Record 1 2019-05-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Slaughterhouses
  • Animal Husbandry
CONT

There are two types of captive bolt : penetrating and non-penetrating. Both are discharged by gunpowder or compressed air. A penetrating captive bolt works by concussion and trauma to the brain. It causes immediate unconsciousness and destruction of brain tissue as a result of penetration of the discharged bolt.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Abattoirs
  • Élevage des animaux
DEF

Pistolet (d'abattage) qui perfore la boîte crânienne de l'animal […]

Record 3 2011-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
  • Refrigeration Engineering
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
CONT

Low temperature hazard : some of the argon, carbon dioxide, and oxygen will be received in liquid form under pressure. In such form, the liquid and its vapor are extremely cold, ranging from-109 to-320 degrees F for nitrogen. Contact with material at these temperatures results in immediate destruction of tissue or can cause severe frostbite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
  • Techniques du froid
  • Congélation, surgélation et réfrigération
DEF

Tout risque associé à une exposition à de très basses températures.

OBS

Les basses températures sont dangereuses car elles peuvent faire geler l'eau. Comme la plupart des êtres vivants sont composés de plus de 65% d'eau, leur vie est en danger et ils doivent se protéger du froid.

Key term(s)
  • dangers des basses températures
  • risques dus aux basses températures

Record 4 2010-06-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

Upper distribution grid ... water regenerant solution are distributed by a device with regularly-spaced apertures calculated so that the distributed liquids flow into the unit uniformly and without turbulence liable to displace the resin bed.

CONT

Many clarifiers have devices to stir the bottom of the sludge blanket by mechanical means. The immediate consequence is the destruction of the floc already formed(destruction due to the thixotropic properties of the sludge), a reduction in the concentration of solid matter in the sludge blanket and the formation of eddies which tend to move towards the top of the clarifier.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Distribution supérieure. La distribution supérieure est réalisée par un dispositif comportant des lumières régulièrement réparties, calculées pour que les liquides distribués s'écoulent dans l'appareil uniformément sans créer de remous susceptibles de déplacer le lit de résine.

CONT

Des tranquillisateurs [...] s'opposent au développement de tourbillons.

Record 6 2008-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
DEF

The action of severing into distinct parts by a sudden application of force.

CONT

Accidental unbalances originate chiefly from the breakage of blades and may be substantial, bringing about a rotational stress which may assume very high values requiring immediate shutdown of the turbo-engine in order to avoid the risk of destruction of the turbo-engine and aircraft structures.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
DEF

Division, séparation brusque (d'une chose solide) en deux ou plusieurs parties.

OBS

Record 7 1981-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
OBS

Many clarifiers have devices to stir the bottom of the sludge blanket by mechanical means. The immediate consequence is the destruction of the floc already formed(destruction due to the thixotropic properties of the sludge), a reduction in the concentration of solid matter in the sludge blanket and the formation of eddies which tend to move towards the top of the clarifier.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
CONT

De nombreux décanteurs comportent [...] des dispositifs pour agiter la base du lit de boue à l'aide d'un moyen mécanique. La conséquence immédiate est une destruction du floc déjà formé (destruction due aux propriétés thixotropiques de la boue), une diminution de la concentration en matières solides du lit de boue et la formation de remous ayant tendance à se propager vers la partie supérieure du décanteur.
