow organs, or the interior and surface of the body. Their function is supposed to be like that of a lake, regulating the excess or deficiency of water in the rivers-the main meridians. Six of the eight extra meridians have no acupuncture points of their own. They use the acupuncture points of the twelve main meridians. They do not have a circulation of energy. The exceptions are the Governing Vessel and Conception Vessel, which not only have their own acupuncture points but have their own circulation of energy.

OBS

These extra meridians are also known as "Odd Meridians", "Irregular Vessels", "Curious Meridians" or even as "Marvelous Vessels" when the treatment with it produced marvelous results in chronic diseases while acupuncture treatment on 12 Main Meridians failed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Acupuncture
OBS

Ce sont des vaisseaux très importants : d'une part du fait de leur origine ou de leur trajet ils transportent dans tout l'organisme la plus grande partie de l'énergie ancestrale, d'autre part ils jouent le rôle de réservoirs qui captent le trop-plein de l'énergie quand elle est en excès et la cèdent quand celle-ci devient insuffisante.

OBS

en chinois : qi jing.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
  • Food Industries
CONT

The design of the hollow fiber membrane module uses the fibers in a half loop with the free ends potted in epoxy resin. The loop end is contained in a pressure vessel. Feed solution is introduced around the outside of the hollow fiber. Filtrate passes through the fiber walls and flows up the bore to the open end of the fiber at the epoxy head. Brine is discharged from the opposite end of the pressure vessel.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
DEF

Module constitué d'un très grand nombre de fibres creuses assemblées en U ou en longueurs parallèles ou croisées, à l'intérieur d'un carter de géométrie tubulaire.

OBS

Le sens de la filtration peut avoir lieu de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur des fibres ou inversement.

OBS

Les modules fibres creuses ont pour avantage leur compacité, leur faible coût à l'achat et à l'entretien et leur faible consommation énergétique. Dans le cas où la séparation est effectuée de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, les modules fibres creuses sont inadaptés aux produits visqueux ou chargés en particules.
