INCREASED CHARGE [8 records]

Record 1 2021-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Weapon Systems
  • Energy (Physics)
CONT

To penetrate a target, KE projectiles rely on velocity and not an explosive charge.... Historical research indicates that KE projectiles are responsible for forty percent of tanks knocked out in battle. Because KE projectiles are normally fired at very high velocity, they have a very flat trajectory(flight path), a decreased time of flight, and increased hit probability. The effectiveness of KE projectiles decreases at longer ranges, since the projectiles slow down during long flights.

OBS

kinetic energy projectile; KE proj: designations officially approved by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces.

Record 2 2020-10-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Peripheral Equipment
CONT

Moving the plates in relation to one another changes their capacity for storing a charge, which in turn can generate a flow of electricity to fill up the increased capacity or drain off the excess charge as the capacity decreases. These minute electrical flows are detected by the circuitry of a capacitive keyboard. The small, somewhat gradual changes of capacity are amplified and altered so that they resemble the quick flick of a switch.

Key term(s)
  • capacitive key board

French

Domaine(s)
  • Périphériques (Informatique)
CONT

Les touches de clavier peuvent être de type capacitif ou mécanique. Les claviers capacitifs sont généralement plus souples, et moins bruyants, que les claviers mécaniques.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Equipo periférico (Computadoras)
CONT

El teclado capacitivo está construido sobre una tarjeta de circuito impreso; al pulsar sobre una tecla, ésta presiona un condensador que produce una señal eléctrica que detecta el procesador de teclado.

Record 3 1999-10-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
  • Construction of Boreholes (Mining)
CONT

"Bulling" or chambering of holes. The bottom of a small diameter borehole(such as diamond drill or wagon drill hole) may be enlarged by lighting and dropping a gelatine dynamite safety fuse primer into the hole. The burden is of course, too great for this small charge to break the ground. Its effect is to pulverize the rock in the vicinity and to expel it from the mouth of the hole in the form of dust. Meanwhile, the bottom of the hole has been increased in diameter in the form of a bulbous-shaped chamber, which will then accommodate a larger quantity of explosive. Care should be taken to allow the bottom of the hole to cool down before adding further explosives. The operation is variously called "bulling" or "chambering" or "springing". The method has been used chiefly in quarry work on bench holes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
  • Aménagement du trou de sondage (Mines)
CONT

Le "pochage" consiste à faire exploser au fond d'un trou, en les renouvelant plusieurs fois, de petites charges d'explosifs. On a parfois recours à ce procédé dans les terrassements de rocher ou dans les carrières pour élargir à sa base un trou de mine de petit diamètre, afin d'y concentrer une plus forte charge d'explosif.

Record 5 1993-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Law
  • Environmental Economics
CONT

If the rate of charge varies according to the region, there may be the danger that, when the upper limit for pollution is reached, the charge will not be increased and that regions with low rates of charge will exert an attraction on entrepreneurs even when pollution limits are exceeded.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit environnemental
  • Économie environnementale
DEF

Niveau maximal de pollution (exprimé en termes de concentration, de quantité ou de taux) au-delà duquel on trouve un état environnemental différent ou une situation différente en ce qui a trait aux lois, aux règlements, etc.

Record 6 1992-10-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Circuits Technology
DEF

A form of TTL logic in which Schottky diodes are used to clamp the transistors out of saturation, effectively eliminating the storage of charge within the transistor thus allowing increased switching speeds.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Technologie des circuits électroniques
DEF

Version optimisée de la logique transistor-transistor (TTL), dans laquelle on introduit dans le circuit intégré un nouveau type de composant, la diode Schottky, pour empêcher la saturation des transistors.
