Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 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 After insertion, the trocar is withdrawn, providing a rigid or semirigid structure that can be connected to an external tube, catheter, or connector for the injection or withdrawal of substances.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. 3, record 1, English, - cannula

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. 2, record 3, English, - extra%20meridian

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. 1, record 3, French, - vaisseau%20merveilleux

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. 1, record 4, English, - hollow%20fiber%20membrane%20module
