IMPACT WALL [9 records]

Record 1 2017-04-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prefabrication
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Electrical Wiring (Building Elements)
DEF

Prefabricated pipes for hot and cold water supplies, wastes, drains, and gas, as well as prepared cable for electric services, all ready for installation with the minimum of site work in an industrialized building method.

CONT

A set of prefabricated elements... has had impact of various degrees upon prefabrication. The most important of these is the utility core in which kitchen, bath, and laundry are arranged along opposite sides of a common wall containing electric power, water, and drainage.

OBS

The terms "sanitary core" and "plumbing services" are given as synonyms of "mechanical core" by SCOBU (A dictionary of building), but actually they are more specific in scope.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Préfabrication
  • Tuyauterie et raccords
  • Installations électriques (Éléments du bâtiment)
CONT

Les noyaux (dits aussi cœurs techniques) distribuent sur la hauteur d'un niveau l'ensemble des fluides d'un bâtiment : alimentation en eau, évacuations, tuyauteries de vide-ordures, gaines d'aération contrôlée, distribution électrique, gaines de gaz, colonnes de chauffage, câbles téléphoniques et de télévision, fluides spéciaux, etc. [...]

Record 2 2011-08-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
DEF

A diagnostic maneuver used to palpate a floating object or deeply placed movable organ or tumor. By judicious pushing and rebound or by sudden counterpressure, the displaced object is made to impinge on the containing wall, the impact being felt by the palpating fingers or hand.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
DEF

À la palpation bimanuelle, mouvement de va-et-vient que l'examinateur imprime à une masse (organe,tumeur...).

Record 3 2011-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Masonry Practice
DEF

A construction work composed of elements containing air voids.

CONT

Impact sound insulation [can be] determined by laboratory testing. A standard "tapping machine" is set to operate on a horizontal steel plate which rests against the test specimen. The sound transmission through the wall is then measured and the impact sound levels are converted to normalised levels using a reference equivalent absorption area of 1. 0 m². Adequate impact sound insulation is achieved if the performance of the test specimen is equivalent to, or better than, the performance of a cavity brick construction under the same test conditions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maçonnerie
OBS

corps creux : matériau de maçonnerie moulé comportant une proportion importante de vides d'air : blocs, briques creuses, et surtout hourdis creux pour entrevous de planchers.

Record 4 2010-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

The (...) bran finisher (...) is designed to give an effective final scalping by removing flour from the bran overtailing the (...) last break scalper. It has a fixed horizontal cylinder, the lower part (...) consists of a perforated metal screen; inside the cylinder is a high speed shaft with specially designed finger beaters.

OBS

for "impact finisher" : Separates the still adhering particles from the bran thus increasing flour yield in the mill.(...) The rotating adjustable beaters act on the tangentially entering stream of bran and throw it against the impact wall and the sieve.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minoterie et céréales
CONT

L'action de finisseurs à sons (...) est indispensable et permet de retirer quelques % de farine, les résultats sont encore plus efficaces quand le broyage est court (...)

DEF

«centrifugeuse à son» : Sépare du son les particules de farine qui y adhèrent encore et augmente ainsi le rendement en farine du moulin.

OBS

«centrifugeuse à son» : Les documents d'accompagnement proviennent d'un catalogue publié par Buhler - Miag, Uzwil, Suisse.

Record 5 2007-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Moon (Astronomy)
  • Geological and Other Scientific Names
OBS

Colombo is a lunar impact crater that lies on the strip of rough continental terrain between Mare Fecunditatis to the east and Mare Nectaris in the west. It is located to the south of Goclenius crater, and northwest of Cook crater. The rim of Colombo is circular, although slightly indented along the northwest where ’Colombo A’ intrudes slightly into the interior. The inner wall is asymmetrical, being much more narrow to the north and northwest and wider to the southeast. The rim is somewhat eroded, and several tiny craterlets lie along the inner wall to the southeast. The small satellite crater ’Colombo B’ lies across the south-southwestern rim.

PHR

Crater Colombo A, B.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Lune (Astronomie)
  • Noms géologiques ou scientifiques
OBS

Colombo est un cratère de 76 km et profond de 2 400 m situé sur la partie occidentale de la mer de la Fécondité (Mare Fecunditatis). Versants escarpés au sud et chevauchés par le grand cratère Colombo A au nord-ouest.

PHR

Cratère Colombo A.

Record 6 2007-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

A cylinder and piston assembly having damping orifices disposed on a wall of the cylinder is used for impact energy and force reduction. The damping orifices may be of any shape and, therefore, a cylinder and piston may produce variable damping forces and variable resistive forces. A damping orifice may be positioned at any point or location along the length of the cylinder bore.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

La présente invention a trait à un ensemble de cylindre et de piston comportant des orifices d'amortissement disposés sur une paroi du cylindre utilisé pour la réduction d'énergie et de force de choc. Les orifices d'amortissement peuvent être de toute forme et, par conséquent, un ensemble de cylindre et de piston peut produire des forces d'amortissement variables et des forces résistives variables. Un orifice d'amortissement peut être positionné à n'importe quel point ou emplacement selon la longueur de l'alésage du cylindre.

Subject field(s)
  • Modern Construction Methods
  • Waterproofing (Construction)
  • Building Ventilation
CONT

Panelvent has been specifically developed to combine high racking strength and water resistance whilst retaining high vapour permeability. It is durable, environmentally beneficial and highly impact resistant. It may be used with our without a breather paper and with or without a vapour barrier. It is widely used in conventional timber frame and breathing wall applications.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés de construction modernes
  • Étanchéité (Construction)
  • Ventilation (Construction)
DEF

Papier perméable à la vapeur d'eau.

OBS

respirant : Qualifie une paroi ou un revêtement qui ne font pas obstacle à la migration de la vapeur d'eau, et donc aux échanges hygroscopiques entre deux milieux distincts (échanges indispensables entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur d'un bâtiment). (breathing wall, membrane).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
CONT

cDNAs such as FLXPER1 and FLXPER2 will be valuable in examining correlations between cell wall associated peroxidase activities and stem lignification, and factors involved with expression, tissue localisation, intracellular targetting and secretion. The impact of lignification processes on commercially and agronomically important characteristics of flax, of which over 0. 5 million hectares are grown annually in Canada, can now be tackled with clones such as these.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biotechnologie
CONT

De façon générale, le ciblage cellulaire devrait pouvoir bénéficier de l'utilisation de vecteurs où le transgène est sous le contrôle transcriptionnel de promoteurs spécifiques des types cellulaires adéquats, en particulier de son propre promoteur, même si ce dernier est faible.
