Record 3 2008-03-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pumps
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Both gear-and gerotor-type pumps are used in the lubricating system of the turbine engine.... The Gerotor pump has two moving parts : an inner-toothed element meshing with an outer-toothed element. The inner element has one less tooth than the outer. The missing tooth provides a chamber to move the fluid from the intake to the discharge port. Both elements are mounted eccentrically to one another on the same shaft.

CONT

Pitot pumps are seldom used in gearbox lubrication systems, as it is more common to employ a positive displacement pump such as a gear pump or a gerotor type pump.

OBS

gerotor: A gear-within-gear pump that consists of an inner gear with one less tooth than the outer gear.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pompes
  • Propulsion des aéronefs
OBS

Les pompes à engrenages utilisent le profil combiné de deux roues dentées pour transvaser et augmenter la pression d'un fluide. Elles sont exclusivement utilisées avec des liquides.

OBS

pompe à engrenages emboîtés : terme uniformisé par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Maintenance.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Geochemistry
DEF

Element occurring in the triads of group VIII of the Periodic table, e. g., iron, platinum, rhodium; an element of the group in which, as the atomic number increases, the added electron enters an inner orbit, e. g. the rare earth elements.

French

Record 5 - external organization data 2005-08-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

Fission Product Containment. Uranium dioxide holds 95% of the fission products within its structure. Most of the fission products released come from the hot inner part of the pellet. These migrate to cracks in the cooler part of the pellet and escape into the spaces between the pellets. Some of this free inventory escapes if the fuel element ruptures.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Confinement des produits de fission. Le dioxyde d'uranium conserve dans sa structure 95 % des produits de fission. La plupart des produits de fission libérés proviennent de la région chaude au coeur de la pastille. Ils se diffusent par les fissures dans la partie plus froide des pastilles et s'échappent dans les cavités entre les pastilles. Une partie des substances libres s'échappera si le crayon de combustible se brise.

Record 6 2002-08-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
DEF

A stud-shaped element, the head of which is cylindrical for mounting within the bore of a spherical plain bearing or inner ring of a spherical plain bearing.

OBS

stud: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Paliers, coussinets et roulements (Composants mécaniques)
DEF

Élément en forme d'axe dont une extrémité est cylindrique en vue de son montage dans l'alésage d'une rotule lisse ou de la bague intérieure d'une rotule lisse.

OBS

pivot : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 7 2001-06-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • General Mechanics (Physics)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
  • Navigation Instruments
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
DEF

A gravity feedback which causes a stabilized platform to act in the same way as a pendulum with its mass at the earth’s centre.

CONT

Most inertial platforms are mechanized... in a "local vertical" mode, which means that the perpendicular to the stable element(inner gimbal) always points toward the center of the Earth. To accomplish this, the integrated outputs of the north and east accelerometers(vehicle velocity) are divided by the radius of the Earth and used as an additional signal to drive the gimbal torquers. This is known as a Schuler loop.

Key term(s)
  • Schuler’s loop
  • Schuller loop
  • Schüller loop

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique générale (Physique)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
  • Instruments de navigation
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

Ce type de boucle d'asservissement est appelé « boucle de Shüller » du nom d'un physicien allemand qui étudia les pendules pesants. En effet, la plateforme ainsi stabilisée s'apparente à un pendule puisqu'elle reste toujours perpendiculaire à la verticale.
