A furniture designer is a profession that can include both artistic flair and in-depth understanding of industrial function in conceiving and introducing designs. Employers of furniture designers may use them in wide roles; for instance, a home furnishings company may employ a furniture designer to create furniture with creative and decorative elements for homeowners. Some designers also work for furniture companies which create chairs and desks for classrooms or office/cubicle use. In this latter case, furniture designers are tasked with seeking function over form. 2, record 1, English, - furniture%20designer

Among the various process-mapping techniques used, a cross-functional process map(CFPM) is especially valuable. This type of map shows the steps and functional units involved in the completion of a specific process, thereby documenting the "what" and "who". CFPMs provide an in-depth understanding of the interactions among the various functions involved with each process and provide management with a vision of the organization they may never have been able to picture otherwise. 2, record 6, English, - cross%2Dfunctional%20process%20map

The Protein Crystallisation Diagnostic Facility(PCDF) offers a multi-user research facility to enable an in-depth knowledge and understanding of protein crystal growth processes under microgravity conditions without convection and sedimentation effects. The PCDF will be accommodated in the European Drawer Rack. The PCDF comprises a process unit and an electronics unit. The process unit includes a process chamber housing experiment boxes containing the reactors in which experiment solutions are hosted as well as the reactor control electronics. The experiment boxes include drive systems for the individual injection of solutions into the reactors, complemented by a stirrer for experiment solution distribution. Diagnostics are provided within the process chamber or can be installed directly in the experiment boxes. The electronics unit accommodates all the controls for performing experiments as well as the interfaces to the European Drawer Rack. 3, record 7, English, - protein%20crystallisation%20diagnostics%20facility

It is important to prevent wear of contact strip by arc during current collection and corrugate trolley wires. It is a key subject to ensure dynamic stability of the system for speed-up. For this purpose, the strength of trolley wire has been increased. Improvement of anti-arc properties and reduction of weight of sliders are also useful. For those purposes, high strength composite contact wires, high strength precipitation hardened copper alloy contact wires and metallized carbon sliders have been developed. Efforts are required to find an optimum combination of contact wire and slider materials. 2, record 8, English, - anti%2Darc

La capacité à «souffler» cet arc électrique (à le supprimer) sera donc donnée par le pouvoir de coupure. Un pouvoir de coupure de 10 KA (kilo ampère : 10 000 A) permettra de couper un circuit où circule 10 000 A max et de supprimer l'arc électrique qui résulte de l'ouverture de ce dernier. La fonction de commande est assurée. Sans pouvoir de coupure, pas de suppression de l'arc électrique et donc pas de possibilité d'ouverture du circuit : la fonction de commande n'est pas réalisée. Les constructeurs utilisent plusieurs procédés de suppression de l'arc. Parmi les plus répandus nous trouverons : allongement de l'arc électrique, utilisation de matériaux anti-arc (cuivre, bronze, zinc), guidage de l'arc sur des contacts autres que les contacts utilisés dans l'installation, soufflage magnétique [...] 3, record 8, French, - antiarc
