Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Industrial Tools and Equipment
  • Machinery
CONT

In a modern injection molding machine, the pellets are conveyed forward within the barrel by a rotating screw, and melt as they go. The molten plastic is deposited at the forward end of the barrel, displacing the screw backward. When enough material has been plasticized, a hydraulic cylinder pushes the screw forward, forcing the molten plastic ahead of it through a nozzle, sprue, runners, and a narrow gate into a water-cooled mold cavity, where the molten plastic solidifies.

CONT

... if the equipment with the malfunction is a plastic injection molding machine, the possible functions might include injection forward, injection return, screw run, back pressure control, clamp close, clamp pressurization, prefill shift, mold protect, and clamp open.

OBS

injection machine: term standardized by ISO.

Key term(s)
  • injection-moulding machine

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
  • Outillage industriel

CONT

Les premières presses à injecter comportaient un piston poussant la matière ramollie dans la buse [...] Dans les presses actuelles, la plastification est assurée par une vis sans fin, analogue à celle d'une extrudeuse. Cette vis [...] fait alternativement fonction de piston d'injection et de vis de plastification.

OBS

machine à injecter : terme normalisé par l'ISO.

Key term(s)
  • machine d'injection

  • Genetics
CONT

Leptin was identified in 1994 as the product of a gene that is defective in an obese strain of mice, ob/ob. Injection of leptin into the obese mice led to a return to normal weight, a result that made news headlines way beyond the scientific press. Further studies have shown that weight loss is a complex process, involving impaired response to leptin or the leptin receptor.

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Depuis l'isolement du gène ob en 1994, on a montré que son produit, baptisé leptine, peut corriger plusieurs types d'obésité chez la souris, liés ou non à une mutation de ce gène.

CONT

Le gène de la leptine serait bien associé aux formes extrêmes d'obésité humaine. Ce résultat est publié par les équipes du CNRS EP10 (Lille) et du service de nutrition de l'Hôtel-Dieu (Paris), alors que certaines observations commençaient à faire douter que ce gène, mis en cause dans un modèle murin d'obésité, ait un rôle dans l'affection chez l'homme. Comme la démonstration qui vient d'être apportée ne concerne que les obésités extrêmes, la question du déterminisme génétique reste toutefois ouverte pour les obésités " tout venant ".
